Elden Ring Manga Takes a Short Break as Author Plays Latest Game Release
The beloved Elden Ring manga series, Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree, crafted by Nikiichi Tobita, is currently paused. This hiatus in publication, anticipated to last for the month, is due to Tobita's decision to focus on playing the recently released game, Shadow of the Erdtree. This was discovered via a tweet explained by the author and reported by GamesRadar.
Normally releasing new chapters on the 19th of each month, with the most recent chapter having been published, the author humorously cites playing the new installment of Elden Ring as the reason for this pause. Tobita, much like any fan, seems to be indulging in the game, possibly deeming it a form of research. In a light-hearted tweet, Tobita illustratively shared excitement for Shadow of the Erdtree, including depictions reflecting the game's intriguing aspects such as its characteristic glowing worms, which although cute, are famously challenging within the gameplay.
Fans of the manga can look forward to the continuation of the series, with new issues expected to resume by at least August. Meanwhile, the release of Shadow of the Erdtree will serve to entertain and engage followers of the Elden Ring universe.

McScratchey's Thoughts
When Your Passion for Gaming Influences Your Work Schedule
Let's talk about something every gaming enthusiast can relate to: the irresistible call of a new video game! Imagine being so eagerly anticipated to play Shadow of the Erdtree that you decide to put your professional manga creation on hold. This is exactly what happened with the Elden Ring manga creator, Nikiichi Tobita. Yes, you heard that right, Tobita chose gaming over manga drawing, at least for a month! It's a hilariously relatable situation that adds a whole layer of charm to Tobita's persona and makes the original Elden Ring manga even more endearing to fans.
The Road to the Erdtree manga is taking a brief pause, as Tobita dives deep into the realms of its gaming counterpart. I find it particularly amusing and quite refreshing to see Tobita candidly sharing this with fans, rather than coming up with a "more professional" excuse. This transparency only makes the community feel closer to the creator. Plus, one can argue - it's all in the name of research, right?
Tobita's Relatable Gamer Moment
In his announcement, which humorously featured a drawing of a character snug in bed dreaming of glowing worms (kudos for creativity!), Tobita turned what could be a mundane delay notification into a delightful interaction with his audience. This sketch not only shows his playful side but cleverly ties into the content of Shadow of the Erdtree. Just like many of us, Tobita's been enticed by those quirky, yet dangerous, glowing worms introduced in the game's trailer. Who can blame him for wanting to take some time to actually play what he's been drawing about?
Gaming or Work? Why Not Both?
It's a situation many gamers find themselves in - deciding whether to play or to pursue more productive tasks. Tobita's choice to prioritize playing Shadow of the Erdtree over drawing it underscores a universal truth in creative professions: sometimes, immersing oneself in others' creations can rekindle passion and inspire one's own work. So, while some might scoff at the idea of taking a break to just play a game, for creative types like Tobita, it could very well be a necessary part of the creative process.
In conclusion, while fans might have to wait a bit longer for the next chapter of Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree, Tobita’s decision reflects a deeply human aspect that many can resonate with. Plus, let's admit it - who among us hasn't been tempted to call in 'sick
