- The Undead Unluck manga is set to conclude its journey with Chapter 239, scheduled for release on April 4, 2025.

As many anticipated, Undead Unluck is approaching its conclusion, a sentiment shared by dedicated fans who have sensed this outcome for some time. Meanwhile, those enjoying the anime adaptation on Hulu or Disney+ find themselves still engaged with the unfolding story.
This conclusion has been reinforced by Shonen Jump, especially after their declaration about the series moving toward a “super climax,”a term indicating the climax of the plot in manga, typically referencing the final chapters rather than just the last one.
Last Sunday, following the release of Chapter 238 on Manga Plus, the French translation noted that the upcoming chapter would be the series’ last. While there was speculation regarding a possible mistranslation, it has since been confirmed that the final chapter will indeed be Chapter 239.
Notably, the last two volumes of the series, namely volumes 26 and 27, will debut on April 4, 2025, coinciding with the release of a new novel.
Fan Responses to the Announcement
As is customary, fans express their sadness over the conclusion of the series while simultaneously showcasing excitement for the concluding chapters. Many have taken to social media to share their sentiments about the end of a series they have cherished.
Interestingly, some fans have playfully pointed out the timing of the endings for Undead Unluck and Mission: Yozakura Family, suggesting they may share a “sibling”connection due to their simultaneous conclusions. Both series, while not flagship titles, have greatly contributed to Shonen Jump’s overall performance over the past five years, successfully earning their own anime adaptations.
Is There an Issue at Shonen Jump?
Chewing over recent trends, many fans worry that Shonen Jump may be ensnared in a “creative crisis,”characterized by numerous recent titles failing to last beyond six years. However, it’s essential to recognize that successful serializations often exceed ten years, though they are indeed rare when examined over the publication’s lengthy history.
In response to current trends, Shonen Jump seems to be embracing a more diverse portfolio, suggesting that even prominent titles may not stretch beyond the six-year mark. Both Undead Unluck and Yozakura Family have managed to surpass 20 volumes—a commendable achievement in the manga landscape.
Fans can look forward to the release of the final chapter around January 26 or 27, 2025, depending on their time zone. It will be available through the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus platforms.
