Maid-sama Manga's End Tentatively Aimed for This Year
posted on by Karen Ressler
Maid Sama! manga artist Hiro Fujiwara indicated in a Twitter post last Wednesday that the series would be coming to a close this year, although the official announcement has not been made yet. LaLa Magazine also published the beginning of the series' final arc on Wednesday.
Fujiwara launched the manga in 2006, and Hakusensha published the 16th compiled book volume in Japan in February. The series centers on a high school student council president who secretly works at a maid café.
Tokyopop published eight volumes of the manga before the company shut down its North American publishing division in 2011.
Fujiwara's manga inspired a 26-episiode television anime series from J.C. Staff in 2010, and Sentai Filmworks released the series on DVD in North America.
