The popular manga The Dangers in My Heart (Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu / BokuYaba), written and illustrated by Norio Sakurai, revealed in chapter 196 that the series will conclude in just three chapters. This confirms the author’s note in the 13th volume from January, asking readers to follow the protagonists until the end of their middle school journey.

The story follows Kyotaro Ichikawa, a lonely boy who initially fantasized about ruining his classmates’ lives, especially the popular Anna Yamada. However, his dark facade hid a shy teen who gradually built a genuine relationship with her. After many shared moments, the final three chapters will be compiled in the 14th volume, giving this heartwarming romantic comedy a satisfying conclusion.

Though the manga is ending, the franchise will continue. Its animated adaptation launched its first season in April 2023, followed by a second in January 2024. A successful compilation film sold over 170,000 tickets globally earlier this year, and a third season is set for 2027. The series’ universe has expanded with light novels and spin-offs, ensuring fans won’t run out of content soon.

With these final chapters concluding Kyotaro and Yamada’s middle school story, will the author give a definitive ending or surprise fans with a sequel focusing on their high school lives?
