Aborted Arc: Readers of Season 1 would expect more to be elaborated on Black March's fickle spirit and relationship with Bam.The comic went on a long hiatus due to the author's health problems after chapter 485 in June 2020, resumed in May 2021, and went on hiatus again in August 2022 after chapter 550.
