ANN confirmed that Tadatoshi Fujimaki will end his Kuroko no Basuke ( Kuroko's Basketball ) manga in this year's 40th issue of Shueisha 's Weekly Shonen Jump on September 1. (The image pictured is the cover of the 39th issue.)

In the beginning of the story, Taiga Kagami has just enrolled into Seirin High School when he meets Tetsuya Kuroko of the school's basketball team. Kuroko happens to be the shadowy sixth member of the legendary "Generation of Miracles" basketball team. Together, Kagami and Kuroko aim to take their team to the inter-high school championship — against Kuroko's former teammates.

Fujimaki launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2008, and Shueisha will publish the 29th compiled volume in October. As of April, the series had more than 27 million copies in circulation.
