The announcement was also accompanied by an image of the "Notice: Suspension of Serialization." The timing of the resumption will be announced in a future issue of Weekly Champion. In response to this announcement, fans commented, "Thank you to Bonnoki sensei and the editorial team for choosing to take a break. Please sleep well, eat good food, play games, go somewhere, and take it easy." "As much as I look forward to your work, I really, really wanted you to take a break once, so I am relieved. Please take care of yourself. I'll be waiting for you for a long time." "We'll miss you, but we'll be waiting for you! It's just a blink of an eye for a vampire!"
