5 Major Shonen Jump Manga Ending in 2026 (Ranked By How Soon the Finale Hits)

by

Several popular manga series from Shonen Jump are heading towards their conclusions, meaning we can expect a lot of finales this year. Shueisha’s magazine has seen many of its long-running titles end recently, and now series that began in the late 2010s and early 2020s are also wrapping up their stories as they enter their final arcs.

Several popular manga series in Shonen Jump are nearing their conclusions, with creators either announcing final storylines, indicating they’re in the endgame, or showing clear signs of wrapping up. As we move further into the year, it’s becoming apparent that some of these long-running titles might not last until 2027. Here’s a look at the Shonen Jump series that fans should watch for potential endings.

5). Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi

Shoichi Usui’s Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi follows a traditional Shonen Jump formula. The manga recently concluded a large-scale battle, resulting in Kiyoshi achieving his highest rank as an exorcist. Like previous storylines, this arc felt like a final showdown, but a new adventure immediately began afterward.

The series is currently at a turning point. Its current conflict could either launch a much larger storyline lasting throughout the year, or it could be resolved quickly in the next installment. This unpredictability is why it currently ranks lowest on our list.

4). Witch Watch

Kenta Shirohara’s Witch Watch began the third and final part of its story late last year. While the series is wrapping up its main conflicts with key characters, there are still several months of new chapters planned. Because of the series’ length and numerous side stories, there’s even a possibility it could extend beyond the final battle, but it’s definitely a series worth following.

3). Sakamoto Days

As a huge fan of Sakamoto Days, I was excited and a little sad to hear last year that we were heading into the final arc! Yuto Suzuki has been delivering some amazing battles as we approach the end, and it’s been great seeing Sakamoto back in action. We’re just eagerly awaiting his ultimate showdown now, as the other conflicts are starting to resolve themselves one by one.

I’m really excited to see how these fights are going to finish, and especially how things wrap up for Sakamoto and the rest of the crew! The big question now is whether there’s enough story left to keep going all the way to 2027, or if we’ll get a conclusion to everything this year. It’s definitely something I’m keeping a close eye on!

2). Hima-ten!

Genki Ono announced that the manga Hima-ten! is nearing its conclusion, starting with Volume 9 released last April. Recent chapters confirm this, as the main character, Tenichi, has now rejected the romantic advances of two key female characters. With only one confession left to address, the series is expected to end shortly.

We’ll likely find out soon how long the final confession and Tenichi’s reaction will take, and there’s still room for unexpected twists in the romance. However, this story won’t last until 2027 – it’s almost certainly ending this year unless the author unnecessarily prolongs it.

1). Blue Box

The manga Blue Box by Kouji Miura is nearing its conclusion, potentially as soon as this week. Miura announced last December that the series was approaching its end, and that’s become clear as the protagonist, Taiki, has reached the championship match of his final high school tournament. The most recent chapter shows this match reaching its peak, with characters reflecting on Taiki’s influence on their lives.

Most sports manga fans can tell when a series is wrapping up – it usually happens when all the characters’ storylines are coming to a close. Now, it’s Taiki’s turn to have his story finished, and it’s going to be emotional. Fans should prepare themselves for a quick and impactful ending in the next few weeks.
