Manga 'Nanatsu no Taizai' Ends Seven-Year Serialization

The 16th issue of Weekly Shounen Magazine of 2020 announced on Wednesday that Nakaba Suzuki's Nanatsu no Taizai (The Seven Deadly Sins) manga series will conclude in the next issue. The manga will end its seven and a half year run in the 17th issue on March 25.

Suzuki began serializing the adventure fantasy manga in Weekly Shounen Magazine in October 2012. Kodansha published the 40th and latest volume (pictured) on February 17. Nanatsu no Taizai has a cumulative 33 million copies of its compiled volumes in print.

A-1 Pictures adapted the manga into a 24-episode television anime in Fall 2014, which was followed by a four-episode television special titled Nanatsu no Taizai: Seisen no Shirushi (The Seven Deadly Sins: Signs of Holy War) in Summer 2016. The second television anime season, Nanatsu no Taizai: Imashime no Fukkatsu (The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of the Commandments), premiered in Winter 2018.

The Nanatsu no Taizai: Tenkuu no Torawarebito (The Seven Deadly Sins: Prisoners of the Sky) anime film opened in Japan in August 2018. Nanatsu no Taizai: Kamigami no Gekirin (The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods), the third season produced by Studio Deen, began airing in Fall 2019.

Netflix acquired exclusive streaming rights for the anime and released each broadcast installment after they had finished airing. Funimation licensed the anime for home video release and shipped first anime season in two Blu-ray and DVD volumes in May and June 2017.

Kodansha Comics licensed the manga in English in 2013 and published the 37th volume on March 24.
