The following is a translation of Comic Rex's official response to Kannagi's hiatus. Comic Rex is the magazine from [sitelink=publishers.html?id=82]Ichijinsha[/sitelink] that houses Kannagi. This is a followup to our [sitelink=news.html?id=435]previous news post[/sitelink].

*We are aware that we have caused the readers of Kannagi a great deal of concern through the matter of its suspension.

TAKENASHI Eri was abruptly struck down by a sudden illness shortly after the manuscript for the December issue of ComicREX was completed, and after this she was immediately hospitalized due to her critical condition; as a result, publication of Kannagi was suspended.

After this, she underwent surgery, which proved successful, and now her condition is favorable and she is moving towards a period of convalescence.

After the publication of the January edition of ComicREX, there were some reports to the effect that "Takenashi has ceased publication due to the calumnies she was subjected to", but this is not the case.

TAKENASHI Eri is currently hospitalized, but even so she has expressed a desire to move towards resuming her writing.

We hope that readers will be kind enough to wait whilst she convalesces.*
