The end is near for Masahiro Anbe’s Shinryaku! Ika Musume, AKA Squid Girl,comedy manga, which has been running in Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shonen Champion since 2007. Earlier today the magazine confirmed that the next volume will be the last, so that means the series will officially close with volume 22.
Volume 21 just hit Japanese stores this week. The series has inspired two anime adaptations, both by Diomedea, in 2010 and 2011. Anbe commented on the approaching ending on Twitter, saying, “Though I have so many things to say, I have to finish everything properly first.”
