Kenta Shinohara's manga Witch Watch will officially conclude in the next chapter. The final chapter is confirmed to be Chapter 270, scheduled for release in the next issue, bringing an end to the nearly five-year serialization.
In the latest Chapter 269, Shujin delivered the final blow that decided the outcome of the battle, defeating the ultimate enemy. Although the series previously extended its narrative with new villains and arcs, it has now clearly entered its final conclusion phase.
Witch Watch entered its final arc in November 2025. Early on, the plot hinted at an impending conclusion, but the story later launched its "Part 3," revealing the existence of witches to the public and kicking off a war arc that lasted about a year.
Before plunging into the intense battles, Shujin and Nicole finally confessed the feelings they had long kept bottled up inside. However, the two have yet to fully confront the changes in their relationship. With the battle concluding in Chapter 269, the remaining story will be wrapped up in Chapter 270.
Witch Watch also becomes the fifth series in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2026 to reach a natural conclusion according to related statistics; if canceled series are included, the magazine has already ended 13 serializations this year.
