Sal Jiang announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday the Wicked Spot manga will end in chapter 16. Kadokawa published the 14th chapter on May 22, and will publish the 15th chapter on June 26.
Kodansha USA publishes the series in English and describes the story:
After spending over a century hiding in the shadows, powerful sorceress Sadako stumbles upon the dazzling world of social media and decides to post her way into her first real contact with humanity. She soon becomes an internet sensation, attracting a huge following of doting fans—and shocks them all by announcing she is a witch. The big reveal turns one follower called Hanako, a lonely young woman with seemingly inhuman strength and a curious resistance to magic, into a dedicated hater, and inadvertently sends them both on a whirlwind adventure beyond their wildest dreams!
Jiang debuted the series in October 2024 on Kadokawa‘s KadoComi app as part of the “CandleA” manga brand. Kadokawa shipped the first compiled book volume in February 2025. Kodansha USA shipped the first volume on May 26.
Seven Seas has published Jiang’s Black and White: Tough Love at the Office manga in English, and Tokyopop is publishing Jiang’s Ayaka Is in Love with Hiroko in English. Ayaka Is in Love with Hiroko has inspired two live-action series.

Dead by Daylight is no stranger to collaborations with anime and manga. In July 2022, the game partnered with popular anime series Attack on Titan for a set of player cosmetics. The game also had two anime related collaborations in early 2025 with manga creator Junji Ito that January and popular horror anime series Tokyo Ghoul that March.
Dead by Daylight is an asymmetric multiplayer game where one player takes control of a savage killer, who hunts down four other non-killer players in a killing ground. The goal of the non-killer players is to escape the killing ground. The game is well-known for featuring a wide cast of killers from other media franchises including Silent Hill, Halloween, Stranger Things, and many others. The game launched in June 2016 for PlayStation 4 and for the Xbox One in 2017. It was ported to Nintendo Switch in 2019, and PlayStation 5, Stadia, and Xbox Series X|S in 2020.
The NieR:Automata game shipped for PlayStation 4 in Japan in February 2017, followed by North America and Europe in March 2017. Square Enix also released the game on PC via Steam in March 2017, and on Xbox One in June 2018. The game launched on Switch in October 2022.
The game inspired a television anime NieR:Automata Ver 1.1a, which premiered in January 2023. The second cours (quarter of year) premiered in July 2024. Crunchyroll is streaming the anime.
