Manga artist Seima Taniguchi announced on their X (formerly Twitter) account last Friday that their and author Masaya Hokazono‘s Pumpkin Night manga will resume serialization on August 19, over a year after it went on hiatus.

The manga went on hiatus in April 2025 to allow Taniguchi to recover their health.

Manga Planet publishes the series in English and describes the story:

Don’t read this at night! High school girl Asumi is more intrigued than terrified by the mysterious “Pumpkin Night” account that follows her social media profile. Asami follows back in curiosity, only to immediately regret it when Pumpkin Night comes to get her… Who is the face behind Pumpkin Night, and what led them to embark on this bloody rampage of revenge?

The series briefly went on hiatus in May 2021 and returned in July that same year. The manga’s second part ended in December 2023. Hokazono and Taniguchi launched the third part of the manga in January 2024.

Hokazono and Taniguchi launched the manga on the Manga Life Win website in 2016 and restarted serialization on LINE Manga app in August 2019. LINE Digital Frontier published the manga’s 10th compiled book volume in December 2024. Hokazono and Nao Kurebayashi launched the Naoko ~Pumpkin Night Gaiden~ manga prequel in LINE Manga in June 2020.

Hokazono serialized the Inugami manga in Kodansha‘s Afternoon magazine from 1996 to 2002 with 14 volumes. Hokazono later drew a new version of the manga with modifications titled Inugami Kai for 10 volumes. Manga Planet is publishing Hokazono’s Inugami Kai and Doctor Mordrid manga in English.

Kodansha USA publishes the series in English and describes the story:

Feeling like a fish out of water aſter moving to his mother’s sleepy seaside hometown, Yukiya is on his own one day when he hears agonizing moans coming from a secluded cove by the shore. Ignoring locals’ warnings about the so-called murderous monster said to haunt the sea, he goes to investigate and finds a beautiful young man in pain. The man, though unable to speak, seems to have the power to transform into all sorts of animals and sizes and quickly shrinks himself into a boy of Yukiya’s stature. A sweet relationship soon begins to blossom between the two lonely souls, but little does Yukiya know, this beautiful creature is hiding dark, hideous secret…

Hanabusa launched the series in Kodansha‘s digital Honey Milk magazine in May 2025. Kodansha shipped the second compiled book volume on March 12.
