Kaworu Watashiya: Kodomo no Jikan Manga to End Soon
posted on by Egan Loo
Manga creator Kaworu Watashiya confirmed on Thursday that her Kodomo no Jikan comedy manga will end soon. However, she also noted that it will not end in the January issue of Futabasha's Comic High! magazine on December 22. The manga follows the antics of girls in a hapless teacher's elementary school class.
Watashiya launched the manga series in Comic High! in 2005 after a one-shot version ran in 2004, and Futabasha published the 12th book volume this past September. The manga inspired a television series in 2007, and it was followed by manga-bundled original anime DVDs and a video anime series. North American publisher Seven Seas Entertainment had licensed the manga under the name Nymphet, but canceled its plans due to content.
