Taken from Ah! My Goddess/Aa Megami-sama Manga to End in April - News - Anime News Network (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-03-19/ah-my-goddess/aa-megami-sama-manga-to-end-in-april)

The May issue of Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine is announcing on Monday that Kousuke Fujishima is ending his Aa Megami-sama (Ah! My Goddess/Oh My Goddess!) manga in the following issue on April 25. The June issue will also have a "super-important announcement."

Seems one of the longest running series I care about is finally going to pass into history. I think for a long time many readers of AMG have question when this day would come after the series hit milestone not to loong ago. For one I noticed Fujishima-san was slowing down and doing more odd plot points with AMG, so maybe this is a good thing in the end.

No word if this means he is retiring from character creation (Tales series) or just manga. I think he was trying to do another series while AMG was gong oin, but I haven't seen much of it of late. Have to wonder what this "super important June announcement" will be...

O.O NOOOO!!!

Seriously though, I'm really surprised that Fujishima kept it going for so long, as I'd heard rumours ten years ago that he was wanting to wind the series up. I mean, if the actual chronological order of events in the manga matched the actual publication date, Keiichi would be in his early forties by now! I just wonder how the series is going to end - whether K1 and Bell will actually marry, or maybe, if a ton of bad fanfiction would have you believe, he gets 'ascended' into godhood or something stupid. Anyway, thank you for this info - as a huge AMG fan it's disappointing to hear this, but I've been expecting it to happen eventually.
