Is the Hell's Paradise Manga Finished or Ongoing?
If you don't have patience for weekly releases and hiatuses, you're in luck because the Hell's Paradise manga is finished!
Compared to other shounen manga, Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku had a much shorter run.
Judging from its structure, it seems that Hell's Paradise always knew where it was going plot-wise.
Unlike other shounen works that go on an almost indefinite quest for the protagonist's self-improvement, Jigokuraku unfolds in a single location.
While there's a big cast of characters, the manga takes just the time it needs to give them arcs, with almost no unnecessary content.

Here's What You Need to Know About the Hell's Paradise Manga
Hell's Paradise, also known as Jigokuraku, is written and illustrated by Yuji Kaku.
He has worked with Chainsaw Man's Tatsuki Fujimoto in Fire Punch, another dark fantasy work about a nearly unkillable warrior.
Of course, Hell's Paradise is quite different and arguably more refined than Fire Punch, but fans of one are likely to love the other.
After Hell's Paradise, Kaku went on to publish Ayashimon, a shorter work about a boy who dreams of becoming a manga hero, and his recruitment into a yokai's yakuza group.
How Many Volumes Does Hell's Paradise Have?
Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku has 127 chapters that have been collected in 13 volumes.
If you would rather read Hell's Paradise online or in print, this is now possible since all its volumes have been translated into English.
The manga's size makes it relatively easy for newcomers to start reading, as the number of chapters is manageable and not too intimidating.
Will There Be Another Hell's Paradise Arc?
Many fans have fallen in love with Gabimaru, Sagiri, and all the other characters and are sad that they can't see more of them.
However, it's probably a good thing that Jigokuraku doesn't go on for too long.
While there's nothing wrong with long works, many manga with 300+ chapters run the risk of fans not caring anymore.
For those interested, Hell's Paradise's fan book known as Jigokuraku Kaitai Shinsho offers interviews, a Q&A, and insights on some characters' futures.
Moreover, Kaku has also released Forest of Misfortune, a side story that follows Gabimaru on a different adventure, so do check it out if you're interested!
