The Black Lagoon manga is returning to production after another long hiatus and we finally know a little more about what’s going on behind the scenes.Creator Hiroe Rei recently opened up to Comic Natalie on the struggles he’s had with his mental health over the past 15 years. That struggle resulted in the manga going on hiatus after hiatus.With the upcoming return likely being another limited run before a break, we decided it’s a great time to discuss the series and its background. And also ask the question: Is the outro sequence ripping off Twin Peaks???All this plus the latest anime news and our current watch list as the new anime season gets under way!Mental HealthIf you’re struggling or just have something you need to talk about, know you’re not alone. It’s not easy to ask for help or admit we need it, but airing out our struggles can help make them lighter to carry.Check out the Museum of Sticks & Stones Mental Health Resource Hub to find mental health services around the world: https://www.sticksstones.org/mental-health-hubLINKS:CBR Article: https://www.cbr.com/black-lagoon-rei-hiroe-depression-fight/Original interview: https://natalie.mu/comic/column/601767 (in Japanese)News: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-06-20/black-lagoon-manga-returns-with-1st-new-chapter-in-7-months/.225833VIDEOS!Kawaii-Fi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/KawaiiFiKyle’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KyleinOrbitTifa's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thetkennedy SUPPORT USPatreon: Patreon.com/KawaiiFiBuy us a Coffee: Ko-fi.com/kawaiifi JOIN THE KAWAII-FI COMMUNITYFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KawaiiFiAnime/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kawaiifianime/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@kawaiifianimeTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kawaiifianimeDiscord: https://discord.gg/p9ccFx8vTQ LISTEN ELSEWHERE?Spotify: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiSpotifyApple: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAppleYT Music: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-Fi-YMCastbox: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiCastboxGoodpod: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-fiGoodpodAmazon Music: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAmazonPocket Casts: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiPocket EPISODE SEGMENTS00:00:00 – Show Opener00:02:32 – What We’re Watching00:23:34 – Back Catalogue: Black Lagoon00:56:03 – Anime Communique01:18:31 – Next Time, Batman and K-Pop sushi eatersTags:anime,podcast,anime news,anime podcast,anime reviews,anime recommendation,Black Lagoon,Clevatess,HunterXHunter,Medakakun,Akira,Gigguk,GeeXplus,GATE,Cyberpunk Edgerunners,To Your Eternity,Bleach,Frieren,My Hero Academia,Fist of the North Star,Kaguya-sama Love is War,Fly me to the Moon
