The latest issue of Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine, No. 30 for 2024, revealed the end date for Akita Shoten's manga. Saint Seiya: Next Dimension – The Myth of Hades. According to the plan, this work by Masami Kurumada will end on July 4th.

That's the day the next issue of this publication goes on sale. This is the conclusion of a story that began in 2006 and has endured several hiccups.

Saint Seiya: Next Dimension – The Myth of Hades was on hiatus since June 2023 and only returned in May 2024 for its final arc.

Prior to that, it was republished from another previous hiatus in April 2023 with the 'Prequel to the Final Series'which covered eight chapters of the story.

To the above we must add another waiting period that began in July 2021. Kurumada's many occupations did not allow him to advance at the pace he wanted with the series.
