The March edition of Square Enix’s Monthly Gangan Joker magazine announced on Thursday that Taku Kawamura’s False Child (Uso no Kodomo) manga will conclude in the next issue on March 22.
Square Enix’s Manga UP! Global, Kadokawa’s BookWalker Global Store, and Comikey release the manga digitally in English.
Here’s how Manga describes the story:
Imagine a scenario where a child who had passed away suddenly reappeared, looking exactly as she did before. Imagine if it were actually the work of a shapeshifting tanuki.
This is not a reunion.
She is not real.
Still, her parents hold onto the conflicting deception.
Delve into a touching story of grief and yearning by the writer of “My Clueless First Friend.”.
Kawamura introduced the manga in Gangan Joker magazine in November 2022.
The third compiled book volume of the manga was published by Square Enix on November 21.

The manga was first published in Gangan Joker in December 2016.
The 10th and final compiled book volume of the manga was published by Square Enix in July 2023.
