Kyowno's The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls U149 manga revealed in the latest chapter on Cygames' Cycomi platform on Friday that the series will end in the next chapter on November 9.
The manga centers around girls under 149 centimeters tall (under about 4-feet, 11-inches) who aspire to be idols despite not having a producer or gigs. However, maybe with a marvelous dress, a marvelous stage, and a marvelous prince ... The new Cinderella story follows these small idols and their small rookie producer.
The series received a television anime adaptation in April 2023. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired. The anime's fourth and final Blu-ray Disc also contained a new episode.
Kyowno launched the manga on Cygames' online Cycomi service in 2016. Cygames shipped the 17th compiled book volume on June 28.
The IDOLM@STER franchise began as an arcade game in 2005, with the player tasked with producing idols in a fledgling idol company, managing practice schedules, concerts, CD releases, and time off. The game was first ported to the Xbox 360 in 2007, and had a sequel game in 2011, which finalized the first 13 characters of the franchise.

The latest game in the franchise is The IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors: Song for Prism, which launched in November 2023.
