Masamune-kun’s Revenge Manga Volumes: Full Guide (2026)

So you’ve heard about Masamune-kun’s Revenge — maybe you caught the anime, maybe a friend recommended it, or maybe you just want a fun romantic comedy manga that’s already finished. Whatever brought you here, the manga volumes for this series have an unusual structure, and it’s worth understanding before you start buying. The short version: there are 13 volumes in Japanese and 11 in English, with the gap explained by a final storyline that hasn’t been translated yet.

The good news? The story is complete, and most of it is available in English. Let’s sort out exactly what you’re looking at.

How Many Manga Volumes Does Masamune-kun’s Revenge Have?

Here’s the quick answer:

• Japanese edition: 13 volumes, published by Japanese publisher Ichijinsha
• English edition: 11 volumes, published by Seven Seas Entertainment

The series was serialized in Monthly Comic REX (a Japanese manga magazine) and is fully completed. Serialization began in October 2012, with the first compiled volume releasing in May 2013, and the final volume arriving in December 2023 — though that long timeline is a bit deceptive, since the story came out in distinct segments over the years rather than running continuously. The gaps between segments were hiatuses — periods where the manga wasn’t being published — which is why a series that could fit in thirteen volumes stretched across more than a decade.

Masamune-kun’s Revenge is a romantic comedy set in a school, written by Hazuki Takeoka with art by Tiv. The premise is petty in the best possible way: a boy who was rejected and humiliated as a kid transforms himself and enrolls at his tormentor’s school to make her fall for him — so he can break her heart in return. Naturally, things don’t go according to plan.

The English edition from Seven Seas covers the main story and a bonus side-story volume. The two-volume gap between the Japanese and English editions exists because the final segment of the series — called the “engagement” storyline — has only been released in Japanese. More on that below.

The English volumes carry an age rating of 13–18 years, so it’s appropriate for teens while still having enough bite for older readers.

What Each Part of the Series Covers

One thing that trips people up about Masamune-kun’s Revenge is that it isn’t just one continuous story from volume 1 to volume 13. It’s actually broken into three distinct segments:

Main Story (Volumes 1–10)

This is the core of the series — the revenge romance between Masamune Makabe and Aki Adagaki. It’s where you get the setup, the scheming, the comedy, the rivals, and ultimately the resolution of the central relationship.

Volume 1 establishes everything: Masamune’s childhood humiliation, his physical transformation, and his enrollment at Aki’s school with revenge on his mind. The early volumes are heavy on comedy and misunderstandings as Masamune tries to get close to Aki without revealing his true identity or intentions.

By the midpoint — around Volume 5 — the story starts layering in complications. New characters throw wrenches into Masamune’s plans, and both leads begin to develop in ways that make a simple revenge plot feel a lot messier and more human.

Volume 10 wraps up the main story. Without spoiling how things land, this is where you get your resolution to the central question the series has been building toward since page one.

If you only read ten volumes of manga from this series, these are the ones.

After School (Volume 11)

After the main story concluded, Takeoka and Tiv put together a collection of shorter, self-contained bonus chapters set after the events of Volume 10. In the English release, this is labeled as Vol. 11 – After School.

Think of it as a dessert course. The main meal is done, and these shorter stories give you a chance to spend a little more time with the cast in lower-stakes situations. It’s a nice cooldown after the emotional buildup of the main story’s final stretch.

This volume is available in English from Seven Seas, so English-only readers can enjoy it without any issues.

Engagement Storyline (Volumes 12–13, Japanese Only)

Years after the main story and After School wrapped, the series returned with a continuation focused on — as you might guess from the name — an engagement storyline. (In manga, a “storyline” or “arc” just means a connected chunk of the larger narrative with its own beginning, middle, and end.) These were published as Japanese volumes 12 and 13 by Ichijinsha, with Volume 13 releasing in December 2023.

Here’s the important part: this storyline is currently only available in Japanese. Seven Seas has not released an English edition of volumes 12 or 13. For English-only readers, Volume 11 (After School) is where the published English story ends.

