In Wednesday’s 331st chapter of Yuu Watase’s manga “Arata: The Legend” (Arata Kangatari), a revelation emerged: the manga is set to conclude in just four more chapters. This exciting development comes after “Arata: The Legend” embarked on its final narrative arc back in March of this year.
Notably, the manga made a triumphant return from a six-year hiatus, reappearing in Weekly Shonen Sunday in May 2021, following a hiatus that had begun in 2015. In May 2022, it transitioned to Shogakukan’s Sunday Webry (Sunday Web Every) website, marking another significant step in its journey.

Fans of the series were delighted when Yuu Watase, the creator, took to Twitter in December 2020 to announce that she had solidified the remaining plot for the manga, promising a compelling conclusion to the tale.
“Arata: The Legend” originally graced the pages of Weekly Shonen Sunday in 2008. Its English version is published by Viz Media, and the story unfolds in a captivating mythical world where humans and gods coexist. Arata, the protagonist, is burdened with the precarious duty of being the successor to the matriarchal Hime Clan.
To survive, he must assume the identity of a girl or face dire consequences if his true gender is exposed. On the day of his inauguration, an assassination attempt forces him to flee, leading him to an unexpected destination: modern-day Japan.
Concurrently, another boy named Arata Hinohara is unexpectedly drawn into the first Arata’s world, finding himself entangled in a perilous web of adversaries seeking his life.
