'Even the Student Council Has Its Holes!' Manga Goes on Hiatus
Muchimaro's comedy manga takes a break from Weekly Shōnen Magazine due to the artist's health concerns, though the announcement confirms the artist is recovering. An anime adaptation is in development.

Muchimaro's Even the Student Council Has Its Holes! manga is taking a scheduled break from serialization. The manga will pause starting with this week's issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine and return on June 3 with issue 27. The magazine's announcement cited the artist's health as the reason for the hiatus, but also noted that Muchimaro's condition is improving.
The series follows Mizunoe Ume, a student who joins his school's student council hoping for an easy academic boost. Instead, he finds himself surrounded by an eccentric group of council members—each quirky in their own way, from airheads to secret perverts. The manga balances slice-of-life comedy with charming character dynamics that have made it a fan favorite since its 2022 debut.
Muchimaro has maintained a steady release schedule over the past four years, with Kodansha shipping the 12th compiled volume this past March. Seven Seas handles English publication and will release the first volume in September, with K MANGA offering digital access as well.
The bigger news for fans is that Even the Student Council Has Its Holes! is getting adapted into a television anime. Details about the adaptation—including studios, air date, and cast—haven't been announced yet, but the project confirms the manga's popularity continues to grow internationally.
These kinds of serialization breaks are standard practice in manga publishing, especially when artist health is involved. The fact that Weekly Shōnen Magazine's announcement emphasized Muchimaro's recovery should ease concerns among readers invested in the series. With the anime in development and English volumes rolling out soon, the franchise appears positioned for continued growth even during this temporary publishing pause.
