Winds of Farewell in the Manga World: Three Popular Series Prepare to Finale
We are entering a sad yet equally exciting period for manga readers. The end of the road is in sight for the popular series World’s End Harem: Fantasia, Kōshiki Furin, and Nezumi’s First Love (Nezumi no Hatsukoi). These three works are preparing to bid farewell to their fans by completing their stories in the coming weeks and months. The fact that these series, especially those that have been ongoing for a long time and have taken various breaks, are coming to an end has caused a great stir in the manga community.
The long-awaited day has arrived for World’s End Harem: Fantasia, which reached a wide audience with its fantasy elements and mature themes. This popular spinoff, written by LINK and illustrated by SAVAN, will officially end with the chapter to be published on April 26. As you may recall, the series went on a long hiatus in September 2024 and was only able to return on February 15, 2026. This fantasy universe, which followed the success of the main series World’s End Harem, offered readers a struggle for survival in a dark fantasy world from a different perspective.
Another significant development came from the Nezumi’s First Love front, signed by Tsugumiya. This gripping manga, which tells the story of an unexpected love affair involving a hitman, will officially enter its "Final Arc" with the 105th chapter to be published on May 18. On the other hand, Nikumaru's very new series Kōshiki Furin also announced with a surprising decision that it will finale in just three chapters. This short-lived adventure, which began its publication life on February 24, will bid farewell to its readers with a quick finale.
These finales once again show how fast the cycle in the manga industry moves and that every story reaches its peak at some point. The end of spinoffs of brands with a large fan base, such as World’s End Harem, is often interpreted as a harbinger of new projects or new announcements regarding the main series. The creators of the series are focused on the final chapters to conclude their stories in the most satisfying way possible. Let's see if these farewells will result in a finale that meets the fans' expectations or if they will open the door to a new beginning.