If you read Japanese or are willing to work through it with a dictionary, you can pick up the Japanese editions. Otherwise, Vol. 11 provides a satisfying stopping point.

A Weekend Marathon Plan

Eleven English volumes (or thirteen if you’re reading in Japanese) means this series is very doable in a weekend or a few dedicated evenings. Here’s how to break it up with natural stopping points:

Session 1: Volumes 1–4 — Setup and Early Comedy

This is where you get hooked or you don’t. The premise drops, the characters establish themselves, and the comedy is at its broadest. Four volumes is a comfortable first sitting — maybe two to three hours depending on your reading speed.

Session 2: Volumes 5–8 — Complications Mount

The rivalry deepens, new players enter the picture, and both Masamune and Aki start showing sides of themselves that complicate the neat little revenge plan. This is the stretch where the series finds its emotional footing alongside the comedy. At a similar pace, expect another two to three hours.

Session 3: Volumes 9–10 — Climax and Resolution

The main story builds to its conclusion across these two volumes. You’ll probably tear through them quickly once you hit the momentum of Volume 9 — an hour to an hour and a half should do it. Don’t start these right before bed unless you’re fine staying up late.

Session 4: Volume 11 (After School) — Cooldown

After the intensity of the main story’s ending, the After School bonus chapters are a perfect wind-down. Lighter, lower stakes, and a chance to say a more relaxed goodbye to the characters. Under an hour for this one.

Optional Session 5: Volumes 12–13 (Engagement) — Japanese Readers Only

If you can read Japanese, the engagement storyline gives you one more round with the cast. Since these aren’t available in English, this session is only for bilingual readers or those willing to import the Japanese editions.

Manga vs. Anime — What the Adaptation Covers

Masamune-kun’s Revenge has two anime seasons. (The anime is based on the manga — the manga is the original source material, and the anime retells that story in animated form.)

• Season 1 aired starting January 2017 and covers the early portion of the manga
• Season 2, titled Masamune-kun’s Revenge R, aired starting July 2023 and continues the story further

If you watched both seasons and are wondering what’s left, here’s the key thing to know: the anime does not cover the After School bonus chapters (Volume 11) or the engagement storyline (Volumes 12–13). Those remain manga-exclusive content.

For anime-first readers coming to the manga, you’ll find that reading the full series from Volume 1 is still worthwhile. The manga’s storytelling gives you more room with the characters and includes details and scenes the anime abbreviates or leaves out. But if you’d rather jump ahead to the parts the anime didn’t reach, the After School volume and the Japanese-only engagement storyline are where you’ll find new material.

Which Edition Should You Buy?

Here’s a quick comparison of your options:

Feature	English Edition	Japanese Edition
Publisher	Seven Seas Entertainment	Ichijinsha
Total Volumes	11	13
Includes Main Story	Yes (Vols. 1–10)	Yes (Vols. 1–10)
Includes After School	Yes (Vol. 11)	Yes (Vol. 11)
Includes Engagement Storyline	No	Yes (Vols. 12–13)
Format	Print (digital availability varies)	Print and digital
Age Rating	13–18 Years	—

For English-only readers: The Seven Seas edition is your go-to. Eleven manga volumes gets you the complete main story plus the After School bonus material. That’s a satisfying package — the main revenge romance has a clear ending, and the bonus chapters give you a nice epilogue feel. You can find these at major bookstores and online retailers.

For bilingual readers: If you can read Japanese and want every last chapter, you’ll want the Ichijinsha editions of volumes 12 and 13 for the engagement storyline. Everything else is available in either language.

A note on digital: The English volumes are available in print. Digital availability may vary by platform, so check your preferred retailer (Kindle, Kobo, BookWalker, etc.) to see what’s currently offered. (BookWalker is a digital storefront that specializes in manga and light novels, if you haven’t encountered it before.)

At eleven volumes for the English edition, this isn’t a huge investment compared to longer-running series. You can collect the whole thing without needing a dedicated shelf.
