This year's 15th issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine is announcing on Wednesday that Kôji Kumeta will end his Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei within nine more chapters. Barring any delays or skipped weeks, the manga will end in May.

The high school comedy centers around a pathologically depressed teacher who somehow finds the will to deal with a class of oddball students. Kumeta launched the manga in Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 2005, and Kodansha published the 28th compiled book volume last month. Del Rey began publishing the manga in North America in 2009, and Kodansha Comics will release the 14th volume next month, after taking over Del Rey's titles.

The manga inspired three television anime series and several original video releases. Media Blasters had licensed the first series in North America.

Well, it had a nice run.

Cant wait to see what kind of twisted ending Kumeta comes up with for this one.

Maybe he'll actually die for once.

now will nozomu finally deny chiri's love and be killed or finally accept chiri's love and be killed?

He'll be killed before making a decision. Obviously 😛

"It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."

I want to say "MOAR!" but I guess it had a good run in and of itself.

Worst news to start my morning. I'm in despair!

🤣

This news is both sad and not-so-sad. I was afraid that the mangaka would stretch things out indefinitely and make SZS into one of those series that's simply too long for its own good. I'm glad he's decided not to let things go stale. But to think I won't have any more wacky social commentary to read... 😢
