With a successful anime series out this summer, which was streamed by Crunchyroll and licensed by Sentai Filmworks, it looks like the original source material for Ao Haru Ride is about to end. Localized as Blue Spring Ride, the series comes from Io Sakisaka and the Bessatsu Margaret magazine is now revealing that her work is going to end soon with a planned December end for the manga. The work spawned a twelve episode series which also has an OAD coming with the twelfth volume of the manga that’s set to hit on December 12th, 2014. No release date has been scheduled yet for the thirteenth and final volume of the manga.
Series concept: Futaba Yoshioka wants to “reset” her life. In junior high, girls ostracized Futaba because too many junior high boys liked her. The only boy Futaba liked, Kou Tanaka, moved away before she could tell him how she felt. Now in high school, Futaba is determined to be unladylike so her new friends will not become jealous of her. While living her new life contentedly, she meets Kou again, but he now uses the name Kou Mabuchi and has a cold attitude. He tells her that he liked her too in junior high, but feels differently now.
