Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 16

Mika Yamamori's In the Clear Moonlit Dusk is ending. Yamamori announced in the author's notes of the 11th volume on Friday that the manga will conclude with its next volume next spring. Kodansha published volume 11 on September 11, and the jacket band states the series has 8.2 million copies in circulation globally. The manga began serialization in 2020 in Kodansha's Dessert magazine and had 10 compiled volumes at the time the live-action casting was reported in June.

The end of the manga is arriving alongside the screen adaptations, not after them. The anime adaptation premiered on January 11. The live-action film opens in Japan on October 23. The film stars Shunsuke Michieda as Kohaku Ichimura and Seira Anzai as Yoi Takiguchi. In June, the production added Yuki Yoda as Yoshiko, Kohaku's childhood friend, and Naohito Fujiki as Seiichi Takiguchi, Yoi's father and the owner of a curry restaurant called Nasu Oyaji. Kentaro Takemura directs from a script by Yuichi Tokunaga, with music by Shu Kanematsu. TBS TV is overseeing production at TBS Sparkle, and TOHO is distributing.

Coverage of the two announcements diverged in scope. The casting report laid out the full production roster and the manga's publication history. The ending announcement focused on the volume count, the circulation figure, and the dates already set for the anime and film. Both stories agree on the October 23 film opening and the January anime premiere.
