Pop Team Epic Goes on Indefinite Hiatus

Pop Team Epic, the four-panel gag manga by Bkub Okawa, will be on hiatus as of October 17, 2023. The cause for the pause in the series is officially “unforeseen circumstances,” though the exact details were not explained. It has not been decided how long this hiatus will last. The manga reached Pop Team Epic Season 8 before this break in activities took effect.
