Imari Arita's Beloved 'Shachiku-san wa Yōjo Yūrei ni Iyasaretai' Manga Confirms Conclusion in Two Chapters

The conclusion of a highly regarded supernatural slice-of-life manga has been officially scheduled. On November 17, 2025, it was announced that Imari Arita’s popular serialization, Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost, known in Japan as Shachiku-san wa Yōjo Yūrei ni Iyasaretai, will conclude its narrative with only two chapters remaining. This news signals the approaching finale for a series that has resonated with readers by addressing the demanding realities of corporate life through a lens of gentle, otherworldly comfort.

The series initially gained attention through Arita Sensei’s posts on Twitter, beginning in February 2019. It swiftly amassed a dedicated following before being officially picked up for serialization in Square Enix's Monthly Shōnen Gangan starting in August 2019.

The Premise and Appeal

The core premise centers on Fushihara-san, an office employee severely burdened by the stresses of her demanding job. Her life is unexpectedly brightened and comforted by the presence of Yurei-chan, an adorable, small ghost girl. This unique combination of comedy, supernatural elements, and the slice-of-life structure has struck a chord with audiences, offering both relatable commentary on work-life imbalance and a form of comforting escapism. The manga has been compiled into ten tankōbon volumes to date, reflecting its sustained popularity.

The success of the series was further amplified by its transition to an anime television adaptation. The adaptation, produced by Project No.9, was broadcast from April through June 2022. The production team included Kū Nabara as director and Deko Akao handling the series scripts, with a musical score composed by Satoshi Hōno and Ryūnosuke Kasai. The anime adaptation solidified the title's standing, notably featuring the opening theme “Cherish” performed by Kaori Ishihara.

Across both the manga and the anime, the story’s empathetic portrayal of modern working struggles, mitigated by supernatural kindness, has garnered widespread acclaim. As the final installments approach, the readership is keenly anticipating how Arita Sensei will bring Fushihara-san's emotional journey to a close. Fans are eager to witness the resolution of her healing arc and the ultimate fate of her heartwarming relationship with Yurei-chan and the supporting cast. The impending conclusion marks the end of a distinctive series praised for its profoundly soothing and emotionally intelligent narrative. Readers should prepare for the final two chapters that will provide definitive closure to this beloved, gentle world.
