Zettai Karen Children manga creator Takashi Shiina revealed on Twitter on Thursday that he will end the first half of the manga's "high school student arc" in this year's 20th issue of Shogakukan 's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine, which will ship on April 12. Shiina added that after that the manga will be on hiatus "for a little while."

Shiina had launched the high school arc as the final arc of the manga in August 2014. Shogakukan published the manga's 48th volume (pictured at right) on March 17.

The story of the manga follows a unique special-operations unit consisting of Kaoru Akashi, Aoi Nogami, and Shiho Sannomiya — three ten-year-old girls with paranormal powers — and Kōichi Minamoto, the hapless lieutenant who must supervise/babysit them. The manga later focused on the girls in middle school, and the dark premonition that has been made about their futures.
