While Skilled Teaser Takagi-san made teasing your desk neighbor in school a popular anime premise, My Neighbor Seki had already been there and done that.
However, while My Neighbor Seki was a creative comedy, it didn’t have that much needed romantic element to make it something a broader audience could really grasp on to. Or rather, it does have that element, but it is very subtle about it while Takagi-san beat you about the ears with it.

The anime adapts 12 chapters of a total fourteen chapters in Volume 3.
What to Expect From The My Neighbor Seki Manga?
The My Neighbor Seki anime skips a lot of chapters. As it is a episodic comedy series, this isn’t too big of a deal, but it skipped enough that you would find an above average amount of value in just reading the manga from the beginning.
Is The My Neighbor Seki Manga Over?
The My Neighbor Seki manga is complete. It ended in 2023 with Chapter 129.
You can also enjoy the completed sequel manga, My Neighbor Seki Junior, which is about Yokoi (who is now Seki’s wife) playing with her toddler-aged child. My Neighbor Seki Junior is a completed manga with 31 chapters.
Will There Be A My Neighbor Seki Season 2?
As the My Neighbor Seki anime aired in 2014 and both the core manga and its sequel are also completed, another season seems unlikely.
