Shonen series are some of the absolute biggest in the manga industry, and Weekly Shonen Jump has platformed many of these iconic series. However, in recent years, manga series have been getting shorter, and it's now considered a miracle for stories to be over 300 chapters. Another big hit for Shonen Jump is ending soon, and fans are, expectedly, very disappointed.

Many Big Shonen Jump Series Have Already Ended

Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia Both Ended Last Year

Weekly Shonen Jump is definitely the most iconic manga magazine. Weekly Shonen Jump has released some of the biggest household names in all of manga—a few examples being One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, and Dragon Ball, among many others.

However, recently, many big-hit manga series have ended one after the other. Just last year, two of Shonen Jump’s biggest series, Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia, ended back-to-back. This was a huge hit for the magazine, and at this point, not many big series remain. The most notable series that are still ongoing are One Piece, Dandadan, and Sakamoto Days. However, one of these is ending soon as well.

Sakamoto Days Nears Conclusion As Manga Enters Its Final Battle

Another Big Shonen Jump Series is Ending

Sakamoto Days just got its first anime season, but sadly, the manga is already ending. The series had captivated many and was one of Shonen Jump’s most popular series in recent years. It was decently popular even before any anime adaptation was out. Sakamoto Days could have definitely been far bigger than it is right now had it received a better adaptation.

Regardless, Sakamoto Days is now entering its final battle, and it’s only a matter of time before the series ends. Soon, an ending date for the series will be revealed.

Overall, the series ended up being rather short. When the series ends, it will probably have around 240 chapters, which is insignificant compared to some heavy hitters like One Piece and Naruto. Manga series are getting shorter and shorter in Weekly Shonen Jump.
