The December 2019 issue of Manga Time Kirara Forward announced on Thursday that Norimitsu Kaihou and Sadoru Chiba's Gakkougurashi! (School-Live!) manga will end in the magazine's next issue. The January 2020 issue will publish the 78th and final chapter on November 22.

Synopsis
Yuki Takeya loves her school so much that she does not want to ever leave! Megurigaoka High School is a unique and lively place where Yuki enjoys her carefree life as a third-year high school student and member of the School Living Club. The club, consisting of the president Yuuri Wakasa, the athletic Kurumi Ebisuzawa, the mature junior Miki Naoki, the supervising teacher Megumi Sakura, and the club dog Taroumaru, prides itself on making the most of life at school. However, this illusion of endless bliss is just a bubble waiting to be burst because Yuki is unable to perceive what is truly happening around her. In reality, all is not as it seems—the real purpose of the School Living Club is to escape from the shocking and disturbing truth: the girls are in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and have barricaded themselves inside the school as the sole survivors.

Based on the manga by Kaihou Norimitsu, Gakkougurashi! follows a group of girls who are forced to adapt to a post-apocalyptic life all by themselves. They have no means of contact with the outside world and are surrounded by hostile undead waiting to devour them. The girls must not only contend with the challenge of survival; they must also strive to maintain a false appearance of normality in Yuki's presence. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Kaihou and Chiba launched the zombie survival manga in Manga Time Kirara Forward in May 2012. The manga had entered a six-month hiatus from July to December in 2017. Houbunsha published the 11th volume on January 12 (pictured). Gakkougurashi! has a cumulative 2.5 million copies of its compiled volumes in print.

Lerche produced a 12-episode television anime adaptation in Summer 2015. Crunchyroll simulcast the show with subtitles as it aired in Japan. Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime series in North America and released it on Blu-ray and DVD with an English dub in June 2017.

Yen Press licensed the manga in English in 2015 and published the tenth volume on February 19. The 11th volume will go on sale on October 29.

A live-action film based on the manga opened in Japan on January 25. The film inspired a four-episode prequel drama series, titled Gakkou XXX: Mou Hitotsu no Gakkougurashi!, which streamed on Amazon's Prime Video service on January 16.

Was thinking about reading this a year or two ago, but was worried about series length cuz it was still ongoing...
luckily 11 volumes seems safe enough to me, so I'll probably give it a read soon

I'm going to miss this series so much. I hope the final chapter will have a satisfying ending.



It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long

I loved this manga but stopped reading it as chapters came out too slowly and I always forgot what happened whilst waiting for the next. Now that it's coming to an end I'll definitely pick it back up.

Does anyone know if there will be another launch, or maybe some kind of spin-off? Or is this the final conclusion?

A sequel has just been announced.
