The Japanese publisher Square Enix posted the 13th and final chapter of the Fractale manga adaptation on the Gangan Online website on Thursday. The manga became the center of a public dispute between Yutaka Yamamoto, the director of the original Fractale anime, and the manga's artist Mutsumi Akazaki this past summer.

Akazaki had written on her blog in June that she found the work "uninteresting" and added that she wanted to work on a manga that she enjoyed. After criticizing Akazaki's comments, Yamamoto reported on his Twitter account that he asked the franchise's production committee to discontinue the manga series. However, Yamamoto noted that the final decision lies with the production committee. The following week, the 10th installment went online.

The manga launched on Gangan Online last year, and Square Enix published the second compiled book volume in July.

That's too bad. It was kind of rude of the mangaka, though. I hope that they at least do another adaptation of the anime with a different artist someday. It certainly wouldn't be a first.
