Manga author Teki Yatsuda announced on their X (formerly Twitter) account that they have submitted the final chapter of their Myther manga on Tuesday. Yatsuda did not state when the final chapter will be published.
Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga and will publish the manga’s first volume in English on January 19, 2027. The company describes the manga:
It is the near future, and the night sky over Tokyo glitters with LED light. One of the screens, five stories high, shows a woman tucking a device behind her ear. A voice makes a promise. “Want to become a new you? Meet MYTHER the device that will design your perfect self and make all your dreams come true.”
Meanwhile, inside one of these buildings, someone is committing a savage and inexplicable murder.
The shining land of Japan is full of beautiful people, thanks some would say to Ideva, the company that developed the Myther. Representing the forefront of AI technology, this curved piece of metal contains a custom-built neural interface designed to help you become the ideal version of yourself, and eliminate the weaknesses that are holding you back. But it’s become clear that something is going wrong, and Kyo, an agent with the top-secret National Special Intelligence Office, has been assigned to unravel a series of bloody deaths that all seem to revolve around the device that has changed his world. Yet how can anyone protect the public when all the powers that be want to do is cover it up, and everyone’s loyalty is in question…?
Yatsuda launched the manga on Kodansha‘s web publication Getsu Maga Kichi (Monthly Magazine Base) in February 2025. Kodansha published the manga’s first compiled book volume in June 2025 and the third volume on April 16.
Yatsuda’s The Yakuza’s Bias (Yakuza no Oshigoto) manga launched on pixiv‘s digital manga service comic POOL in June 2021. Ichijinsha published the manga’s second compiled book volume in July 2022. Kodansha USA licensed the manga and published the second volume in English in August 2023.

I’d like to kick this off with an ode to Aya’s roommate. She obviously doesn’t realize that her beloved roomie is a fighting game fiend and doing secret, late-night locales with some of her fellow schoolmates, including Mio—and that furthermore, they’re all going to EVO Japan to bask in the thrill of competition. What she believes is that Mio and Aya are in a secret relationship with one another, and are setting off on a secret, romantic getaway. And not only is she cool about it, but she’s also thrilled and supportive of them! What an excellent roomie. Shout out to Aya’s roomie, what a good one.
This week was mostly about the girls getting to EVO Japan—and in particular, getting permission from Mio’s mom, who they had to trick into thinking this was just an ordinary tourist trip to Tokyo with friends. And what a scene that was, by the way! I’m sure it hits especially hard and is relatable to anyone who grew up in strict households. And in that sense, despite the show trying to play the whole thing off comedically (when Akuma appeared, I lost my mind—that was really funny), I couldn’t help but feel like this was a sad scene. Mio’s going to have to keep such a big part of her life a secret, navigate all the difficulty that comes with that, and do it for no good reason. Meanwhile, Mio’s mom isn’t helping her; all she’s doing is dooming herself to a fractured relationship with her daughter—if they still have one left to salvage at all. I’m sure by series end, Mio’s mom will realize that Mio found community through games and that her love of games isn’t harmful, but for the time being, she comes off as tone deaf and frustrating, to say the least.
Actually, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a biting sadness underpinning otherwise funny or exciting scenes in this series. It’s sad that the girls have to be so secretive about their love of fighting games around school. And it’s sad that Aya doesn’t think fighting games are proper behavior for a young lady, and that society has conditioned her to think that way in the first place. All this does is highlight the girls’ efforts, and how badly they want to play fighting games with one another—to say nothing of the friendship-and-community-building power of fighting games.
In any case, eternally bewildered as I am at the idea that with so little time out from the event the girls could still make their way to EVO Japan all the same, they’ve made it there nonetheless. More importantly, a Guile player seems to have entered the chat at long last. We haven’t really seen the girls need to confront a zoner—let alone Guile, in particular—which, for those unfamiliar with fighting games, is a more distance-based kind of character. While characters like Ryu, for example, have moves (EX: Hadoken) that have some distance to them, characters like Guile thrive in the distance. Suffice to say, it’ll certainly give them some trouble adapting, and I’m really excited to see how they respond to it. Even if this week’s episode was more about setting the stage for next week, I’m super excited all the same.

Manga’s final chapter publishes in October

The September issue of Akita Shoten‘s Monthly Princess magazine announced on Thursday that writer Saiko Wadori and artist Mika Kajiyama‘s His Majesty the Demon King’s Housekeeper (Maō Heika no Osōji-gakari) manga will end in its next chapter in the magazine’s November issue in October.
Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the manga in English and describes the story:
Sakura loves when everything is neat, clean, and in its place. She’s on the school Beautification Committee and spends every spare moment mopping or dusting to keep things tidy and perfect. When Sakura is transported to a fantasy world, she’s immediately flabbergasted by how dirty everything is! The land is under a curse which prohibits cleaning magic, and the residents have really let things go. Even the demon king’s castle is a complete mess. Sakura isn’t going to stand for it. She’ll put this kingdom in order, even if it means working directly with the intimidatingly attractive demon king himself!
Wadori and Kajiyama debuted the manga in Monthly Princess magazine in February 2019. Akita Shoten published the manga’s 13th compiled book volume on April 16.
