As seems to be the case with a lot of manga properties, once you get your anime adaptation, you seem like you’ll come to an end. We learned last November that Ao Haru Ride from Io Sakisaka, was going to end in December. Localized as Blue Spring Ride for its anime run, it now looks like it went on a bit longer than that as Bessatsu Margaret magazine is now revealing that her work is going to end with the February 13th installment of the magazine. The magazine is also going to go the distance with a new clear file folder for the property with a new illustration made for it. The work spawned a twelve episode series which also has an OAD released with the twelfth volume of the manga that was released 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.
