Takara Shimai Manga Ends, Gets English Release as Jackpot Sisters
The simultaneous end of the Japanese serialization and the start of the English release gives international readers access to the complete story from the outset, a pattern that is still uncommon for manga that ran fewer than two years.

Haru Hisakawa's manga Takara Shimai concluded its serialization in Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine on Friday, with the 11th issue of 2026 publishing the final chapter. The same week, Manga UP! Global added the series to its English-language service under the title Jackpot Sisters. The manga follows sisters Niina and Mana, who win a 300-million-yen lottery jackpot and navigate their new fortune. Hisakawa launched the series in January 2025. Two volumes have been released in Japan, and the third and final volume is scheduled for July 24. Hisakawa previously created Cat Massage Therapy, which Seven Seas Entertainment published in English.
The series ran for roughly 16 months in Young Gangan, a twice-monthly seinen magazine that Square Enix launched in December 2004. Hisakawa made their debut in 2017 in the Parfait anthology and has created eleven manga properties to date, including Cat Massage Therapy, which ran in Overlap's Comic Qurie web magazine from 2019 to 2020. Seven Seas Entertainment published that earlier series in full color in English.
Manga UP! Global's description of Jackpot Sisters calls it a "heartfelt financial comedy" centered on the two sisters' attempts to live according to their own values after their sudden wealth. The English release makes the full run available immediately, since the Japanese serialization has ended. The third and final Japanese volume ships on July 24, 2026.
