During 2024, the magazine went through several changes, including the success of new works such as Kagurabachi , by Takeru Hokazono, and the end of iconic franchises such as My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen . Now, another major title in the magazine is also coming to an end.
Among the closures of 2024, fans were already speculating that the next series to complete its trajectory would be Mission: Yozakura Family , by Hitsuji Gondaira. Thus, after working intensely on its final arc over the last year, Shueisha announced that the climax of the work will arrive in the next edition. 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?
Therefore, with the end of Mission: Yozakura Family , the magazine says goodbye to yet another series from past decades. After this milestone, titles like One Piece , by Eiichiro Oda, and Hunter x Hunter , by Yoshihiro Togashi, remain the only legacies of the ancient era. Among the most recent series, names like Undead Unluck and Sakamoto Days represent the future of the magazine.
The conclusion marks the beginning of a new era for Shonen Jump , opening space for new stories to captivate readers and achieve the same success. Finally, follow AnimeNew to find out what the magazine's next big phenomenon will be.
