Wednesday, October 30, 2024, saw the official X account for the My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv 999 manga announce that the series has resumed serialization. The manga returns with its 108th chapter overall, which was also published on Thursday, October 31 via MF Comics’ Ganma! publication platform.

However, it was also announced that the My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv 999 manga would be shifting to an irregular serialization. Yoshihiro Togashi’s Hunter x Hunter manga also recently adopted the same status. Likewise, it seems that mangaka Mashiro is still struggling with the health issues that plagued them during the manga’s most recent hiatus.

While the My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv 999 manga is shifting to an irregular serialization from chapter 108 on, fans do already know chapter 109’s release information. As of this article’s writing, the chapter is currently scheduled for release on Thursday, November 28, 2024, in Japan via MF Comics’ Ganma! imprint. No chapters beyond the 109th have had any release information revealed as of this writing.

Chapter 108’s publication marks the end of the most recent hiatus for the series, which began on February 22 of this year. The series’ official X account announced an indefinite extension to the hiatus on June 13. At the time, the Ganma! website shared that creator Mashiro was primarily focusing on recovering their health. No update on Mashiro’s health was given alongside the manga’s return from this hiatus.

Likewise, information on exactly what Mashiro’s health issues are isn’t easily confirmable or widely available, making it difficult to say what their health issues are. However, the fact that the manga is moving to an irregular serialization suggests them to be something of a chronic and debilitating nature. Regardless, fans are wishing the mangaka well and pleading they prioritize their own health above the continuation of the beloved shojo series.

Mashiro’s My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv 999 manga first began serialization in Ganma! in March 2018, and is still ongoing there today. The manga has been collected into nine compilation volumes, with a 10th being released in Japan on November 22, 2024. Three of the volumes have been translated into English, with two more releasing in December 2024 and February 2025. Mangamo releases the manga in English, describing it:

“Recently dumped, Akane is just about to quit the game she used to play with her boyfriend, when she meets Yamada in the same RPG. Yamada in real life turns out to be somewhat of a legend. The only problem is - he is ONLY interested in the game. As Akane's feelings grow, will Yamada's focus stay on the game?”
