I've been a long time follower of the author/this manga and from what I've gathered over the years it seem to be their mental health. They already struggle with their mental health a lot and I'm willing to bet that drawing this manga doesn't help with it (so the long break/it being dropped is understandable imo)

(This looks like it sent twice for some reason so sorry about that, at least on my end it does) but idk if I worded that comment well enough. I think the author is able to draw the characters, but is struggling with continuing the actual story due to the type of story it is. The theme is probably pretty heavy for them as they are already not in a good headspace. I hope they can feel better soon

if anyone's wondering, the author posted on their bluesky a photo of the main character 3 months ago,, captioned "As long as I can consistently draw faces, it's good for my mental health, so I'm just going to churn out a bunch of stiff-up, torso-standing doodles (seriously)." and they are currently active on. their bluesky earliest post is from yesterday.
To me, I still think they're working on the manga but they prioritise more on their life than the manga itself.
their account is @fnnnms.bsky.social btw
