I’ve noticed Weekly Shonen Jump has cancelled another series this year, and they’re rapidly approaching ten cancellations for 2025 already. It’s been a big year of change for Shueisha, the publisher. After losing popular titles like My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen last year, and then Undead Unluck and Mission: Yozakura Family earlier this year, Shonen Jump seems to be actively searching for new series that could potentially run for as long as those big franchises did.
The recent cancellation of Daiki Nono’s Ekiden Bros brings the total number of series cancelled in Shonen Jump magazine this year to nine. Adding that to the three series that finished their run naturally, twelve series have ended in the magazine so far in 2025, and it’s likely more will be cancelled before the year is over. This indicates a period of significant change for the magazine is still ongoing.
Shonen Jump Has Now Ended 12 Series This Year With New Cancellations
Daiki Nono’s manga series, Ekiden Bros, has been cancelled after just 17 chapters, as reported earlier this week. It’s disappointing to see it end so soon, before reaching the typical 20-chapter mark – a threshold that’s becoming less common. While the sports series didn’t fully capture a large fanbase, its cancellation adds to a surprisingly high number of series ending in 2025 in Shonen Jump magazine.
Here’s a rundown of the Shonen Jump series that concluded in 2025, whether through cancellation or natural ending:
- Undead Unluck
- Mission: Yozakura Family
- Hakutaku (Cancelled)
- Astro Royale (Cancelled)
- Syd Craft: Love Is a Mystery (Cancelled)
- Super Psychic Policeman Chojo (Cancelled)
- Star of Beethoven (Cancelled)
- Embers (Cancelled)
- Kill Blue
- Nice Prison (Cancelled)
- Kaedegami (Cancelled)
- Ekiden Bros (Cancelled)
What’s Going on With Shonen Jump?
Several popular manga series are nearing their finales, including Yusei Matsui’s The Elusive Samurai, which has hinted at its upcoming conclusion. With these endings, and Shueisha’s plans to launch two new series this fall, we can expect further changes to the magazine’s lineup. However, it’s more probable that these changes will involve cancellations rather than series concluding their storylines naturally.
It’s not uncommon for manga series to be cancelled prematurely, as seen with titles like Super Psychic Policeman Chojo, which is getting an anime despite its manga being cut short. Shueisha’s editors sometimes end series before they can gain a large fanbase, though a few are fortunate enough to run long enough to build momentum. It’s a bit of a gamble, and the manga industry is very competitive.
