The Quality Assurance in Another World (Kono Sekai wa Fukanzen Sugiru) manga is entering an extended break. Author Masamichi Sato announced the hiatus on Kodansha’s Comic Days platform this Saturday, citing the need to recover from a recent hospitalization for a hernia. There is no current timeline for when the series will resume publication.
Since its 2020 debut, the meta-isekai series has gained a following for its unique premise, which follows a village girl named Nikola who discovers her world is being "debugged" by a mysterious scholar named Haga. The manga’s 18th compiled volume is still set to ship in Japan this coming Monday, while Kodansha USA continues its English rollout with the 17th volume arriving on August 18.
This production pause follows the conclusion of the show's 13-episode anime adaptation, which aired during the Summer 2024 season. Produced by 100studio and Studio Palette, the series explored the mystery behind the "Seeker" society and the nature of the protagonists' reality. For those looking to revisit the story, the complete season remains available on Crunchyroll, including the English-dubbed version.
