Is the Anime Really Finished?#
When deciding whether to dive into My Master Has No Tail (also known as Uchi no Shishō wa Shippo ga Nai), the most important thing to consider is the timeline between the anime and its source material.
The anime adaptation premiered on September 30, 2022. However, the original manga continued well after the anime’s release, eventually coming to an end in January 2024. Because the manga concludes nearly a year and a half after the anime began streaming, viewers who only watch the anime may find themselves wanting more. To get the full, definitive conclusion of the story, you will likely need to transition to the manga.

Audience and Appeal#
While specific plot details are limited, My Master Has No Tail appeals to fans of manga-to-anime adaptations who enjoy series with a completed source material. The production features voice talent such as Junya Enoki, adding to its professional appeal. It is a great choice for those who prefer knowing that a story has a definitive end before they start, as the manga has officially concluded.
