With the plans in the works for a bit, the Dagashi Kashi manga from Kotoyama is now scheduled. The series will wrap up in three chapters which should be with the April 11th, 2018 issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday if things play out as scheduled. The ending was talked about in the tenth volume of the series that came out last month so one more volume will wrap everything up. The series, the first from the creator, kicked off in 2014 and has two anime season adaptations.
