3 Major Shonen Jump Manga That Ended in 2026, Ranked by Their Endings

by

Wow, 2026 was a huge year for Shonen Jump! As a long-time fan, it was a bit shocking to see not one, not two, but three major series wrap up. It feels like more and more manga are ending pretty quickly these days, with new titles finishing their runs faster than ever before. So, when three of Jump’s biggest names actually concluded, it really felt like a big moment for the magazine and for all of us fans!

Several popular manga series recently finished, starting with Modulo, a spin-off of Jujutsu Kaisen, in early March. Chainsaw Man Part 2 ended later that month, and most recently, Black Clover concluded after more than ten years. These endings sparked varied reactions from fans, so we’ve ranked them based on how well they suited the stories and how positively they were received.

3) Chainsaw Man

It’s hard to argue that Chainsaw Man Part 2 wasn’t a disappointment, and some even consider it one of the worst endings for a Shonen Jump series in recent years. The ending felt rushed and lacked depth, leaving many fans feeling like the entire story hadn’t really led anywhere. Many are still hoping for a continuation, even as the final volume is released.

The ending is particularly frustrating because it doesn’t give Denji what he’s always wanted: a girlfriend. If the series gets any extra content, like a bonus chapter, it really needs to address this to make the ending feel less disappointing.

2) Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo

The series Modulo built upon the success of the original Jujutsu Kaisen, giving it a solid start. The return of familiar characters also hinted at a satisfying conclusion. The story delivered on that promise, with the new main character, Maru, teaming up with Yuji to bring about significant changes within the world of Jujutsu.

As a huge fan, I have to say the ending of Modulo really stuck the landing! It felt much more satisfying and complete than how the original Jujutsu Kaisen wrapped up, and honestly, it gave me the conclusion I was really hoping for. That being said, it wasn’t flawless – there are still a bunch of questions buzzing around in my head, and I’m definitely left wanting more.

1) Black Clover

Black Clover is a hugely popular manga series from Weekly Shonen Jump, and it consistently followed the familiar shonen storyline. From the beginning, the story was headed towards a predictable but satisfying conclusion – the classic battle of good versus evil – and it delivered on that promise. What really resonated with fans, though, was how the finale gave them the moment they’d been waiting for.

The last parts of Black Clover finally showed the showdown between Asta and Yuno, which was a satisfying end to their long-running competition for the title of Wizard King. Many fans felt this rivalry and their ultimate battle were even more impactful than the final fight between Naruto and Sasuke in Naruto. The ending of Black Clover was a traditional but effective way to wrap up a popular series, and it’s considered by many to be one of the best conclusions to a Shonen Jump manga in recent years.
