Official announcement: how the news broke
The series’ creator, Shigure Tokita, confirmed the decision directly on X (formerly Twitter), notifying readers that the manga will end in the upcoming chapter. The short, direct notice from the author gives a clear timeline: readers should expect one more chapter before the story finishes its run.
About No Gyaru in This Class — premise and tone
Mirei, a diligent honor student, longs for the flashy, fashionable ‘gyaru’ lifestyle she admires in manga. With newfound courage, she decides to give herself a makeover and reinvent her image upon entering high school. There, she meets Yushin, a rough-around-the-edges boy, and… they hit it off?! Shigure Tokita, the author of “Don’t Blush, Sekime-san!,” presents a classroom comedy that unfolds around this fateful encounter!
The series blends slice-of-life, school romcom beats, and the lighthearted “gyaru” makeover trope — a formula that emphasizes character growth, comedic misunderstandings, and the contrast between appearance and personality. Tokita’s comedic timing and expressive art have been central to the series’ appeal, making it a quick favorite among readers who enjoy short, character-driven romantic comedies.
Publication history: platform and volumes
Tokita launched No Gyaru in This Class on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ and on the MANGA Plus platform in September 2024. The series followed Shigure Tokita’s established pattern of digital-first publishing, reaching readers worldwide through Shueisha’s online channels. Shueisha also collected chapters into tankōbon volumes, with the third compiled volume shipped on January 5.
Tokita previously completed Don’t Blush, Sekime-san! in April 2022, demonstrating a track record of compact, well-paced comedy manga runs. That earlier work earned Tokita a committed readership and helped build anticipation for subsequent releases.
Why manga reach their end: common factors
Manga conclude for many reasons, and the end of a series — especially a short-form comedy like No Gyaru in This Class — can reflect creative, editorial, and commercial realities. Typical reasons include:
- Creative completion: the author reaches the story’s planned ending and chooses to wrap it up on their own terms;
- Editorial decisions: publishers and editorial teams may steer series lengths to match readership and scheduling needs;
- Sales and engagement: collected volume sales, digital readership, and engagement metrics can influence how long a series runs;
- Author schedule and future projects: manga creators often end a current work to begin a new one or to take a break.
For Tokita’s style — concise, comedic school stories — a relatively short, polished run lets the core premise breathe without overstaying its welcome. Regardless of the reason, a planned ending often produces a more satisfying final arc than an unplanned cancellation.
What fans can expect as the series wraps
The final chapter is likely to focus on resolving the primary relationship beats and delivering the emotional or comedic payoff readers have been anticipating. In romcoms and school comedies, endings typically aim to:
- Solidify character growth (Mirei’s confidence and sense of self, for example);
- Resolve romantic tension or misunderstandings between leads;
- Provide a memorable, concise finale that honors the series’ tone.
Collectors will want to watch for announcements about any special final-volume editions, bonus chapters, or compiled extras. If you’re following the series digitally, the final chapter will also be posted on the original platforms where it began.
