Everything You Need to Know About Girlfriend, Girlfriend#
If you are looking for a romantic comedy that pushes the boundaries of traditional dating, Girlfriend, Girlfriend (also known as Kanojo mo Kanojo) is a wild ride. The story follows Naoya, a young man deeply in love with his girlfriend, Saki. Despite his vow never to cheat, he finds himself in a predicament when the sweet and helpful Nagisa confesses her feelings to him. Rather than choosing one, Naoya attempts a “logical” solution: asking Saki for permission to date both of them simultaneously.
If you’re considering diving into this series, you might be wondering if the story is complete or how to tackle the available content. Here is the full breakdown.
Is the Anime Really Finished?#
Whether the anime provides a fully satisfying conclusion depends on your preference for the medium. The Girlfriend, Girlfriend anime consists of two seasons, with the first debuting in July 2021 and a sequel following in October 2023.
However, for those who want the absolute definitive ending, the source material is the way to go. The original manga, which ran from March 4, 2020, to May 24, 2023, is officially finished. If the anime leaves you craving more or wanting to see how the chaotic relationship dynamics finally settle, you can buy the manga to see the story through to its conclusion. Kodansha USA has even announced an omnibus print edition for those who prefer collecting their volumes in a more substantial format.
