Is As Miss Beelzebub Likes Manga Finished? Status

If you’ve been eyeing As Miss Beelzebub Likes (that’s the English title — the Japanese title is ベルゼブブ嬢のお気に召すまま。) and wondering whether this manga is finished or still running, the short answer is: yes, it’s completely finished. This is a romance manga through and through — a sweet, comedic love story set in a demon world — and the series wrapped up years ago. Every volume is available in English right now. No waiting, no cliffhangers hanging over your head, no hoping for a continuation that may never come.

Below you’ll find the full breakdown — when it ended, whether the romance pays off, how many volumes you’re looking at, and where to jump in. One quick note on format before we dive in: this is a 4-koma manga, which means the pages use a four-panel comic strip layout (four panels stacked vertically on each page) rather than the varied panel sizes and arrangements you’ll see in most other manga. Don’t let that format fool you — there’s a continuous romantic storyline running through the whole series.

Yes, As Miss Beelzebub Likes Is Finished — The Manga Ended in July 2020

As Miss Beelzebub Likes by matoba (a pen name — this is how the author is credited) is a completed manga series with a definitive ending. There’s no ambiguity here.

To understand how it ended, it helps to know how manga publishing works: manga chapters are first published individually in magazines on a regular schedule (this process is called serialization), and those chapters are later collected into book-form volumes that you can buy. The final chapter of As Miss Beelzebub Likes ran in the June 2020 issue of Monthly Shonen Gangan, a monthly Japanese manga magazine published by Square Enix (the Japanese media and entertainment company). Volume 12, the last collected volume, released in Japan on July 10, 2020.

The word “shonen” in the magazine’s name refers to a category of manga traditionally aimed at young male readers, though in practice these series — especially romance-heavy ones like this — attract readers of all backgrounds.

The series originally began serialization in the August 2015 issue of Monthly Shonen Gangan, giving it a roughly five-year run from start to finish.

For English-language readers, the full series has also been released. Yen Press — a US-based publisher that translates and releases manga in English — published all 12 volumes, with the final volume hitting shelves on June 1, 2021. That means there’s zero lag — every chapter that exists in Japan is available in English.

One more thing worth knowing: no sequel manga has been announced. The story reaches its natural conclusion in Volume 12, and matoba moved on. If you’re the type who likes to start a series only when it’s finished, this one checks that box perfectly.

Does the Romance Between Beelzebub and Mullin Get a Satisfying Ending?

This is the question romance readers really want answered, and I’ll keep this spoiler-free while still giving you what you need to hear.

The central romance between Beelzebub and Mullin reaches a clear resolution in the final volume. Volume 12 contains the series’ climactic chapters — Chapters 77 through 82 plus a designated Final Chapter (a specifically labeled closing chapter that wraps up the story) — and the relationship between the two leads is not left hanging or ambiguous.

If you’ve been reading (or watching the anime) and wondering whether the slow-burn dynamic between the fluffy, airheaded Beelzebub and the earnest, easily flustered Mullin actually goes somewhere — it does. The gentle, comedic tone that defines the series carries all the way through to the ending. Readers who fell in love with the warm, low-stakes humor and the gradually deepening feelings between the leads should find the conclusion satisfying.

Without giving away specifics, the final chapters feel like a natural extension of everything the series built rather than a rushed wrap-up. The payoff matches the pace — if you enjoyed the journey, the destination won’t disappoint. For a manga built around whether two characters will finally come together, the ending delivers on that promise.

How Many Volumes Make Up the Complete Series

The complete run of As Miss Beelzebub Likes spans 12 volumes (a volume is a collected book of chapters — think of each one as a single book in the series) in both the original Japanese edition and the English translation.

Here’s a quick reference:

Detail	Info
Total volumes	12
English publisher	Yen Press (US-based manga publisher)
Age rating	Rated T (Teen) by the US publisher
Format	4-koma style romantic comedy (four-panel strip layout)
English release status	All 12 volumes available

At 12 volumes, it’s a very manageable length for a complete romance series. You could realistically read the whole thing in a few dedicated reading sessions. And since the series is fully available from Yen Press with no gaps in availability, collecting it is straightforward — you won’t have to hunt down rare or missing volumes.

