Midori Amagaeru and Tsukasa Kyoka's Online: The Comic manga ended with its 255th chapter, published August 14. The adaptation, which launched on DeNA's MangaBox app in 2013, also ran in English until the app's English version was discontinued. Everystar shipped the 23rd compiled volume on February 1.
The final chapter arrived August 14, and Amagaeru marked the occasion with a celebratory illustration shared on X/Twitter. The series had been running since 2013, when it launched on DeNA's MangaBox app, which also published an English edition until that version of the app was shut down.
The story follows Mai Yashiro, a 22-year-old office worker forced into a deadly game called Nightmare, where refusing to play costs the lives of those close to her and losing battles costs parts of her own body. Her company forms a Nightmare Strategy Team to fight back. The manga adapts Amagaeru's novel series, which began in 2011 and has received over 40 million online hits.
