The official Twitter of Keigo Maki's Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san (Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie) manga announced on Wednesday that it will end with the 20th volume. The 19th and 20th volumes are set to release on April 7.

Maki originally posted the romantic comedy on Twitter in September 2018 before serializing it on Kodansha's Magazine pocket website and app the following February. The 17th and 18th volumes were shipped on February 9. The manga has a cumulative 4.3 million copies in circulation.

Kodansha USA licensed the manga in English in March 2020 and released the 11th volume in December 2022.

A 12-episode television anime adaptation by Doga Kobo aired in Spring 2022. Crunchyroll simulcast the anime worldwide, excluding Asia.

Synopsis
Yuu Izumi is a high school student whose life is filled with misfortune. Ever since he was young, he would always return home with injuries. Due to his unlucky disposition, his days are full of nothing but unfortunate events—that is, until he started dating Micchon Shikimori.

One can describe Shikimori as the perfect girlfriend: cute, adorable, and unbelievably in love with Izumi. However, she is occasionally not so charming; instead, she becomes the coolest girlfriend in the scariest way possible! Her demanding presence and earnest concern for Izumi's wellbeing never ceases to take his breath away. With the cute yet cool Shikimori now by Izumi's side, his luckless days are over, bringing a life full of happiness and warmth. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Looking forward to watching it again (I didn't drop it). Shikimori is the type of escapism I prefer. Sad that the manga will end, but I'm aware it has been a good ride for fans.

Very small amounts that don't last long I recommend reading the manga over the anime because the anime kind of skipped a lot of the set-up of the pairs dynamic

And why was it still ongoing anyways, as story didn't feel like something that could've lasted over 50 chapters.

Going through the last 2 years of high school with tests, school events, and a fun friend group and a cute main couple people just enjoyed the ride for a feel good series especially since life has been in the crapper for just about everyone the last 5 years

Well, all good things come to an end. Maybe we'll get a season 2 announcement soon? I really loved the anime adaptation and am hoping for a continuation. Maybe one that tells the entire manga's story.

Because people liked it? And who says it can't last over 50 chapters? Did you even bother to read it? similar manga like Komi-san have far more chapters than Shikimori.

I'm surprised it lasted that long. I dropped it after 19 chapters long time ago and still feel repugnance. As far as I remember, both main characters were really off putting, just in different ways. Wonder if it got axed like Kubo.

kubo didn't get axed please don't spread misinformation kubo simply doesn't have any subplots to keep it going after the main characters get together.

Don't mind this misinformed idiot who believes that Kubo, a manga which surpassed one million copies in circulation years before receiving anime, got axed, lol.

First of all, there's no such thing as misinformation. Something is either true or false. Second of all, seeing where the plot is and how much filler got shoved in recent arcs, it doesn't look like it reached the ending naturally but got terminated. Doesn't really matter if publisher axed it or the author ran out of ideas.

Season 2, please? Definitely want to see the completion of this series in anime format, if possible.

And what you're saying is objectively false the series is heading towards a natural conclusion and doesn't need to be longer
