In the anime industry, there is never a shortage of rumors, but some reports seem to rise above the riffraff. From show orders to last-minute cancellations, the fandom is always on the lookout for news. And thanks to a new report, it sounds like Edens Zero will be closing in a matter of weeks.
Not long ago, reports surfaced on social media detailing the end of an era for Kodansha. If they are right, then Edens Zero will come to a close in five chapters or so. This means the Hiro Mashima title has less than two months in print left, so manga readers are eyeing the sci-fi shonen very carefully.

At this time, Mashima has not said anything about the alleged ending, and the same goes for Kodansha. In the industry, manga titles usually give little warning before they end, so this isn’t too surprising.
