13p for My Hero Academia.

Okay, 13 pages seems like a deliberate decision now, not a sudden episode like it happened last year. The problem is that if this is the consequence of some illness or injury, the tendency is to get worse. The same happened with Togashi.

Yeah, it's very nice

A low week for Act-Age, but at least next week its getting a color page again. Not only is Yonagi super easy to root for, but I thoroughly enjoy watching and learning more about all of the supporting characters. WNL is a bit low for my liking as well, but at least Yuuna is high to compensate.

I finally got myself to catch up on Dr. Stone, and I'm glad I finally did. I'm really interested to see where the story will go from here given what happened in the most recent chapter. I forgot how much I laughed from those crazy faces they're always making lol. Senkuu is such a troll lol

Speaking of laughing, David-kun getting another color page already I'm guessing probably means that it's being decently received by the readers. I wasn't sold at first, but I've been enjoying it much more as they introduce more characters. Plus, the artwork is really good and the painting/statue references are pretty well-integrated into the scenes.

I'm still bummed about Alice to Taiyou. I really enjoy the series and the artstyle is really cute, but it just can't seem to keep up with the current line-up. However, the current chapters don't make it seem like it will be ending in the super immediate future, in fact, it seems more characters are still being introduced. Too bad this series didn't premiere in Weekly Shonen Sunday since I think it'd fit in better with that line-up, and it would've had a much better chance at survival, especially now that King of Idol as ended. I wonder how its first volume will sell (hopefully much better than Seiji Tanaka's!)

This chapter was finished weeks ago before he took his break. The next few chapters will be a better indication of Hori getting back to 17p again but if not its probably nothing serious.

 

[Heiji]

There is just the author of My Hero Academia who welcomes back the author of World Trigger in the tocs of #48.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Everyone else are just insecure weaklings that can't sell volumes. Very very shameful for Oda and Togashi to.nit welcome their wounded warrior back

At this point, Jump ought to seriously consider giving Horikoshi a break every month from now on.

I wish I had the same optimism as you, because I for one, am concerned. As an extra dash of irony, the long-suffering WT is back (temporarily).

I'm surprised they didn't say anything. Maybe they will the issue after.

He acknowledged that the decreasing page count is a problem and is trying to fix that. If it was serious then either him or his editor would have brought it to light like what happened last year. I wish him the best though I know fans of HxH and WT are just happy that their respective mangaka can release anything at a steady basis nowadays than nothing for years on straight.

Like very intelligent posters proposed two weeks ago, horikoshi needs a very long extended hiatus.

 

[shoyoboyo]

I remember the quadruple digit IQ posters suggesting Black Clover be axed, and honestly I think they have a point.

 

[CuriousReborn]

Hori never said that he is sick or anything and only mentioned the low page count and apologized. I'm sure it's not his health otherwise :
1.That would be mentioned
2.Would have taken a longer break than 1 week if it's serious.

 

[mangalover101]

No sales figure this week for Jump titles?

Thing is, Jump doesn't exactly have the best record when it comes to dealing with this. Usually, they'd just just waffle on the subject long enough until things got really serious that they would admit that "yes, this has been going on for a while and we're sorry that we didn't do anything about it earlier" either implicitly or explicitly.

Oricon already released the date its just that we're waiting on @iceemperor to post the extended ranking numbers as well.

Yeah, I'm also liking David-kun. Not by a big margin but it's quite fun and the jokes are funny to me.
