Shinobu Inokuma and TABIKO’s romantic-comedy manga Get Married So I Can Curse Your Firstborn and Finally Be Free! (7-dai Tatarimasu node Hayaku Kekkon Shite Kudasai!) is racing toward its conclusion: the latest magazine notice reveals the series will end in just two chapters. What began as a charmingly bizarre premise about a downtrodden feline deity has grown into a memorable rom-com with supernatural stakes, and now readers are preparing for a bittersweet finish. Below, we break down what the announcement means, revisit the series’ strengths, and look ahead to what fans can expect from the final chapters.

Quick recap: the premise and where the story stands
At its heart, the series follows Kuro, a black cat who used to be a god of fortune. Stripped of her former status and labeled a “vengeful god,” Kuro must curse seven generations of the Nishikori bloodline to lift her punishment and regain her previous station. That task hinges on ensuring the seventh generation of the Nishikori family is born—meaning she needs to secure a marriage for Nishikori Kotaro. The comedic friction comes from Kotaro’s unexpected unpopularity, his awkwardness with romance, and the twist that the only person he openly desires is Kuro, the cat-god with feline ears.
Publication history and the announcement
The manga first debuted in Monthly Spirits in November 2023, attracting readers with its blend of absurd supernatural rules and tender romantic beats. According to the latest report published in the April issue of Monthly Spirits, the series will wrap up in two chapters. Shogakukan compiled the manga’s third tankōbon volume in August 2025, and with the magazine notice now pointing to a close, readers should expect the final collected volume(s) to follow after the concluding chapters are published.
Characters to watch in the final chapters
Kuro — the reluctant vengeful god
Kuro’s arc has always been the emotional center: a deity forced into morally grey actions in order to reclaim her place. The endgame will likely explore whether Kuro can reconcile her original nature as a fortune god with the consequences her curse has caused, and whether she chooses personal freedom over the human connections she’s made.
Nishikori Kotaro — the unlucky groom-to-be
Kotaro’s growth from an unpopular, awkward youth into someone capable of love (and self-sacrifice) is central to the story’s emotional payoff. The final chapters will probably reveal whether Kotaro can accept the strange circumstances of his life and step into a future that involves marriage—either as a practical necessity or out of genuine affection.
Themes and tone: what made the series work
Get Married So I Can Curse Your Firstborn and Finally Be Free! balances whimsical rules-based fantasy with grounded romantic development. The series excels at:
- Character-driven comedy — many jokes stem from Kuro and Kotaro’s personalities rather than pure gag setups.
- Unconventional stakes — the curse premise reframes typical rom-com goals into supernatural tasks that feel fresh.
- Warmth beneath the absurdity — even as the plot leans into oddball situations, the emotional connections feel earned.
What fans should expect from the finale
With only two chapters left, pacing will be crucial. The creators will need to resolve Kuro’s curse mechanics, Kotaro’s relationship decisions, and any lingering subplots without rushing emotional beats. Possible outcomes include a bittersweet resolution in which freedom comes with sacrifice, a comedic yet sincere marriage finale, or a more open-ended ending that emphasizes growth over tidy conclusions.
Potential emotional payoffs
Readers can reasonably hope for:
- A clear resolution of the curse’s conditions and consequences.
- Personal growth for Kotaro that allows him to choose his own path rather than being driven purely by fate.
- A final, meaningful moment between Kuro and Kotaro that encapsulates the series’ blend of comedy and heart.
Where to catch up and further reading
If you’re behind, official compiled volumes are the best way to support the creators. The series’ collected volumes have been available through standard retailers; for example, the series listing can be found via major booksellers. One retailer listing is available for reference.
Fan reaction and community expectations
Social chatter has emphasized both excitement and a touch of sadness: fans are eager to see how the creators tie up loose ends but will miss the series’ quirky voice. Speculation threads are focusing on whether the final chapters will prioritize comedy, romance, or a bittersweet balance; in either case, many readers hope for an ending that honors the emotional growth established across the volumes.
Why this ending matters
Short runs can be an opportunity for tight, well-paced storytelling, and a two-chapter conclusion forces focus. Done well, this finale can cement the manga as a memorable, concise romance that didn’t overstay its welcome—a format that often leaves a stronger lasting impression than a series that runs on without a clear endpoint.
Final thoughts
Get Married So I Can Curse Your Firstborn and Finally Be Free! has built a charming niche by pairing supernatural rules with heartfelt romantic development. With the announcement that the series will end in two chapters, readers should prepare for a concentrated resolution that aims to deliver emotional clarity and a satisfying conclusion to Kuro and Kotaro’s unusual journey. Whether the finale is a tearful goodbye, a joyful union, or a bittersweet compromise, it will be the final chapter in a story that carved out a unique space in recent rom-com manga. Stay tuned for those closing installments—and if you’re behind, now’s a great time to catch up and appreciate how the series set its stakes from the very beginning.
