The statement was made prior the boost became this crazy, no?
But Hiromu Arakawa and Rumiko Takahashi are two of the most prolific Shonen mangaka and are women. I think Shonen Magazine has a couple as well on some of their larger series so I don't see it being that big of an issue.
Arakawa's gender wasn't publicly disclosed for years. Hell, "Hiromu" is pseudonym, her real name is Hiromi.
Definitely wasn't this big, but it was about a week after episode 19 released.

Jujutsu feels like series like Bleach and Yu Yu Hakusho.
The case of Attack On Titan is different, and it is definitely author intention to draw similar from WW2. Meanwhile, MHA is just a character name. (which make me blame this more on the editor and publisher side, they exist to prevent this type of situation).

I think Act-Age, while doesn't have a familiar skin, is the most jump-like out of the trio.
Otaku, amirite. Disguting but totally within my expectation. At least those creepy fans haven't gone full Perfect Blue ... yet.
Imaging thinking this when Arakawa exists.

Hey, you know what this isn't?

That raises a question, with Jump's hits since the beginning of the 2010s having drifted away more and more from the "idea" of a Jump manga, what even is a Jump series nowadays? Besides the obvious answer of a manga published in Weekly Shonen Jump.
I mean shit man the decade before had a manga in which the main character was an insane serial killer with a god complex compared to a melancholy girl who's a talented actress and a coarse horny teenager that can turn to a monster I'll say they started drifting from the standard formula way before that.
Oh, interesting. Guess I'll be doing more Amazon tracking than I counted on soon.Shueisha added Undead Unluck Volume 1 to the April releases, so it's now Yozakura, Agravity Boys, Zipman and UU in the same month.
Sooner than expected, UxU will have like 11 chapters at the start of april. Will they start release the first volumes earlier?Shueisha added Undead Unluck Volume 1 to the April releases, so it's now Yozakura, Agravity Boys, Zipman and UU in the same month.
Hate to say it to you, but Kimetsu doesn't exactly have the longest lifespan in the magazine. That's why.
First volumes typically have a shorter amount of chapters (7 to be more exact) because the first chapter equals 3 normal chapters and the two subsequent chapters have additional pages. Releasing the first volume 4 months after serialization is the common practice, especially for the first series of a round of serialization.
Kimetsu only just recently exploded in popularity. I’m sure many companies in Japan want a licensing contract to make content to ride the enormous franchise wave, but that takes time.
Here's a fun little detail - write it out as "Volume Number x 10 - Volume Number - 2". Unless the series has shifted to shorter chapters, it allows you to figure out exactly where a specific volume is.
I mean MHA had a game release prepared within the first few months of its first season two if you count the arcade game which was released around the same time. Even series that had an unexpected surge in popularity like Attack On Titan had a cheap 3DS game release by the year's end. Unless they want to do something more than a cheap fighter feels weird that they haven't capitalized on it yet.
