In So Deep, It's Love Already Manga Ends: Good News for Fans as a Side Story Is Coming
One of the beloved works in the world of romance, In So Deep, It's Love Already (known in Japanese as Numa Sugite Mohaya Koi), officially concluded its main journey as of Thursday, April 23, 2026. The series, which bid farewell to its readers with the final chapter published in the June issue of Kodansha's Dessert magazine, also brought exciting news. Immediately following the end of the story, the magazine management announced that a new side story chapter will be published, marking a brief return to the world of the characters.
Created by Reida Soragaki, this fun romantic comedy completed its journey, which began in May 2022, with a total of 10 volumes. The story revolves around Momoka Kirino, who, due to a past heartbreak, has turned away from real love and dedicated herself to her idols. The events that unfolded when Momoka began to see Shuuto Kametani, a new transfer student who bears an incredible resemblance to her favorite idol, as an "oshi" (someone one is a fan of), provided readers with both laughter and emotional moments.
The real treat for fans of the series will arrive on May 22, 2026. The special side story chapter to be published in the July issue of Dessert magazine will offer more details about the characters' relationship following the main finale. Additionally, as important information for collectors of the series, it has been announced that the 10th and final volume of In So Deep, It's Love Already will go on sale in Japan on July 13, 2026. In the West, Tokyopop continues to bring the series to readers in English under the LoveLove brand.
Such side story announcements are generally of great importance in filling the void left by the end of the main series and providing fans with hints about the future of the characters. How the unique dynamic between Momoka and Kametani will be handled in this new chapter is already a subject of curiosity.
