Lately, we’ve seen more and more manga series end or get canceled, as Shonen Jump is now focusing on stories that don’t last as long. Although some popular, long-running manga are still ongoing, it looks like several major franchises – some that have been around for over ten years – are expected to finish up this year. Here are five of the biggest series that are likely to conclude soon.
Look, I’m a big TV watcher, and I’ve seen this happen a lot – shows try to reinvent themselves and it just… doesn’t work. Think about shows like Scrubs or even Westworld – they shifted gears and, in my opinion, went downhill. But every now and then, taking a big swing actually pays off. I’m thinking of a couple of really popular sitcoms from the 2010s, and even one procedural on CBS, where changing things up actually made the show better.
I recently tried out some products from the Ascended Heroes collection and was really happy with the quality of the cards and how fun they are to play. However, getting the rare, highly sought-after cards proved difficult – I still haven’t pulled the beautiful full-art Psyduck!

Here’s a look at the most popular cards from the set and how much they’re currently going for on resale markets.

Starting February 7th, you’ll be able to watch all six seasons of Schitt’s Creek on HBO Max. The show, about a wealthy family who loses everything and has to adjust to life in a small town, has been available on Hulu since May 2022, after leaving Netflix.

The story confirms that several characters, including Nobara Kugisaki, Ui Ui, and Aoi Todo, survive for many years after the Culling Game. However, a particularly sad discovery is that Yuji Itadori can’t age. He’s no longer fully human or a curse, and can’t live a normal life with those he cares about. Following Hana Kurusu’s death, Yuji cut off all contact with his friends and disappeared. Despite the Jujutsu sorcerers’ best efforts, they couldn’t find him or ask for his assistance. Yuji eventually reappears during a battle, but he has a completely different agenda now.
Okay, seriously, you need to check out Boys Go to Jupiter! It’s this amazing animated movie that just dropped on HBO Max on February 6th, and I’m honestly shocked more people aren’t talking about it. It’s a coming-of-age story about a teenager in Florida, voiced by Jack Corbett, trying to earn five grand. I first heard about it when it premiered at the Tribeca Festival last June, and it’s been getting great reviews – it even landed a Best Animated Feature nomination from the Chicago Film Critics Association! Critics are loving it – it’s “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes with a 93% rating based on 59 reviews – but it’s still so under the radar that there aren’t even enough audience reviews yet for a Popcornmeter score. Do yourself a favor and give it a watch!
