The final round of the site's 2nd Seinen Tournament 2025 pits two historically-set series against each other: In the Shadow of the Queen – The Story of William Cecil, which narrowly beat The Witch of Souls 50.63% to advance, against The Mysteries of Kaika Residence, which more decisively beat The Invisible Wars with 55.42% of the vote. The tournament features 32 seinen titles whose first French volume came out in 2025, paired by alphabetical order (first vs. last, etc.) based on their Japanese classification, to keep matchups as objective as possible; the winner would be announced the following Tuesday.
