The manga will instead resume in the magazine\u0026#39;s October issue, shipping August 28. The 17th compiled book volume, originally planned for summer, has been moved to fall. The series went on a one-issue break on April 28 due to Saiki\u0026#39;s health. Saiki revealed on April 6 that she was injured at a music festival in Tokyo\u0026#39;s Ariake district on March 29, when a crowd diver collided with her head and arm. A hospital diagnosed a sprained neck, and she was to return for a CT scan to check for possible brain bleeding. Neither the April nor the Monday announcement explicitly linked the breaks to that incident. Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the manga in English. Kageki Shojo!! entered its final arc in September and will conclude in the next volume.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Kumiko Saiki's health forces a second delay for Kageki Shojo!!, pushing the 17th volume to fall.
