might've been posted already but Jojo's getting a battle royale game I guess

I suppose Black Clover essentially got a hero shooter so they're tackling more genres with jump games but still, that's an odd choice.

Interesting seeing how OP is not even in top ten. And neither is MHA with its big burst this year.

Such a weird choice...
They literally have the perfect manga for a battle royal game with WT, why not use it?

Deku in Jump Force.

Too bad World Trigger left before the double issue. I'm glad Ashihara is now working at a schedule that's more beneficial to his health (especially after reading his account of the hiatus), and that the story is even continuing at all, but it's a shame we'll never get another group cover with Kuga in it.

Where can I read his account?

That Asta

Though Midoriya looks kind of lifeless in this artstyle. Seems the game artstyle works for some characters and others it doesnt.

It was a feature in volume 19, so you can probably read it when Viz translates it, but a fan also translated it on their blog. They translate a lot of other World Trigger stuff too.

is this really that translation or is something weird, as I dont understand why he would call himself a "trash author"

"But it worried me, considering my social standing as a trash author who had been on hiatus for close to a year."

I think this is just some sort of self deprecating thing because he felt bad about taking so much time off from the story, or maybe he saw some people say that about him on social media or something. It sounds like he just takes his job really seriously, and the fact that he couldn't work didn't sit well with him, I mean, he did work through the pain to the point that his condition got so bad he couldn't even go to the hospital.

This week my hero academia : 11 pages

I wonder if Horikoshi realizes this isnt helping his social standing as an author at all. I hope Ashihara reaches out to him and tell him to take a six month hiatus or something.

Pretty much the only pro of buying the volumes is the volume extras, which are pretty cute for Kimetsu, but not worth 6.99 lol

Actually they include those in the vault manga. You get bonus volume illustration at the end of each chapter. No color pages though -__-

Viz has ton of digital sale, keep a look out for those. they go down to 4$

That’s a price I’ll pay at. Probably pick a few up!

is it? With volumes having anywhere from 8 to 12 chapters, 6.99 is less than 1 dollar per chapter. I always felt that is what made digital books challenging, what is a price that people would consider "worth it?" To me less 1$ starts to feel a bit like a steal, but as an author I think Id feel kind of weird thinking something Id pour all my energy into for dozens of hours is only valued at 99cents.

Personally I’m not paying more than $4-5 for something that’s not physical that I consume in ~1hr. I can pay $6-9 for a movie ticket for two hours. I think of it like that. I think less than $3 a volume is a steal from the artist but then again at that price I’d have bought so many volumes by now...

His social standing where? In Japan? Pushing through even though you are troubled in your creative process and still delivering something to not disappoint the fans and to not trouble his employer is probably seen as good over there.

Social standing? Dude, no. That’s a weird take at best.

Hiatuses, by and large, are best avoidedfor a creator. It can have a seres drop from the public consciousness, which is risky as heck when it’s your livelihood, to say nothing about the whole money thing.
Less pages is a middle-ground ideal. If he can keep himself in better condition doing less, and not put his work in jeopardy then it’s ideal. Unfortunate, but the better option

the series has an ongoing anime that makes yearly appearances, its highly unlikely that it would fall from public consciousness. Similarly, arent they on a salary type of situation, and with volumes still coming out and other residuals, it also doesnt seem likely he'd really take some type of significant financial hit for a half year or year long hiatus.

I just wonder if in the end they are going to put Kohei on the same schedule that Oda has.
