We’re definitely getting the Yen release of Fate Rewinder but we couldn’t pass it up when seeing it on German bookshelves! It is Sakaki’s lock screen so you know this fan worship is genuine!

It’s likely it’ll continue in Sunday with an adjusted schedule. The series is a flagship of the magazine and it’d be better to have serialized in Sunday occasionally than somewhere else.

It is worth noting that serialization rounds right down to absences are planned in advance, so it may be that the serialization is scheduled to return at a later date when there is space.

We’re nearing an unfortunate milestone. Frieren: Beyond Journey’s end last appeared in Weekly Shonen Sunday in issue #46 2025. (Out October 15, 2025) So unless it returns within the next two weeks, has been on hiatus for an entire year. (Cover from issue 2021 issue #30)

That being said Sunday’s being weirdly low key with promoting this to a point that I hope it isn’t DOA (As of this writing, volume one’s release date has yet to be confirmed.)

Iroha is a gentle, sheep-like girl who meets Kouya, a boy whose cadence mirrors a wolf in her favorite book. The two exist in separate universes during the school day until a promise to meet every Friday sparks a fairy-tale-like romance. Fittingly, new chapters will be released every other Friday.
