Ryuta Amazume's 'Sefure' Manga Series Has Ended
Ryuta Amazume's 'Sefure' manga has officially ended. The series began in March 2019 in Kodansha's Monthly Young Magazine and concluded with the publication of its final chapter as of July 2026. The news was announced by Anime News Network on July 14-15.
'Sefure' drew attention with its romantic comedy story. Ryuta Amazume is a well-known author who has previously created popular series such as 'Nana to Kaoru' and 'Ane Log'. In particular, 'Nana to Kaoru' gained a large fan base both in Japan and internationally with its unique BDSM-themed romantic narrative. Amazume's character-driven comics with high emotional depth are frequently followed by fans of the genre.
'Sefure' (an abbreviation in Japanese meaning 'sex friend'), initially addressed modern relationships with a humorous tone, but shifted toward more complex emotional bonds in later chapters. Throughout its publication, the series took its place on shelves as a total of 7 tankōbon volumes. With the finale of the manga, the story reached a complete conclusion; the author thanked his readers on his social media account and stated that he is working on new projects.
For Ryuta Amazume fans, this finale also creates anticipation for the author's future works. In previous interviews, Amazume had expressed his desire to experiment with different genres. With the completion of 'Sefure', we may receive news of a new series soon. For now, all chapters are available on digital platforms for those who want to read the series from beginning to end.
