Shogakukan is listing the 18th volume of Kotoyama's Yofukashi no Uta ( Call of the Night ) manga as entering the manga's final arc. The volume will be released on November 17th.
Synopsis
Kou Yamori looks like a typical high school student on the surface. Relatively good at studies and kind to his classmates, he goes to great lengths to maintain this facade. One day, however, he decides to stop pretending and drops out of school, developing insomnia due to not having a daytime outlet for his energy. When he goes for a walk alone at night, he feels a little better, although he knows that his inability to sleep should be considered a serious problem.
On one of these walks, Kou meets a strange girl, Nazuna Nanakusa, who diagnoses the cause of his insomnia: despite having made changes in his life, she continues to prevent him from experiencing true freedom. She tells him that he won't be able to sleep if he isn't satisfied with the way she is spending her waking hours. When it appears he has resolved his current concerns, Nazuna invites him to share her futon in her apartment. After a while, unaware that he is just pretending to be unconscious, she leans over him and bites his neck.
