Delinquent Gacha Manga Enters Final Story Arc

Delinquent Gacha, Hiroshi Shimomoto's unusual manga blending crime and gacha mechanics, is approaching its end at an unexpected speed. According to Anime News Network's report on June 10, 2026, the series has officially entered its final story arc. The manga was first published in November 2025 and quickly gained a large readership.

Shimomoto is a mangaka known particularly for his works in the romantic comedy and school life genres. His previous series include titles such as Kimi no Koto ga Dai Kirai na Watashi and Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru. Delinquent Gacha was a kind of experimental step for him – this series, blending the crime world with the popular gacha game system, tells the story of a high school student who fights crime with unusual weapons from a gacha machine.

The announcement of the final arc means the series will be completed in 2026. It has not yet been announced how many chapters remain or when the final chapter will be released. However, considering Shimomoto's fast-paced narrative and character-focused story structure, readers can expect a satisfying conclusion. While there is no clear information about the current publication platform and publisher, it is known that Shimomoto's previous works were published in Kodansha's Magazine Pocket app.

This news adds another example to the recent trend of short-lived manga. The fact that a concept like Delinquent Gacha is ending in such a short time seems likely to spark various interpretations among readers. For those following the series, the main question now is how the author will close out the gacha system and crime theme in the finale. The manga, which will head toward its conclusion with new chapters in the coming weeks, may be remembered as a short but impactful stop in Shimomoto's career.
