That's a poll we could do, do you think HxH will return this year?

2020 has been such a crazy year. Why not betting on it.

Plot twist: Togashi announces his retirement from the manga industry, leaves HxH incomplete

Given his health problem, I wouldn't be surprised. It's why I'd much rather prefer him taking his time.

 

[tirakai]

I still maintain that HxH's main story actually finished 7 years ago, and we're on part 2 now (like Jojo parts).

This op color page looks incredible

Yes

 

[Minsel]

hard prediction here but my bet is in september
1) burn the witch will start
2) 1 new manga will start
3) HunterxHunter will return

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Predicting this right now since issues 28-31 covers are going to be the newbies:

Issue 32 is going to be almost 100% My Hero Academia for the 6th anniversary.

 

[Koni]

Funny you mention that since that had epilogue chapters in Jump NEXT!!...either that or it had extra stuff on the Volume release, don't remember all that well.

Really? I’d like to read them, if I can find it.

 

[James Rye]

Kurapika's Bizaare Adventure

to becoming a woman, marrying Leorio, having a house in a peaceful village and raising a happy family together.
Yeah, sounds quite bizarre to me. XD
Honestly though, I don't see HxH returning this year. Maybe next year we are luckier.

You might already have read them. It ended in Shonen Jump with 28 chapters, but the Volumes go to chapter 31.

 

[Lil meen]

Saw the final chapter of Yuuna. Waiting for translations but damn.

That was disappointing. I'll make one last comment about it, before I fully move on to getting myself hyped about Ayakashi Triangle.

EDIT: I'm going back and reading Koisome Momiji, that honestly had a better ending.

Seriously what’s up with shonen jump and crappy endings.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

You know how much Boruto sold this week? @Ryuusei

This is bsaically the whole industry. Gantz still for me the worst ending that i read (The whole final chapters were pretty terrible too)

 

[savethecat]

Seriously what’s up with shonen jump and crappy endings.

In general it’s just very difficult to end a serious after running it for years.

On top of that it’s very rare that you get someone like Oda who has a solid idea of how everything will end earlier on.

I’d imagine most mangaka for a weekly Shonen series comes into a magazine with an exact idea of how things will wrap up.
But after years and years making new chapters, editorial meetings, etc. what they want to do with the story evolves as things go on.

 

[Stivie]

Seriously what’s up with shonen jump and crappy endings.

I like Kimetsu no yaiba's ending, I don't think the ending is bad.

 

[tirakai]

Of series this decade Kimetsu no Yaiba and Ass Class both had really good and fitting endings. WNL should be great too as long as it does actually give each girl their own volume. Zumou's was fine too, nothing amazing but certainly not bad either.

I'd say we're about 50/50 on good to bad endings. recently.

 

[NeeNeen]

M+ published a 100 chapters of Bleach this time.

I’m pretty sure it’s 60% action, 20% romcom and 20% ecchi.

I think the editors pretty much forced Yabuki to put in a significant amount of ecchi. To be honest though, I’d rather it have 30% romcom with the rest being ecchi, about the same amount Black Cat did.

It's been a while since I read it, but I don't remember Black Cat being either ecchi or romcom.

It's still weird though. I understand the problem when a series gets axed suddenly, but these long-time authors usually have plenty of time to think about how they want to wrap things up.

Toriko had the best ending in recent years

 

[Lil meen]

It had fan service but it is honestly just as bad as other shonen battle manga, way to tame to be considered ecchi.

For me personally my favorite shonen jump ending this past decade was definitely assassination classroom. With a lot of jump series (not all of course but still a lot imo) the endings are mediocre at best. However asassination classroom I couldn’t think of a better ending. It was extremely emotional and satisfying and that is the ending I feel a lot of shonen jump series should strive for.
