The two drones will be collecting samples and data from above and below the surface of Ryugu until their scheduled return to Earth in 2020.
Does this mean that the two rovers will leave the asteroid and return to earth? That is way cool

What makes that possible achievement even more galling is how Japan, and some other countries are pulling off some major and impressive space accomplishments while NASA has to pretty much go begging; maybe that will change if China is successful in its planned lunar landing...

You get a small glimpse of China and how they will accomplish things, if you read Cixin Liu's 'Three body problem'. They stop at nothing. Just saying.

No. Rover1A and B, MASCOT and Rover 2 (Hayabusa 2 carries 4 rovers/landers) will all be left on the rock. Hayabusa 2 itself will land on the rock after they shoot a 2.5kg copper 'bullet' at the surface to expose the subsurface material, this will be recorded by a deployable camera Hayabusa 2 leaves behind before 'heading for cover'.

Hayabusa 2 will then gather samples and head off to Earth.



Hayabusa 2 is currently making it's second descend towards Ryugu to deploy the MASCOT lander (expected tomorro or on Thursday).
Navigation images from Hayabusa 2 are added here every 30-ish minutes:
