Kōji Seo's Beloved 'Megami no Café Terrace' Manga Enters Final Chapters

The vibrant world of Kōji Seo's Megami no Café Terrace, known in English as The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses, is set to gracefully conclude. An announcement in the latest issue of Weekly Shōnen Magazine revealed that only five chapters remain for this beloved romantic comedy.

Having captivated readers for over four and a half years since its debut in February 2021, the series will reach its poignant finale with chapter 217, slated for publication on October 29, 2025. Fans have journeyed alongside Hayato Kasukabe, a driven top student whose life takes an unexpected turn when he returns to his hometown.

Tasked with closing his late grandmother’s cherished café, Hayato discovers it is already occupied by five spirited young women, each claiming a unique bond with his grandmother. This surprising revelation forms the heart of the narrative, as Hayato makes the pivotal decision to keep “Café Familia” thriving, embarking on a daily adventure filled with laughter, challenges, and budding relationships.

The series has consistently garnered acclaim for its masterful blend of heartfelt romance, genuine comedy, and charming slice-of-life moments. From chaotic, memorable beach excursions to emotional confessions and lively rivalries with neighboring establishments, Megami no Café Terrace has skillfully portrayed the evolving dynamics and personal growth of its endearing cast within a picturesque town setting.

Kodansha is scheduled to release the 21st tankōbon volume on October 17, 2025, which will encompass these much-anticipated concluding chapters. Beyond the printed page, the series successfully transitioned into anime, with Tezuka Productions bringing the charming story to life.

The first season aired from April to June 2023, followed by a highly anticipated second season from July to September 2024. Both adaptations were widely accessible globally through Crunchyroll’s streaming platform, significantly broadening the manga’s international appeal and fanbase.

As the story draws to its emotional close, readers worldwide are eagerly awaiting Kōji Seo’s ultimate vision for Hayato and the goddesses, particularly how the intricate tapestry of romantic and familial bonds will resolve. While an air of melancholy accompanies the impending conclusion for many devoted fans, there remains a hopeful buzz surrounding the possibility of a third anime season, a testament to the manga’s enduring popularity and rich narrative potential.
