A Girl & Her Guard Dog Manga Hiatus Update: Break to Extend Amid Author’s Poor Health
Kodansha's Bessatsu Friend magazine has announced that mangaka Hatsuharu's A Girl & Her Guard Dog will extend its hiatus. The original hiatus was announced in December.
In the latest issue of Kodansha’s Bessatsu Friend magazine, it was revealed that Hatsuharu’s manga A Girl & Her Guard Dog will, unfortunately, be extending its hiatus. The original A Girl & Her Guard Dog hiatus was announced in December due to mangaka Hatsuharu’s poor health but, it appears, four months later and the author’s health hasn’t improved enough to want to return to the punishing schedule of creating an ongoing manga series.
According to Bessatsu Friend, it was decided to extend the manga’s hiatus longer, as it has a second year arc coming up, and the author wants to prepare for that.

"Isaku never asked to be the daughter of a yakuza boss, but when her parents died in a car accident when she was 5, her gangster grandfather took her in and raised her as part of the clan. After years of being avoided by her schoolmates because of her family ties, Isaku is finally ready to make her high-school debut, live a normal life, and maybe even find love...until loyal family servant and Isaku's dedicated guardian, 26-year-old Keiya, enters high school right alongside her and vows to protect her from all of the above! Now she's got a chain-smoking, pistol-wielding knight-in-shining(?)-armor to deal with, and navigating high school besides? What's a young lady to do?!"
