The ninth compiled book volume of Rensuke Oshikiri’s Hi Score Girl manga revealed on Monday that the manga will end in its 10th volume.
The manga halted serialization in August 2014 following SNK Playmore’s (now SNK) criminal complaint against Square Enix in August 2014, which asserted that the Hi Score Girl manga featured over 100 instances of characters from The King of Fighters, Samurai Spirits (Samurai Shodown), and other fighting games owned by SNK.
The two companies settled their claims over the manga in August 2015, and SNK Playmore dropped its criminal charges against Square Enix.
Square Enix also issued a voluntary recall on all of the manga’s five print volumes in 2014, but re-released the first five volumes in 2016 under the title Hi Score Girl CONTINUE.
