The February issue of Kodansha's Magazine Special, the magazine's last issue, published the final chapter of Toshihiko Kobayashi's Pastel manga on Friday. The manga's 44th and final compiled book volume is slated for February 17. 2x6i34

Del Rey previously published the manga in North America, and it described the story:

*Poor Mugi Tadano... The sixteen-year-old is heartbroken after his girlfriend moves away. To ease he troubled state, Mugi takes a summer job at his friend Kazuki's beachside snack bar/hotel on a tropical island. It seems like the perfect plan - until Kazuki sets Mugi up on a date with Yuu, who's supposed to be, well, a little less than perfect.

When Yuu arrives, however, she's not the monster that either of the boys had imagined. In fact, Yuu is about the cutest person the Mugi has ever seen. But after Mugi accidentally walks in on Yuu in the bath, the girl is steamed. When trying to apologize the next day, he discovers that Yuu has left the shores of paradise. Mugi vows to search high and low for the beautiful Yuu, but will he ever see her again?*

Kobayashi launched the manga in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 2002, and later switched to Magazine Special. Kodansha published the manga's 43rd volume (seen right) last October. Del Rey published the manga's first 14 volumes before shuttering its manga publishing business in 2010.

So they finally canceled it? Good. Took them a long time. 🙄

I thought it ended a long time ago.

About time. Story is so dragging

worrying is just wasting time

Why does people assume when a manga ends it was cancelled or axed all the time? 🙄 IIRC the mangaka ended it on their own .

Hi guys, so anyone knows how the manga did end? Did they get married ? Did they finally have s** ? Was reading it ages ago, but cant find anything about how it did end. Would love to know, or was it open ending ?Thanks in advance for answering. 😀
