The Case Files of Jeweler Richard Manga Goes on Hiatus

The May issue of Ichijinsha’s Comic Zero Sum magazine revealed on Thursday that Mika Akatsuki’s manga adaptation of Nanako Tsujimura’s Hōsekisho Richard-shi no Nazo Kantei (The case files of Jeweler Richard or literally, The Mystery Appraisals of Mr. Richard the Jeweler) novel series will go on hiatus with plans to return later this year.

Akatsuki launched a manga adaptation of the novels in Ichijinsha’s Monthly Comic Zero-Sum magazine in November 2019.

The appraiser is Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian, a brilliant and mysterious British jewelry expert.
