Last Call! Kishi Ueno's 'The Oddballs of Rookerie' Manga Ends Its Shockingly Short Run!

Pour one out, manga fans, because it's closing time at one of the newest establishments on the scene! In news that's sure to surprise many, it's been announced that Kishi Ueno's intriguing manga, The Oddballs of Rookerie, is officially coming to an end. It feels like we just got our invitation, as the series only began its serialization this past July 2024, making this a very quick and sudden finale!

For those who hadn't yet pulled up a stool, The Oddballs of Rookerie centered on a mysterious bar, a classic setting for strange tales and even stranger characters to collide. The title alone promised a delightful cast of misfits and secrets lurking behind the counter. We were so ready to get to know the regulars and uncover the mysteries of this unique watering hole, and while we're sad to see it go so soon, a short story can often pack the biggest punch!

While a swift ending can be bittersweet, it also means that new readers can now experience the entire completed story from start to finish without a long wait. We're giving a huge round of applause to Kishi Ueno for creating this fascinating world, even if our visit was a brief one. We'll be eagerly watching to see what incredible project they have in store for us next!
