<p>It's mentioned <a href="https://twitter.com/Kewl0210/status/1039984864571867137" rel="noreferrer">here</a>: <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/LMrSH.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/LMrSH.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

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

<p>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 <strong>he can't take back what he said on the predicted date that it will end</strong> and <strong>there is most likely another manga that was already scheduled to replace Gintama in Weekly Jump</strong> since he already informed them that he will end the manga, it was transferred to Jump Giga from Weekly Jump. </p>

<p><strong>Is Gintama ending or not?</strong> Based on this information, no, it's not yet ending. </p>

<p>I came across this Kotaku article called <a href="https://kotaku.com/gintama-manga-isnt-ending-yet-because-its-creator-screw-1829051940" rel="noreferrer">"Gintama Manga Isn't Ending Yet Because Its Creator Screwed Up"</a>, and I'm not really clear on what's going on.</p>

<p>So apparently, Gintama was originally going to end in <em>Weekly Jump</em> on September 15, 2018. But now it seems like it's not ending, and it's moving to <em>Jump Giga</em> instead? What happened there? Could someone explain?</p>

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?
