My tweet with Alien Headbutt color page has 1.4k likes and something as minor as the Inui Akira author comment has nearly 900 likes, the hype for this series seems to be real, not even Under Doctor got this amount and it was pretty hyped on Twitter at the time, the color page got 420 likes, so Alien went from the totally "least interesting" series for everybody to the "everybody is hyped about it" in just 1/2 weeks :grin

Yeah, The Elusive Samurai is 100% ending next week, this week chapter is called "Epilogue 1/2":

To you think its possible that for the next issue after we might be getting a full blown lead cover page for the return of hunter x hunter or Witch Watch?

Also, did you like my previous guess on who may do a debut within five to six issues from now? I added Kongon and Shou which I feel are strong contenders alongside Izumi Hakaze and Yu Odoriba(I have a strange feeling we might finally see him debut this year).

I think Witch Watch will for sure get the cover & lead color for the 5th anniversary

I mean, yeah of course witch watch is getting an anniversary cover, same for blue box and nue exorcist. I say this cause I expect those three alongside Akane Banashi to be part of the five to six issues before the next batch comes. I do think a one piece cover is coming up but I do not know when.

Some people (myself lol) actually were hyped from the first preview image, but it feels good to see so much hype now, I hope the chapter will deliver because the cover and color pages look absolutely insane 🔥

What is going on in the Japanese side towards alien headbutt? Do you have some grasp on the situation there? Cause the tastes there and in the west vary in different ways, so its good to see where its at currently.

Since chapter is not out yet can only base on 5ch opinions about cover and color page, and it seems like they're okay with it, saying color page is cool but the hype can definitely be felt way more here

I am actually starting to think Inui Akira is Inui Shutarou

This premise is just as metal and punk as his oneshots, and I'm seeing some similarities with the art with his last oneshot which was released in 2021

I also am just hoping he's finally arrived to jump after wanting him to come for years
Page 2 of Sandstorm boarder has the the same piranha looking monster from Alien Headbutt LCP. The way the teeth and mouth is drawn looks the same.

The worm monster also bare resemblance to the one from the LCP, not 1:1, but the design choice is the same.

The way he draws tongue and his hatching style checks out too.

I think you hit the bullseye with this one.

I don't think anyone mentioned this yet


So we won't see them with a new series until the end of the year at the earliest probably.

I did not notice you guys drop the other color page too. That looks really sick. I am so scared, guys. For real.

Alien Headbutt: Okay, that was a interesting read for sure, it's not exactly what i expected based in the text previews, but i liked, some info about the chapter, with important stuff in spoilers:

-The art isn't as "refined" as the lead color page made it seems, it's not bad of course, it gets very visually intense during the fights
-Mc is very hot headed
-Chapter is pretty violent, i was surprised by the violence and blood for a Shonen Jump first chapter.
-For me, it looks more like a seinen manga from Young Jump, but that might just be me.
-Pretty simple and straightforward story but fun, the summary, only check if you're okay with being heavily spoiled:
Mc lives in a island of 5,000 people, big poor family, everybody has the same face kkkk, he dreams of being a pro wrestler since a kid, family cheers on him to leave the island and become pro, jump to 2 years in the future with him being a pro and fighting someone, quite violent, not your usual WWE, wins, gets the belt, go back to the island and family to celebrate after 2 years, island is deserted, and stuff broke in the streets, suddenly a alien appears and behead the guy that was guiding him, mc starts fighting the alien in the spot, pretty intense and violent fight, after almost dying he suplex the alien and win, the alien still has a final surprising move but mc tanks it, end of the chapter is him super pissed saying he will kill all aliens and get the island back

The impression i got is that this will be like the "crazy violent fun" type of manga, nothing really deep (at least based in the first chapter)

I'm hesitant. (Probably should've not read the spoiler but the series was confusing the hell outta me lol). I think it's a series where if it can keep being fun and good looking, it'll last but if the art isn't as polished on ch.1, I'm hesitant. I also don't know how much the premise can go for a long-term serialization but I'm willing to be impressed!

The art is fine, it kinda fits the intensity of most of the content, it's just not as polished as the color page make it look like.

The Alien Headbutt pages in question:

Btw, these ones are pretty good looking artwise.
