I could be wrong, but I don’t think it is a controversial position to take that Darling in the Franxx is a triumph of storytelling and building that managed to move me in ways few other shows have managed. Honestly, the story is kind of heartbreaking. Zero Two’s borderline predatory relationship with Hiro was the highlight of the show. Because of all these reasons, fans of the series are wondering if Darling in the Franxx manga is finished.
Darling in the Franxx is so good and so close to becoming a modern classic that would leave a mark on all the story that is yet to come. In this story, all the elements are there. The plot of the story just needed a little more time to bake if only there had been a voice of a reason.
The first volume of our beloved mecha manga series was released in Japan in 2018. However, later, after four years, Seven Seas Entertainment started creating the English version of the series in a new 2-in-1 omnibus format that too under the imprint of the Ghost Ship, which, if you don’t know, is a separate section of the stories for their mature audience.
What Darling in the Franxx Is All About?
So the story of the manga series is set in the far future, where humans have started living in some kind of mobile fortress in this post-apocalyptic world, which they call Plantations. On the other hand, we also have the Pilots, who are all the children of this population living some distance away from the population of the adults.
The sole purpose of this population is to protect humanity by any means by fighting against the powerful, mysterious monsters that they call Klaxosaurs. However, considering the size of these monsters, it is not possible to eliminate them with bare hands, and that is why they developed some humanoid robots called Franxx.
The actual plot of the series opens up with a young guy named Hiro. This guy was previously known as a prodigy, but he has fallen behind, and that is why he has lost his sense of purpose and every responsibility he has. However, at the same time, we also find out that he still does not want to give up on his aim as he is so determined that he believes not being a pilot is worse than being dead.
Later in the story, we find out that a mysterious girl named Zero Two, who kind of has an unusual appearance with two horns on her head, shows up in his life. One thing that is very interesting to know about this character is that she is also known as the “Partner Killer.” This is because every guy who has worked with her in the past and who has piloted with her before dies after their third ride.
As Hiro and Zero Two are the two main characters of the story, of course, they end up being together, but not so surprisingly, it turns out to be a success. There is a lot in this messed up relationship, but for those who have not read the manga yet, we do not want to spoil it. So, let’s directly answer the question now.
Is Darling in the Franxx Manga Finished?
As we have mentioned earlier, the first volume of the manga series was published on January 14, 2018. The manga finally came to an end after two years on January 26, 2020, with the compilation of a total of 8 volumes.
The whole series is compiled only with 60 chapters, and that is why it makes it even easier to finish reading on the go.
Where To Read Darling in the Franxx?
As all the chapters of the manga are available, you do not have to wait for the next chapter. That is the reason why you can binge-read the complete manga series from the official site of their primary English publisher, Seven Seas Entertainment, and for the official raw edition, you can check out the Shonen Jump Plus website.
