The November issue of Hakusensha‘s LaLa DX magazine revealed on Monday that Yuki Kure‘s Ayame-san Chi no Geshuku-nin (Ayame’s House Lodger) manga will end with its next chapter in the magazine’s next issue on December 4 (the magazine publishes a new issue every two months).

The manga’s story centers on Megumi, a high school girl who becomes the owner of an apartment complex, and she finds five handsome, quirky men as lodgers.

Kure launched the manga in LaLa DX in June 2025. Hakusensha released the manga’s first compiled book volume on April 3.

Kure launched the Kin-iro no Corda Daigakusei-hen (La Corda d’Oro College Arc) manga in LaLa DX in December 2017. 

The “Multiending Arc” launched in LaLa DX in June 2021. The new arc portrays four different parallel “endings” to the original La Corda d’Oro story with Kahoko ending up with each of the four male leads of the story: Tsuchiura, Shimizu, Yunoki, and Hihara.

The “Multiending Arc” ended in 2022, and entered its “Encore Arc” in February 2023, which depicted the epilogues of each respective ending shown in the “Multiending Arc.” Hakusensha published the manga’s eighth compiled book volume in March 2024, which contains the “Encore Arc.”

Kure’s first manga adaptation of KOEI‘s original La Corda d’Oro game ended in 2011. Viz Media published the 17-volume series in North America. Kure also drew the following manga for the franchise: Linden Hall no Aria -Kin-iro no Corda Series- (Linden Hall Aria: La Corda d’Oro Series), La Corda d’Oro Blue Sky, and La Corda d’Oro 4.

The story follows doctor Kasumi Uehara as she conducts the psychiatric examination of the serial killer behind the murders of eleven men and women in Tokyo. As details of the case come to light, so do more questions as she reveals the darkness at the heart of the case.

Futabasha published Chinen’s novel in September 2025.

Chinen and Eri Takenashi ended the Ameku Nakao no Suiri Karute – Sphere no Shitenshi (The Killer Angel Within: Ameku Takao’s Detective Karte) manga in its third compiled book volume on July 7.

The manga, based on Chinen’s Ameku Takao’s Detective Karte light novel series, launched in Good! Afternoon in September 2024. Kodansha published the manga’s first and second volumes in January and August 2025, respectively.

A television anime of the novels debuted in January 2025. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired and also streams an English dub. Crunchyroll streams the series under the title Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective.

The novels also inspired a live-action series adaptation, which debuted in April 2025. 

Shinchosha published 13 volumes of the novel series from October 2014 to September 2022. Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha has since started re-publishing the 13 previous volumes and adding three more volumes since October 2023. The novel series has over 3 million copies in cumulative circulation.
