| According to the official blog, Kobayashi Ritz, the author of manga "Saki", has announced that she (?) had been hospitalized due to an serious injury she got during a business trip. She had a surgery under general anesthesia and recently left the hospital. The release of the 11th volume of the comic book will be delayed for one month and the serialization of the manga on Young GanGan will be suspended until she will fully recover from the injury.

| And the hopes for Saki:Zenkoku-hen to be release by Summer season will be reduce due to this. |
 |
| Of all times...well, here's hoping for a quick recovery! |
| hope she get better. |
| She will get better soon. The tanoshii never ends, after all. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Well, atleast its only a 1 month hiatus(from what i've heard). I hope she gets better soon. But I hope she had some cute nurses when she was in the hospital, she deserves it. mlcdl said: And the hopes for Saki:Zenkoku-hen to be release by Summer season will be reduce due to this. The chances are about the same. The quarters are already one, and the semi's just started in early 2013 so no way those would have been done anywhere before late 2014 or early 2015 anyway. So if it just covers the quarters, we'll be getting it this year regardless of the hiatus. |

Considering that the first season covered the first 58 chapters(if I recall right) then most likely that to happen. |

| Before you panic, thinking "Oh no, Zenkoku-hen is going to get pushed back even more!", please note that Ritz has spoiled and will spoil things that haven't even happened in the manga yet via the anime, so whenever it was slated to air, it'll air regardless of this. :P Anyways... I hope she has a swift recovery with no complications. :) |
| Getting injured and going on hiatus weeks before ending your manga. That totally sucks. |
| Hope she get's better soon ^^ |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| awww..Get well son Ritz! :( Saki going hiatus.. ;_; It was already released pretty slowly too |
 |
| hope the author get well........ and reali look forward to zenkoku-hen! |
dtshyk said: There has been continuous and ongoing debate among fans in Japan about whether the author of Saki is male or female, and still there is no conclusion, and as far as I can see the opinion is very much divided since both sides have good points to support their view. Kobayashi Ritz, the author of manga "Saki", has announced that she (?) had been hospitalized due to an serious injury she got during a business trip. As for the business trip, Ritz said that it was for gathering information and material for the manga. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Hope the author gets well soon. |
 |
| I hope for his/her best recovery from this.~ |

Have I been having the incorrect image of her/him all this time?! T.T That's just sad |

Progeusz said: That is jumping to conclusion and too much bias, don't you think? A full-blown lesbian manga, like Sasamekikoto, can be written by a guy, and Saki is not even a full-blown lesbian manga at that.symbv said: I'm sure she is, only fellow lesbian would be able to create such a series.Takei_Hisa said: I think what I said is that Rits may not be a girl.

symbv said: Nah, it can't be it, just look at her pure love toward characters, not to mention self-inserting as Arata and lusting over Nodotits. Sasamekikoto has completely different style, only woman can create such mellow faces full of yuri vibes.Progeusz said: That is jumping to conclusion and too much bias, don't you think?

Progeusz said: Hmm... I am still not quite convinced. The face may look likely to be created by a female but saying so categorically that ONLY A WOMAN can draw this is stretching it, in my opinion. I believe the variety of human talent is less easy to predict than we often think. If we have guys drawing shoujo manga, BL manga or yuri manga, I believe that a guy can also draw something like Saki. If anything one may also argue that only a guy can create a superpower battle scenes like Saki or know details of mahjong rules so well like in Saki. only woman can create such mellow faces full of yuri vibes. Not saying Ritz is definitely a man. More like I am open to both the possibility that Ritz is a woman and that he is a man. |
