This year’s 17th issue of Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine revealed on Tuesday that Shun Matsuena’s Kimi wa 008 (You Are 008) manga will end after five chapters.
The manga reached its peak in 2021.
The espionage action story focuses on high school student Eito Akashi, who is depressed at the prospect of failing his exams. Although he had no memory of taking his exam, he received notification that he had passed. He is thrown into a world he has never known before, as the school he attends is actually a training center for secret agents.
Matsuena launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Sunday in February 2018. Shogakukan published the 30th compiled book manga on Monday.
Matsuena’s Shijō Saikyō no Deshi Kenichi (KenIchi the Mightiest Disciple) manga series ran in Shonen Sunday from 2002 to 2014. The manga was inspired by an anime television series that Funimation released in North America. The manga also inspired a series of original anime video episodes that aired on Japanese television.
