Tanabe launched the series in the magazine in September 2024.","whyItMatters":"The magazine calls it a \"series finale chapter\" but leaves the scope open, so readers cannot yet tell whether Tanabe is ending Kai-hen Wizards outright or closing one arc on a series that launched in September 2024 and has four collected volumes.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe finale chapter runs 26 pages, an expanded length for the magazine\u0026#39;s next issue.

Viz Media handles the English simultaneous publication.
