This year's 26th issue of Shogakukan's Weekly Big Comic Spirits magazine revealed on Monday that Hoshino-kun, Shitagatte! The manga (Hoshino-kun, Please Follow My Lead!) will end in issue #27 on June 3.
The romantic comedy about “complete obedience” follows Hoshino, a boy in the baseball club of his school who transferred to Yamada student school crying because he was robbed. The manga is based on an original concept by comedy duo Parpar's Hoshino Disco.
Ojiro launched the series in Shogakukan's Weekly Big Comic Spirits magazine on February 5. Shogakukan will publish the compiled book volume on June 11.
Ojiro launched the Insomniacs After School manga in Weekly Big Comic Spirits in May 2019 and ended it in August 2023. Shogakukan published the manga's 14th and final compiled book volume on October 12. Viz Media has licensed the manga in English and will release the sixth volume on June 18.
The manga inspired an anime adaptation that premiered in Japan in April 2023. HIDIVE streamed the series as it aired in Japan. The music video for the song “Enshin” (Centrifuge) by rock band Macaroni Enpitsu featured illustrations from the manga in 2019.
The manga also inspired a live-action film premiering in Japan in June 2023.
