WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP THREAD RULES​

#1. No fights or personal insults.
#2. No bait or troll comments with the intention of being annoying or starting serious heated discussions, if i notice it's a continuous behavior, i will warn the user or delete the comment.
#3. No toxic attitude towards series, no one is obligated to enjoy any series and it's totally fine to criticize what you don't like, just avoid posting gratuitous hateful or toxic comments about X or Y series, if i notice this behavior, comments will be deleted.
#4. Don't bring politics or off-topic stuff to the thread, this is about Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and mangas, so keep any conversation about topics that aren't related about anime & manga outside the thread.
#5. Don't post news about series from other magazine or publishers in the WSJ thread, post in the series own thread, but it's fine if you're mentioning other series or magazine to express a opinion or reflection about Shonen Jump.
#6. Any tweet, specially japanese, about news, update or some interesting thing about the magazine or series has to come with a text of what that tweet means and also be on topic, if not it's going to be either deleted or i will edit the post.
#7. Refrain from self advertising or advertising Youtubers videos in the comments.
#8. Constant fanart posts just for the sake of praising a favorite series is prohibited, this rule doesn't apply for official art by Jump artists posted on social media, they're fine to post.
#9. Don't discuss or hype chapter spoilers before Sunday release, only comment if is related to a series surviving status and do it only inside the spoiler tag.
#10. Regarding rule #9, an exception will be made for when we have new series, in this case, spoilers will be allowed only for the first 3 chapters of a new series for the users who are interested in knowing informations and details about the new series, these spoilers will obviously be kept under tags to protect anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled, so don't worry about it.
~ Shinuki

I hope everyone reads the rules and use it as a guide to behave well in the thread, thanks! :kkthumbs

So, new year, i wanted to do this, there's any "shameful" confession you guys want to make regarding manga & anime in 2025 that you you plan to change in 2026? Here is my confession:

I didn't picked and finish a single anime during 2025, ZERO! The first time it ever happened since i started to dive deeper into anime, and it wasn't for lack of interest because i even did a whole research and organization in my "Plan to Watch" list on MAL since one of the things i most want to do for a while is starting to delve into older anime series and franchises specially from Shueisha magazines, what happened is simply related personal struggles, not going into details because it's not necessary and neither about physical problems, it kinda just happened that i ended up not really watching any anime in the year, funny thing i'm completely updated with every new anime announcements and etc but i didn't watched anything, i just read manga through 2025 and even i could have done a LOT better with mangas.

Actually when it truly reached me in December that i haven't watched a single anime in the year i decided that i should at least watch one series to not let 2025 end like this, but it kinda felt forced so i decided to just let it go and try focus in the Winter 2026 Season that is going to start this week, so wish me luck so i can go back to normal with watching anime! :pleased


So, anyone want to make a confession too? :fan
Okay kinda necro as this is several pages late but-

I've been reading JJK Modulo almost every week.

I don't know shit about JJK other than like the basics info. I have never read the original manga nor watched the anime, I just started reading it bc I liked one of the chara design.

..

Y'all are free to throw rocks at me now.

Ngl this is really funny, I thought I was the out-of-pocket one for reading Modulo when I’m an anime-only who hasn’t read the back half of JJK (I’ve been thoroughly spoiled on it though by incidence of being on top of One Piece weekly for awhile prior to reading the whole mag), but clearly I wasn’t on your level haha.

I love Astro unironically and think Hibaru is very refreshing personally, at least
Also, as much as I read JJK's new chapter every week, I legit forgot what happened within like, 3 hours after reading. It doesn't happen when I read other series, it's just JJK, strangely enough

also, the site works normally to me now, no need for vpn anymore. Yay?

@TwoTimesMartyred @icrawfish I am interested to know how do you find Modulo as people who doesn't read JJK. Is it easy to follow? Do you gets confused or disconnected by the random cameos of old characters?

I had to look up who Hana was but for the most part I think I’m following things. Stuff like the Inhuman Makyo are things I only knew by chapter(s) name and didn’t expect would be something with lasting effect into this story like that, and while I still don’t fully know it, the situation with Yuta and Gojo is spoiled just enough for me that it doesn’t seem out of place what they’re talking about with that.

Damn, 90 pages already.

A bit late, but here are my predictions for 2026.

* One Piece : still running. Still on Elbaf.
Gets another live action movie/series announced.
* HxH : publishes 10 chapters. Nothing of great impact to the story happens.
* Me & Roboco : still running. Still mostly unfunny with rare highlights.
* Sakamoto Days : still running by the end of the year. Might end early 2027.
The live action movie receives praise, but doesn't really boost the manga sales (<15% increase).
* The Elusive Samurai : ends naturally in the first half of the year.
* Witch Watch : ends naturally towards the end of the year.
* Blue Box : ends this year. Please.
* Akane Banashi : still running. The anime boosts the sales of the manga by a decent 30-50%.
* Ruri Dragon : still running, with frequent breaks. No anime announced yet.
* Nue's Exorcist : still running. Still hanging towards the end of the TOC without ever hitting rock bottom.
Anime has been announced but hasn't aired yet.
They have defeated the third hyo.
* Kagurabachi : still running, with more frequent breaks.
The anime has been announced and starts airing towards the end of the year.
All of the remaining sword masters have been introduced and/or killed.
* Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi : still running. No anime announced yet.
They are dealing with the third great demon lord.
* Hima-Ten! : still running. Anime announced towards the end of the year.
The harem has five girls now.
* Ichi the Witch : still running. Anime hasn't been officially announced yet, but there are strong indications it's happening.
Ichi has collected at least four more pokemon.
* Shinobi Undercover : still running. No anime announced yet, though there are rumours.
Yodaka does not get a kekkai, but some of his teammates do.
* Otr of the Flame : axed in the next round.
* Harukaze Mound : axed in the next round or the one after.
* JJK Modulo : ends naturally in the first half of the year. Another JJK series is teased but not published yet.
* Someone Hertz : still running.
Neither of them won the koshien.
* Gonron Egg : axed in the next round, unless there are only 1-2 new series and Otr and Harukaze get axed first. Certainly gone by the round after.
* The Mage Next Door : survives 1-2 rounds before getting axed towards the middle of the year.
* Hero Girl and Demon Lord Call It Quits : survives a few rounds, but gets axed in the second half of the year.

* Black Clover : still running.

(It's funny how I wrote these predictions just a few weeks ago, but three of them have already been confirmed/disproven. I'll leave them as is anyway.)


For the new series, we get (at least):
- 5 more excorcist/monster hunter manga
- 3 battle manga
- 2 sports manga
- 2 romcom/romance manga
- 2 comedy/gag manga
- 1 niche hobby manga
- 1 miscellanious manga that fits either at least three of the other categories or none at all
- 1 detective manga (*holding wood*)

* Half or more of the new manga are instant flops (surviving one round at most).
* 5 or more of them get U19'ed.
* 3 series survive long enough to make it into the next year (not counting those from the last batch).

Best or most surprising development: I would say Ishu's introduction in Nue's Exorcist, that was a single development that caused a lot of surprising and some of the best developments in the manga so far, it was quite a change of status quo

Most expected Jump anime in 2026: Yozakura Family Season 2, Kill Blue, Bleach TYBW Finale & Psyren.

Kinda unrelated to the current magazine but I’ve been rewatching Naruto and man that stretch from Sasuke putting together his team to Jiraiya infiltrating the rain to Sasuke vs Itachi to the Pain arc is one of the best runs in all of shonen. Just exhilarating
