This year's seventh issue of Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine is announcing on Friday that Ritz Kobayashi is resuming her Saki manga in the eighth issue on April 5. The manga has been on hiatus since February after she injured herself during a research trip and had to undergo an operation.

Kobayashi has been drawing the manga in Young Gangan since 2006, and Square Enix had scheduled the 11th book volume for April before her schedule setback. The manga inspired a television anime series, and a television anime adaptation of its National Tournament arc has been green-lit as well.
