Chiruran

Chiruran has finished and its English editions continue to arrive: Mangamo publishes it digitally as The Shinsen-gumi, and Titan Manga will ship a print 3-in-1 omnibus on January 26, 2027. Series artist Eiji Hashimoto confirmed in September 2026 that he has fully lost hearing in his right ear and plans to resume work while limiting strain.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 6

Chiruran: Shinsengumi Requiem, the manga by Eiji Hashimoto and Shinya Umemura, is off the magazine calendar but still moving in English. It ran in Tokuma Shoten's Monthly Comic Zenon from 2010, began its final arc with volume 32 in January 2022, and ended in April 2023. Mangamo publishes the series digitally under the title The Shinsen-gumi.

The print side follows. Titan Manga will ship an English 3-in-1 omnibus edition on January 26, 2027, and has revealed the cover for the first volume. The omnibus lands years after the manga ended and runs alongside the digital release under the other title, so English-language readers have two ongoing routes into the same finished work.

The other recent development concerns Hashimoto himself. He confirmed on his pixiv Fanbox page on September 15 that he has fully lost hearing in his right ear, after a diagnosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss in April. Treatment began within a week of onset, followed by two months of rehabilitation. He can now sit at his desk and work, and plans to resume activities while limiting strain on his mind and body.

Together the two threads describe a series whose publication has stopped while its creators and publishers set the pace. Titan's omnibus proceeds on a January 2027 date, and Hashimoto's stated approach to future work is one of limiting strain.
