Mitsutani's 'Land of Monsters' Manga Announces Imminent Conclusion with Three Chapters Left

The highly anticipated debut manga, Land of Monsters, from the exceptionally talented 20-year-old creator Mitsutani, is now approaching its dramatic conclusion with only three chapters remaining. Since its serialization began in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday on February 5, 2025, this series has captivated a wide readership with its distinctive blend of intense shonen action and profound emotional depth.
Published in English by Viz Media, Land of Monsters immerses readers in a world fractured by the ongoing conflict between humanity and formidable creatures. At the core of this turbulent setting is Rabi, a young protagonist whose pursuit of peace gradually uncovers a surprising and intricate connection to the very monsters he strives to comprehend. This journey skillfully explores complex themes of identity, coexistence, and the often-blurred distinctions between perceived adversaries, elevating the narrative beyond conventional genre expectations.
Despite Mitsutani's recent entry into the competitive manga industry, their storytelling prowess has been evident from the very beginning. They have crafted an intriguing narrative that expertly balances traditional high-octane sequences with a darker, more introspective storyline. Fans have eagerly followed Rabi through a perilous world filled with dangerous beasts and challenging moral dilemmas.
A recent, particularly gripping story arc saw Rabi venturing into the chilling depths of hell. This pivotal turn hinted at the astonishing possibility of his mother still being alive, a revelation that has kept readers on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting each new development.
With two compiled volumes already released, the most recent having shipped in August 2025, the series has consistently delivered a compelling experience. While some discussions have arisen regarding the pacing, particularly concerning Rabi's often contemplative role, the impending finale promises a powerful and satisfying resolution. It is expected to skillfully tie together the intricate threads of its ambitious plot, providing a cohesive and memorable conclusion.
Land of Monsters stands as a significant contribution to the contemporary shonen landscape. It echoes the grandeur of classic titles while simultaneously forging a distinct and fresh path in monster fantasy storytelling. Prepare to witness the epic conclusion of a series that has redefined expectations for a debut work.
