Ōhashi Hirai's The Days of Diamond Manga Goes on Hiatus for 2 Weeks

The official X (formerly Twitter) account for Shueisha's Young Jump magazine revealed on Thursday that Ōhashi Hirai's The Days of Diamond (Diamond no Kōzai) manga is going on a two-week hiatus. The manga did not appear in the magazine's combined 36th and 37th issue on Thursday, but it will return in the magazine's 39th issue on August 29. The announcement noted that the hiatus was due to personal reasons for Hirai.

MANGA Plus is releasing the manga digitally, and it describes the story:

“I was meant to play baseball!” Jiro Ayasegawa has a natural gift for sports, but life can be lonely at the top. He's crushed other players' dreams. Some have even given up their sport altogether because of him. Eventually, he encounters "The Bambies," a low-level, local kids' baseball team that plays purely for fun. Jiro signs up, thinking that he's finally found an easy-going team to enjoy baseball with, until things take a sudden turn...

Hirai launched the manga in Young Jump in February 2023. Shueisha published the manga's sixth compiled book volume on June 19, and will release the seventh volume on September 19.

Update: Author's name and work's summary fixed.
