It's probably just a generic mantra for himself to keep faith. There's no way Shueisha would let him be coy about the return of the comic if a return was being planned.

This was a little more than generic, as he outright says the series is returning. If I had to guess what's going on, I would say the manga's return was planned to be announced when he put this up, but for whatever reason, a last minute delay happened behind the scenes and he wasn't informed of the change.

It would be nice to have a final hurrah with a Black Freeza arc and bring things to a close for real, but I wouldn't hold my breath on the manga returning.

Even so, would they be able to stick the landing? I'd be mildly worried about that.

I'll still welcome the manga back, I really miss having fresh stories, even though it's so late.
On hiatus.

They made a point to say it's on hiatus, not cancelled.

"Everything is for the return of the series." is not outright saying the series is returning.

He could’ve pretty much just nodded to the series returning in fall with Super Beerus (coming “fresh” of Genkidamatsuri). I believe that’s the case, as the statement is so vague, it can be anything and nothing at the same time.

While it def means that the franchise is returning into full mode - tv show on air, video games/promo, some staying power in subsequent media - we’ll see if the manga is returning as well as it doesn’t have to.
But would be fun, if they did with the manga what they did with Super and complete and insert Ressurection F and Broly arcs in :lol:

I certainly hope it will return in full force and that Toyotaro will be working with a skilled editor. If he does, I believe it could be better than what him and Toriyama did together before.
