Is Darling In The Franxx Manga Still Running

Okay, let's talk Darling in the Franxx. Specifically, the manga. Is it still a thing?

The Big Question: Still Going?

Short answer? Nope. The manga wrapped up its run a while back.

Think of it like that summer fling. It was fun, intense, but eventually, it ended. Just like Zero Two's search for her Darling finally meeting her ending.

Wait, What Happened?

The manga, by Kentaro Yabuki, told the story alongside the anime. It didn't exactly follow the anime beat-for-beat, though.

Think alternate routes in a video game. Same destination, different roads.

It finished its serialization back in 2020. So, if you're waiting for a new chapter? Don't hold your breath.

My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves)

Okay, I'm going to say it. And some of you might throw your controllers at the screen. The manga ending was…fine.

I know, I know! Heresy! But hear me out.

The anime ending? Let's just say it left some fans…divided. Like pineapple on pizza divided. A very strong opinion.

The manga offered a different take. A slightly less... cosmic... ending. Which, honestly? I preferred.

"Sometimes, simpler is better. Especially when giant robots and alien princesses are involved."

Don't get me wrong, I love a good space opera. But sometimes, a quieter resolution hits harder.

Why I Liked It (Don't Hate Me!)

The manga focused more on the core relationships. Hiro and Zero Two, of course, but also the rest of the squad.

Their struggles felt more grounded. Their victories, more personal.

It gave a sense of closure without launching into dimension-hopping shenanigans. (Okay, a little bit of shenanigans, but less!)

In Conclusion: It's Over, But It Lived

So, no, the Darling in the Franxx manga isn't still running. It had its moment, made its mark, and bowed out.

And honestly? Maybe that's a good thing.

Better to burn bright and fade away, than to drag on and lose its spark, right?

Besides, we'll always have the anime. And countless fan theories. And heated debates about the ending.

The love for Darling in the Franxx is still going strong, even if the manga isn't. And that's what really matters, right? Maybe now is the time to read other similar works!
