Final Volume Announced

The 20th volume of Hiroyuki Etō's manga series, Mahōjin Guru Guru 2 (also known as Magical Circle Guru-Guru 2), revealed on April 12 that the series will end with its next volume.

About the Sequel

• Mahōjin Guru Guru 2 launched on the Square Enix's Gangan Online website in 2012.
• The sequel continues the whimsical fantasy and comedy of the original manga.

History of the Franchise

• The original Mahōjin Guru-Guru manga ran in Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine from 1992 to 2003.
• In 2008, Etō created a spinoff, Buyūden Kita Kita, focusing on a comedic dancing old man from the original series. This ran until 2012 when Mahōjin Guru Guru 2 began.
• Etō's inspiration came from classic role-playing games, resulting in a unique parody series.

Anime Adaptations and Legacy

• The adventures of Nike and Kukuri led to a popular TV anime from 1994–1995, a 1996 film, and a 2000 TV sequel, Doki Doki Densetsu Mahōjin Guru Guru.
• In 2017, a new TV anime adaptation aired. This reboot was not a sequel or an adaptation of Mahōjin Guru Guru 2, but rather started fresh with the manga’s first chapter, showing Nike and Kukuri's first meeting in Jimina Village.
