Seinen rom-com Wotakoi : Love is Hard for Otaku has announced the manga will be ending with its final chapter on July 16th, alongside the release of its third Original Anime Disc.

According to Anime News Network, the manga has announced that it will be concluding its run with chapter 60, though no details have been given as to how that works in the plot.

Similarly, the manga’s final volume will ship October 14th, and will include the third Original Anime Disc adapting the Company Trip arc from the manga which sees the four protagonists go on a company trip together.

It’s no surprise that Wotakoi is ending, given its fairly grounded setting. As a manga about working adults falling in love, it’s quite immune to the regular time-extending shenanigans as even its secondary protagonists ahve gotten married.

Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku revolves around Hirotaka and Narumi, two childhood best friends who start dating after being reunited at their jobs. The manga focuses heavily on typical Otaku culture, even highlighting the different types such as the Boys-Love-Genre infatuated Narumi, the obsessive gamer Hirotaka as well as the cosplay-focuse Koyanagi and the more casual-but-trying-to-keep-it-hidden Kabakura.

The manga received an anime adaptation in 2018, as well as a live-action movie in 2020. The manga has also been officially translated in English, which you can get via Amazon.

Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku Manga Gets Spinoff After Finale

posted on 2021-07-17 11:00 AEST by Egan Loo

Main manga ended on Friday after running for over 6 years


Fujita's Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku (Otaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii) manga is inspiring a spinoff that will appear in pixiv's digital manga service comic Pool. The staff will announce more details later. The main manga ended on Friday after running for over six years, and Ichijinsha is commemorating the upcoming release of the manga's final volume with three commercials:



Kodansha Comics is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:

Narumi Momose has had it rough: every boyfriend she's had dumped her once they found out she was an otaku, so she's gone to great lengths to hide it. When a chance meeting at her new job with childhood friend, fellow otaku, and now coworker Hirotaka Nifuji almost gets her secret outed at work, she comes up with a plan to make sure he never speaks up. But he comes up with a counter-proposal: why doesn't she just date him instead? In love, there are no save points.

Fujita launched the manga on the image sharing website pixiv in 2014. In November 2015, the manga moved to Ichijinsha's Comic POOL digital manga magazine. Ichijinsha published the manga's 10th volume on February 26. Kodansha Comics released the fourth omnibus volume for the manga in July 2020, and will publish the fifth volume on September 21.

The main manga ended after 60 chapters, and its 11th and final compiled book volume will ship on October 14. The special edition of that final volume will bundle the manga's third original anime disc with an episode based on the "Company Outing" story from the manga's sixth volume:

The manga has over 12 million copies in circulation, including print and digital.

The manga inspired an 11-episode television anime that premiered in April 2018. The anime streamed on Amazon Prime Video inside and outside of Japan. The first original anime disc for the manga shipped with the manga's seventh volume in March 2019. The second original anime disc shipped with the 10th volume of Fujita's Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku (Otaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii) manga on February 26.

A live-action film adaptation of the manga opened in Japan in February 2020. The film debuted at #1 in its opening weekend.
