Square
Enix's Monthly
Shonen Gangan magazine confirmed that the manga Anastacia no
Ikita 9-kakan, known internationally as The Last 9 Days of
Anastasia and created by Ryōsuke Asakura, will publish its
last chapter on September 12 (Spanish time) in its next issue.
History
marked by tragedy
Set in a
fantasy world, the plot presents a millennia-old conflict between the Church
of Light and the Church of Darkness. When the former is
about to be defeated, she decides to magically summon a heroine to change her
fate. However, this powerful warrior carries an inevitable prophecy: she
will die in just nine days. Accompanied by a priestess, she embarks on a
brief but decisive journey to save her people.
A year
and a half of publication
The series
debuted on Monthly Shonen Gangan in February 2024, and to date
has two compilation volumes, the most recent published on February 12.
This closure will mark the end of a work that combined dark fantasy with
a touch of drama and action.
