The 11th volume of the GL (girls’ love) light novel Adachi and Shimamura revealed on Friday that the series will end with the next volume. The novel is written by Hiromi Ituma and began its serialization in Dengeki Bunko Magazine with illustrations by Non in March 2013.

The light novel was adapted into a manga by Moke Yuzuhara which was launched in 2019 and the series inspired a TV anime adaptation that aired in 2020 with 12 episodes. The anime was produced by Tezuka Productions under the direction of Satoshi Kuwabara. Mayumi Morita is writing the scripts while Shizue Kaneko is illustrating the character designs. Voice actress Akari Kito is voicing the main protagonist Sakura Adachi and Miku Ito is playing Hougetsu Shimamura.

Seven Seas Entertainment is publishing the Adachi and Shimamura light novel in English and they describe it as:

I can talk about seiyuus for days. A connoisseur of cute girls doing cute things and fluffy romance stories always make me smile. I mostly watch slice-of-life and rom-coms with drama on the side.
