My Dress-Up Darling Manga Officially Concludes
As the anime prepares for its return, the My Dress-Up Darling manga has reached its conclusion. After seven years of serialization in Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine, the manga officially ended with chapter 115. Many fans, anime staff, and even the voice actors expressed their gratitude to Shinichi Fukuda, the manga’s creator.
Keisuke Shinohara, the director of the first season, also shared his thoughts: "Thank you, Fukuda-sensei, for completing Kisekoi’s serialization! I still can’t believe that the manga has truly ended. I’m very sad," he said.
He also promised to give his best in the production of the second anime season. Although the main manga has concluded, the publisher has confirmed that there will be a side story and epilogue to wrap up the story more completely.
