Yuji Kaku’s Hell’s Paradise manga may have been underrated at first, but once MAPPA adapted the manga, the series’s popularity began to skyrocket. Hell’s Paradise has a huge fan following now, and with the arrival of the second season, everyone’s wondering about how long the source material will last. So, if you have questions such as whether Hell’s Paradise manga is finished or still ongoing, how long the Jigokuraku anime will be, let me answer them one by one here.
Is Hell’s Paradise Manga Finished?
First of all, yes, the Hell’s Paradise manga reached its end with chapter 127 in January 2021. Yuji Kaku’s manga began serialization in January 2018 and ran for around three years. As a result, Hell’s Paradise manga spanned a total of 13 volumes and 127 chapters in the end. MAPPA Studios’ adaptation of Hell’s Paradise only began after the series concluded its run in the Shonen Jump.
Since the conclusion, author Yuji Kaku has released a light novel, ‘Jigokuraku: Utakata no Yume,’ and a one-shot spinoff manga, ‘Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku Side Story – Forest of Misfortune.’ There have been no other installments in the Hell’s Paradise franchise in recent times, suggesting that the story is finally finished.
All the Hell’s Paradise Arcs in Order
While the Hell’s Paradise manga was published for around three years, it has only four official arcs. That said, here are all the Hell’s Paradise arcs in order for both the anime and manga:
| Arc Title | Anime Episodes No. | Manga Chapters No. |
|---|---|---|
| Island Arc | 1-6 | 1-16 |
| Lord Tensen Arc | 7-13 (end of season 1), 14-ongoing | 17-59 |
| Hōrai Arc | TBD | 60-110 |
| Departure Arc | TBD | 111-126 |
| Total: 4 arcs | TBD | 126 chapters |
Is Hell’s Paradise Anime Completed?
No! The Hell’s Paradise anime is still airing at the time of writing. After its fantastic debut in 2023, it took three years for MAPPA Studios to return with a second season. Hell’s Paradise Season 2 is on air right now and adapting the final pages of the Lord Tensen arc. The second season of Hell’s Paradise is expected to cover only half of the Hōrai Arc.
Then, Hell’s Paradise Season 3 will be the final season of the series, covering the remaining chapters of Hōrai and The Departure arc. As you can see here, Hell’s Paradise is a relatively short manga, and MAPPA Studios will soon wrap it up with the third season in the future.
That said, what do you think about Hell’s Paradise ending? Was it rushed, or did Yuji Kaku wrap it up on a good note? Let us know in the comments below.
