New series and chapters
Two manga series conclude this weekend
Serialized runs in Kadokawa and Shogakukan magazines reach their end, marking the close of two distinct experiments in adaptation and comedy.
Funa Yukina's Liar Liar, the light novel adaptation about a student whose false Seven Star ranking at an Academy becomes both his greatest asset and deepest secret, ends today in Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Alive magazine, with Yen Press releasing volume four tomorrow. Yukina launched the manga in Monthly Comic Alive in August 2019, and the story concludes after running for nearly seven years (via Anime News Network).
Sefure wraps run. Ryuta Amazume's Sefure comedy series ends in Young King magazine's latest issue on July 27, another long-running title to close this month as serialization budgets shift toward newer experiments (via Anime News Network).
