Bloom into You creator Nio Nakatani‘s next serialized manga Kimi wa Shumatsu (You Are the End) will make its debut in the November 2025 issue of Dengeki Daioh, which will be released on September 27 JST.
The manga is a romantic comedy, but one where the heroine seems to be an incredibly powerful being. The text on an announcement page for the upcoming title teases the male protagonist (?) being at the mercy of the heroine, and says that things are not going well both in terms of romance and the world.
There’s also a play on the word sekai-kei (a loosely defined genre where you might find a central human relationship that has the power to shape the fate of the world) — aside from using kanji for the “sekai”/”world” part of the term instead of the usual katakana writing, “kai” is written with the kanji that’s associated with destruction.
Adding to the intrigue, the preview illustration for Kimi wa Shumatsu shows the heroine with an unusual right eye and her legs and left arm coming apart like slime. Some of that brown stuff is wrapped around the male character and lifting him in the air, all while the heroine rests her face and right hand on his head.
Nakatani’s previous serialized work was God Bless the Mistaken, which was set in a world with strange phenomena called bugs. God Bless the Mistaken debuted in 2021, around two years after the yuri manga Bloom Into You concluded, and released its fourth and final volume in 2024.
