The Black Lagoon manga is returning to production after another long hiatus and we finally know a little more about what’s going on behind the scenes.
Creator Hiroe Rei recently opened up to Comic Natalie on the struggles he’s had with his mental health over the past 15 years. That struggle resulted in the manga going on hiatus after hiatus.
With the upcoming return likely being another limited run before a break, we decided it’s a great time to discuss the series and its background. And also ask the question: Is the outro sequence ripping off Twin Peaks???
All this plus the latest anime news and our current watch list as the new anime season gets under way!
Mental Health
If you’re struggling or just have something you need to talk about, know you’re not alone. It’s not easy to ask for help or admit we need it, but airing out our struggles can help make them lighter to carry.
