Grand Finale: Karin Anzai’s Hit Series Reaches Its Emotional Conclusion

The day many manga lovers have been both waiting for and dreading is finally here. Today, March 19th, marks the official release of the 17th and final volume of Karin Anzai's super popular series, "You Can't Fall in Love Just by Your Face". It is really a big moment for the fans who have been following the ups and downs of these characters for years. To make this occasion even more special, the publishers are not just releasing a regular edition. They have also launched 17 volumes of a special edition titled "You won't fall in love with just your face - Tokimeki Supply Infinity", which actually comes with a very exclusive booklet featuring a later story that you won't find anywhere else.

If you have somehow missed out on this gem, "You Can't Love Me Just by Your Face" is a heart-warming and funny romantic comedy centered around Sana, a girl who considers her own face a bit "ridiculous," and her senior Kanato, who is basically blessed with a very, very nice face. The story was serialized in the famous Hana to Yume (published by Hakusensha) from 2020 all the way to 2025. Its popularity was so huge that it even got a live-action movie adaptation in 2025, which fans absolutely loved. This series is definitely the next big romance must watch for anyone who enjoys a solid story with great character development.

Special Edition Details and Bookstore Fairs

The special edition booklet is a total treat for the loyal readers. It doesn't just have a newly drawn story, but it also includes extra stories that were published in the magazine previously. On top of that, there is a fun Q&A project where the characters answer questions directly. It is like getting one last chance to hang out with Sana and Kanato before saying goodbye.

Many bookstores across Japan and online are holding special fairs to celebrate the completion of this beloved manga. If you decide to pick up the regular or special edition of Volume 17, you will be rewarded with a 4-page leaflet where you can read an additional newly drawn manga chapter. These kinds of benefits are quite common at major outlets like TSUTAYA, Animate, Melonbooks, and Shosen. Since these are limited, you should probably check the Hakusensha official website or the store’s own page to make sure they haven't run out of stock already.

New Content: The special edition features a "Later Story" booklet that wraps up loose ends.
Limited Leaflets: Select bookstores are giving away 4-page manga leaflets with every purchase.
Character Q\&A: Get inside the heads of your favorite characters one last time.

A Virtual Wedding Ceremony to Remember

In a very unique move to commemorate the final release, Comic Natalie actually organized a virtual wedding ceremony between Kanato Ugo and Sainan Chikagi. It is quite a lovely gesture for the readers who have been watching over the couple since the beginning. They are even sending out "wedding invitations" to all the fans. It truly feels like the end of an era, and seeing why it takes more than a pretty face to fall in love has been a wonderful journey for everyone involved.
