So! Tokyo Grind Horror Channel, the new one-shot being run in #48, is by
Tadaichi Nakama. Nakama is the author of a one-shot from the 2017 Golden Future Cup,
Mahou Shonen X:
Since he's getting another one-shot in the magazine even though he didn't win, WSJ must enjoy working with him enough that they're considering developing a weekly series with him. I wonder if Tokyo Grind Horror Channel is a contender for full series treatment, or if this is truly just a one-off but that we might see Nakama helming a new full series sometime next year.
Also,
NO CANCELLATIONS NEXT WEEK! This would make me confident that the next batch is starting in November, but the Dr. Stone spinoff being a whole ass series is such a curveball that I don't know what to think. Next month is already looking pretty interesting!
Edit: Turns out there
could still be an axe next week, my bad. Meaning we may very well be at the beginning of the next batch. Exciting!
