Posted by Noon Anime Team on October 22, 2025
Hold onto your sewing kits, cosplay fans, because we have some bittersweet news coming your way! The final chapter is closing on Rei Taki's absolutely delightful manga, 'Hōkago, Boku wa Kimi ni Naru' (which translates to 'After School, I Become You')! This series totally captured our hearts with its incredibly fun and relatable premise: a high school boy navigating the thrilling, secret world of cosplay right on school grounds. It’s a story of passion, identity, and the drama of keeping a double life, and we're so sad to see it end!
What's truly wild is the series' whirlwind journey. Having just launched in 2024, 'After School, I Become You' is wrapping up its story much sooner than anyone anticipated. But hey, don't let the short run fool you! This often means the creator had a perfectly paced, complete story to tell from the very beginning, with no filler in sight. We've loved following our hero's after-school transformations, holding our breath with every close call and cheering for every perfectly stitched seam.
While we're wiping away a tear as the curtain falls, this is actually the perfect opportunity for anyone who missed out to jump right in! Now that the story has reached its grand finale, you can binge the entire completed series from start to finish without those agonizing cliffhanger waits. We can't wait to see what amazing project creator Rei Taki has planned for us next. For now, let's give a huge round of applause for 'Hōkago, Boku wa Kimi ni Naru' – a short but incredibly sweet tribute to finding and embracing your true self, one costume at a time!
