Minami Mizuno's Rainbow Days Manga Approaches 'Climax'

The February issue of Shueisha's Bessatsu Margaret magazine revealed on Friday that Minami Mizuno's Nijiiro Days (Rainbow Days) manga is approaching its climax (Note: The word "climax" written in the phonetic katakana alphabet often refers to the final chapter of a manga.).

The manga centers on a group of four male high school students who are close friends: Natsuki, Tomoya, Keiichi, and Tsuyoshi. The four boys have no club activities, and they hurry through their studies so they can spend their days having fun. Their main topic of interest: love. Natsuki has an unrequited crush on Anna, a girl from another class, and his friends keep meddling in their relationship.

Mizuno launched the manga in Bessatsu Margaret in the February 2012 issue. Shueisha published the 14th compiled book volume in December. The manga inspired a drama CD that Shueisha bundled with a limited edition of the seventh volume in October 2014. The manga then inspired a television anime that premiered in January 2016. Funimation streamed the anime as it aired in Japan. The manga's 13th volume also bundled an original anime DVD last September.​
