The Seishun Buta Yarou (Rascal Does Not Dream) youth series finally reaches its conclusion, as the long-awaited 15th volume was released today, marking the closure of one of the most beloved sagas in the Japanese light novel world. Written by Hajime Kamoshida and illustrated by Mizoguchi Keiji, this work has been a benchmark in its genre since its April 2014 debut under KADOKAWA’s Dengeki Bunko imprint, affectionately known as Aobuta, the series has captivated readers with its mix of comedy, romance and the supernatural.

The popular light novel series came to an end with the release of volume 15 titled The scoundrel does not dream of a dear friend. As expected, many fans have expressed their opinion about this fact, and Seishun Buta Yarou is one of the most important franchises that we can find today, so opinions were divided: from those who are happy to know how will be the end of the work, to those who are sadder because their most beloved work will reach a new denouement.

Throughout its decade of publication, Seishun Buta Yarou has released 15 volumes that, as of April 2024, have surpassed 3 million copies in circulation. The series has also gained recognition in literary rankings, achieving 5th place in the paperback category of the 2020 edition. With its ending now in the hands of fans, Aobuta’s legacy promises to remain in the hearts of those who followed the adventures of its endearing characters.
