There are only one or two chapters left to definitively wrap up the story, possibly including a special epilogue.
How does Mission: Yozakura Family ?
The final arc followed the intense battle between the Yozakura Family and Asa. As the chapters progressed, in addition to concluding the confrontation, the plot prepared the ground for the characters' future. During the time jump of the last arc, Taiyo and Mutsumi got married, but fans didn't see the event throughout the series. That special moment was reserved for the emotional final chapter.
In chapter 257 , the manga brought the Cherry Tree Promises Ceremonial , bringing together family and friends to celebrate Taiyo and Mutsumi's vow renewal. Even with the tensions between Kyoichiro and Taiyo, the brother finally accepted Mutsumi's husband, now that she has managed to find happiness away from the weight of the past. This event promises to be one of the biggest celebrations of the series.
What does this end represent for Shonen Jump?
