Ayaka Katayama's Kin to Tetsu (Fungus and Iron) has concluded with its 105th chapter in the October 2026 issue of Bessatsu Shounen Magazine on Tuesday, marking the end of the series' five-year serialization.
Katayama began drawing the dystopian sci-fi suspense manga in Bessatsu Shounen Magazine in March 2021. Kodansha published the ninth volume on April 9, with the tenth and final volume set to be released on October 8. Kodansha USA licensed the manga for digital release in English in January 2022 and published the ninth e-book volume on July 21.
Katayama made her debut in 2007 after her one-shot Oni Oi no Kawa was selected for the 78th Shounen Magazine Newcomer Manga Awards. The following year, she won the Grand Prize at Shueisha's inaugural Golden Tiara Award for her sci-fi romcom manga Star Man.
Production company VAP announced a television anime adaptation of the series on March 4.
Synopsis
Dante's life on Amigasa seemed normal enough to him, even though everyone around him called him an oddball. But when a chance meeting with a young woman named Aoi changes everything, Dante can no longer sit idly by...unless, of course, he is made to! (Source: Kodansha USA)
