Thanks to the success of several long-running serializations such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, etc., Weekly Shonen Jump became the best-selling manga magazine of all time. Launched in 1968, this iconic magazine has serialized countless incredible manga series and one-shots over the years. Shueisha’s most famous magazine thrives even after several decades since it was first launched, especially considering how trends have changed significantly from the past. Now, most series barely even reach 300 chapters before concluding their stories, including industry hits such as Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen. Each year, the magazine also includes several new series in its roster, which naturally means that just as many manga will have to be axed to make room. Normally, the magazine waits around a year for a manga to release 40–60 chapters and at least a couple of volumes to see if it’s worth continuing. However, there are also times when a few series, regardless of how promising they may be, end up being discontinued in around 20 chapters due to low viewership and reader ratings. Gonron Egg is one such example, as the series will reach its finale on March 29th, 2026, with its Chapter 21. While there may be more cancellations along the way, the magazine will debut three exciting series from returning creators, including Hideaki Sorachi, the creator of Gintama.
