New Chapter status?

[undyinglight]

So the manga is on hiatus currently, but are there any other signs of life in the franchise right now?  Any new merchandise being released or on the horizon?  Any new dvd/blu ray compilations of past adaptations?

I'm happy waiting as well. I mean it won't be the first manga to enter an indefinite purgatory, but at least it's still getting some love.

In the mean-time i've been binge watching a load of 80's OVA's to feed my golden age nostalgia. Stumbled across one called 'Majuu Sensen' recently which bares some striking resemblances. I recommend checking it out if you are a fan of old anime. The manga pre-dates Guyver by a decade and is a mixture of devilman.

 

I've heard of this OVA, it was made by the late, great Ken Ishikawa - The creator of Getter Robo!

It just sucks that no one can ask Takaya what and why since that is seen as disrespectful for his culture. I find that frustrating. Still, I think it's rude that he didn't make an announcement and give an excuse. It's almost as bad as standing up a girl you asked out on a date. The point is, he could have said anything he wanted, it doesn't have to be about his personal life. At least than we'd know not to expect anything. But since it's taken this long and what ever chapters he was working on is in production hell. It's a bit obvious now.

...I sometimes wish Guyver wasn't my first anime. 

[jerrygoodman]

Okay...has there been ANY blips on the horizon?

[Tora Tan]

I don't think anyone's bothering to check any more. not much point.  it's been 5 years of hoping. we have to learn when to accept they are done with it.

Nope.

The only thing that has "changed" is that Japanese Twitter conversations have increased because they have been worried now that Miura has passed away, that the same thing might happen to Guyver.

[jerrygoodman]

PLEASE...for the love of all things Holy, let's not go there.

[Guyver2]

Miura passing was a real gut punch to me. "He died doing what he wanted no matter what right? I bet he was happy." 

Rest In Peace. 

[undyinglight]

Did Yoshiki Takaya know Kentaro Miura?  Both of them have been Mangakas since the 80's.  Many Mangaka paid respects to Kentaro Miura after his passing.  I know that Kentaro Miura inspired many to initially get into the industry though Guyver actually began prior to Berserk.  Has Yoshiki Takaya said anything or paid his respects to Kentaro Miura?

[Bio-Boosted Dude]

Takaya seems to be a very private person so while I imagine he probably paid his respects he probably didn't do it publicly. If he were going to say anything publicly I would rather it be about Guyver.

You ever get the feeling he and his Guyver ghosted everyone without so much as a goodbye handshake? 

 

[Masamune]

Is the consensus that Takaya owes the fans an explanation, or not?

To be honest, if he has no intention of picking up the series he should at least put the fans out of their misery.

Explanation? No. he can do whatever he wants with his life.

But confirmation whether or not to continue hoping for more? Yes. We absolutely do deserve that.

 

[durendal]

Well, we can't blame the author about this, but it should be the publisher's responsibility to let the readers know what the direction they will take about Guyver. 

[jerrygoodman]

Okay, refresh my memory, what is the name of the magazine that the story was featured in?

Well, I've been perusing Shonen Ace's website, and while I admit that my grasp of Japanese is...sub-par at best, I do see that Guyver still has a listing.

I know it isn't much, but hey...gotta have some reason to hope, right?

[Shin Mefilas]

Been away a long time, sad to see that things haven't improved but then thats a risk with long running Manga. 

If, and lets not lose all hope here, but if Guyver never comes back lets not forget it. It was my first anime, and it's an amazing series even if it remains unfinished.

These days I find myself watching one of the series that inspired Guyver, Ultraman as well as all it's sequels and spin-offs. I even see some  of the inspirations for Zoanoids.

Even now I think of Guyver even when I haven't watched the series in years.

[Markness]

I would honestly just be fine if Viz or another good US manga publishing company just re-licensed or license rescued Guyver and publish it in proper form. I could at least have a physical copy that’s right to left and in English. 

[Larz Zahn]

It just occurred to me.... I never read the translation for the last volume. 

 

I have the raw, and I went thru it, but I had absolutely zero interest in reading it at the time. Now I'm dying to read it but forgot where I downloaded it to!

Hah! I'm sure its on my old HD, I'll get it, but it just struck me outside of agito getting the exceed, nothing super interested me. 

[jerrygoodman]

So...I'm assuming there's still nothing?

Just gotta keep the eyes open, I guess...

[mistajase]

Just a thought... how many chapters were printed after book 32?
if there is any available, how can we get them?

[Salkafar]

Just one, As far as I know.

[Tora Tan]

it amounts to the same amount of story as one chapter in the compiled volumes, but it was 2 months chapter in shonen captain.
