Aguri Kurita’s supernatural romantic comedy has officially come to an end. After running in Monthly Dragon Age since late 2024, Midari ni Tsukasete wa Narimasen has published its final chapter, bringing the short-lived series to a close after less than two years in serialization.
The manga introduced readers to Yasushi Sugahara, an unemployed man who has a habit of saying “yes” to everyone around him. His ordinary life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a mysterious spirit who looks exactly like a college student working part-time at his family’s shrine. What begins as a strange supernatural encounter gradually develops into a story blending romance, comedy, and paranormal mysteries.
A Short Series That Built a Loyal Following
Although it never became one of Dragon Age‘s longest-running titles, Midari ni Tsukasete wa Narimasen earned attention for its lighthearted storytelling and unusual premise. Kurita balanced everyday comedy with ghostly encounters, creating a series that mixed romantic tension with supernatural elements without losing its easygoing tone.
Its concise length also allowed the story to move at a steady pace, introducing its central mystery early before focusing on the growing relationship between its main characters. For readers looking for a supernatural romance that didn’t require dozens of volumes, the manga offered a complete story in a relatively short format.
Final Volume Arrives This September
The conclusion of the series doesn’t mark the end of its publication just yet. The second collected volume, which will also serve as the manga’s final volume, is scheduled for release in September, giving fans the chance to own the complete story in print.
For Aguri Kurita, the ending of Midari ni Tsukasete wa Narimasen also allows the creator to continue focusing on other projects. The mangaka remains best known for My Wife Is a Little Intimidating, a romantic comedy that has developed a dedicated readership over the past several years.
While Midari ni Tsukasete wa Narimasen may have had a relatively brief run, it leaves behind a complete supernatural romance that offered readers a mix of humor, heartfelt moments, and paranormal intrigue. With its final volume on the horizon, newcomers will soon be able to experience the entire story from beginning to end in one complete collection.
