It's been announced that Little Glee Monster's manaka will be taking a break due to sudden deafness. 

According to Watanabe Entertainment, manaka went to see a doctor after feeling unwell when she was diagnosed with sudden deafness. She is experiencing ringing in the ears making it difficult for her to give a satisfactory performance. As such, she will be taking a break from her activities to devote herself to treatment. 

With manaka and Serina out, Little Glee Monster's nationwide tour 'Little Glee Monster Live Tour 2022 Journey,' which will kick off on April 28, will be held with just three members - Karen, MAYU, and Asahi. The members wanted to go on with the tour as they didn't want to betray the feelings of their fans who were looking forward to it. While it was originally an album release tour, the contents will be changed due to the situation.
