2025’s first week issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine has seen a significant change with another major series concluding after five years, just a week after bidding its final farewell. The shift in the content of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump was evident in 2024 as two of its popular action franchises from the 2010s, Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia and Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen, came to an end. As the year drew to a close, it was also confirmed that fans would be parting ways with two more long-running manga series as well.
Towards the close of 2024, enthusiasts eagerly anticipated the approaching conclusions for both Hitsuji Gondaira’s “Mission: Yozakura Family” and Yoshifumi Tozuka’s “Undead Unluck.” However, what took many by surprise was how swift these endings would be. Last week marked the conclusion of “Mission: Yozakura Family,” which had been running for six years in the magazine, and now, just a week later, “Undead Unluck” has also come to an end. With the publication of Chapter 239, the manga run of “Undead Unluck” officially concluded after five years with Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.
How Does Undead Unluck End?
In Chapter 239 of the Undead Unluck series, we find ourselves at the conclusion of Tozuka’s five-year journey. Given the recent announcement that this saga was nearing its end, it feels fitting that we witness the climax here. The narrative has led us to a monumental battle between Fuuko and Andy, which undeniably stands as the most significant fight in the series thus far. In the previous chapter, the aftermath of this epic conflict unfolded as those once afflicted with extraordinary powers finally regain their normal lives. As we reach the final installment, each character embarks on a path towards a content and fulfilling future.
The concluding part of the manga titled “Undead Unluck” unfolds some time after the decisive fight, providing a closing glimpse at each character. They all gather for what appears to be an important wedding ceremony, but notice that both the bride and groom are delayed. As it turns out, this is the nuptials of Fuuko and Andy. With unwavering assurance, they believe they will show up exactly when the other arrives. In this lengthy finale, Fuuko and Andy get married and vow to embark on a lifetime of exhilarating adventures together.
What Is Happening to Shonen Jump?
Due to the recent conclusion of “Undead Unluck” and “Mission: Yozakura Family”, Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is experiencing a rapid shift. Besides perennial favorites like “One Piece” and the occasionally sporadic “Hunter x Hunter”, all active series in the magazine that publish weekly are from the 2020s. This indicates a youthful and vibrant pool of talent within the magazine, yet it also prompts questions about the enduring impact that older series in the magazine once held.
In recent times, the teams responsible for popular TV series seem to be able to produce hits more swiftly compared to the past, such as the extended run of “My Hero Academia”. Series like “Sakamoto Days” and “Kagurabachi”, which have gained popularity recently, may only last around five to six years before they conclude. This rapid production pace could lead to more focused, impactful storytelling, but it might bring up concerns about their lasting impact as recognizable brands beyond the magazine. Only time will reveal the answers.
