August 10 marks the ship date for the 13th volume of Tsukasa Fushimi and Hiro Kanzaki’s Eromanga Sensei light novels, and it turns out this one will be the last. Publisher Kadokawa released a listing for the 13th volume, titled “Eromanga Festival,” that describes it as the final installment.
Volume 12 shipped in Japan back in November 2019.
The Eromanga Sensei novels first started their run in 2013, and Fushimi previously partnered with illustrator Kanzaki on the Oreimo series. Dark Horse Comics publishes the manga adaptation of Eromanga Sensei by rin, describing the story like so:
Writing light novels isn’t all that easy, especially when you’re in high school…and you have to do the cooking and the chores for your shut-in stepsister who’s hardly come out of her room the past year! In the light novel business, it’s crucial to have the right person illustrating your books to help them sell–and maybe get made into manga and anime! But in a world of online pen names, the author and the illustrator may still not even know each other…until one day they realize they’ve been living in the same house all along! Now the home life of confident writer Masamune Izumi and his reclusive sister Sagiri–aka the artist “Eromanga Sensei”–will be a drama to compare with their rising careers, their restive fan base, and their rivals in the industry!
