I came across this Kotaku article called ["Gintama Manga Isn't Ending Yet
Because Its Creator Screwed Up"](https://kotaku.com/gintama-manga-isnt-ending-
yet-because-its-creator-screw-1829051940), and I'm not really clear on what's
going on.

So apparently, Gintama was originally going to end in _Weekly Jump_ on
September 15, 2018. But now it seems like it's not ending, and it's moving to
_Jump Giga_ instead? What happened there? Could someone explain?

manga-production gintama
Is Gintama ending or not?


It's mentioned
[here](https://twitter.com/Kewl0210/status/1039984864571867137): [![enter

Apparently, the author miscalculated in trying to estimate on when the series
will end. He mentioned that in Jump, **mangaka have to notify the editorial
department 6 months in advance before the date that the manga is expected to
end**.

However, he seemed to have realized after informing the editorial department
that he could not fit everything he needed for a proper ending in the
remaining chapters. Since informing the editorial department of the projected
ending is probably absolute, meaning **he can't take back what he said on the
predicted date that it will end** and **there is most likely another manga
that was already scheduled to replace Gintama in Weekly Jump** since he
already informed them that he will end the manga, it was transferred to Jump
Giga from Weekly Jump.

**Is Gintama ending or not?** Based on this information, no, it's not yet
ending.
