This year’s second issue of Hakusensha’s Young Animal magazine announced on Thursday that Aki Katsu’s Futari H (Manga Sutra) manga will go on hiatus until April due to being hospitalized for surgery.
Katsu (Psychic Academy, The Vision of Escaflowne) has been drawing Futari H (Manga Sutra), which describes itself as a “love bible” or a “user’s manual” for people in love, in Young Animal and Young Animal Arashi since 1997.
Tokyopop published Katsu’s The Vision of Escaflowne, Psychic Academy, and Manga Sutra in North America.
The original Futari H manga inspired two original video anime (OVA) series in 2002 and 2014, a live-action series in 2000, and three live-action films between 2011 and 2012.
