Mangaka Ryuta Amazume is wrapping up his romance series Sefure, with the final chapter set to run in Shōnengahōsha's Young King magazine on July 27. The announcement came through the magazine's 15th issue on Wednesday, marking the end of the seven-year serialization that began in March 2019.

Sefure centers on two characters in a "friends with benefits" arrangement that gradually deepens into something more meaningful. The manga explores how casual physical attraction can transform into real emotional connection—a premise that's resonated with readers throughout its run. The series has accumulated 11 compiled volumes, with the final collection having shipped on May 2.

This conclusion comes as Amazume continues an active publishing schedule. Earlier this year, he wrapped up Jofū, another of his serializations, which ended in March 2025 after a four-year run. He also recently finished Omae no Kao wo Tashikametai (Let Me See That Look on Your Face), a shorter series that ran on Kodansha's YanMaga Web platform.

Amazume remains best known for his long-running series Nana to Kaoru, which originally serialized from 2008 to 2016 in Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine. That romance-focused manga inspired an OVA adaptation and two live-action films, establishing Amazume's reputation for character-driven stories that balance humor with genuine emotion. The series also spawned multiple spinoffs, including the High School-era comedy Nana to Kaoru: Kōkōsei no SM Gokko.

With Sefure's conclusion, Amazume's recent output shows a pattern of completing projects after substantial runs rather than extending series indefinitely. Whether he'll move on to new serializations or take a creative break remains to be seen, but his consistent output over the years demonstrates his commitment to finishing what he starts.

Fans interested in reading Sefure should grab the final volume alongside the previous 10 to experience the complete arc as it concludes later this month.
