Is the Anime Really Finished?#
When looking into whether the anime adaptation of Acchi Kocchi (released under the title Place to Place) is finished, it is important to distinguish between the animated series and the source material.
While the anime Place to Place provides a snapshot of the story, the original Acchi Kocchi manga began in 2007 and continued to appear in Japanese comic rankings as late as 2017. Because the manga remained active and ranked years after the 2012 anime release, viewers who want the full, definitive conclusion to the story will likely need to continue with the source material.
