| If they dont get together im gonna fucking kill someone. Though i have to say this is probably the creator ending it on his own accord, this isnt the trype of series that can go on that long because kaori's amnesia will simply become too contrived and dragged out considering the amount of progress its come so far. Though does anyone know if there would be enough material for a 2nd seaosn, I know thats probably not gonna happen cause A: brains base and B: there probably isnt enough, but still. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I doubt you can turn 1 or 2 volumes into a full season. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Let's see if they gonna decide to make a second season of it. |
| Rather than a new season, I'd be fine with a couple of OVAs instead so they wouldn't have to add unnecessary fillers. |
 |
| Yes please at least a OVA to finish it off ;_; |

Theoretically, yes, but in practice, there's very little evidence to support this. Visible boosts are just as common for manga that end less than 1 year after the anime as they are for manga that end more then 2 years after the anime. In general, if a series doesn't run in a weekly shonen mag with million-plus circulation numbers and is popular enough to warrant an anime, it's popular enough to continue regardless of how much of a boost the anime provides. Provided the author wants to do so, of course. |

I lost count over the number of manga that ended shortly after their anime in the last two to three years. The anime did not have bad sales, so its unrelated. I'm pretty sure the story is just done. @Amiluhur Unless it airs in winter, I doubt it will happen. A manga series that have finished publishing and that already have an anime adaptation, very rarely, if ever, get another tv season. SweetCoconut said: So it means, there's a hope for Season 2? It only lowers them. Actually, if they see a bump in the sales of the current volume, they might do season 2 in order to try to get a similar bump in sales for the final volume... |

| I'm more bummed that I have to wait 8 months between Volume 6 coming out today and Volume 7 in April. I might just start buying the magazines to read it now. |
| ;___; Shougo x Saki OTP, pls make it happen :c |

| Not familiar with it, but it's got "friends" in the title, so why not? XD |

| Finally. Now I can pick it back up. |
 |
| Scanlations please. Movie please. |
 |
| I bet they'll go for an ambiguous friendship ending. |
 |
| How bittersweet. I was planning on reading, and while I would love to see a conclusive ending, I don't know if I will like the manga enough and be sad it ended. Can't wait to read it. |
 |
| I wonder if it'll take 12 or 24 episodes to cover the rest of the manga |

Personally I think it is VERY unlikely that there will be another season, but they may well produce an OVA for the final volume. |

| I like the manga more than the anime (though it was enjoyable too of course and what got me into this series), hopefully the scans catch up before then to the material it didn't cover. |

Do you have proof that Mangirl was specifically cancelled, like an author comment or something? I didn't say that manga *never* get cancelled, just that a series ending soon after the anime is not generally sufficient proof that a given series was forced to end by the publisher. There are many series that do well and also see the manga end soon after the anime, ala Joshiraku or Usagi Drop, and those that did poorly by all available measures but are still running, ala Hyouge Mono or Hen Zemi. |

| It's also highly possible that it's the other way round - that the anime adaptation occurs when it does because the series is nearing its end. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| getting ready to start reading probably after watching the anime too |

Yes. Mangirl was cancelled. The mangaka currently does not have any serialization underway. |

Not everybody who chooses to end a series immediately starts working on their next publication. Gakuen Alice (which regularly made the charts at 100k+) finished a year ago, just before Mangirl, and Higuchi Tachibana still hasn't published anything since. Hiroyuki Takei had a 2-year gap between the end of Shaman King in 2004 and the start of Jumbor in 2007. |

I can't find the source right now but an English fan discussed with the mangaka on the mangaka's pixvid account about how much the mangaka got from the anime (which was a pittance) and about their disappointment of the manga getting axed. Yes it's true that anime sales on their own won't get a series axed, and there are plenty of examples of low sales anime continuing in manga form, especially for more niche titles. Of course because we are all outsiders we can't see the income streams and each publisher is different, but when a business invests in a product and does not see any return (in manga volume sales) then it's not unexpected to see that investment terminated. |

| Might you be referring to this? http://www.someanithing.com/1108/comment-page-1#comment-1036 What's being said there is that the mangaka was asked about whether the manga was cancelled and she gave a "no comment" answer. I agree that there's definitely a point of poor manga sales which would justify a publisher cancelling a series (and Mangirl *may* have hit it, we just don't have confirmation that it did). But, as you said, that varies heavily based on the publisher, author, magazine, and series involved. I'm just not a fan of making assumptions regarding what that point was and whether or not a given series hit it, given the large number of unknowns typically present and counterrexamples typically available. |

| As far as I know, the ending of the manga has nothing to do with the success or non-success of the anime adaptation. There has been speculation even before this announcement that the manga will end on volume 7 as it matches the number of days in a week, further emphasizing the title of the work. |

Yeah sorry we were getting OT as the manga in question was not Issuukan Friends. I'm sure in this case the author and publisher had it planned, and in particular the anime was planned to be 1 cour only to pump the manga sales into the following year. |

| Hoping things will be finished by doing an OVAS or at least a movie (unlikely) I dont like the ending the anime, they should be a couple instead of being friendzoned and friendzoning >.> |
 |
| I'm not interrested with this manga for my part :c |
| J'ai toujours eu ce sentiment un peu étrange d'être comme extérieur à mon corps. Cette impression de flotter quelque part au dessus, ou d'être dans une salle de cinéma, assis au fond, en train de regarder un long film interminable et à attendre que quelque chose se passe. Cette impression de lutter pour devoir rester éveillé, cette envie d'attraper le personnage principal pour lui dire de se bouger, sans cependant pouvoir rien faire sans briser l'écran. |
| Alright, if this story seriously goes the friendship route I'm gonna fly to Japan myself and punch the author straight in the face. Halfway through volume 6 and I honestly don't see this ending with friendship. Click if you want. |
| Sadly all good things must come to an end! |
