| I see the last post here was over an year ago and no news since then. Did he run out of ideas or did he loose interest in writing it? |

| No, he is really just that slow. And lazy. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| I wish the series would have ended with vol.26. Would have been a nice ending, I think. |

Given the current pace and the remaining plot it could very well be over 20 volumes that are missing till it's completed. Maybe my grandchildren will live to see theday this is finished. And people complain about Berserk... |

Especially when you re-draw the first volumes for a new re-edition |
| Hagiwara needs to get off his ass and finish this manga already. He can't expect readers to just be ok with him abandoning a series with all its rich history/worldbuilding, fantastic artwork, badass characters, and awesome fights. |
| Salmon is delicious. |

| He recently made new covers for the bunkoban edition of the first two volumes. Still no news about any new chapters, though. http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2014/05/16-1/bastard-heavy-metal-dark-fantasy-author-illustrates-new-cover-art |

| Just read up to volume 20, I knew this manga would never be finished so I didn't invest in it too much. It was fun though, especially when Hagiwara focuses on what he's actually good at like the humor and sexual antics (comes across way better in the VIZ media publications). The manga suffers quite a bit though when he tries to actually take it seriously and elevate it way beyond his skillset. Not everyone can be a Miura-level mangaka and even trying can totally ruin a perfectly decent manga. I liked the jump up to seinen-level sexual antics but what I don't like is this whole enormous time-skip thing in the middle of a story line that I was actually enjoying, and the tone of the story changed so much so fast. I skipped ahead to look around and I think I'm just gonna read the Vol 27 material and drop it. The art looks even better but 21-26 seem way too serious for its own good and besides that the mediocre scanlations kind of butcher the art anyway. |

An1nha999 said: This guy has definitely lost all interest in writing this and it's such a shame because the story was actually heading somewhere if you try to forget about all the useless sexual scenes. There's now an anime adaptation on Netflix but I wonder if it's going to be the same as the old anime where they'll just make a few episodes and then pretend like it never existed in the first place. I swear that when I found out the goddess of destruction was an angel I got CHILLS. The story has SO MUCH POTENTIAL and all I can do is hope that the writer one day realizes that he could have done much more. It is so sad. Still I hope that author will finish his work anyway! |

| I had to look up who Hagiwara is because I wanted to buy a game and find out what the character designer was famous for. If anyone's wondering what he's been up to lately, he came up with the original concept and character designs for some games: Quester, Quester Osaka or aka Metro Quester Osaka on the Switch. Haven't played them yet, so I can't say whether they're good or not... I was just impressed by the variety of character art in the game and that alone made me want to play them! I'll definitely check out the Bastard OVAs and a few chapters even though it's not finished. |
