The Recent Manga Endings Have All Been Controversial
In 2024, My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen reached their conclusions after a long time. Both series have sold more than 100 million copies, a feat previously achieved by a few titles. When the time came to conclude the story, the authors tried their best to ensure that it would be satisfactory.
However, many fans did not agree with the way the stories ended. My Hero Academia fans were outraged by Midoriya ending up with Ochako. Some of them went as far as blocking Horikoshi Kohei’s official X (formerly Twitter) account. Jujutsu Kaisen’s fans had other issues with the manga’s conclusion, and they expressed their dissatisfaction on social media. Chiba Yuu will be feeling the pressure, but an artist of his caliber will be able to handle it with aplomb.
What Is Kindergarten Wars About?
- Kindergarten Wars has sold over 1.7 million copies
- The name of the lead is Rita
Kindergarten Wars began serialization on Shonen Jump+ in September 2022. It started as part of Jump+’s rookie program, but eventually, Shueisha decided to turn it into a full-fledged series. So far, the series has released 17 volumes, and more are likely on the way. Kindergarten Wars’ performance in terms of sales has been commendable. According to reports, Kindergarten Wars has sold more than 1.7 million copies. While it may be as high as other Jump regulars, it is important to remember that Kindergarten Wars has no anime adaptation. If it receives a high-quality anime adaptation, these numbers will increase significantly.
Kindergarten Wars is set in Kindergarten Noir, known to be the safest kindergarten in the world. Due to this reason, politicians, celebrities, and businessmen send their kids to Kindergarten Noir. What makes the facility so secure is the presence of former criminals who work diligently for a shorter prison sentence. Rita, the main lead, is a former assassin, and she works as a teacher to get a reduced sentence.
Kindergarten Wars will return on March 27, 2025.
