In Japan, Shonen Jump is the largest manga magazine, and over the years it has featured many iconic series, including: dragon ball, one piece, narutoand many others. But now the golden age of magazines seems to be coming to an end. In 2024, Shonen Jump was defeated. Do a jujutsu and My Hero AcademiaIt is now 2026, Chainsaw Man Part 2furthermore Jujutsu: Modulo A conclusion has also been reached. Shonen Jump may be going through some major challenges, but it's also the perfect opportunity for new series to shine.
We Receive Disappointing Updates for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, Part 2
JJK Season 3 has received a major update that could result in a significant decline in the quality of Part 2.
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo and Chainsaw Man End in a row
The past few weeks have certainly been quite disappointing for Shonen Jump. First, last month, the hit sequel to the original, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, was released. J.J.K. The series would get three consecutive color covers in Weekly Shonen Jump. Fans were excited, but of course there was also an underlying concern that the series was coming to an end. In fact, that turned out to be true when Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo Chapter 25 was revealed to be the last of the series.
Fans were sad to see Modulo go, especially so hastily, but what's worse is that another iconic manga from Shonen Jump announced its demise this week as well. Chainsaw Man Part 2. Chainsaw Man isn't known for releasing a final chapter out of the blue, so it definitely caught fans off guard. I was especially surprised because it seemed like the comic wasn't over yet. Regardless, this week marks the end of Chainsaw Man Part 2.
Impact of the loss of two major franchises on the magazine
Shonen Jump has continued to lose large series. With endings like Modulo and Chainsaw Man, it seems like the magazine is never the same. In addition to the conclusion of Modulo and Chainsaw Man Part 2, fans should remember that in less than two years, two other large-scale series that had magazine runs in the 2010s and 2020s also ended in Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia. Currently, the only major series that Shonen Jump has is One Piece, which has been continuously serialized since 1997 and has established itself as the last pillar of Shonen Jump.
How Gege Akutami and Fujimoto Could Come Back in the Future
Just because Chainsaw Man Part 2 and Jujutsu Kaisen both ended back-to-back doesn't mean that both franchises are now dead. According to JJK Modulo, the editor in charge of the series issued a statement asking fans to look forward to Gege Akutami and Yuji Iwasaki's next project. In that sense, this certainly seems to be a hint at a new Jujutsu Kaisen project. This becomes more plausible given how Modulo ended, and has great potential for a new series that could be set 300 years in the future.

Meanwhile, with Chainsaw Man Part 2 concluded, it is highly likely that Fujimoto Manga will return with Part 3 simply because the conclusion is open-ended. There's no telling what Chainsaw Man Part 3 will cover or if it's even happening. But seeing as how urgent Part 2's ending was, it's definitely a possibility. Fans could see the return of this iconic series with a new plot and new characters.

Why next-gen series need to step up to fill the gap
Things like Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo and Chainsaw Man Part 2 endings, while unfortunate, aren't necessarily bad things for Shonen Jump. As the big series comes to a close, it opens up room for new ones to shine. Shonen Jump could see the emergence of a new hit series, making it the perfect time for new writers to come in and replace those who just left.
The most popular new generation manga series right now seems to be Kagurabachi and Witch Ichi. As older, more established series dwindle, more fans may be interested in trying out these newer comics.
