Is the Anime Really Finished?#
If you are wondering whether the anime adaptation of They’re Calling for You, Mr. Azazel provides a complete experience, the answer depends on how much of the story you want. While there are multiple anime series spanning from 2010 to 2013, the original source material—the manga—continued long after the anime concluded.
News reports indicate the manga reached a conclusion around 2018, though interest in the series remains high with new chapters appearing as recently as 2023. Because the anime consists of a primary adaptation, an alternate retelling, and a sequel, you will get a good sense of the characters, but those seeking the full narrative arc should buy the manga to see how the story truly unfolds.
