The work continued to be serialized persistently while switching the media in which it was published.

Until the final episode on June 20, 2019 (Thursday), there were three announcements of the final episode, and even the delivery of the final episode was postponed, which was an unusual situation that became a major topic of conversation. In March, just before the end of the series, the production of a completely new anime was announced at the "Gintama Silver Festival 2019 (tentative)"! The announcement was made at ......, but it was a truly "Gintama"-esque announcement that "all we know is that we are going to make it".

The final volume of "Gintama", volume 77 (and the official fan book of the original work, "Kosamisen"), will be released today, August 2 (Friday)! The news is out!

The "Gintama" world, which extends infinitely from the original work, anime, and live-action, is loved by many fans.
