Arakawa Under the Bridge Manga Resumes in April

As was previously reported, Young Gangan magazine recently announced that the popular comedy manga 'Arakawa Under the Bridge' will end it's hiatus and will appear in the eighth issue of the magazine in the coming April.

Like Nakamura's other ongoing manga "Saint Young Men", "Arakawa Under the Bridge" has been on a half-year break since September of last year, due to Nakamura's maternity leave. In an illustration she recently drew, Nakamura announced that she gave birth to her child without incident, and is ready to return to her manga work.

Nakamura launched "Arakawa Under the Bridge" in Young Gangan in 2004, and has also been drawing "Saint Young Men" in Kodansha's Morning 2 magazine since 2006. Arakawa Under the Bridge has spawned two television anime series which NIS America is releasing in North America. It later inspired a live-action television series and a live-action film which just recently premiered on February 4th.
