Viz Media announced back in the summer of 2021 that Kei Kamiki’s manga series Magu-chan: God of Destruction is getting done as compiled volumes for release in English – but as a digital exclusive. That kind of set the tone for how well the property was being received in English.
Now, it looks like the property has come to a close in Japan as Weekly Shonen Jump revealed in the new installment that came out this weekend that it was the final chapter. The series is going to get an additional chapter in the spring installment of Jump Giga, which we hope Shonen Jump will be able to bring out for English readers.
The series by Kei Kamiki began in June 2020 and has seven volumes out with the eighth and final volume set for a March 4th, 2022 release.
Plot Concept: About 600 years ago, the God of Destruction Mag Menuek, one of the Gods of Chaos (混沌の邪神), was summoned to Earth by the Cult of Chaos (混沌教), but was sealed away in a crystal by the Holy Knights (聖騎士). In a remote beachside town in the present day, middle school student Ruru Miyanagi finds and accidentally releases Magu from the sealing crystal. Although Magu tells her of his Godly status, Ruru is unimpressed and the two form an unlikely relationship; the lonely Ruru looks at him as a friend of equal status, while Magu considers her his lowly human disciple. Having sensed Magu, the God of Madness Naputaaku breaks out of his sealing crystal and the two continue their rivalry to rule humans, although both have lost most of their power. After learning that they both hate Magu, Naputaaku and Ruru’s friend Ren Fujisawa form an alliance. The young Holy Knight Izuma Kisaragi makes occasional appearances in the town trying to stop Magu from taking it over. Izuma is often accompanied by Uneras, the God of Providence who betrayed her fellow Gods of Chaos and sided with the Holy Knights, leading to their sealing 600 years earlier.
