The July issue of Akita Publishing’s Monthly Princess magazine revealed on Thursday that Arata Kawabata’s manga adaptation of Mitsuru Yūki’s Onmyōji, Abe no Seimei novel series will end in the next issue on July 5.
The novel series’ story centers on the historical figure Abe no Seimei, one of Japan’s most famous onmyōji (ancient Japanese occultist).
The story of the first book begins when Abe no Seimei inadvertently assists Princess Tachibana during Kyoto’s Kamosai festival, and finds out that she is possessed by a formidable spirit.
Yūki’s long-running Shonen Onmyouji novel series launched in 2002, and is ongoing with 53 volumes.
