This year’s 13th issue of Shogakukan’s Big Comic magazine announced on Thursday that the long-running Golgo 13 manga will resume in the magazine’s next issue on July 10.
As the employees are “absolutely essential” to the work on the manga, both Saito Production and Big Comic chose to prioritize their safety.
The story inspired two live-action films in 1973 and 1977, a 1983 anime film, a 1998 Golgo 13: Queen Bee original video anime, and a 2008-2009 television anime series.
The manga went on hiatus in May for the first time in its 52-year run, after an agreement between author Takao Saito’s Saito Production company and the editorial department of Big Comic.
