Shonen Jump Features Many Long- Running Megahits
In the realm of Manga, where failing shows are often shelved, anything roughly 140 chapters or more is usually regarded as a long run and reasonably successful. Naturally, One Piece is difficult to match having crossed the quadruple-digit milestone in its Anime and manga. The same holds true for Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia. Fans must consider alternative choices, though, with One Piece's final ending not too far ahead and the later two about to close call.
Many long-running shows fulfill this criteria and would satisfy readers yearning various facets of these huge Shonen Jump Manga hits. With the series presently fighting for the top Shonen Jump slot, people desiring action from Jujutsu Kaisen and comedy from One Piece will love the thrills of Sakamoto Days' retired hitman antics. Fans shouldn't, however, settle only for action either.
Big hits for weekly Shonen Jump are coming-of-age and slice-of- life.
Given that Shonen Jump is mostly meant for younger readers to grow up with their fictitious counterparts, it is not surprising that coming-of- age stories are a major attraction for it. This was the case with Hikaru no Go and persists in modern times such as Blue Box and Akane-banashi. Every one of them is a great recommendation in the Shonen Jump library: Blue Box offers sports drama and high school romance. Being about a young professional storyteller in the art of rakugo, Akane-banashi is a masterwork in narrative.
But slice-of- life is always a seductive subgenre in Shonen Jump; recent releases like RuriDragon's wonderful comeback and Psych House's wacky interpretation of X-Men appeal. These offer a consistent, comforting form of enjoyment free of the hype and general mythology of other manga. But the excitement is a strong tool in Shonen Jump, producing new megahits that don't need to approach the triple-digit level for fans to see its run as a major hit manga.
The Biggest Series Shonen Jump Has Is All Ending in 2024; Here's What You Should Be Reading Next
Readers of Shonen Jump manga may apparently always find an active pipeline releasing waves of the newest trendy series to follow. But in 2024, the most popular shows such Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia will inevitably end, which should make readers think about which younger series they should next follow.
Unsurprisingly, new series continue to gather popularity since fans have latched onto several genre-defining hits throughout the decades with Shonen Jump series including Dragon Ball, Naruto, and Jujutsu Kaisen. The range of genres these shows cover—from romance to action, humor, slice-of-life, and horror—is rather fascinating.
Kagurabachi's Deathgrip on Manga Reader Hype
Unquestionably the newest fresh big hit for Shonen Jump, Kagurabachi's wild, viral, overnight success in its first chapter was first sought as a source of memes for its extremely edgy presentation. Producing and planning manga such as Kagurabachi for a hit with the readers is challenging. Still, with so much ambition to get an Anime adaptation, it soon enthralled the readers.
But Kagurabachi's existence begs another issue: would another two manga accompany it to be named the latest Big Three? It could be illogical to anticipate such a progressively obsolete phrase to be employed when genres outside of Kagurabachi's action are accepted more and more. Kagurabachi is a complement but not a whole replacement for other manga Shonen Jump provides, with the others listed still somewhat significant in the journal.
Never forget branching into other genres.
Readers who only follow particular genres will find themselves in a box, reluctant to explore new series beyond their comfort zones once their favored Shonen Jump manga ends. People might find manga they otherwise missed as isekai is becoming more and more popular and desire for slice-of-life and even athletic stories has a strong niche. Once a hit Shonen Jump adaptation ends, there's nothing wrong with exploring the manga medium; many people's path into the fandom ends here.
Once the buzz for the current hot-ticket series fades, such a compromise is always a good choice; remember that this hype cycle may always be replaced with something else. It's good to divide out the Big Three as a lighthouse for new readers wondering what to check out and critical darlings that go unjustly unappreciated. The spice of life is variation; manga meets all kinds of tastes in its multibillion-dollar business well after the end of the most recent popular Shonen Jump series.
