The news was quite confusing for fans of the franchise, especially since they expected the story to go all the way to the adult phases of each of the characters (some fear a huge time jump like Kimetsu no Yaiba did ) . , but the end date listed a year ahead did not give hope of it.
However, it seems that the light appeared almost at the end of the road in the form of a message shared by the author in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine (according to the most recent leaks), where he indicated that "he is reconsidering his decision" :
- « At the end of last year I mentioned that the series would be finished in a year, but it has already been ten months. I am reconsidering », He wrote in the small section of him in the magazine.
It is quite evident that the author has already defined the way in which the story will end, however, he could have misestimated the time it would take to get there and made a hasty statement. After all, announcements of a final chapter are given three to five chapters before publication (that is, about a month for weekly series), not a year before!

The publisher published the thirty-fourth compiled book volume in May. of 2022, followed by the thirty-fifth on July 4 in Japan.
