Kotoba Inoya's Runway de Waratte (Smile Down the Runway) manga will conclude in four chapters, according to a post on its official Twitter account on Wednesday.

Inoya began serializing the fashion-themed manga in Weekly Shounen Magazine in March 2017. Kodansha published the 21st volume on May 17, with the 22nd and final volume shipping on August 17. Runway de Waratte has a cumulative 3 million copies of its volumes in print.

Ezόla adapted the manga into a 12-episode television anime that aired during the Winter 2020 season. Funimation simulcast the show and subsequently streamed it with an English dub.

Kodansha Manga has published the series digitally in English since September 2019. The 19th volume will be released on July 6.

Synopsis
Chiyuki Fujito is an aspiring model whose dream is to take part in Paris Fashion Week; however, she lacks the proper height to even be considered for the simplest of modeling gigs. Similarly, Ikuto Tsumura is a poor high school student who wants to design clothes, but he has instead decided to skip college and head straight into the workforce to support his family.

When the two cross paths, they come to the conclusion that no matter how difficult it may seem, they will do what they can to achieve their goals and prove that one's circumstances do not determine their course in life. And so begin both of their journeys, destined to meet again on the runway. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Eh, I will regret it. I don't know how much the studio itself was responsible for this, but a rare title about the fashion world can be so shonen-ish

Question for those that are following this series.

Is it getting axed or is it reaching its end properly? I really liked the anime, but if the manga ends up having a bs rushed ending I would rathe rnot read it.

I don't follow the manga, so can't be sure, but the way the tweet is phrased, it sounds more like a proper ending.

Hopefully, after the manga ends, we'll get a second season of the anime.

This fundamentally goes against why most anime gets made. Unless it's some sort of pet project they're probably not going to be interested in promoting a series that's a dead end.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, nor do I care.

You're asking for a second season so you clearly care.

This was a 12 episode commercial for a manga and more than likely that's all it ever was planned to be. They're unlikely to produce more of it to promote a product that's ended when they can make different anime promoting source material that's still ongoing.

Loads of older, long completed manga have received anime adaptations.

But yet, garbage like "Banana Fish" gets an anime nearly 25 years after it ends.

The world ain't fair.

Are you going to wait 25 years?

Also it kind of falls on the licensors as well as the one who publishing the manga.

At this point I do betting for remakes instead of second season which is like in a decade or so.

I guess you could say it's 'axed with early notice' because the MCs haven't reached their goal yet if this is about to end this soon

Wow. I haven't been keeping up with this manga for more than 10 weeks and now I just found out that it's ending... :(

I guess I better catch up to the most recent chapter now.
