A scan from the November issue of Kodansha's Kiss magazine revealed that Akiko Higashimura's manga Kuragehime is heading toward its conclusion. The series resumed in July after being on a hiatus since October of last year.

Written and illustrated by Akiko Higashimura, the series has been serialized in Kiss magazine since 2008. It received an 11-episode TV anime adaptation by Brain's Base in 2010, as well as a live-action movie in 2014. The series also received a two-chapter manga prequel, both featured in last year's November and December issues. The manga won the shoujo category award in the 34th Kodansha Manga Awards in 2010. There are currently fifteen volumes in print.

Kodansha Comics USA has currently licensed 12 volumes of the manga for North American release, with the first two omnibus editions, containing two volumes each, to be released in February 2016. FUNimation Entertainment simulcasted the series in North America and released Blu-ray and DVDs of the anime adaptation on February 28, 2012.

I was only a few minutes ago checking the publishing status here thinking that I could start reading it and was slightly disappointed that it was still ongoing; I guess my timing is perfect~ ヽ(´ー`)ノ

The anime was so good, definitely one of my favourites.

I think i need to catch up to see how things will end but i'm a bad manga reader so i don't know when i'm going to read it.

I loved the anime adaptation, but I've never read the manga before, I wasn't aware it was even still on-going. I don't really feel anything in particular about its ending either, though I do prefer a manga series to "end". There's some series that haven't had any new chapters in years, but they're supposedly still publishing.

I loved the anime, it was really cute and the characters were all lovable buuuuut I still need to read the manga. A second season would be nice BTW but I don't really think Brain's Base will ever make it.

You're probably right, Brains Base has a habit of passing of sequel seasons to other studios.

Yeah, I know (。•́︿•̀。) but it would be pretty nice if another studio were to make a second Kuragehime season like P.A Works or even Madhouse (even if Kuragehime is not really their style)

Finally. I've been meaning to read the manga ever since I watched the anime, but didn't pick it up because it looked like the ending was nowhere in sight. I don't have the patience to wait around for months and years for a manga to end.

This anime/manga isn't the type to generate a lot of popularity because it targets a niche audience.

Sadly, the best anime/manga are always underrated, so yeah, a second season would be almost impossible. Why must this always happen?...
