The end has come for Masaaki Kiasa’s Combatants Will Be Dispatched! manga, which adapts the light novel series by Natsume Akatsuki. The final chapter made its debut in the May issue of Kadokawa’s Monthly Comic Alive magazine, which hit shelves in Japan this week.
The first novel in the series—featuring illustrations by Kakao Lanthanum—launched back in November 2017, with Kiasa’s manga adaptation following in March 2018. The 12th collected volume is set to ship in Japan on May 23, 2024, and Yen Press publishes both the original novels and the manga in English.
Synopsis:
After a career spent slapping down superheroes as an evil minion of the Kisaragi Corporation, Agent Six has his next assignment—invade a fantasy world! With his pluck new partner, the “pretty-girl android” Alice, Agent Six sets out to bring his target planet to heel. What better way to accomplish that than by partnering with the locals?! Alongside Royal Guard Captain Snow, Battle Chimera Rose, and Archbishop Grimm, Alice and Six will square off against demon hordes—even if it’s just a means of taking down the competition! Let the battle to be baddest begin!
Combatants Will Be Dispatched! previously inspired an anime adaptation that kicked off its broadcast in April 2021.
Natsume Akatsuki is also known as the author of the KONOSUBA – God’s blessing on this wonderful world! novels.
