Lycoris Recoil Manga Wrapping Up in Two Final Chapters

The Lycoris Recoil manga is heading for the finish line. Monthly Comic Flapper announced that the serialized adaptation of the 2022 A-1 Pictures anime will conclude in just two more chapters, bringing an end to the run that began in September 2022 under creators Spider Lily and Yasunori Bizen.

The manga, serialized through Kadakawa's Comic Flapper since its debut, has accumulated nine volumes as of August 2026. It adapts the original anime's story of Takina Inoue and Chisato Nishikigi, operatives within Japan's covert Lycoris Project, translating their high-octane missions and partnership into print form.

The franchise itself remains robust beyond the manga's conclusion. Lycoris Recoil has expanded into a light novel, web novel, stage play, and internet radio program—a sprawl typical of successful anime properties. English-language readers can follow the manga and light novel through Yen Press, while the anime streams on Crunchyroll.

Two chapters is a clean, deliberate exit rather than an abrupt cancellation, suggesting the creators have planned this endpoint. Whether the manga will diverge from or align with the anime's narrative arc remains to be seen, but the announcement itself signals a controlled wind-down rather than a surprise halt. For fans who've followed Takina and Chisato's story across multiple formats, the manga's imminent conclusion marks another milestone in a franchise that's proven its staying power across media.
