Undead Unluck Manga Concludes: What’s Next for Fans?

by

Summary

  • Undead Unluck manga is ending with Chapter 239 on April 4, 2025.
  • Fans can expect a likely second season and a new novel released on the same day.
  • Shonen Jump may be in a “creative crisis” as new titles struggle to last over 6 years.

It’s no secret anymore, the much-anticipated conclusion of “Undead Unluck” is upon us. For some fans, the sense that the series is drawing to a close has been lingering for a while now. However, those who have been engrossed in the anime on Hulu/Disney+ are yet to fully embrace the goodbye.

I’ve been keeping a close eye on the developments in Shonen Jump, and their recent announcement that the series will reach its grand finale, or “super climax,” in January has certainly piqued my interest. The term “climax” in this context refers to the concluding moments of the story, not necessarily the final chapter itself, but more like the last few instalments leading up to it.

It was revealed during last Sunday’s release of Chapter 238 on Manga Plus that its official French translation indicated the upcoming chapter would be the final one. Some fans speculated this might have been a mistranslation, but it appears their suspicions were unfounded: The storyline for Undead Unluck will conclude in Chapter 239.

On April 4, 2025, you can expect the release of the last two volumes, numbered 26 and 27. Simultaneously, another novel will make its debut on that very same day.

Fan Reception to the News

Typically, fans feel a mix of disappointment and anticipation as the series comes to an end, yet they’re eagerly looking forward to reading the next chapter due to their enjoyment of the ongoing tale.

I’ve noticed some playful remarks suggesting that “Mission: Yozakura Family” and “Undead Unluck” could be sister series, given their simultaneous conclusion and apparent shared audience appeal. Although neither were primary titles, they significantly contributed to the success of “Shonen Jump” over the past five years, with both earning enough popularity to be animated adaptations.

Is Something Wrong Going On At Jump?

It’s worth noting that some people worry that Shonen Jump might be experiencing a “creative lull,” as most recent series haven’t managed to run for more than six years. Yet, it’s important to recall that serializations lasting over ten years are quite rare when we look back at the magazine’s history.

It appears that Shonen Jump is focusing on diversity, meaning that even popular series might not endure beyond the six-year mark. Notably, both “Undead Unluck” and “Yozakura Family” have surpassed 20 volumes, a significant milestone for any manga.

The final installment is scheduled to debut between January 26th and 27th, 2025, depending on where you are in the world. You’ll be able to access it through Shonen Jump and Manga Plus platforms.
