Why Was Oshiawase ni, Konyakusha-sama Canceled? Full Explanation
Oshiawase ni, Konyakusha-sama was canceled in March 2026 after plagiarism allegations involving traced artwork surfaced shortly after its serialization began.
Oshiawase ni, Konyakusha-sama began its manga adaptation around December 2025 under Kodansha's Isekai Palcy label, with Matsurika serving as the illustrator. The series was distributed through platforms such as Palcy, Getsumaga Kichi, and Comic DAYS.
However, in early March 2026, readers began pointing out numerous similarities between the artwork and other manga series, leading to growing controversy. Around the same time, notices were posted announcing the temporary suspension of distribution on platforms including Pixiv Comic.
On March 31, 2026, the editorial department of Monthly Shonen Magazine officially announced the end of the serialization and the removal of the series from all distribution platforms. Matsurika also acknowledged the issue, admitting that some of the artwork had gone beyond acceptable reference use and constituted imitation.

In addition, some anonymous readers (such as those leaving reviews on Amazon) have pointed out that “there are parts of the work that bear a striking resemblance in art style and composition to a shōjo manga series that has been serialized by Hakusensha for nearly 20 years.”
It seems the manga *Oshiawase ni, Konyakusha-sama* was canceled due to the artist's plagiarism, and the project to adapt this work into a manga has apparently been scrapped entirely...

It is true that the original author is Gorogoro Mikan, but what is most heartbreaking is that this scandal was caused entirely by the artist’s unilateral decision, and the author herself bears no blame whatsoever.
It is simply too unfair that, due to a serious violation of the terms of service—specifically, the tracing of another work’s artwork—the original story, which was created with such care and dedication, is now being forced off the stage as if it were collectively responsible.
The fact that the project has been scrapped means that the track record built up through the serialization so far, as well as the support from readers, has been reduced to nothing in an instant. As a fan, I am at a loss for words when I consider how the author must feel.
The fact that the original creator—who should be beyond reproach—is being forced to apologize due to the negligence of the editorial department and the artist, who are supposed to be the ones protecting the work, highlights the difficulties of protecting intellectual property rights in today’s manga industry.
As a reader, I cannot help but sincerely hope that one day—even if in a different form—Gorogoro Mikan’s wonderful worldview will receive the recognition it deserves and shine with new brilliance once again.
Final Thoughts on Oshiawase ni, Konyakusha-sama
In conclusion, Oshiawase ni, Konyakusha-sama was canceled and ended earlier than expected.
Overall, several factors discussed above likely influenced how Oshiawase ni, Konyakusha-sama ended.
This situation was caused by the illustrator’s actions, not the original author, making the outcome especially unfortunate for the person who created the story, characters, and world.
Having a project end for reasons beyond their control must have been deeply disappointing, and many readers hope that Gorogoro Mikan. will soon be able to continue creating new works in an environment where their efforts can be properly recognized.
It may still be worth checking out for yourself.
