Manga artist Anju Hino announced on their X (formerly Twitter) account on April 25 that their Missing manga, a new adaptation of Gakuto Coda’s Missing novel series, will end in its next chapter on May 27.
Hino launched the manga in Kadokawa’s Dengeki Maoh magazine in May 2023. Kadokawa published the manga’s first compiled book volume in October 2023, and the third volume on October 25.
Tokyopop released the first two novel volumes and all three volumes of Rei Mutsuki’s first manga adaptation, and the company describes the story:
As a child, Kyoichi Utsume was spirited away, but somehow he returned to our world. Now in high school, he’s a loner famous for his all-black outfits, his arrogant attitude, and his extensive knowledge of the occult. Then, one day, he meets her, and things between the two worlds are never the same.
Coda released the novel series in 13 volumes from 2001 to 2005, with art by Shin Midorikawa. Kadokawa released a new edition of the series with new cover art by Mai Hanamura in 2020 to 2022. Mutsuki’s Missing: Kamikakushi no Monogatari manga adaptation ran in Kadokawa’s Dengeki HP magazine in 2005, and had three volumes.
Hino recently launched the ongoing Kyōganake no Hanayome (The Flower Bride of the Kyōkane Clan) manga in Square Enix’s Gangan Joker magazine in January 2024.
Hino launched the ECHIGOBAKUFU manga on LINE manga in 2021. The series was adapted into a television anime in 2022 and aired on Niigata Sogo Television (NST).
Hino was also the artist behind the My Unexpected Marriage manga, based on the Botsuraku Reijō no Ikoku Kekkonroku light novels written by Mashimesa Emoto with art by Machi. Square Enix shipped the fourth and final compiled book volume in December 2021. Square Enix’s Manga UP! Global and Kadokawa’s BookWalker Global Store publishes the manga in English digitally.
