#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.

#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.

Honestly Modulo has impressed me by how many interesting characters it’s had already in less than 20 chapters. Yuka, Tsurugi, Maru, and Dabura all have really characterization in a short amount of time. The latter is well written and is even bringing the hype moments and aura
I will vouch only for Dabura. However, I think Yuka and Tsurugi are pretty boring.
So far, i think the aliens have been better. I also like Cross.

I'm thinking more of a power up, a "second division" inside the power system itself.

Not everyone who uses the power can use this kinda of stronger ability. And when it's used is a hype and aura moment for the manga.
In Jump, Devil Fruit Awakenings are probably the closest thing currently.

I am still of a strong opinion that Gege completely fumbled by involving his old MC this MUCH in Modulo. Yuji completely overshadows all the current new characters. And it really shouldn't have been the case for such a short series of 25 chapters. Annoying.

Literally most people are no longer reading for the new characters, but only for Yuji
He's been in like 5 pages at most

even he appears only in 5 pages it's clear that whole series was being hyped up from his situation. I mean in the first few chapters we get to see him using his jacket and then the whole plot focus completely on his existence, and his possible appearance (indirectly)

You got the app to see it? Can you check it again in 4 or so hrs.

I look at old posts and you post almost all of them.
Sorry was off but right now, after 24h + 7h is at 96k views



Good numbers for the first day for sure 👍

One week its a completely different alien manga with JJK name slapped on it for money, other week the whole plot is only about Yuji's return. Just admit you're not over the original ending lol. I didn't like it very much either but I'm not going to delude myself into denying the fact that Modulo is legit one of the best things to come out of Gege's soup of random ideas that is JJK.

This manga is best enjoyed when you realize Kenjaku was Gege's self insert, just his brain randomly introducing new chaotic ideas to keep as much interesting situations happening as possible without any rhyme or deep reason.

Roboco actually looks cute for once, unironically. Truly a miracle.

TOC prediction time.

I think the top six will consist of One Piece, Ichi the Witch, Someone Herzt, Sakamoto Days, Kagurabachi, and Blue Box.

For the middle part, i think its going to go for Me and Roboco, Shinobi Undercover, Nue's Exorcist, Himaten and Elusive Samurai.

The rest is likely at the bottom.

For the next issue, we know of Kaigeki no Kinato color page, so I'm going with the likes of both Someone Herzt and Nue Exorcist for color pages.

I'm going to go ahead and bet that Alien Headbutt is either a sports or delinquent manga based on the preview image so far.

PLEASE BE ROOKIES ANIME
The source is Morita tweet: "

"Big news/announcement coming soon!"



Just saying, it can be a new series (which will obviously not be on WSJ) but i'm inclined to think is a Rokudenashi Blues anime since we have that collaboration with McDonalds out of nowhere 2 weeks ago.

Curious to see what it is. Hope its the anime for those that loved the manga.

Say Shinuki, did you look at those Harada Kumori one shots I posted? Just to show you why I was felt led down on his official one shot debut on weekly shonen jump.

Also like the ones directed at Akio Bulldog? Its a different art style than what you see but I found it charming nonetheless.

I might bring over other one shots from jump gigs and talk about some of its authors here or there.

You know what I think?

We need niche stuff, that is, where some of the more creative series are made. Whether it's good or bad, it's always a breath of fresh air.

I say let Shinosuke Toujo in and share what he can do. Who knows, it could be a hit with horror/action/comedy fans.

Now, here is another author I would be quite interested in if they were to debut in the magazine, not anytime soon, mind you, but I can see the potential, and that individual in question would be the likes of Akio Bulldog(Yes, that is the name of the author in question, and yes i did chuckle a bit).

Here are two one-shots he produced last year, starting from Jump Giga Summer 2025:



Here is the one made in Jump Giga 2025 Spring:

Hanashi no Nagai Satsujinki is the name you are looking for regarding the one-shot made by the author in question


Once again, feel free to agree or disagree on this matter. Just wanted to share thoughts on a different newcomer.

Also, Shinuki, here are the previous one-shots by Harada Kumori, the author who made that one-shot "Ihoujin" in this year's Weekly Shonen Jump that you thought wasn't really good.

Harinezumi no Jirenma by Harada Kumori in Jump Giga Spring 2025

Bingo from Jump Giga Summer 2025:



See why i was kinda miffed with Ihoujin when compared to his previous works?
Curious to see what it is. Hope its the anime for those that loved the manga.

Huh, Akio Bulldog surprised me, his drawing abilities are pretty good, he can draw action scenes for sure, great coreography and use of angles, he only needs to refine the overall art, make it less "drafty", still looks his lines still quite rough, but i think he will probably be very read to debut in 1/2 years if he keeps improving.

The Bingo one shot is interesting but overall his art needs more work.
