During 2024, the magazine underwent several changes, including the success of new works like Kagurabachi and the end of iconic franchises like My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen . Now, another major title in the magazine is also nearing its end.
Among the 2024 endings, fans were already speculating that the next series to conclude its trajectory would be Mission: Yozakura Family , by Hitsuji Gondaira. Thus, after working intensely on its final arc over the past year, Shueisha announced that the series' climax will arrive in the next issue. There are only one or two chapters left to definitively conclude the story, possibly including a special epilogue.
Mission: Yozakura Family end ?
The final arc followed the intense battle between the Yozakura Family and Asa. As the chapters progressed, the plot not only concluded the confrontation but also set the stage for the characters' future. During the final arc's time jump, Taiyo and Mutsumi got married, but fans didn't see the event unfold throughout the series. This special moment was reserved for the emotional final chapter.
In Chapter 257 , the manga introduced the Cherry Blossom Promise Ceremony , bringing together family and friends to celebrate Taiyo and Mutsumi's vow renewal. Despite tensions between Kyoichiro and Taiyo, Kyoichiro finally accepted Mutsumi's husband, now that she has found happiness away from the burden of her past. This event promises to be one of the biggest celebrations in the series.
What does this end represent for Shonen Jump?
Therefore, with the conclusion of Mission: Yozakura Family , the magazine bids farewell to yet another series from decades past. After this milestone, titles like One Piece and Hunter x Hunter remain as the only legacies of the earlier era. Among the more recent series, names like Undead Unluck and Sakamoto Days represent the magazine's future.
The conclusion marks the beginning of a new era for Shonen Jump , paving the way for new stories to captivate readers and achieve the same success. Finally, stay tuned to AnimeNew to find out what the magazine's next big phenomenon will be.
