'Draw This, Then Die!' Manga Takes 2-Month Break to Prepare for Final Arc
The December issue of Shogakukan's Monthly Shonen Sunday (Gessan) magazine revealed on Thursday that Minoru Toyoda's Draw This, Then Die! (Kore Kaite Shine) manga will take a hiatus for two months so that Toyoda can prepare for the final arc of the manga, as well as work on the manga's upcoming book volumes.
Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga, and it describes the story:Ai Yasumi, a first-year high schooler living on the remote island of Izu Ōshima, has one obsession: manga. When she discovers that her long-idolized but reclusive favorite manga creator, Yasuno-sensei, will make a rare appearance at Comitia, Ai doesn't hesitate—she has to meet her hero. But that single decision sets off a chain of encounters that will shatter her assumptions about art, genius, and what it truly means to create.
Toyoda (Love Roma) launched the manga in Shogakukan's Monthly Shonen Sunday magazine in November 2021, and the series is also available on Sunday Webry. The 10th compiled book volume shipped on July 10. Seven Seas Entertainment released the manga's second volume on November 3.
The manga won an award at the 70th Shogakukan Manga Awards in January 2025, and also won the 16th Manga Taisho awards in 2023. Additionally, the manga ranked at #6 for manga for male readers in the 2023 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (This Manga is Amazing!) guidebook.
The manga inspired a television anime that debuted on July 3. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan. The anime will get a second season.
