Nisio Isin and Yuji Iwasaki’s manga, Cipher Academy, has come to an end in issue #10 of Weekly Shonen Jump which was published on Feb 5, 2024.
The manga ended with chapter 58.
The manga’s 6th volume will be releasing in March 2024, whereas the 7th and final volume of the manga will release in May 2024.
Following the manga’s end, a section of fans once again came up with the axe-allegations, suggesting that the manga was prematurely terminated due to poor Toc rankings and other factors.

“She's a dragon. He's a dragon slayer. And in this world, the Japanese have been wiped out! That day, giant dragons appeared in the sky above Tokyo, and the collapse of the nation of Japan began. With the arrival of monsters called Moju, Japanese people went extinct, and the nation was transformed into a lawless land occupied by armed forces and criminal syndicates.

Having gained immortality from dragon's blood, he spends each lonely day as a “salvager” transporting artwork out of the uninhabited ruins of Tokyo…until one day, a pair of twin art dealers request that he salvage a particularly powerful and mysterious item.” (Yen Press)
