Hiroyuki's Kanojo mo Kanojo (Girlfriend, Girlfriend) manga ended with chapter 144 in this year's 25th issue of Weekly Shounen Magazine on Wednesday.

Hiroyuki began serializing the romantic comedy manga in Weekly Shounen Magazine in March 2020. Kodansha shipped the 15th volume on April 17, with the 16th and final volume scheduled to go on sale on July 14. Kodansha USA licensed the manga in English in February 2021. The 13th volume was released on April 25.

Tezuka Productions adapted the manga into a 12-episode television anime series in Summer 2021. Crunchyroll streamed the anime with subtitles and an English dub. A second season is in production for an October 2023 premiere.

Synopsis
After harboring an unrequited love for years, Naoya Mukai finally gets to date his childhood friend, Saki Saki. However, just as he tries to commit himself to this relationship, he receives an abrupt confession from Nagisa Minase.

At first, Naoya tries to reject her but is soon overcome by feelings of not wanting to hurt Nagisa. Trying to avoid betraying his girlfriend's trust in him, Naoya thinks up a "solution" to make both girls happy—two-timing. Naturally, Saki rebuffs this idea, but through Naoya's and Nagisa's persistence, she reluctantly submits.

With this, a three-way affair begins between Naoya, his girlfriend, and his "other" girlfriend, as they develop a relationship that deviates from the social norm. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Final arc was terrible. I hope Hiroyuki's next manga is just a comedy, without haremshit.

It was my greatest pleasure to enjoy this series. My favorite true harem rom-com manga. In the end, I hope Hiroyuki will come up with another banger of a manga next time. I wish the anime could have a full adaption, just to see peak of Queen Shino arc

At least Naoya got his wish in the end 🤣

why would he need to learn? kanojo mo kanojo was his most successful works that still retain similar writing style from all of his previous works.

while last 2 arc was quite rushed, i enjoy it more than i expected. well i guess i was used to this author up in the air kind of ending but kanojo mo kanojo has pretty conclusive ending. hope we get some extra epilogue volume like all of his previous works too! will definitely read author next work again! still one of my favorite comedy writer and KmK was one of funniest harem out there!

success ≠ quality of a project . I just expressed my opinion about this low quality manga , none of us forced you to have the same opinion . But if you also look at the mal manga page and specifically score which is a good indicator of some of the people's opinion

how is it low quality? even opinion need argument to back it up otherwise it's your opinion that low quality. also MAL are bad indicator for a series because MAL is just tiny fraction of english audience. the fact that you can't from your own argument and instead rely on others didn't seems convincing to me.

I am absolutely under no obligation to explain you why I don't like it or tell you why I think it is a low quality manga. End of story. If you don't like what I am saying and you are so delicate that you can't accept the fact that people can have different opinions either stop using the internet or just ignore me like a normal human being.

if you can't even explain your own opinion, then it's your opinion that low quality. just like you are free to express your opinion, i also free to give opinion to your opinion. you are the one that delicate to went full defensive once your opinion being questioned. it goes both way you know and you are the one that refuse to elaborate. how is it my fault? lmao.

Let´s face it, Hiroyuki does a quality job when making manga about stupid people doing stupid things in an unstoppable cicle, just like aho girl: it´s joke after joke after joke after joke after joke.... till suddently, it ends. The moment he brings drama to the table, I start caring less. I guess the reason KmK might gained more notoriety is because of the increase of the romcom trend lately, but seriously ,he should let that job to any other mangaka. I cant take his drama that seriously. Decent manga, by the way, but I hope he goes back to his roots next time.

what do you mean his roots? even his first popular works (doujin works) was more dramatic than this. and then he draw harem ecchi romcom (mangaka-san to assisstant). KmK is just right in the middle of both with pretty conclusive ending which we never had from hiroyuki series. Aho girl was just mangaka-san to assistant without the romcom.

Was a hysterical ride from start to finish. Wouldn't say it was always great but most of the time it remained quite funny and memorable. I'll miss it for what it was worth

This was a fascinating series to witness happen cause the reactions to it this last year or so have been some of the absolute most entertaining stuff in this medium for a while, I havent seen this much concentrated disgust at one series since like gal cleaning.
