Mizuki Kishikawa has confirmed that the romantic comedy Hope You're Happy, Lemon (Kuso Onna ni Sachiare) is nearing its conclusion. The author announced on X that the final chapter of the series will be published on September 13, bringing the story of Sunao Akiyoshi and Lemon Nishikawa to a close.
Launched in October 2023 on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ platform, the manga centers on a high-stakes body-swap scenario. After Sunao, who swore off romance following a traumatic betrayal by his first love, Lemon, finds himself suddenly inhabiting her body, he must navigate her life and his own complicated feelings for a new crush, Natsumi Kogahara. The series has been noted for its blend of gender-bending comedy and the protagonist's struggle to reconcile with his past.
Readers following the English release can find the series on Shueisha's MANGA Plus service. While the Japanese run concludes this month, Seven Seas continues its physical release schedule, with the fourth volume slated to ship on September 15. With the story reaching its climax, the resolution of Sunao's complicated love triangle remains the primary focus for the final installment.
