So I've been reading the Black Lagoon manga for the first time start-to-finish (I have watched the anime + OVA + read volume 10 before now), and am realizing how in love with the series I actually am. The thing that really, really sucks, however, is that the creator keeps going on hiatus and hasn't put out a chapter in over a year! The previous story arc was a huge turning point in the story, and set the stage for a compelling second act that seems to be taking us towards the manga's inevitable conclusion. Problem is, there's no way to know that for sure. Not only is the creator not communicating if and when he's working on chapters or going on hiatus, he also hasn't given any indication as to how much longer we can expect the story to go on for. There's no indication that he will even finish the current arc!
And don't even get me started on Berserk! Christ almighty! Berserk fans are in the same "boat" as GoT book fans!
I greatly respect the creators however, and don't actually hold any kind of grudge against them. I understand that there are a million other factors they must consider in their lives and that their supposed magnum opus can't always be the priority.
That said, it would be nice to hear something from them every now and then XD
Anyone else have this issue with any series they love? Other issues can be considered as well, such as something you love having shitty fans, loving the work but condemning the bigoted creator, etc.
