The Final Ritual: Tokyo Ravens Light Novel Series Reaches Its Conclusion
After a decade-long journey through the shadows of modern-day Tokyo and the intricate world of Onmyodo, the Tokyo Ravens light novel series is officially coming to a close.

For long-term readers, the 18th volume represents the culmination of years of political intrigue within the Onmyo Agency and the resolution of the tragic destiny surrounding the reincarnations of Yakou Tsuchimikado. As the winter release date approaches, fans are bracing for a conclusion that promises to tie up the remaining mysteries of the spirit world.
