Urban Myth Dissolution Center: Parallel File (*Toshi Densetsu Kaitai Center: Parallel File*) is finished. Emi Ishikawa's manga ended in the December issue of Shueisha's shoujo magazine Ribon, which came out on Monday, per Anime News Network. Ishikawa announced it on X.
The short version
The manga started in Ribon in April 2025 and reached three volumes. Volume 3 shipped August 19. It adapts Urban Myth Dissolution Center, the pixel-art occult mystery game from Shueisha Games. In it, Azami Fukurai joins a center that investigates urban legends, run by the Level S psychic Ayumu Meguriya. The game launched on Steam in February 2025 and on iOS and Android in March. A Nintendo Switch 2 version followed on October 28, with Joy-Con 2 mouse controls and an art gallery.
Worth noting
Putting the manga in Ribon rather than a shonen magazine was a smart move. The game's pull is its two leads, which suits Ribon's readership. It ending a few days after the Switch 2 port reads like a planned handoff: the comic carried the story during the original release window, and now the game's new platform takes over. No anime has been announced. If one is, the mystery-of-the-week format would suit it well.
