Uzono Shiniko manga to end with fourth volume

Kadokawa’s official product listing confirms that the fourth collected volume of Uzono Shiniko Hōkoku (右園死児報告), also titled Uzono Shiniko Report, will be the manga’s final volume. The book is scheduled for release in Japan on 7 January 2027. ¹

The series is written by Bunkichi Majima, with Gonbe Shinkawa handling the manga artwork and Asahiro Kakashi credited for the storyboard composition. The fourth volume is listed at 162 pages and is priced at ¥979, before tax, in Kadokawa’s product details. ¹

Uzono Shiniko Hōkoku follows an investigation into a bizarre phenomenon in which changing the name of a person, animal or inanimate object to “Uzono Shiniko” attracts disaster. The final volume’s synopsis describes the investigation reaching its last operation, as the characters prepare to enter a sanctuary and destroy the force behind the world they have been trapped in. ¹

This is a manga ending announcement rather than news of an anime adaptation. The verified listing does not announce an anime, an English-language licence or a Western release, so none of those should be inferred from the final-volume news. The fourth volume is currently a Japanese release, with its publication date set for early January.

Our opinion

A final volume gives readers a clear point at which to catch up with Uzono Shiniko Hōkoku, especially if its unsettling premise has already put it on their radar. The official synopsis suggests the story is heading into a decisive final operation, but the listing does not spoil the conclusion. For now, the useful takeaway is simple: the manga is ending with volume four, and readers outside Japan should wait for a properly announced licence rather than assume one is on the way.

Kadokawa’s listing is the primary source for the volume number, release date, credits and synopsis. ¹
