The Shadows House manga by so-ma-to will be taking a three-week hiatus, as announced in the 51st issue of Weekly Young Jump magazine. This break comes as the series gears up for its final arc, with the original storywriter facing health issues.
Typically, Shadows House follows a pattern of publishing two chapters followed by a break for two issues. However, this hiatus will last for three weeks, with the manga set to resume in Japan on December 19, 2024, in the magazine’s third issue of 2025.
The manga, which has already been compiled into 18 volumes as of September 2024, has also been adapted into a TV anime. The anime has two seasons, the first airing in April 2021 and the second in July 2022, both of which are available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
For English-speaking fans, Yen Press publishes the Shadows House manga and describes the story as revolving around the mysterious Shadow family who reside in a dark mansion. These enigmatic nobles have no visible features and use living dolls as their “faces.” The series follows the interactions between mistress Kate and her servant Emilico as they navigate the peculiar rules of the house and their unique relationship.
The upcoming hiatus gives fans time to catch up on previous chapters and revisit the intricate world of Shadows House before the manga returns with its final arc. Stay tuned for more updates and mark your calendars for the series’ comeback in December 2024.
