Kodansha publishing
house published the 14th and final chapter of
the #Aitora manga through its Magazine Pocket app
last Tuesday, May 6 , thus concluding a story that combined
comedy, genre changes, and a touch of science fiction.
Created
by Nekoume , known for the romantic comedy Miss
caretaker of Sunohara-sou , the manga launched in November 2023 and
ended less than a year later with just two compiled volumes. The second volume
was published in October 2024 .
An
influencer, a transformation, and… aliens?
The plot
follows Yamamoto Love Angel , a rising streamer who
slowly gains popularity. In search of shocking content, she decides to visit a
supposedly haunted site, but what she finds there changes her life
completely: she wakes up transformed into a man .
At first,
she's overcome with confusion and revulsion, but she soon discovers she's
not the only victim of this phenomenon. One of her viewers has
experienced the same thing, and together they begin to suspect that an
alien race is behind it all.
Nekoume's
unique style returns briefly
Nekoume is best known for his
manga Miss Caretaker of Sunohara-sou , a four-panel comedy
that began in 2014 and concluded in August 2022, after being cycled through
several magazines due to publication closures. The series was even adapted into
an anime series in July 2018 , which aired
on Funimation .
With #Aitora ,
the author once again demonstrated his signature style: light comedy, absurd
situations, and a touch of tenderness, although this time with a rather limited
runtime. Despite its short runtime, the series left a curious impression on
readers looking for a different take on contemporary manga
