The manga began in 2003 and ended in June 2019. It currently has over 55 million copies in circulation and has inspired several TV anime series with a total of 367 episodes. The last episode aired in July 2018. It already has 2 animated films. The first one premiered in April 2010, and the second premiered in July 2013. “Gintama: THE FINAL” is set to be the third and final movie “for real this time”.

Synopsis:
The story focuses on Gintoki Sakata who works as an odd-jobs freelancer. He helps a teenage boy named Shinpachi Shimura save his sister Tae from an alien group who want to send her to a brothel. Impressed by Gintoki’s sword skill, Shinpachi becomes his apprentice to pay the bills and learn more about the samurai. The pair later rescues a teenage alien girl with super strength, Kagura, from a Yakuza group. They then accept her into their group and the three become known as the “Yorozuya” ( literally the “The Anything Store”). It’s a fun gag manga with occasional serious arcs which can compare to some of the best action shows.
