In 2025, Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine experienced a significant shake-up, with ten major titles concluding their runs within a single year. The year began with the magazine undergoing substantial changes, following the conclusion of two long-running and popular series – “My Hero Academia” and “Jujutsu Kaisen” – towards the end of 2024. The turbulence continued in 2025, as more series came to an end, with some reaching a natural conclusion, while others were cancelled to make way for new additions to the magazine.
In simpler terms, the current edition of Shonen Jump magazine has terminated another manga series, specifically Suganuma Tatsuya’s Nice Prison. This series ended prematurely after only 19 chapters, having been in serialization for just a few months. Regrettably, this is one of ten series that have concluded in the year 2025 alone. However, most of these conclusions were due to cancellations rather than the creators choosing to end them on their own terms.
Shonen Jump Ends Its 10th Manga Series in 2025
With Nice Prison being cancelled this week, Shonen Jump’s ended series in 2025 include:
- Undead Unluck
- Mission: Yozakura Family
- Hakutaku
- Astro Royale
- Syd Craft: Love Is a Mystery
- Super Psychic Policeman Chojo
- Star of Beethoven
- Embers
- Kill Blue
- Nice Prison
Regrettably, out of the ten series that concluded, only three – Undead Unluck, Mission: Yozakura Family, and recently Kill Blue – were given a proper ending by Shonen Jump. Some discussion exists about whether the other series reached their natural endings, as they appeared to be hurriedly concluded, but at least it’s better than the fate of the seven others that were cut short.
The comic series “Astro Royale: Craft Love is a Mystery” and “Syd” had a decent run, with the former lasting an entire year of serialization before it was cancelled, allowing for some story arcs to be developed. However, other series such as “Nice Prison” didn’t even reach the 20th chapter before being concluded prematurely. As the year progresses, there may be more cancellations or proper endings for other series.
What Does This Mean for Shonen Jump’s Future?
The number of cancellations and conclusions within Shonen Jump magazine this year suggests a less than optimal health picture, yet simultaneously, its franchises continue to thrive with new successes. Despite the absence of some long-standing pillars, fresh series are gaining traction among fans. For instance, ongoing hits like “Kagurabachi,” “Ichi the Witch,” and “Hima-Ten!” are celebrating their first year of publication, and newly introduced series are already generating buzz.
Shows such as “Kaedegami, Otr of the Flame” and sequels from franchises like “Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo” have a strong potential to maintain their stories for a considerable duration, suggesting a robust future for the magazine. This longevity might be more indicative of the magazine’s vitality compared to just one year’s worth of conclusions, as there are many other series that are gaining momentum.
