Groundbreaking Manga 'Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc.' Concludes Serialization, Anime Future Secured

The highly acclaimed manga series Kabushikigaisha Magi-Lumière, known to many fans as Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc., has officially concluded its serialization. The final, 160th chapter was released on July 8, 2025, marking the end of a groundbreaking four-year journey that redefined the magical girl genre with a refreshing corporate perspective.

A Fresh Take on Magical Girls

Penned by Sekka Iwata and beautifully illustrated by Yu Aoki, the series first appeared in October 2021 on Shueisha’s popular Shōnen Jump+ platform. Magilumiere quickly set itself apart by portraying the fantastical world of magical girls as a legitimate, albeit extraordinary, workplace. At its core is Kana Sakuragi, a recent college graduate navigating the challenging landscape of job hunting, who serendipitously finds her calling at Magilumiere. This unique company is dedicated to eradicating enigmatic creatures known as Kaii.

Readers have been captivated by Kana's journey of self-discovery and professional growth. She is supported by an eclectic cast, including her highly capable mentor, Hitomi Koshigaya, and the truly unforgettable Kouji Shigemoto, the middle-aged company president who boldly embraces the magical girl persona. This innovative blend of workplace drama and enchanting fantasy has resonated deeply with a diverse readership, establishing Magilumiere as a truly standout title.

From Page to Screen: The Anime Adaptation

The manga's immense success is further highlighted by its extensive compilation into seventeen tankōbon volumes as of June 2025, with an eighteenth volume expected to contain the concluding chapters. Its widespread appeal also paved the way for a highly anticipated 12-episode anime adaptation, masterfully produced by Moe and J.C. Staff. The anime aired from October to December 2024 and is globally accessible on Amazon Prime Video, significantly expanding the series' reach to an international audience. Fans will be delighted to know that a second season of the anime has already been greenlit for release in 2026, promising to continue the narrative and further entertain its dedicated fanbase.

For English-speaking audiences, Viz Media and Manga Plus have diligently provided official translations, with Volume 9 scheduled for release in August 2025. While the manga's serialization may have concluded, its rich narrative and unique premise have firmly cemented Kabushikigaisha Magi-Lumière as a significant contribution to both the shōnen and magical girl genres, affirming its place as a series cherished for its compelling character development and imaginative storytelling.
