English Translation

Ito’s symptoms first started flaring up last month. Eventually, the condition got worse to the point where he couldn’t move his arms or body, suffered from dizziness and headaches. The ailment soon started causing joint pains and even vision problems.

Ito traces this back to inflamed tonsils he suffered from two years ago. When he finally visited the doctor, he was diagnosed with autonomic ataxia. Ito sensei did not publish a chapter last month and has been taking some time off to rest. However, the recovery was not going as well as he expected. Hence, he announced a hiatus till the end of 2019.

We at EpicDope hope sensei recovers fast and takes care of his health moving forward.

The Demon Girl Next Door Plot:

“Yuko Yoshida is just an ordinary schoolgirl — until one day her dormant, devilish powers are unleashed by the demon Lilith! Yuko transforms into Shadow Mistress Yuko, a supernatural powerhouse with horns and a devil tail. Now she must defeat another mystical being named Momo Chiyoda, the shrine maiden of the Light Clan… who just so happens to go to Yuko’s school! But being a demonic magical girl isn’t as easy as it looks. Yuko has a whole lot to learn before she’s ready to fulfil her destiny and take on the Clan of Light.”
