The Case Study of Vanitas Is Taking a Hiatus
The Case Study of Vanitas wrapped its first season earlier this year, and if you loved the vampire series, we have no doubt you found its manga ASAP. After all, the Square Enix series is still being published, and season one riled up fans to the point they were eager to read up on the manga. But thanks to a new report, readers have learned the manga won't be releasing any new chapters anytime soon.
The update comes from MangaMoguraRE, one of the biggest pages online dedicated to manga serialization. It was there fans were told The Case Study of Vanitas has gone on hiatus, and that is not the worst part. No return date has been shared for the manga, so Mochizuki could be on a break for quite a while.
As you can imagine, this hiatus has readers new and old surprised. The Case Study of Vanitas has been met with praises whether we're talking its manga or anime. However, when a creator needs to take a break, then they have to do so ASAP. The life of a mangaka is rather unforgiving, after all. Some of the industry's top creators have been burnt out by demanding schedules and work-related injuries. So if a simple hiatus keeps Mochizuki healthy and happy, readers can go without The Case Study of Vanitas until the artist is ready to resume the series.

Of course, you can always check out the anime during this hiatus if you need to keep occupied. Season one is streaming over on Crunchyroll, and its official synopsis can be read below:
"In nineteenth-century France, humans and vampires coexist. The young vampire Noé is traveling to Paris in search of The Book of Vanitas, which is said to be capable of unleashing a curse upon all vampires. On an airship, he finds himself embroiled in a strange incident. It is Vanitas, a human calling himself a vampire expert, who appears before Noé in the ensuing chaos. In Vanitas's hands is the very book that Noé has been searching for: The Book of Vanitas... Following this encounter, the curtain is set to rise on this tale of vampires, curses, and salvation."
