Shirokuma Café (しろくまカフェ) is one of the rare gems that I picked up for this anime season because the gags are so hilarious. Unfortunately, the series creator mangaka Higa Aloha ヒガアロハ has announced via twitter that the manga series would be put on indefinite hiatus.
The problem actually lies with the anime adaptation, where Higa had not received any royalties payment nor given access to voice her thoughts on the anime production. Hence, she decided to stop the manga and got an intellectual property specialist to draft paperwork to Studio Pierrot.
It looks like her message finally gotten through to the management, where there is now a change of tone and she is allowed to overseee the anime production and perform checks on the character design and script. She was previously upset that the polar bear was drawn with four fingers instead of five.
