Regarding the source material, the Morose Mononokean manga officially ended on April 8, 2021. As for the anime, there are two seasons available. Because the manga continued for a period after the anime’s production, viewers who watch only the animated series may find themselves wanting more. To get the full, satisfying conclusion to the story, you will likely need to transition to the source material.
