The manga is a spinoff of Chica Umino’s shogi romance manga March comes in like a lion.
This year’s sixth issue of Hakusensha’s Young Animal magazine revealed on Friday that Hideaki Nishikawa’s Sangatsu no Lion Shōwa Ibun: Shakunetsu no Toki (March comes in like a lion: Shakunetsu no toki) spinoff manga will end in the magazine’s next issue on March 27.
The manga has won the Manga Taisho, Kodansha Manga Awards’ Best Shōjo Manga award, and the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prizes’ Grand Prize.
Umino, a creator previously known for her josei manga such as Honey and Clover, launched the original manga in Young Animal in 2007.
