Akita
Publishing's Bessatsu Young Champion magazine announced that
the manga Jaa, Kimi no Kawari ni Korosō ka? (Well, should I
commit murder instead?) by Sōsō Sakakibara and Yukiaki
Kurando will come to an end in just two chapters.
Dark
history marked by bullying
The play
follows Yūma Fujikura, a first-year high school student who is
constantly bullied. One day, his classmate Ryō Ameri, nicknamed
"Amelie", intervenes to help him. However, Yūma warns him that if he
continues, the abusers will make him the next target. Amelie's response is as
disturbing as it is unexpected: she states that he would be willing to commit
murder instead.
Almost
six years of serialization
The manga
began publication in November 2018 on Bessatsu Young
Champion. The publisher Akita Shoten released volume 11 of
the compilation on August 20. Sakakibara is in charge of the art,
while Kurando writes the story.
Other
works by the authors
Sakakibara
also illustrated the manga Can You Just Die, My Darling? (Konya
wa Tsuki ga Kirei desu ga, Toriaezu Shine -last-) alongside Majuro
Kaname, which he completed in January 2021 and which Kodansha USA is
publishing digitally in English. For his part, Kurando is co-author, with Yūsuke
Nomura, of the manga Dolly Kill Kill, which has a total
