Nao Maita's Age 12. Manga Ends in 2 Chapters

This year's September issue of Shogakukan's Ciao magazine announced on Saturday that Nao Maita will end her Age 12 (12-sai.) manga in two chapters. If the manga does not take a break it will end in the November issue in early October.

Maita launched the manga in 2012, and the series entered a new "finale" arc titled 12-sai. ~Sotsugyō~ (Age 12 Graduation) in March. The manga won Best Children's Manga at the 64th Shogakukan Manga Awards this year.

Age 12 inspired the 12-Sai ~Chiccha na Mune no Tokimeki~ (Age 12: A Little Heart-Pounding) television anime in 2016, two original video anime series, and a live-action DVD special.

Maita launched a new manga titled Junjō Girlfriend in the Ciao Deluxe magazine on March 20.
