After entertaining readers for more than a decade, Ukami’s beloved comedy manga Gabriel Dropout is officially coming to an end.
The announcement was made in the September issue of Kadokawa’s Dengeki Daioh G magazine, which confirmed that the manga will conclude with its next chapter.
Gabriel Dropout first began serialization on December 27, 2013, in Dengeki Daioh G. The series was initially published every other month before switching to a monthly serialization schedule in April 2014.
By the time its final chapter is released, the manga will have run for nearly 13 years, making it one of the magazine’s longest-running comedy titles.
Kadokawa published the manga’s 16th compiled volume in September 2025.
A Comedy About an Angel Who’d Rather Play Games
The series follows Gabriel White Tenma, a top-class angel who descends to Earth with the mission of guiding humanity after graduating from angel school. However, her plans quickly fall apart after discovering online video games, turning the once-perfect angel into a lazy shut-in who spends her days gaming instead of helping people.
The comedy revolves around Gabriel’s everyday life alongside a colorful cast of angels and demons, blending supernatural elements with slice-of-life humor.
The series is licensed in English by Yen Press, which describes the story as:
“A fallen angel with falling grades! Gabriel White Tenma has descended from heaven to attend high school and guide humanity, but a newly found video game addiction might say otherwise.”
The manga received a 12-episode television anime adaptation produced by Doga Kobo, which aired from January to March 2017.
Directed by Masahiko Ohta with series composition by Takashi Aoshima, the anime introduced Gabriel and her friends to an even wider audience and was simulcast internationally by Crunchyroll. Two original video animation (OVA) episodes were later released alongside the Blu-ray and DVD volumes.
The franchise also expanded with the spin-off manga Tapris SugarStep, focusing on the character Tapris, which began serialization in 2018.
The conclusion of Gabriel Dropout will mark the end of a series that has entertained fans with its unique take on angels, demons, and everyday comedy for nearly 13 years. Bookmark Otaku Mantra for more anime news and updates!
