Shueisha’s *Weekly Shonen Jump* announced that several new manga series will launch this month. This also suggests that some existing series will likely be cancelled soon. The magazine has been undergoing significant changes recently, as it’s been searching for new, popular titles to replace recently ended flagship series. While some new manga have been successful so far this year, many others haven’t quite reached that level of popularity.
So far this year, eight manga series have been cancelled in Shonen Jump, and over ten more will end in 2025. Following the recent cancellation of Jun Furukawa’s Kaedegami, even more series are expected to be cut. This is because three new series are launching after successful introductory chapters. Therefore, we can expect at least two more cancellations before the end of the month.
Shonen Jump to Launch Three New Series Through October
Shueisha announced on X (formerly Twitter) that three new manga series will debut in the magazine over the next three weeks. First up is “Gonron Egg” by Tanizaki Shuhei, followed by “Tonari no Osoegawa” by Hideaki Nabe, and then “JK Yuusha to Inkyo Maou” by Hatsubina Matsuri. Official English titles haven’t been announced yet, so the names may change when they’re released internationally. With these new series launching so close together, some existing series will likely need to be discontinued to make space.
It’s difficult to predict which current Shonen Jump series might be cancelled. Even promising series like *Kaedegami*, which was cancelled after just 17 chapters, can be cut short. Newer series that have only been running for a few weeks – such as *Ping Pong Peril, Ekiden Bros, Harukaze Mound*, and *Otr of the Flame* – are particularly vulnerable. Series that have been running for less than a year, like *Ichi the Witch*, are also at risk. Ultimately, a series’ fate depends on how well it’s being received by Japanese fans.
Who Do Shonen Jump Series Get Cancelled?
I’ve noticed that *Shonen Jump* is a really tough environment for manga artists. The magazine demands a new chapter every week, which puts a lot of pressure on creators. Because of this, each new installment feels incredibly important – it can really determine whether a series continues or not. Shueisha, the publisher, doesn’t always give series a long time to prove themselves. Some get cancelled after only a few chapters, and even those that run for a year sometimes don’t make the cut.
A series’ success in Japan really comes down to fan reception, as sales play a big role in its continuation. However, even strong sales aren’t a guarantee, because Shueisha, the publisher, sometimes decides to give a series time to gain popularity regardless. Ultimately, it’s a bit of a gamble and depends on many factors.
