It’s always a tough blow when another manga bites the dust. The competition in the industry is fierce, especially for creators at Shueisha, known for producing some of the most iconic manga series ever.

So, when a new title fails to make its mark, it’s doubly disappointing. That’s the case for Mama Yuyu, which is set to conclude less than a year after its debut.

The news of Mama Yuyu’s impending end was confirmed in the latest Weekly Shonen Jump Table of Contents. Chapter 29 will mark the final installment of Yoshihiko Hayashi’s supernatural series, leaving it with less than 30 chapters to its name. Fans, both in Japan and globally, are expressing their sadness at bidding farewell to the manga.

Despite its short run, Mama Yuyu had garnered a small yet devoted fanbase. Hayashi’s work was consistently praised for its fantastical battles and vibrant characters. Unfortunately, it seems the series won’t have the opportunity to fully realize its potential before coming to an end.

For those unfamiliar with Mama Yuyu, there’s still a chance to catch up before its conclusion. The manga is available on Shonen Jump’s app and Manga Plus website. Here’s the official synopsis for those curious about the series:

“An era of peace between the hero and demon lord is upon us! In this peaceful world, the hero Corleo is nothing but an empty suit. But one day, a hero and demon lord from another world appear before him! How will Corleo deal with the chaos these invaders bring to his world?! A new type of fantasy epic now begins!”
