Hatenkou Yugi/Dazzle Manga Planned to End With 22nd Volume
posted on by Karen Ressler
Manga artist Minari Endo announced on Twitter on Friday that the final arc of her Hatenkō Yūgi manga is planned for three volumes. The second-to-last arc ended in the 19th volume on November 25, so the series is projected to have 22 volumes total.
The final arc will launch in the February issue of Ichijinsha's Monthly Comic Zero-Sum magazine on December 28.
Endo (Maria Holic) began the manga in 1999, and it has taken several hiatuses in recent years. Tokyopop published part of the manga in English as Dazzle.
In Hatenkō Yūgi's story, the young teen Rahzel Anadis meets the handsome albino man Alzeid, who only cares about avenging his father's death. After Rahzel swears to him to make his life more fun and meet with their companion Baroqueheat the playboy, the three encounter secrets and mysteries that change their lives forever. Not even the travelers themselves know who they truly are.
A 10-episode anime adaptation aired in Japan in 2008. Sentai Filmworks released the anime in a complete DVD collection in July 2016.
