The author of the “Infinite Stratos” franchiseIzuru Yumizuru, has sparked concern among his followers after posting a series of disturbing messages on his official Twitter account. In these tweets, Yumizuru expressed his frustration and doubts about his writing career, suggesting that he might abandon his work altogether, including the completion of his popular work.

In one of his most shocking posts, Yumizuru wrote: «What am I living for? I don't quite understand», making his current emotional state clear. In addition, he pointed out problems in his personal and professional life, alluding to the lack of support from his wife, who had apparently reprimanded him for working on manuscripts that do not generate income. «My wife is upset. He says not to write things that don't make money. So what's the point of writing? It doesn't make sense. I'm going to leave the new project, it won't make money anyway.», he lamented in another tweet.

And he continued: «Effort is only recognized when it is converted into money, that is being a true realist. I feel very bad about this. What is fun? There is nothing fun in life anymore. I don't have the courage to die, so I am in trouble. Money, money, money, it is so boring».

The situation worries fans of the franchise, who have not received an update of the original work since the publication of Volume 12 of “Infinite Stratos” in April 2018, that is, more than six years of inactivity. Fans who have been waiting for the story to continue fear that these statements are a sign that Volume 13, which was never released, may not see the light of day.

In this regard, the author wrote: «Volume 13 of 'Infinite Stratos' is always on my mind out of a sense of duty and responsibility, but the point is simple: it doesn't make money, so I won't do it. The end. Conclusion? I don't care. If it doesn't make money, I'm busy with other more important things. How boring. Life is boring.».

Among the comments from fans on social media, the uncertainty is palpable.”It's like the end of the road for him“commented one user, while another noted:”I don't understand what he's busy with. Why did you miss the opportunity to continue with such a successful project?“. Some believe that “The pressure to achieve huge financial success with 'Infinite Stratos' affected his ability to continue working normally.“. Others even wonder if his relationship with his wife has financial overtones, given that Yumizuru has repeatedly mentioned his obsession with money in his tweets.

“Infinite Stratos,” which has enjoyed notable success in both its light novel form and its anime adaptation, managed to capture the public’s attention during its peak, especially for its attractive character design and talented voice cast. However, the decline in Yumizuru's creative activity and his departure from the project left the franchise in a state of limbo.

Despite this, some followers still have hope that Yumizuru can resume his work, although others consider that the time of “Infinite Stratos” has passed. “With With a little more humility, he could have continued to enjoy the fruits of his success, but it seems there is nothing left.“, lamented one user. On the other hand, there are those who remember the strong impact that the franchise had in its time, both in the sale of figures and other derivative products.”The characters were designed to sell and they were successful.“said one fan, pointing out how the series’ visual elements played a crucial role in its success.

Meanwhile, uncertainty continues as Yumizuru fans wonder if this will be the final ending for “Infinite Stratos.”a series that, despite its initial success, seems to have disappeared over time.
