And I heard the manga is also ending too?

The author mentioned that the release of volume 5 would be the month of February 2014. Please confirm, I translated with Google.

EDIT

rumors that have 5 volumes are rooted in the present state of the manga and discussions in other forums

Greetings.

I will believe the manga is ending when I read the "next month contains the final chapter" words written on the last page of Pupa in a current issue of Earth Star. Or worse, the surprise "this final chapter is over" which has happened before without prior warning.

That tweet just says there are 4 volumes out now and the 5th one is coming out in February.

I see nothing on the official site or Earth Star twitter to indicate that Pupa is ending.

I can't decide if that's worse, or getting shorts.

if the manga really is ending, then that would explain why the anime was delayed, the decided to do the entire story in one go~

but that's only if that rumor is true

Somehow I missed that tweet on the 12th...

Too bad, I guess they'd planned on ending both manga and anime in December.

My speculation that "pupa" will not be a 5-minute anime because of the manga...

We all know that "pupa" manga has now 4 volumes released and the final volume will be released next year on February and the anime has been pushed back to January of next year.

"Pupa" manga volume 1 has 7 chapters in it and many in the internet speculated that the manga has barely around 10 chapters.... but that's wrong (Maybe? Remember... this is only a speculation)

As I tried to get sources, I landed on Amazon and checked the number of pages per volume and this is what I saw:

Volume 1 - 235 Pages
Volume 2 - Not listed on the website
Volume 2 - 269 Pages
Volume 4 - 216 Pages

All of the volumes except Volume 2 (which has no listed number of pages), has almost the same number of pages ranging from 216 - 269 pages, so that means, per volume it has around 6 - 8 chapters, so if you total them all, you will get a range of 26 - 30 chapters. And if you also add the 5th and last volume you will have 35 chapters (this number of chapters... I have found them but I forgot the website where I found it.. or maybe in a promotional video of "pupa")

And if you convert those manga chapters into anime, it is possible to have a 24-minute 12 episodes... or maybe, even a 2-cour (22 - 26 episodes) anime.

I don't know about Studio Deen if they will be going to adapt the whole manga sries or only a partial cover of the series.

So I speculated that "pupa" anime is NOT a 5-minute anime...

Sources:
Amazon Japan
Manga Websites
Some Japanese websites

EDIT: This is the number of chapters per volume...

Volume 1 - Chapters 1 - 7
Volume 2 - Chapters 8 - 14

Chapters per volume is depicted in the raw scans of the first and second volume..... The raw scans for third and fourth volume is still not found... I'm trying to find them as soon as possible...

It's a shame it's being delayed until January, I hope it's going to be worth the wait. But, this is still better than 5 minute shorts.

That figures. They might as well just go the extra mile and have it delayed until the next fall season--really, if it's a horror anime, why not have it air in time for Halloween? Just saying.

But since I'm not tearing my hair out over this, I'm not going to complain.

Now it has to compete with Space Dandy as my favorite anime of the season.

Of course, it'll lose by default if it does, in fact, end up being shorts. Sure wish we got more horror and scifi each season and less moeshit.

Well, actually it does exist there, mainly because of observing america. Wearing costumes and all the festivities of Halloween are becoming more and more popular.

I'm getting the impression that this anime isn't going to have anything notable about it beyond shock factor.

Let's hope I'm wrong.

I was so excited to watch this and turned out to be the worst anime I've seen so far. There's an episode where the sister calls her brother from the beginning to the end of it. I hated it. =(
