To Your Eternity will come to an end: manga concludes in volume 25
The manga To Your Eternity (Fumetsu no Anata e), created by Yoshitoki Ōima, will come to an end in its 25th volume, as announced in the latest issue published in Japan. The series, which began in November 2016, has traced an emotional and intense journey across three narrative arcs. Consequently, the title bids farewell after nearly a decade of serialization.
A journey about love, death, and eternity
To Your Eternity is the follow-up work by the creator of A Silent Voice, and it embraces a bold premise: it follows the evolution of an immortal being who learns what it means to be human through encounters and losses. Therefore, the story blends philosophy, drama, and fantasy, offering deep reflections on the cycle of life.
The tale begins with a lonely boy wandering the Arctic and his encounter with a wolf — but what seems simple soon unfolds into something much deeper. Gradually, the journey becomes a story marked by reincarnations, transformations, and fleeting bonds, in a world where each farewell brings new lessons.
Recognition and legacy
Throughout nearly a decade of publication in Weekly Shōnen Magazine, the manga has earned multiple awards, including:
Best Shōnen Manga at the 43rd Kodansha Manga Awards (2019)
Inclusion in the YALSA (American Library Association) list of Best Graphic Novels for Teens
A TV anime adaptation, with:
Season 1 released in April 2021
Season 2 in October 2022
And Season 3 scheduled for October 2025
In addition, the anime helped bring the story to a much wider audience, expanding the work’s global impact beyond Japan.
Reception and emotional impact
The news of the ending also stirred strong reactions among readers who have followed the series since its early volumes. In recent weeks, fans have expressed their deep connection to the work and praised its emotional tone and sensitive approach to life and death.
As a result, To Your Eternity has earned a place among the most memorable modern titles thanks to its lasting emotional appeal.
Conclusion
To Your Eternity will come to an end, but its message lives on in every reader who took part in the journey. To close a story like this is also to end a long meditation on what makes us human. Through lives and losses, the work touched readers with a message that transcends time: everything that begins is destined to end — and it’s within that brief interval that the beauty of existence emerges.
