School-Live! Manga Goes on Hiatus With Planned Return By End of Year

The August issue of Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Forward magazine revealed on Saturday that Norimitsu Kaihō and Sadoru Chiba's School-Live! (Gakkō Gurashi!) manga is going on hiatus starting with the magazine's September issue. The manga is planned to return before the end of the year.

Kaihō and Chiba launched the manga in Manga Time Kirara Forward in 2012, and Houbunsha published the manga's ninth compiled volume in Japan on March 11.

Yen Press is releasing the manga in English, and the company published the seventh compiled volume on June 20. The company describes the series:

Meet the members of the School Living Club! There's the shovel-loving(?) Kurumi Ebisuzawa, the big-sister figure Yuuri Wakasa, club advisor Megumi Sakura, and last but not least, the ever-optimistic Yuki Takeya. The School Living Club is just your average after-school organization where the girls hang out, have fun...and live at school as the sole survivors of a zombie apocalypse. NBD.

The manga inspired a 12-episode television anime series that premiered in July 2015. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired, and Sentai Filmworks will release the series on Blu-ray Disc and DVD on June 27 with an English dub. HIDIVE is also streaming the series with English subtitles and with the English dub.
