The conflict
between the Imperium and the Sovereignty of Nebulis is about to render its
final judgment. Author Kei Sazane took advantage of the New
Year's celebrations to reveal, through his official account on X (formerly
Twitter), that his series of light novels Our Last Crusade or the Rise
of a New World has officially entered its final battle stage.
The
announcement on January 1 was accompanied by a special
illustration and brought double news for the author's followers. Sazane
confirmed that the manga adaptation of another of his works, Sekai no
Owari no Encore, illustrated by Ryū Usui and featuring
character designs by Haruaki Fuyuno, has also entered its final
arc, marking a year of conclusion for its franchises.
Trajectory of
the work
The original
novel, illustrated by Ao Nekonabe, began publication under Kadokawa's imprint
in May 2017, accumulating 16 volumes to date. Its popularity led to a manga
adaptation in Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine
and a spin-off titled Secret File.
The eventful
passage through the anime
The franchise
inspired an anime adaptation that had a complicated journey recently. After a
first season in 2020, the second season suffered multiple delays, finally
premiering in July 2024. However, the broadcast was stopped in August of that
same year to "maintain quality", resuming from the first episode only
in April 2025.
