It looks like there might be a delay in the schedule of the Kingdom manga . Yasuhisa Hara , its creator, tweeted on November 26 that while he followed his usual morning routine, the manuscript of his background art never arrived... and it was the deadline to finish the manga. Upon contacting the delivery service, he was told that the manuscript's whereabouts were unknown.

Kingdom has a devoted fanbase in Japan which is now anxiously waiting. The manga currently has 20 million copies in print.
