'Gintama' Manga Ending Scheduled

Feeling like it’s been angling toward this forever, the latest installment of Weekly Shonen Jump has revealed that the Gintama manga will be ending. Kicking off back in 2004 and with seventy-four volumes in Japan to date, it’s listed as having five more chapters that will have it ...

      The static sound infiltrated the desolate convenience store; so it seemed the only people presently awake were the employees. Past midnight most places closed and bodies flowed in and out of those that did remain until they did no more. A sleep-ridden grumble and a pounding against the side of the malfunctioning television resonated and Tommy’s eyes perked up from the rows and rows of instant ramen to catch the signal returning in waves. The newscaster from SBS 8뉴스 was just finishing a report.

      "So it seems he will be sentenced to life this coming Friday if the jury on trial declares him guilty. Joining us to sort out all of this is Kim Seong-jun. Good evening …"

      There was stagnant feeling in the air as the signal went out again, as if just breathing was a task too grand to handle, the pill was too big to swallow. The cashier straight across from Tommy looked too afraid to say anything, as if it was too late to yell at the homeless loitering inside, as if Tommy was the type they spoke about on the news. Unfortunately for everybody present, he was.

      "Why do you play this shit? Watch it at eight o’clock!"

      More pounding. The elderly man once asleep near the antenna TV was up and arms again but to no avail. Short phrases like drug-smuggler and convicted criminal weaved in and out of the robotic voices.

      "Wow," Tommy said, "he deserved it."

      "Why would you say that?" A voice perked up and unavoidably interrupted Tommy’s train of thought. Lazily, he looked over, as if his own body restricted much movement. He forgot what her voice ringed like, but her bobbed haircut remained a staple. Tommy faced her completely.

      Why would he?

      "He robbed a friend." Truth was he knew who was on trial. And he did rob a friend. More than he liked to admit, he ran through circles that were highly spoken about in varying levels—a tragedy for all involved—whether they were idols or artists, abroad or in Seoul, those who obeyed or were above the law.

He laughs not believeing his eyes as he scrolls down the loading photo and seeing a naked beauty seductively posed. She looked young and he bit his lip before deleting. 

Snow: Our characters in the cold together. 

As the male rubbed his hands together, trying to somehow warm himself up with the friction his hands caused, Bobby looked around. Left, right and center. It was cold, freezing, snowing in fact. And the male hated going out in weathers like this. “Wait, what did I even need’a get?” he questioned himself, brows knitting to the center of his temples. He thought for a moment whilst adjusting his purple Bratson beanie that lay at an angle on his head. 

"Oh yeah, how the fuck am I forgettin’ shit—" Jiwon shook his head, a small smile forming as he thought about how forgetful he was becoming, which almost seemed like a joke at first to him. But regardless, the rapper continued his short journey to the little shop that was just around the corner from YG’s building. Twitching his nose, whilst nodding his head down to tuck it into the scarf which was wrapped around his neck, Bobby looked at the ground as he walked, completely unaware of anyone around him. 

He didn’t really care if anyone saw him, in fact, no one really would. Despite gaining fame from WIN and SMTM3, Bobby was still a rookie, and not many people knew a rookie rapper. As a matter of fact, the way the young male was wrapped from head to toe would make it almost impossible to recognize who he was. 

As he arrived at the entrance of the shop, Jiwon pushed open the frozen like door with his right arm. And as soon as his skin came in contact with the glass door, a quiet hiss slipped past his lips, and immediately, he shoved both of his hands into his pockets of his thick coat whilst walking in. Considering Bobby had been training at YG for a good three to four years, he always used to come to this shop, and therefore knew it like the back of his hand. And just out of habit, Jiwon yet again nodded his head down and headed over to the isle where the needed item would have been kept. 

After a moment, when he found the things he needed, Bobby quickly made his way to the checkout, to pay for everything. He tried to hurry since he hated being out in the cold. The male was so much of a summer type of guy, and therefore detested the cold weather. And of course, it didn’t take him much time to pay, bag and make his way out. 

As he turned a corner to walk out of the shops, he felt a much smaller frame bump into him. Immediately, his head snapped up at the sudden collision and held onto the arm of the female to stop her from falling backwards, even though most of the items that were in her hand did happen to drop. 

"Oh shit— I’m so sorry man," he quickly blurted out, letting go of her arm just to help her gather all her items that were literally sprawled over onto the sidewalk. "No no it’s fine, really," she replied. Jiwon gently bit the corner of his lip as he gathered them up, handing them over to her one by one, smiling shortly afterwards. 

He stood up straight, holding onto the bag of items he just brought, bowing in an apologetic manner. His eyes suddenly narrowed, a slight look of concern suddenly filled his eyes when he noticed the female shivering. He couldn’t help but feel bad for her. And knowing the very gentleman, although much of a badboy, Bobby, decided to take off his thick coat, relieved to have been wearing another three layers underneath. “Here, take this, I’m all good,” the rapper spoke out. 

"Are you sure?"

[ sms ] you're the biggest weenie in the world. [ sms ] i hate you [ sms ] ;;

[` lets out a laugh and sets her hands on her hips as she looks at him. ] Been a little busy lately. Didja hear? I’m debuting. [` says so a bit proudly and grins. ]
