Hold onto your hearts, Noon Anime readers, because we have some bittersweet news for you today! The beautiful and compelling manga series, Ripples in the River by the talented Zeniko Sumiya, is officially coming to a close. It has been announced that the story will conclude with its sixth and final compiled volume, which is slated to hit shelves in Japan this December. It's always tough to say goodbye to a series we love, but we can't wait to see the incredible conclusion Sumiya has in store for us!

But here's where the news gets really exciting for international fans! While the series is wrapping up in Japan, it's just getting started here in the West! That's right, the amazing folks over at Seven Seas Entertainment just began releasing the English-language version of the manga earlier this month. This creates the perfect opportunity for new readers to dive into this incredible story, knowing that the complete, six-volume journey is on the horizon. No long waits or cliffhangers for us!

For those just discovering the series, Ripples in the River is a must-read, celebrated for its gorgeous art style and deeply emotional storytelling. This is your chance to get in on the ground floor and experience the entire saga from start to finish as it's released by Seven Seas. We highly recommend picking up the first volume and seeing what all the buzz is about! Are you a long-time fan sad to see the story end, or a newcomer excited to binge the whole series in English?
