After kicking off its final arc earlier this year, the end is nearly upon us for Yuu Watase’s Arata: The Legend manga. As revealed in the 331st chapter, the series has just four chapters remaining.
Yuu Watase first started serializing Arata: The Legend in the pages of Weekly Shonen Sunday in 2008. May 2021 marked the manga’s return from a hiatus that first began in 2015. The following May saw the series move to Shogakukan’s Sunday Webry site.
Arata previously inspired a TV anime adaptation in 2013. Crunchyroll streamed the anime and VIZ Media publishes the manga, describing the series like so:
In a mythical world where humans and gods co-exist, Arata has the unfortunate honor of being the successor to the matriarchal Hime Clan. This means he has to pretend to be a girl or face death if his true gender is discovered! On the day of his inauguration, an assassination plot forces him to flee – and he somehow winds up in modern-day Japan! Meanwhile, a boy named Arata Hinohara gets sucked into the first Arata’s world and finds himself dealing with people after his life!
