'In So Deep, It's Love Already' Manga Ends in 10th Volume

posted on 2026-02-19 11:15 EST by Joanna Cayanan

Manga about idol fangirl, mysterious transfer student launched in 2022

The ninth compiled book volume of Reida Soragaki's In So Deep It’s Love Already (Numa Sugite Mohaya Koi) manga revealed on February 13 that the series will end in its 10th volume, which will ship in July.

Kodansha's K MANGA service added the manga as a simulpub in 2024, and describes the story:

Because of a heartbreak in her past, Kirino decided to live more for her idol than for actual boys, but one day, transfer student Kametani-kun comes, who has a somewhat similar vibe to her idol! When Kametani-kun glares at the girls saying, “Don't even think about talking to me!” on the very first day of transferring to the school, Kirino gets intrigued by him and learns his secret and…?!

Soragaki debuted the manga in Kodansha's Dessert magazine in May 2022. Tokyopop also licensed the manga under its LoveLove imprint, and published the first volume in English on February 3. Tokyopop will publish the manga's second volume on May 5.

April Showers Bring May Flowers Anime Series Review

Feb 18, 12:00 anime

With the deliberate pacing of the romance plot, there's plenty of room for character introspection. ― No one in April Showers Bring May Flowers is perfect. That might not sound important, but it truly is, particularly as the series goes on. There's a tendency in this style of high school romance to make a few people seem larger than life, as if their outer beauty reflects an inner saintliness that ma...

This arc makes it explicitly clear that she does not think she is a good person who is deserving of any of that love. ― There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover! Unless… was an interesting series that mixed funny comedic hijinx with solid character writing. While...
