Shonen Jump Shocks Fans by Cancelling Popular Series After Just One Year!

by

This year, Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from Shueisha is experiencing a significant transformation, and it’s decided to terminate another unexpected series after approximately a year of publication to pave the way for new content. Over the past year, Weekly Shonen Jump has undergone major adjustments due to some of its longest-running franchises coming to an end. The final episodes of popular titles like “My Hero Academia” and “Jujutsu Kaisen” concluded at the end of last year, and this year has seen the ends of other long-lasting series such as “Undead Unluck” and “Mission: Yozakura Family.

Essentially, Shueisha is entering a fresh phase of manga serializations where they’re possibly seeking additional foundations to sustain series alongside established giants like “One Piece”. With the magazine aiming to introduce more new series to foster emerging talent, it also implies some existing ones must conclude. This is what’s happening with Shun Numa’s “Super Psychic Policeman Chojo”, which will end with the next issue of Shonen Jump.

Super Psychic Policeman Chojo Ends With Shonen Jump

Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from Shueisha has concluded Shun Numa’s “Super Psychic Policeman Chojo” with Chapter 65, which was published on June 5th. The series debuted in Shonen Jump back in February 2024, marking a run of approximately sixteen months. This is a relatively extended period for the series that not many fans have been keeping up with during its publication, and it surpasses the duration of some popular series that received more attention and were recently canceled, such as Ken Wakui’s “Astro Royale.

Considering the circumstances, this Shonen Jump run is quite decent. It outshines many series that concluded prematurely with fewer than 30 chapters, and others that ended even more abruptly, without much opportunity to attract fans. However, as Shonen Jump gears up for a significant change by introducing numerous new creators and concepts this summer, it implies that some borderline series are being phased out to create space for the fresh content.

What’s Going on With Shonen Jump?

The same issue that marked the conclusion of “Super Psychic Policeman Chojo” also signaled the arrival of four brand-new series this summer by Shueisha. This is quite a significant change in direction for the magazine, as it’s been quite some time since they’ve been so proactive about introducing new series. Fans can expect a fresh wave of content with these new additions, which is a refreshing change given how many existing series have recently concluded.

Over the past few years, several manga series have either wrapped up their stories naturally or been abruptly ended in Shonen Jump. Consequently, the magazine is gearing up for a significant transformation in the coming times. Fresh titles like “Ichi the Witch” by Osamu Nishi and Shiro Usazaki, as well as newer sensations such as “Kagurabachi,” are capturing readers’ attention more profoundly with each new chapter. As fresh series debut and others conclude, it’s exciting to see which ones will resonate most strongly with fans in Shonen Jump moving forward.
