Koharu Inoue’s romantic comedy Kimi no Katana ga Oreru Made has officially concluded with the release of its final chapter on May 14, 2025. After two years of publication on Shogakukan’s Sunday Web Every platform, the story of swords, heartbreak, and healing has drawn to a close.
Blending historical drama with emotional comedy, the manga won fans over with its balance of sharp wit and tender romance. The final volume is set to ship in Japan this June.
How it started and how it ends (spoilers)
Set in a stylized historical Japan, Kimi no Katana ga Oreru Made follows Yonosuke, a stoic bodyguard who lives only to avenge the death of his beloved. When his childhood friend Tsukimiya Matsuri re-enters his life, she decides to rescue him from the edge of despair—not with violence, but with love.
Matsuri believes that if she can make Yonosuke fall in love again, his thirst for vengeance will break like a blade too burdened to strike. What unfolds is a battle of emotions, full of awkward moments, comedic misunderstandings, and slow-burning affection. The manga explores grief, romantic healing, and the quiet power of emotional connection in a world ruled by honor and steel.
