Considering that Anime Expo is slowly drawing near, I needed to post an update in regards to future releases of Bless the Metal.

I was planning on making a volume 4 or at least a 3.5 of BTM this year at Anime Expo, but I've been facing some problems since last year and my doctor had recommended that I try focusing on things that keep me happy, rather than things that get me down in the dumps. Unfortunately, Bless the Metal is a series that's an emotionally draining series and ever since I've gone on medication treatment, I can't get myself to write anymore of it for the time being. I'm still planning on working on more BTM volumes, but it won't be happening for at least another year or so.

I'm really sorry to keep people who have supported me in writing this manga hanging like this, but BTM is something that is very important to me and I don't want to half-ass any of my volumes. I will continue to at least stay in shape with my BTM characters, so I am planning on having at least 2 prints for it at Anime Expo this year.

Thank you for reading this!
