It is confirmed that fans will not be seeing “Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru” anymore because the previous chapter 43 was designated as the finale already. This saddened some fans who are following Masashi Kishimoto’s latest manga series, but the cancellation was unavoidable.
The real reason for the manga’s abrupt end
Before “Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru” was introduced, Kishimoto had high expectations since he has been very successful with his “Naruto” series. He originally planned for this story to continue up to 10 volumes, and he will add more if need be to satisfy the readers.
"Let's just go with 10 volumes for now,” Anime News Network quoted the Japanese manga artist as saying when asked about his plans for ‘Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru.’ “I remember saying one time that Naruto would be 15 volumes. It always ends up being longer."
Apparently, with the “Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru” chapter 43 being the last, his plan did not push through, and it was not because he did not want to. The decision was based on the outcome and feedback from the readers and as it turned out, it is not getting enough followers to merit a continuation.
In other words, “Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru” did not do well in the rankings and it’s just getting pushed to the lower spot which means, the readers prefer something else. The announcement came abruptly and this made it more heartbreaking for those who have come to love this manga’s story.
Quick wrapping up announcement
The end of “Samurai 8: Tale of Hachimaru” via chapter 43 was announced through social media and this was also confirmed by Weekly Shonen Jump. the final chapter was released on March 22 but still, the fans have their hopes up that Kishimoto will think of something up to compensate them from the sudden end of “Samurai 8.”
But instead of announcing something like he will replace it with a better one, the author just did his best to give a satisfying ending to Hachi’s story and fan appreciated this so much. The conclusion of “Samurai 8: Tale of Hachimaru” did not disappoint because Kishimoto honored Hachi’s character well. “It was the best way they could’ve wrapped up the series,” one fan commented via Reddit.
