A series about a guy enjoying a vacation on a beach called "Hardboiled Cop and Dolphin", you guys also seems to forget the name of the manga is literally there big in the cover, people are not that dumb.

Except the Japanese title doesn't mean "Hardboiled Cop and Dolphin".
"Shakunetsu" means "burning passion" or "scorching heat", while "Nirai Kanai" means "paradise across the ocean" and is a term from Ryukyu mythos that describes the land of the gods from which all life originated.

Which just leaves the English written "Hardboiled and Dolphin" on the cover, though this also omits the explicit cop mention, and while I guess the average Japanese shopper would get the English written "Dolphin", getting the proper context meaning of the English written "Hardboiled" will be a bit harder.

It took an entire year but finally Black Clover moved from 10 to 11 million copies (inb4 Jujutsu Kaisen still beats it at the end of the year with 12 million at the rhytm is going).

 

[Koni]

I just realized that the Sensei arc is already on it's second color page. Damn, either the fans were right about 22i saving the "best for last" or the editors saw the popularity polls, figured the series was ending and are now trying to milk all they can out of Sensei before her arc ends. xD

Dr.STONE Color Spread.

@SPY do you have Undead Unluck color spread?

Preview next issue

CSM LCP is for commemorating "entering the final phase"

 

[Ryuusei]

The Chainsaw Man preview says "最終局面" which translates to last phase. Note that this is not is "終章", which is straight up last arc, so it could mean something of a bigger scope. "最終局面" was used in one Jigokuraku PV a while ago but it had more text to it and was referencing the then current battle while this is just "celebration for entering the last phase". Take this with a grain of salt regardless.

So it's literally all about a guy chilling at the beach with dolphins.

Okay, yeah, now I'm convinced they're doing it on purpose. Apparently they liked that little twist in ch 1 so much they thought it would be a good idea to intentionally (and repeatedly) mislead the public leading up to that point. Which... well, it takes guts, I guess, but I don't think it's a very economic approach.

Dr.STONE Color Spread.

That is one of the most creative colour pages I have ever seen.

Next up: Dr Stone fantasy spin-off.

Judging by the spoilers its either the last arc or the celebration of the end of this one, I doubt its ending in this volume

Yeah, it's definitely not ending soon, but endgame might be on the horizon already.

 

[tirakai]

that could be a fun poll, guessing how many chapters Chainsawman has left. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, more than 50.

 

[yadayada]

Yeah, it's definitely not ending soon, but endgame might be on the horizon already.

The square says "super climax", same wording KnY had right before ending (preview for chapter 204, ended on 205).

 

[ItsSamu]

I think everyone foresaw Chainsaw Man reaching its natural conclusion soon, I'm hoping it stick around until at least 2021 depending on how long this final climax/arc is.

Wouldn't it be something if CSM ended before/with We Never Learn and that is how Agravity Boys lives to see another day?

 

[tirakai]

What if Chainsawman ends up being the long runner to end in December, and WNL has a new surprise reveal at the end of the teacher arc that it's doing one final harem route before it ends?

 

[101nemesis]

Watch Fujimoto go "Oops" and end it with next chapter to come back with CSM sequel Buzzsawman

 

[Ctkk]

Maybe it's gonna literally end next week and that's why they didn't give it the cover even though it has LCP.

Well, Chainsaw Man only needs another 6 chapters to fill another volume and in this case it would end before 2021 since we have more issues than that left. I don't think this is it but who knows.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Another veteran joining the ending list. 2021 Jump is so going to be carried by Akutami lol
