Shonen Jump Announces Sudden End of Two Major Releases

by

Shueisha, the publisher behind popular manga, is seeing some shifts as several long-running series conclude. Recently, they announced the endings of two major titles from their Jump+ platform. This follows a trend of established Shonen Jump series finishing up, with some being cancelled and others concluding naturally as planned by their authors. It’s a new period for Shueisha, marked by the end of many well-known franchises.

Two manga series on Shueisha’s Jump+ app are nearing their conclusion. Unlike the main magazine, Jump+ has less strict requirements for success, and as noted by @WSJ_manga on X, both The Trembling Right Hand by Riki Someya and Toyotaka Haneda, and Kemonokuni by Kei Tsuchiya, will end with their next chapters. One of these series has been running for a significantly longer time than the other.

Shonen Jump+ Confirms Two More Series Will End Soon

The manga series The Trembling Right Hand, created by Riki Someya and Toyotaka Haneda, will conclude with its 17th chapter. While not entirely unexpected, as the story felt repetitive recently with sudden, disjointed plot points, the ending will arrive next week. It appears this series was at risk of being cancelled, so fans will soon see how the authors wrap things up.

Kei Tsuchiya’s Kemonokuni is ending with chapter 80, but unfortunately, it hasn’t been widely available to fans outside of Japan. Unlike The Trembling Right Hand, it hasn’t received an official English translation and isn’t available online. This means many fans won’t be able to read the ending, and the series hasn’t gotten much attention overall. While it could have continued longer, its conclusion is less well-known.

What’s Going on With Shonen Jump in May 2026?

Shueisha’s Shonen Jump is undergoing significant changes. The main Shonen Jump magazine has already ended five series, and four of those were canceled before reaching 20 chapters. Other Jump magazines are also seeing series conclude, with Yuki Tabata’s Black Clover finishing in Jump GIGA, and Seraph of the End by Takaya Kagami, Yamato Yamamoto, and Daisuke Furuya announcing its final volume.

Several popular manga series in Shonen Jump are wrapping up over the next year. Sakamoto Days and Blue Box are already in their final storylines, and the creator of Hima-ten! has announced that series is also nearing its end. This will bring significant changes to the magazine soon, creating opportunities for new manga to gain popularity.
