Shonen Jump’s Latest Series About to End Is Also One of Its Biggest

by

For nearly five years now, Weekly Shonen Jump has been witnessing the culmination of some of its major manga titles like Jujutsu Kaisen, Haikyuu, My Hero Academia, and Demon Slayer. It appears another one of its blockbusters is approaching its conclusion soon. Although the magazine still hosts several manga to ensure its longevity, there are currently more ending mangas than fresh series with enough appeal to fill the vacancy they leave behind. Coincidentally, Sakamoto Days has been experiencing a surge in popularity lately, making its termination even more disheartening.

The upcoming week will see the commencement of Shonen Jump’s “Sakamoto Days” final battle, as shown in issue #36. Although this indicates that an ending is approaching, it’s important to note that the climactic conclusion may take several months to unfold, potentially extending into late 2021 or beyond. Regretfully, the news of the manga’s impending end is bittersweet since the current arc and its anticipated confrontations are shaping up to be the most thrilling yet. Buckle up, fans, as we prepare for an exhilarating final showdown!

Sakamoto Days’ Final Arc Could Be Its Best

In the upcoming Weekly Shonen Jump Issues 36 and 37, the climactic “Final Battle” of SAKAMOTO DAYS by Yuto Suzuki will commence.

Fans had already sensed that the series was nearing its conclusion, and this announcement essentially confirmed it. The upcoming chapter, titled “The Battle Begins”, hinted at what lay ahead. With key players like the new JAA, ORDER, Uzuki, Nagumo, Sakamoto, and others poised for a fierce final showdown, Sakamoto Days is preparing to kick off its climactic battle. Additionally, previous characters might reappear in this storyline, following the tradition of many Shonen Jump final arcs, offering more excitement.

Sakamoto Days has been steadily gaining popularity as one of Shonen Jump’s top manga titles now, although it had always been a significant part of the magazine, its surge in fame didn’t happen until after the release of the highly successful anime adaptation. The first season is currently Netflix’s most-watched anime from the first half of 2025 and also one of last year’s top-streamed shows. The second season is continuing to thrive.

Shonen Jump’s Biggest Manga Are Going Out One By One

Apart from blockbusters such as “Jujutsu Kaisen” and “My Hero Academia”, the magazine has consistently featured strong manga like “Undead Unluck” and “Mission: Yozakura Family” in the recent past. It’s also worth noting that “Blue Box” and “The Elusive Samurai” may not have many chapters left, so fans shouldn’t be surprised by an announcement of their conclusion soon. While it’s clear that “Kagurabachi”, “Ichi the Witch” (and to some extent “Akane-Banashi”), will receive the magazine’s full attention, there’s also a need for lesser-known but consistent stories to find a home in Shonen Jump.
