They teased this at last year's Jump Festa event, but now I guess it's official.

Too many good series are ending. Gintama from a comedy standpoint looked like it could continue for many years but with the main story done that would be pointless.

Before anyone gets excited, Bleach entered it's final arc three (four?) years ago.

Gintama is not Bleach though. The longest Gintama chapter has 27 chapters.

With the storyline in its current phase, readers would have figured it out even without an official announcement.
I caught on to this series later than most, but I've enjoyed every minute of it. It's had its run and it'll be missed when it goes.

Yaaas. Hope this means we get Gintama anime for at least most of the rest of the year. If they catch up, they can always use the stuff they skipped over before the Shogun Assassination arc. Though they may have to pretend some deaths didn't happen.

that's a different situation, Kubo said that the final arc would be his longest (4 or 5 years) while here it's said that Gintama would end this year or next

Almost obvious already since the latest arc is resolving, well everything...I kinda wish Sorachi is trolling again and make more Gintama episodic chapters. Gintama universe is so wide anything can happen.

That does not work as an example. For one, before Bleach's final arc had started, Kubo said it would be his longest(although I'm not sure how true that may turn out to be). And secondly, Gintama has short arcs.

Yeah, it's the Doctor Who of manga: It could potentially be about anything. Hence, it felt like it would never end until the ratings sunk or something.
I wonder if Sorachi will be forced (or paid) to keep making spinoffs for the rest of his life like with Naruto.

All good things comes to an end...
But I'd rather see him ending Gintama by his own will than dragging on for years just to please the editors/publisher.
An author of his talent can with no doubt create a new great manga after Gintama.

One that would be a new pillar for Shonen Jump, for sure.
With the end of Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, and Toriko near, the inevitable end of Bleach and the approching conclusion of One Piece and Nisekoi, I really wonder where this magazine is going.
There's still Haikyuu and Boku no Hero Academia, but heh, I don't think they can support everything...

One Piece isn't going anywhere any time soon. Endgame plants have been written in, but it's the sort of series that establishes plants long, long before its payoff.
