they need to work for food too
and maybe some permission stuff
Terasaka seemed to imply in a previous tweet that he could publish a sequel independently if he wanted. We'd have to know how their contracts are worded to know who has the rights for sure.

Finally caught up to Akane Banashi. Such an incredible series, and easily among my all-time favorite of Jump's long history. Feel like it's really the perfect spot of the story for me to catch up as well. So incredibly hype. Have no doubt this will be in my top 3 ratings every week now.

Currently catching up with a couple series from other mags, but when it comes to Jump, I think I'll catch back up with Sakamoto Days or Witch Watch next.

Finished the latest issue just before the new year kicks off. Lots of middling chapters this time for me.

Top 3 for issue #4/5:
1. Akane-banashi
2. Kagurabachi
3. One Piece
Could have been in my top 3 as well:
4. Ichi the Witch
5. Sakamoto Days

Pretty good chapters:
6. Blue Box
7. WITCH WATCH
8. Hima-Ten!

A lot of 'just fine' chapters:
9. Astro Royale
10. Syd Craft: Love is a Mystery
11. The Elusive Samurai
12. Shinobi Undercover
13. Me & Roboco
14. Undead Unluck
15. Mission: Yozakura Family

It's trying but it's failing:
16. Kill Blue
17. Nue's Exorcist
18. Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi

Bad enough that it was kind of annoying to read:
19. Hakutaku
20. Super Psychic Policeman Chojo

It feels like we've shifted to a more serious mode for Ichi the Witch lately (which has been very good as per), I wonder whether that's in an attempt to recover from the Shark arc which may be the reason for the dip in the rankings (after living almost entirely in the top 5 before its cover, mind you). Would be very weird if it doesn't recover, will be one to watch over the next few months + vol1 sales are gonna be very interesting. Astro Royale seems to also be speeding into new territory with the set-up for this tournament arc. Please Wakui, don't commit the sin that 90% of shonen battle manga do and have the tournament be interrupted before it actually concludes - effectively making it pointless and just a setting for the next big thing to kick off - if you're going to commit to this sort of story arc I hope it carried through. This has been extremely fast in a way that similar to Ich the Witch might be an attempt to grab readers with recent dips. At the very least hopefully we'll get some cool fights...

I still feel nothing for the two semi-vets seemingly ending in the next two issues, will save my full thoughts for when they do wrap up. Hakutaku is attempting to find a resolution in what little time it has left too. It's a bit whatever. At this point I'm more curious to see whether it's going to be a 3 or 4 serialisation round (whether they 'replace' HxH or not). It may be for nothing but it's worth noting Tite Kubo recently had a meeting with the Burn the Witch staff. With Cour 4 still seemingly in early stages of development (likely not out until early-mid 2026) this might be the best time to see the BTW manga return while he's worked out the story adjustments there. Fingers crossed that actually happens this year. Otherwise I really want to see Kuji Tabigoro attempt to dodge the GFC curse with Canvas Terra. No better time than UU and MYF ending for them to try out some new battle manga. And give me Reiya Machida + Natsuki Osonoe serialisations while you're at it, Saito.

phantom seer duo is also coming back 2025

so. Kawaguchi, anemone author, phantom seer duo. Soft confirmation to come back in 2025. MAKE WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP GOATED AGAIN
I think the Phantom Duo is likely among the first batch to go, but Matsui feels way too soon while Kawaguchi feels like it’s gonna be around spring or summer batch of new series. But that’s my opinion. By the by, does anyone want to see a translated Momota Ryousuke one shot? To get a feel to what the dude is capable off. He started, I believe around 17 years of age, with a one shot of sorts. I will post it soon as am able.

I hope for Iwashiro news, if Amano Youichi is having a oneshot and maybe a potential manga with Shirai Kaiu than it's possible, and I hope for Black Clover to return to the WSJ hell as Tabata called it for the finale of the series, maybe just for 10-20 chapters or so.

I hope the Phantom Seer duo are ready. But my biggest concern, is Goto. He is the weak link to me. He has great concepts, but needs more time to work on their craft.

As for Kawaguchi, they better get a good editor otherwise I will also call them out if things don’t turn out well like Red Hood. Also, they better focus on story than art so that they won’t get burned out like last time.

As for Rin Matsui, too soon. But just like Kawaguchi, minus the editor thing, they need to focus on story and characters than just art. In fact I have been going back to Black Milk and seeing if what I said is being better than Dear Anemone. And it is to an extent.

I come late to the talk, but for me the best Jump author regarding flashbacks could probably be Gotouge. One of the strongest things of Kimetsu was actually the flashbacks.

Kimetsu flashbacks definitely should be more appreciated. But it's because it's more so used As a tool for character development than plot wise
