Bite Maker: AK ends on May 30 on Biccomi
Fans now have a firm date. The official X (formerly Twitter) account for Miwako Sugiyama’s Bite Maker: AK (Area Kanazawa) announced on Saturday that the sequel will conclude on Shogakukan’s Biccomi platform on May 30. Readers can head to Biccomi to catch the final chapter when it drops.
The post serves as a clear series finale announcement, laying out where and when the story will finish. It did not share extra details about bonus pages or an epilogue. Those items are not yet confirmed.
With May 30 Biccomi set, the countdown is short and exact.
Bite Maker: AK launched on Shogakukan’s Manga ONE app in May 2023. The title continues Sugiyama’s world from Bite Maker: The King’s Omega. That original ran in &Flower starting October 2018 and ended in December 2022.
Shogakukan later published the 11th and final volume in March 2023. Seven Seas licensed the manga and released the final volume in July 2024. The sequel’s placement within that timeline gives readers a clean bridge from the first saga to this Area Kanazawa arc.
The Bite Maker AK ending therefore marks a capstone to the two-part narrative that readers have followed across apps and digital magazines.
For collectors, Shogakukan shipped the fifth compiled book volume of Bite Maker: AK on November 26. Neither a sixth volume nor a final volume schedule has been announced; such details are not yet confirmed. When the Bite Maker AK manga ends on Biccomi, fans will also be watching for any news on print collections and extras from the author.
Sugiyama’s career spans several romance titles, including Ai no Kotoba (2007) and True Love (2012). This finale adds another completed work to that list while closing out the sequel. Until further updates arrive, the date to remember is May 30 on Biccomi.
How Bite Maker: AK connects to Bite Maker: The King’s Omega
Miwako Sugiyama positioned Bite Maker: AK squarely as the direct successor to the franchise. The series is the sequel to their Bite Maker: The King’s Omega, picking up the mantle after the original run concluded. Sugiyama launched the first Bite Maker in Shogakukan’s digital magazine &Flower in October 2018 and wrapped it in December 2022.
Shogakukan then published the 11th and final volume in March 2023, and Seven Seas brought that final volume to readers in July 2024. With that foundation set, AK arrived with a Manga ONE launch May 2023 on Shogakukan’s app, signaling clear series continuity for fans who had followed the earlier story into its collected editions.
The official X account for Bite Maker: AK announced that the manga will end on Shogakukan’s Biccomi platform on May 30. When the Bite Maker AK manga ends on May 30, it will close this sequel phase where readers have followed its digital serialization from launch to finale. Shogakukan shipped the fifth compiled book volume on November 26, charting steady progress for the collected release.
The final volume count, the number of chapters included in the last book, and any post-finale extras are not yet confirmed. The run will wrap on Shogakukan’s Biccomi platform on May 30, giving readers a firm date for the conclusion.
As a sequel to The King’s Omega, AK fits neatly after the original’s serialization and final volume, extending the franchise before drawing to a close of its own. That timeline lets readers move from the 2018 to 2022 arc into AK without a long gap, reinforcing series continuity across apps and books. Sugiyama’s body of work also includes Ai no Kotoba from 2007 and True Love from 2012, underscoring a steady publication record that now reaches another milestone with AK’s finale.
Details about any further editions beyond the fifth volume are not yet confirmed.
What the ending means for volumes and for Miwako Sugiyama
Shogakukan shipped Bite Maker AK volume 5 on November 26. Final volume information has not yet been announced, so collectors should watch Shogakukan’s listings and the series’ official X account for a post-finale volume schedule, any bonus content, or a cover reveal tied to the last chapters.
The original series concluded with 11 volumes, capped by a March 2023 release in Japan, and Seven Seas brought the final volume to English readers in July 2024. By comparison, Bite Maker AK volume 5 sets the floor for the sequel’s shelf count, but the publisher has not confirmed the endpoint.
