Uo to Mizu Manga Ends in Next Chapter
Manga taking place during COVID-19 pandemic launched on October 14
The sixth and latest chapter of Gengoroh Tagame‘s Uo to Mizu (Fish and Water) manga on Futabasha‘s Web Action site revealed on Friday that the manga will end in the next chapter, which is scheduled for April 14.
The serialized version of the manga launched on Web Action on October 14, following Tagame’s published one-shot manga last May.
The manga takes place during the COVID-19 pandemic, and follows the relationship between company employee Kamoda and his friend Kōji, who is very good at cooking. In the one-shot, Kamoda is given an excess of cabbage through work, and he takes the cabbage over to Kōji’s house for Kōji to cook and for them to eat together.
Tagame launched the My Brother’s Husband manga in Futabasha‘s Monthly Action magazine in November 2014 and ended it in May 2017. Futabasha published the manga’s fourth compiled volume in July 2017. Pantheon Books shipped the manga in two two-in-one omnibus volumes in English. The manga was nominated for Best Comic at the 44th annual Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2017. The manga also won an Excellence Award at the 19th Japan Media Arts Festival Awards in 2015. Amazon named the book as one of 20 books in the “Comics & Graphic Novels” category of its Best Books of 2017 list. The Harvey Awards nominated the manga for its “Best Manga” category in 2018.
The manga inspired a three-episode live-action mini-series adaptation that premiered in March 2018.
Pantheon Books has also released Tagame’s Our Colors (Bokura no Shikisai) manga in English.
Tagame is best known for his gay erotic manga. German publisher Bruno Gmünder Verlag has published Tagame’s Gunji, Fisherman’s Lodge, Endless Game, and The Contracts of the Fall manga in English, and Fantagraphics Books‘ Massive: Gay Erotic Manga and the Men Who Make It anthology featured work by Tagame.

Azuki announced on Tuesday that it will digitally publish NAZ and Masato Fujisaki‘s Gloomy Bear: Apocalyptic Love manga based on Mori Chack’s Gloomy Bear character in English on April 4. The one-shot manga will be available on Azuki‘s website as well as on its iOS and Android applications.
Azuki describes the manga’s story:
A young man and woman have kept keychains as mementos of each other, even after they drifted apart. But one day, when they find themselves under attack by zombies, the keychains come to life to protect them! Can Gloomy Bear and All-Purpose Bunny defeat the zombies and bring the two back together?
Mori Chack created the Gloomy Bear character in 2000. The illustrator also created characters such as Podolly and Kumakikai.
The Itazura Guma no Gloomy (Gloomy the Naughty Grizzly) television anime series premiered in April 2021. The anime celebrated the 20th anniversary of the character. Mori had released a “trial” animated short for the character in 2014.
