This year's November issue of Manga Time Kirara Carat announced on Monday that Kuroda bb's A-Channel manga will end in three chapters, including the chapter in the issue. The January 2021 issue will publish the final chapter on November 28.

Synopsis
Tooru and Run have been best friends forever, so when Tooru learns that she's managed to get into the same high school as Run, she runs to tell her... only to find Run in a compromising position with yet another girl, Yuuko. Needless to say, that makes things a bit awkward at school, with Tooru fending off those who might be interested in Run while Yuuko and their other girlfriend, Nagi, have to deal with Run's own penchant for drama.

But it's not all angst all the time, and as the school year progresses the four girls and their many classmates find time to laugh, play and figure out how to handle unexpected problems life likes to throw at them. Like bugs in the house, accidentally giving each other horrible haircuts, freezing up at karaoke or forgetting to put your underwear on in the morning. When it comes to learning about the real world, there's always something "educational" to be found in A-Channel! (Source: Sentai Filmworks, edited)

The slice of life comedy manga began as a guest series in Manga Time Kirara Carat in August 2008, before beginning regular serialization in October 2008. Houbunsha published the tenth volume last October (pictured right).

Studio Gokumi adapted the manga into a 12-episode television anime in Spring 2011. The manga also inspired two original video anime episodes in March 2012. The anime's Blu-ray box included a special episode in September 2017.

Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime series in North America in November 2011 and released it on DVD in February 2012 and on Blu-ray in January 2015.

Very very good series. This one will be sorely missed. Poster above me sums it up well. This is just a great all-around series with great all-around characters, especially Tooru and Yuuko.

Among dozens of slice-of-life animes with schoolgirls, this is still one of my favourites. It's quite simple and portrays nothing but everyday occurrences without any craziness going on, but the chemistry between the characters works quite well, thanks mostly to Tooru and Yuuko, whose personalities i think are not usual for the genre, so the anime doesn't end up boring. It's overall mellowness and laid-back pacing invokes a sense of nostalgia within me. The right amount of not-so-subtle lewdness here & there is the icing on the cake. It is very unlikely that this will get another adaptation in the future, so i think i might check out manga now that it has been completed.

Sad to see it go. It got better as it went, though it didn't really go anywhere.
