Miyakokasiwa's Battle in 5 Seconds manga resumed on Thursday after a hiatus that began on August 13 due to the author's poor health and a depression diagnosis. The series, a remake of Saizo Harawata's original, continues toward its end.
Miyakokasiwa's Battle in 5 Seconds went on hiatus on August 13, 2026, with Shogakukan's Manga ONE app announcing the break.

Miyakokasiwa paused to focus on treatment and recovery, thanking readers as the series reached its 11th anniversary.
The hiatus followed a previous break over the same health issues. The series resumed in January 2025 after that earlier pause, and the current return keeps a manga the author has said is approaching its end moving again. Shogakukan had published the previous chapter on June 11 and the 31st compiled volume on July 10.
Battle in 5 Seconds is a remake of Saizo Harawata's original. It inspired a 2021 anime with a Crunchyroll English dub.
