The final chapter made it 1% more likely. In my heart. This series got me interested in physics back in high school, and now it's over.

^ It feels like the end of an era with this series. I believe the final volume was released this month, Volume 21. So after 19 years, it’s officially over.

^^ Yeah, Also Railgun actually has two sequel spin-offs right now. Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Gaiden: Astral Body is complete with 4 volumes, and its sequel Toaru Kagaku no Mental Out currently has 4 volumes released and is still ongoing. I own the physical editions of both series, and they’re really fun to read. They follow a fairly similar format to the main story, balancing comedy, seriousness, and plot, but each focuses on a different perspective, one from a Level 5, and the other from a member of Misaki’s clique.
