I like what Chainsaw Man has been doing right now, although I'm sad that it seems like it's in its last arc or so. The series has become not only my favourite ongoing WSJ manga, but one of my favourite action manga in general.

Would have liked it to go 20+ volumes, but I understand that that's not Fujimoto's style. If that helps him keep his story good and concise then I won't blame him.

 

[Newkerzy]

It seems My Hero Academia will be having a break next Jump issue according to Mangaplus. This was not a scheduled break so it's not sure at all if MHA is going to be or not in next issue.

Wait, what? NOOOOOO!!! Just when it was getting so good . I just hope this is because Covid screwed up the schedule, and not related to Horikoshi’s health in any way. Man’s been on fire throughout this arc, I just hope he stays well.

 

[Franz]

I don't think there are any health problems, it's just been a while since some manga on the Jump have periodic breaks.

Last break there was three numbers ago, nothing strange.

The strange thing is that the next chapter was originally announced for July 12th. If this was a normal break announced in the Jump magazine, it would've said from the get-go that MHA will be absent in next week's issue. But apparently, it didn't.

It is not the first time that happens .....

However, even in the latest issue, the author has not announced any problems.

But where ?

It was scheduled for July 12 on Mangaplus but then it was chnaged to July19

 

[redon]

But where ?

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

My personal theory is MHA getting issue 35 cover (the anniversary cover) and somehow affecting Horikoshi's schedule.

 

[Serinox]

Where exactly ?

Right there in the chapter as always?

And, as redon posted, MHA was included in the Weekly Shonen Jump preview page for the issue on July 13th.

 

[Franz]

Right there in the chapter as always?

I still don't understand the problem ....

It is not the first time it has happened.

 

[Serinox]

Yes, but an emergency break that came too late for the magazine preview to be corrected is still something highly unusual and noteworthy.

Speaking of Amazon, apparently they don't deliver to the United States anymore? I would blame COVID, but I literally bought some Pokemon cards and a volume of manga from there 2 or 3 days ago. Been buying the volumes of newbies I like for a couple of years to help them survive, but not going to be doing that anymore, apparently. At least not through Amazon.

Edit: I messed around a bit and found that things that are already released can be delivered, as well as pre-order items releasing in July. The problem with Mitama and Yozakura volumes must be how far out the pre-orders are. I've never had that problem before now, but there it is.

I think its been a recent change (past few months) that preorders cant be shipped out, but once its release day they can be. Dont really understand why they do this, unless their afraid non JPN people will buy up the domestic supply or something.

 

[Mammo]

I found Roboco first chapter pretty funny, and sure the premise is predictable and the characters are cliche but as long as it make me laugh I don't see how's that a problem

Shark and Dolphin is shaping up to be like an exorcist manga, instead of exorcist organization we have special cops, and instead of evil demons we have evil sea creatures

Magu-chan is as comfy as ever, I liked every new characters that joined the cast so far, hopefully the streak continues

TPGW is once again trying too hard to make Teppei likeable, this whole bit about the mc not spending any money he makes from the series seems like an afterthought and a response to the criticism, "see! he's a nice guy!" also if the future person knows Teppei is so pure he wouldn't take the plagiarism dirty money why would he accept the lottery cheating dirty money?

I'm still still pushing the Mashle reminds me of OP meme, Mash=Luffy, Lance=Zoro, Daut=Sanji, Finn=Usopp

 

[101nemesis]

What, emergency?

But where ?

Why are you constantly just repeating the same questions like as if you have some point?
Redon and others have provided multiple sources that said July 12th was the planned next release date for MHA.

A break that was not in the plans means potential health problem or scheduling problems for Horikoshi. Hence, EMERGENCY break. This isn't hard to understand.

Author comments and magazine don't mention anything probably because the issue came up after printing of the magazine.

 

[Franz]

A break that was not in the plans means potential health problem or scheduling problems for Horikoshi. Hence, EMERGENCY break.

Where there mentions of health issues anywhere?

Where would the emergency in scheduling problems be?

 

[101nemesis]

When was the last time a mangaka took an unplanned break that wasn't health or scheduling related?
Also, "potential" means just that. Potential.

To our knowledge, based on the magazine released on yesterday, and based on the MHA chapter itself, MHA seemed to have not been planned to release next Sunday with no breaks.
The fact that it now seems to be going on break next week, which wasn’t announced before makes it seem as though something MAY have happened suddenly, that we obviously wouldn’t know about because there wasn’t any announcement.

It seems like this is an emergency break

 

[Franz]

I don't know, do you know? Give some examples.

I remember one of the last unexpected breaks was about three years ago.

But can't it just be a break and go without any health problems?



Were there any posts on twitter? Annunciations?

 

[Bodoro]

August Amazon ranks (thanks to Kimi for the info):
Mashle 2 #19343
Yozakura 4 #32663
Moriking 1 #39224
Time Paradox Ghost Writer 1 #72905
Guardian of the Witch 2 #99067
Bone Collection 1 #102581
Mitama 4 #105066

-Yozakura is doing fine and I'm happy for it. I hope it gets the anniversary cover.
-Moriking is also doing fine, and way better than TPGW
-How in Earth hasn't Mitama still been axed?

Dang Guardian higher than Mitama and Bone Collection. Tbh, If Bone Collection sells badly next month and stays at the bottom I can see it being axed first.

It’s certainly possible that it has nothing to do with health issues.

But when someone suddenly takes an unannounced break when that isn’t common for them people typically assume some sort of emergency happened.
Maybe a sudden death in the family, maybe an injury, maybe an important obligation care up., or maybe something as simple as him suddenly noticing there’s an error in an upcoming chapter that he needs to fix and messed up his schedule. Or maybe nothing at all.
Point is, this isn’t common and leads ppl to assume something happened
