The November 2019 issue of Manga Time Special announced on Saturday that Ruri Miyahara's 4-koma romantic comedy manga Love Lab will end in the magazine's December issue on October 21.

Miyahara launched the series in monthly seinen magazine Manga Home in October 2006, which also ran in other Houbunsha magazines including Comic Yell and Manga Time. The manga was transferred to Manga Time Special in 2010. Houbunsha published the 14th compiled volume in November 2018.

Doga Kobo animated the manga into a 13-episode TV anime that aired in Summer 2013. Crunchyroll streamed the show on its platform while it aired. Sentai Filmworks released a standard DVD and Blu-ray collection in August 2014.

godammit the translations are so behind on this, already 14 volumes and only ~11 have been translated

no love triangles, no pointless drama, it's essentially a more wholesome (and funnier) version of Araburu

This manga will be missed for sure. Adore it! Why are good manga are often so underrated and unpopular?

oh damn, I was just rewatching some of it again.

One of the first anime’s that certainly helped get me into watching a lot, and it’s certainly unique in that it’s one of the few CGDCTs that actually acknowledges the opposite sex. Araburu’s a recent one that captures a similar style, but with all the extra serious melodrama luggage

I enjoyed the characters antiques in the anime, don't follow the manga, if the girls get hot boyfriends all should be fine.

In all honesty Love Triangles is fine if author can make it right, not dumb as Araburu were it was pulled in last 6 episode or in manga chapter 17 onwards which is also the last 4 volume.

Idk why people said Araburu is a great drama and romcom , aside from the first half, the 2nd half is a Shitfest for sure.

Reminds me the writer is the one who made shitfest such as Nagi no Asakura and Kiznaiver which known to be shitfest of a Love Triangle.

ye but that's the problem, it's rare to find them actually well done since most of them drag on too long because of pointless misunderstandings/drama. The only ones I could think of that weren't that bad to see were ReRe Hello and Risouteki Boyfriend, only cause the main pairing handled it very maturely
