Naoki Oki’s Punk Gun is officially nearing the finish line. According to the latest issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump, the manga will end in the magazine’s next issue, which is scheduled to release on May 21.
That makes this a fairly quick run for the series. Punk Gun first launched in Weekly Young Jump in May 2025, meaning it is closing out roughly a year after debuting in one of Japan’s bigger seinen manga magazines.
For manga readers in Malaysia and across SEA, the key thing is that Punk Gun is not some impossible-to-access title stuck behind import magazines only. The series is available in English through MANGA Plus, Shueisha’s official platform. That matters because SEA fans are increasingly following manga week-to-week through official apps instead of waiting months for compiled volumes, scanlation drama, or uncertain licensing news.
If you have been keeping up with Punk Gun digitally, this is the signal to catch up before the final chapter lands. And if you are the type who prefers reading in volume format, Shueisha has also been moving the collected releases along. The manga’s third compiled volume shipped on April 17, while the fourth volume is scheduled to ship on May 19, just two days before the final chapter arrives in the magazine.
That timing is interesting because it gives volume collectors a fresh release right before the story ends. For Malaysian readers who buy Japanese manga through Kinokuniya, import sellers, or online shops, the fourth volume is probably the one to watch if you are planning to collect the series physically. As always with imported manga, expect availability and pricing to vary depending on stock, shipping, and whether local bookstores bring it in quickly.
The announcement itself does not reveal extra details about how the story will conclude, and the available source text does not include a plot breakdown beyond confirming that MANGA Plus publishes the series in English. So for now, the clean version is this: Punk Gun is ending soon, English readers have an official route to follow it, and the final stretch is already locked in.
Short manga runs can be a mixed bag. Sometimes they feel like a title got cut down before it found its full audience. Other times, a tighter run means the creator gets to deliver a focused story without dragging things out for years. We will only know which side Punk Gun lands on once readers see the May 21 chapter.
Either way, if this one has been sitting in your MANGA Plus backlog, now is probably the time to clear it. No need to wait for a random TikTok spoiler to tell you the ending first, bro.
