Kore-eda Hirokazu Discusses Adapting 'Look Back' for Venice
Kore-eda Hirokazu announces his adaptation of Fujimoto Tatsuki's manga, 'Look Back,' set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
Mizuki Hoshino's shōjo manga 'Fukakōryoku no I Love You' is going on hiatus due to health issues, with plans to provide updates on its return.

Manga creator Mizuki Hoshino officially announced on Friday that their work, Fukakōryoku no I Love You (I Love You by Force Majeure), will be placed on hiatus due to health concerns. This decision has been prioritized to ensure Hoshino’s recovery and well-being. The announcement was made public via Anime News Network, which detailed the current situation surrounding the series founding creator's health.
Hoshino stated that they intend to reveal the return date of the manga at a later point, underscoring the importance of their health. This development highlights the often-overlooked pressures that creators in the manga industry face, which can lead to health issues and necessitate breaks from their work.
Hoshino's previous project, the Tiger & Dragon series, concluded earlier this year, indicating an intense period of productivity followed by the need to pause. In a recent interview, Hoshino mentioned, "It is essential for me to prioritize my health so that I can continue to share stories that resonate with readers."
Mizuki Hoshino launched Fukakōryoku no I Love You in Shueisha's Margaret magazine in August 2023. The manga features the story of Sena Kodama, a high school freshman grappling with her infatuation for a senior named Wataya. Despite her attempts to move on, circumstances continually draw her toward him, culminating in a unique “try-out date.” This premise has resonated well with fans of shōjo romance, contributing to a dedicated readership since its debut.
The title quickly became a topic of discussion within the manga community, with readers praising its depiction of teenage emotions and romance dynamics. The first compiled volume was published in November 2023, and subsequent volumes are anticipated, reflecting a growing audience eager to see how Sena's story unfolds.
With Fukakōryoku no I Love You receiving a favorable response from its readership, this hiatus may concern fans who are deeply invested in the narrative and its characters. The manga’s charm lies in its relatable themes of young love and self-discovery, which has attracted a passionate fanbase.
While Hoshino's health is the priority, the break could also serve to build anticipation for its eventual return, reinforcing the notion that quality storytelling necessitates the well-being of the creators behind such works. As fans await further updates, many have taken to social media to express their support for Hoshino during this challenging time.
As of now, Hoshino has not provided a specific timeline for when the manga might resume. Fans will need to remain patient and supportive as the creator focuses on their health before further progressing the story of Fukakōryoku no I Love You.
For further updates on the manga hiatus and the creator’s health, fans can refer back to Anime News Network and stay tuned for future announcements regarding Hoshino’s recovery and the manga’s return.
