Norio Sakurai's Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu (The Dangers in My Heart) manga will end with its 14th volume, as revealed in the afterword of the 13th volume released on Thursday.

Produced by Shin-Ei Animation, the first anime season aired in 12 episodes in Spring 2023, followed by the 13-episode second season in Winter 2024, adapting the first eight volumes of the manga. A compilation film with additional footage was later announced and is scheduled to premiere in Japanese theaters on February 13. Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime series in North America and streamed both seasons on HIDIVE with subtitles and an English dub.

Weekly Shounen Champion originally began serializing the manga—also known by its short name Bokuyaba—in March 2018 before it moved to Champion Cross the following month, and later to Manga Cross in July that year. Akita Shoten published the 13th volume on Thursday. Bokuyaba has a cumulative over 7 million copies of its volumes in print.

A spin-off manga titled Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu: Love Comedy ga Hajimaranai, written and illustrated by Haika Nanasaka and supervised by Sakurai, began serialization in July 2025. Akita Shoten published the first volume on Thursday.

Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga in English in December 2020 and released the 11th volume in August 2025. The 12th volume will go on sale on February 24.

Synopsis
Kyoutaro Ichikawa may look like your average middle school student, but in his heart, he dreams of murder. Thus, it is no surprise that the one he wants to kill the most is never far off from his mind: the class idol, Anna Yamada.

Reading alone in his beloved school library, he inadvertently begins to rendezvous with Yamada, who comes to secretly gorge on her beloved candies and sweets. Through their interactions, Ichikawa discovers just how much of a ditz Yamada is, and cannot help but support her from the sidelines. Meanwhile, Yamada herself cannot help but tease Ichikawa relentlessly due to his flustered reactions.

With an array of heartwarming daily interactions, the distant bond between the two grows into something more than just library acquaintances. Perhaps, in time, Ichikawa will come to realize that his murderous desires have turned into something else entirely. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Very disappointing news, I expected this one to last at least 3-4 more years, it solved most of its romance early, could as well go all out and show more of they future live together.

@TsumaRio I think its possible, but with the movie adapting some post-2nd season content I think we would get at best a couple OVAs to end it off

@Mattinator95 This might be bcuz of the way Sakurai announced it... we only heard that it was gonna end when volume 13 was released, so maybe it might be courtesy to let the publishers (and later, the audience) know if they are distributing anymore volumes past 14. I assume some mangaka like announcing series end much sooner on their socials, if the publishing schedule isn't strict and/or is not published in paper at all

Not sure why other mangas can’t say they will end in a volume instead of out saying 3 chapters or 1 chapter out of nowhere

Is the content enough for a third season?

@AshuAmbrose Just because you don't understand the story of Oregairu dosen't mean it don't have comprehensible plot. Also the chemistry is oregairu is million time better and realistic then anything in Bokuyaba.

I think the author was struggling to figure out what to do with the kids after they got together; finishing it before they got to high school was the easy choice. Anna x Ichi was doomed, anyways.....

@Haou-Judai Its not special but atleast the characters have chemistry and a comprehensible plot unlike the overrated atrocity that is Oregairu

@Haou-Judai people who like this midget x pornstar mediocrity never read actual good romances, no use to try to talk to them, let the sheep be.

Oh gosh that art style, I think I know where this is going! 😂

@Yubisoft I think the same about those who praise this average romcom while ignore actual masterpieces. But sheep are always be sheeps.

I swear mangaka these days just get bored from success of a series -> rush the ending -> immediately jump on a new series. Just exactly what happened with the peak Megami no Café Terrace. What is wrong with the mangaka in the last 10 years

@Haou-Judai With Oregairu and Chitose on your fav list... can't say many will take you seriously

Jan 8, 2:25 PM by Yubisoft

Did they did the deed?

Average rom com. Should be ended earlier.

This felt overdue for a while now but has had some good stuff too mixed in. Hopefully we get proper closure and epilogue. Swear if this also ends in graduation though.

Damn, I stopped last month or so because I wanted to save some chapters to read in a binge or so. It did feel like the show was slightly beyond the climax in all fairness but here's to hoping another movie or some kind of sequel after the Feb movie gets announced to adapt up to completion.

about time it ended, it's just midget x pornstar mediocrity, now there is space for better manga

Jan 8, 5:34 AM by Catalano

I didnt think it would be ending anytime soon.
