Shuichi Shigeno’s original MF Ghost manga began serialization in Kodansha’s Young Magazine in September 2017. The manga went on hiatus in November 2022 as a result of Shigeno’s poor health and later returned in February 2023. This was followed by a two-month hiatus from April to June of that year, returning to start its “final battle” per Shigeno.
