Aka Akasaka’s latest manga, Märchen Crown, has reportedly been canceled after a hiatus, bringing an early end to the dark fantasy series. The news marks another major development for the creator best known for Kaguya-sama: Love Is War and, more recently, Oshi no Ko.
Märchen Crown began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump in March of last year. The series stood out as Akasaka’s next project after the widely discussed ending of Oshi no Ko, with readers watching closely to see how the author’s new work would develop.
The cancellation comes after the manga had gone on hiatus, a gap that often raises uncertainty around a title’s future. While the available report does not provide a full breakdown of the reasons behind the decision, the end of Märchen Crown is likely to disappoint fans who were interested in Akasaka’s darker fantasy direction.
For followers of Akasaka’s career, the end of Märchen Crown adds to a notable stretch of conversation around the author’s recent work. After returning with a bold new series in Weekly Young Jump, the project will now be remembered as a short-lived entry in the manga creator’s catalog.
