The March issue of Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine is announcing on Thursday that Kei Natsumi's Umineko When They Cry Episode 7 manga will end on the magazine's April issue, which will ship on March 12.
The manga is part of a series of multi-episode adaptations of Ryukishi07/07th Expansion's mystery suspense dōjin game from the Umineko When They Cry (Umineko no Naku Koro ni) multimiedia franchise. In the story, 18 people step foot on the remote island of Rokkenjima in October of 1986, when a spate of murders takes place. Manga artist Kei Natsumi launched the manga in 2007. Jiro Suzuki and Sōichirō have illustrated two of the manga's other story arcs. Square Enix shipped Episode 7's eighth compiled volume on December 22. Yen Press licensed the manga in 2012, and released the ninth volume on January 20.
The Umineko When They Cry game has also been adapted into a television anime series. NIS America licensed the anime in 2012 and released in two Premium Edition volumes in December of that year.
