Updated July 25, 2025, by Lucas Simons:With the manhwa release season finally concluding, there are a few other series of note that ended during the last month of 2024, and some of them are more than worth a read.I Regressed As The Dukehit an abrupt roadblock and was called for cuts. On the other hand,No Home,a drama/comedy school-life manhwa about ‘problematic children’ banding together to survive a cruel world, has finally concluded.
10I Regressed As The Duke
Left Too Many Loose Ends
I Regressed As The Dukestarted asthe typical reincarnation manhwa, but it featured a twist. It included the ‘body switch’ trope, where the main character switched bodies with his employer, Duke Aaron Brahn. Ultimately, this leads to a thrilling plot fed by the mystery of reincarnation, which was not entirely explained.
Sadly, the manhwa ended abruptly around chapter 129 with a bittersweet ending that offered some closure for fans expecting to see some romance. That said, there were way too many questions left unanswered. As such, if readers pick this series up, they should not expect an easy or entirely conclusive trip.
9No Home
A Rounded Up Ending
Haejoon Goh and Eunyung Baek end up living together, and despite them both being miserable at first, a beautiful friendship blooms between them.

The coming-of-age story ofNo Homeis a perfect depiction of how endangered youths live day-by-day, and though it is narrated with a lighthearted tone and a little bit sugarcoated, the situations depicted in it are very real. This manhwa, ending with chapter 269, is worthy of all the accolades it has earned.
