The Maid I Admire Looks Good with a Cigarette Manga Has Ended: Final Volume Coming in June!

Another farewell from the world of manga! The manga The Maid I Admire Looks Good with a Cigarette (Akogare no Maid-san wa Tabako ga Niau), written by Yomoyama and having quickly gained a dedicated fan base, has officially ended. It has been announced that the final compilation volume, which concludes the series' story, will be released in Japan on June 22.

The series drew attention by following a different path from typical maid-themed manga. The story focuses on the daily interactions between Misaki-san, a cool, mature, and cigarette-smoking maid, and a young man who harbors a deep admiration for her. Misaki-san's mysterious aura and modern "cool" demeanor were among the biggest features that distinguished the series from its peers for readers.

This work by Yomoyama actually began as a web-manga, as is the case with many modern success stories. The illustrations, which were first shared on the author's personal social media accounts and Pixiv, were turned into a professional serialization on the Comic Meteor platform due to the intense interest they received. Its structure consisting of short chapters and the sincere chemistry between the characters made the series indispensable, especially for those who love "healing" (iyashikei) type manga.

This news of the finale is both an exciting and slightly sad development for followers curious about how the relationship between Misaki-san and her admirer will conclude. With the final volume coming out on June 22, this short but impressive journey will come to a complete end. If you haven't started this series yet, now is the perfect time to give Misaki-san's smoky and peaceful world a chance before the final volume hits the shelves!
