The anime began adapting the “Silver Soul” arc, the final arc of the manga, on January 7.
The manga also inspired two anime films, including the “final” Gekijōban Gintama Kanketsu-hen: Yorozuya yo Eien Nare film that opened in 2013, and various OVAs and event anime.
Gintama will be featured on the cover of the issue, and the chapter on February 5 will include a color page.
The manga also inspired a live-action film that opened in Japan on July 14.
