In the 2/3 combined edition of Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, it was revealed that the manga written and illustrated by Kouji Seo, Hitman, will come to an end in six chapters. If there are no delays, the work will be completed by January 21, 2021.
Seo began publication of the manga in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine in June 2018. The publisher published the eleventh compilation volume on October 16 in Japan. Seo is also the author of other mangas such as Cross Over, Fuuka, Half & Half, Kimi no Iru Machi, Princess Lucia, among many others.
In fact, his manga Fuuka inspired a controversial anime adaptation of twelve episodes produced by Diomedea Studios, under the direction of Keizou Kusakawa and scripts written by Jessica Cavanagh, released in January 2017. The adaptation received mostly negative reviews due to the alteration of the original story.
Synopsis of Hitman
Kenzaki Ryuunosuke is the new editor of the Weekly Shonen Magazine, but his love for an unpopular series makes him unappreciated within the company. He soon meets Takanashi Tsubasa, an aspiring mangaka, so Ryuunosuke will seek to prove himself by becoming Japan's number one manga artist.
