The March issue of Kodansha 's Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine revealed on Saturday that Shūzō Oshimi 's Happiness manga will end in the magazine's next issue on March 9.

Kodansha Comics is publishing the manga in English, and it describes the story:

Nothing interesting in happening in Makoto Ozaki's first year of high school. His life is a series of quiet humiliations: low-grade bullies, unreliable friends, and the constant frustration of his adolescent lust. But one night, a pale, thin girl knocks him to the ground in an alley and offers him a choice. Now everything is different. Daylight is searingly bright. Food tastes awful. And worse than anything is the terrible, consuming thirst. The tiny shames of his old life have been replaced by two towering horrors: the truth of what will slake his awful craving, and high school itself.

Oshimi launched the manga in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in February 2015, and Kodansha published the manga's ninth compiled volume last November. Kodansha Comics published the eighth volume in English last November.