The 4-koma format gives the series a lighthearted, gag-comic rhythm on the surface, but there’s genuine romantic progression underneath all the comedy. Character relationships develop and deepen across the full 12-volume run, building toward the resolution in the final volume.

The last volume wraps everything up nicely, containing the closing stretch of chapters and the designated Final Chapter that brings the story to its conclusion.

The Anime Adaptation and Where the Manga Goes Beyond It

As Miss Beelzebub Likes received a 12-episode anime adaptation that aired from October through December 2018. For readers who may not know: anime adaptations are animated TV versions of the manga, and they typically cover only a portion of the original story. That’s exactly the case here.

Since the anime ran for only 12 episodes while the manga spans 12 volumes (with chapters running well beyond where the anime leaves off), readers who come from the anime will find a significant amount of additional story in the later manga volumes. The relationships deepen, new character dynamics emerge, and — most importantly — you get to see the actual ending of the romance, which the anime doesn’t reach. The manga is the only way to experience the full story, including how the central relationship between Beelzebub and Mullin is ultimately resolved.

No second season of the anime has been announced, and given that the manga has been finished since 2020, it seems unlikely at this point. If you watched the anime and want to know how things end, picking up the manga is the path forward.

As for the author, matoba has worked on other manga as well. If you enjoy their art style and storytelling sensibility, it may be worth looking into their other works after finishing this series, though As Miss Beelzebub Likes remains their most well-known title internationally.

Where to Start Reading As Miss Beelzebub Likes

The best place to start is exactly where you’d expect: Volume 1, reading in ascending order through Volume 12.

Even if you’ve already watched the anime, starting from Volume 1 is a good idea. The manga includes material and details that the anime condensed or rearranged, and since this is a character-driven romance, those quieter moments between the leads are part of what makes the series work. You’ll appreciate the ending more if you’ve experienced the full buildup.

All 12 volumes are available from Yen Press in both print and digital formats. For digital readers, Yen Press manga is typically available through major digital storefronts and reading platforms, so you should be able to find it on whichever digital service you already use. The Teen rating makes it accessible for a wide range of readers — the humor is gentle and the romantic content stays sweet rather than explicit.

Since the entire series is complete and readily available, there’s no complicated reading order or side stories you need to track down. Pick up Volume 1, read straight through to Volume 12, and you’ll get the complete experience from the first chapter to the Final Chapter. For a finished romance manga at only 12 volumes, it’s one of the easier series to collect and complete without any confusion about what to read or in what order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is As Miss Beelzebub Likes a romance manga?

Yes — it is absolutely a romance manga. It’s a romantic comedy set in a demon world (specifically, a fictional realm called Pandemonium that exists within the story’s universe). The story centers on the relationship between Beelzebub, a powerful but adorably fluffy and scatterbrained demon lord, and Mullin, her devoted attendant who harbors feelings for her. Despite the supernatural setting, the romance is warm, wholesome, and full of comedic misunderstandings. The 4-koma format (four-panel comic strip layout) gives it a lighthearted, gag-comic rhythm, but there’s genuine romantic progression underneath all the comedy. And since the manga is finished, that romantic progression reaches a real conclusion.

Will there be a Season 2 of the anime?

As of now, no second season has been announced. The anime aired in late 2018, and the manga (which is the original source material the anime was based on) has been finished since 2020. With several years having passed since both the anime and the manga’s conclusion, a second season appears unlikely. If you want to see how the story ends, the manga is the way to go — it’s the only format where the complete story exists.

Is the English translation of the manga complete?

Yes — all 12 volumes have been published in English by Yen Press. The final volume (Volume 12) was released on June 1, 2021. You can buy and read the entire finished manga right now without waiting for any future releases. The English edition matches the Japanese edition volume-for-volume, so nothing has been skipped or left untranslated.
