Rakuten Books recently announced the upcoming finale in the January 2024 issue of Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine. This issue, releasing on a Saturday, will contain the concluding chapter of Ema Toyama’s captivating manga series “I Guess I Became the Mother of the Great Demon King’s 10 Children” (Isekai de Saikyō Maō no Kodomo-tachi 10-nin no Mama ni Nacchaimashita).
Once an average 16-year-old game enthusiast, Akari’s life turned upside down after losing her mother in a tragic accident. A year into navigating life alone, a whimsical wish on a game disc catapults her into an extraordinary world as a “priestess from another world”, tasked with an unexpected role: mothering the demon king’s ten children!
Since its debut in April 2019 in Monthly Shonen Sirius, Toyama’s series has garnered a devoted readership. As of June 8, Kodansha has released nine compiled book volumes and plans to unveil the tenth on December 7. Meanwhile, Kodansha USA Publishing has been making the series accessible to English-speaking audiences, with the eighth volume released last August 15.
In addition to her work on this series, Toyama has been prolific in her manga creations. She began the Vampire Dormitory manga in Kodansha’s Nakayoshi magazine back in November 2018, which recently resumed with its second part in December 2022 following a hiatus. The 12th volume of this series was published on November 13, with English translations also available.
Toyama’s latest venture, The Witch Maid Knows the Queen’s Secret, launched in Nakayoshi magazine in December 2022, demonstrating her continued passion for creating engaging stories.
Beyond these series, Toyama is known for her award-winning Missions of Love romantic comedy manga, which ran from 2009 to 2015 and was followed by a sequel in 2018. Kodansha Comics has been releasing several of her works, including Aoba-kun’s Confessions and Manga Dogs.
