Less than a year later, the new manga "Samurai 8" by Masashi Kishimoto is finished today

Since the end of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto has been in a long period of "cultivation". He once said that the long-awaited new manga "Samurai 8: Hachimaruden", which was "more interesting than Naruto", started serialization in May 2019, but the response has been mediocre. It officially ended today, March 23.

"Samurai 8: Hachimaruden" is written by Masashi Kishimoto and illustrated by Akira Okubo. The protagonist is set as a child with a serious illness (relying on huge mechanical equipment to maintain life), and his greatest pleasure in life is playing games. He has always lived an ordinary life with his father. However, one day in the future, a cat who is also a samurai appeared in front of the protagonist, and from then on, the protagonist's next samurai adventure life began.

Today, March 23, Shueisha's manga magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump" released its latest issue 17, bringing with it the final chapter of "Samurai 8: Hachimaruden". The ideas and consciousness that Kishimoto wanted to convey through the manga have not been fully released, and "Samurai 8: Hachimaruden" has been completed in less than a year. Although it is a bit regrettable, the mediocre response from readers may be the reason for the quick completion of the manga.
