We haven t experienced the end of so many popular titles all at once since 2013, when 13 series with an anime concluded. What makes this list even more striking is the prominence of those titles in the light novel landscape. This year saw the conclusion of the long-running bestseller The Devil is a Part-Timer! and the prestige title Fortune Quest, a fantasy series that started all the way back in 1989. My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected, which defined light novel romcoms for a decade, technically ended late last year, but its third anime season adapted the conclusion of the story earlier this year. There s a feeling that the series has definitively wrapped up now.
