Would I be a negative nancy by saying that Ichi (Uroro in this case, but still Ichi) doesn't need 3 volume covers? lmao
You’re not the only one. Here’s hoping Usazaki switches up her Ichi covers one day.

Pretty confident we're only getting two parts out of KGB. Since the first was all about Chihiro protecting/learning about his dads legacy. And now we have a shift into him making his own. I can't immediately see where you'd progress from there, though I guess it's a question of whether PT2 will be about the same length as PT1 or longer :grumble It feels like there's still so much to do 😭
It's 3. Anyone who read the manga should know exactly why — it's blatantly foreshadowed with the play in ch 52-53, and plays have a very concrete 3 act structure so if it follows the foreshadowing there it should be 3 parts. I don't think the division will be as explicit though, but I'd hope it is for consistency.

Y'know, whenever I read something like this, I really feel like we are reading a movie out of KGB. It is impressive how he loves movies.

Not the only one who thinks that. There have been plenty of characters that could have a spotlight right now on the volume covers.

I concede a possibility of two major parts + a final part in name only for the big final confrontation and/or epilogue, but yeah I don't see it being as explicit as that for my reasons above, even if the series technically does follow the three act structure...

hastily bookmarks so I can be clowned on when we reach KGB PT7.

Ichi the Witch Volume 7 Cover
Contrary to the contrary, especially given my well documented disdain for solo character covers, I kinda dig it if only because it'll look really fucking good on a shelf with volume six.

The next Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #13 will be released on Tuesday, February 24, instead of Monday, Feb 23, due to the Emperor's Birthday national holiday on Feb 23, so there's a very good possibility of leaks (ToC and stuff) being delayed by 24 hours, but things can happen, we will only know in the day 🙏

Signature Updated! :yondaime

And after 5 years we say goodbye to The Elusive Samurai, it was a great run! We also say goodbye to Otr of the Flame & Harukaze Mound! And say Welcome to Under Doctor, Kinato's Magic & Alien Headbutt, good luck to the 3!

And we also got some movements, it maybe temporary until Hunter x Hunter returns but for now Nue's Exorcist finally reached the 1st tier!!! 🎊 And Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo & Someone Hertz already reached 2nd tier! 👍

Nue in the top 7 oldest now, damn.

This time next year it and Akane will likely be rounding out the top 5. Akane might even hit 3rd oldest after Roboco.

It's crazy to see how much can change in a few short months. The manga industry is crazy, huh?

Anyhow, Shinuki, do you have any bets as to how the upcoming issues will play out once the Witch Watch issue is out?

Mine is the following:

Issue 14: Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo
Issue 15: One Piece
Issue 16: New Series
Issue 17: New Series
Issue 18: Blue Box
Issue 19; Nue Exorcist

I don't think we will get another Future Jump Project this year, but I could be wrong. Happy to eat my own words on this thought, in case I'm wrong.

Lastly, are there a couple of favorite rookies or veterans that you expect to make their debut in the new batch?

Am willing to bet that, based on a previous post, we might be getting the author of Neru: Way of the Martial Arts back to form in the magazine. As for the other, it's likely a rookie, so I'm betting it's someone from the future jump project or a rookie who made one shots in jump giga but was given the go-ahead to make a full debut in the magazine. I'm willing to be surprised if it's a GFC winner or participant who debuts; I think it's likely Kuji Tabigoro or Shirokuma Shirasaki. If not those two, then Yuufoo Gakuji, Sengi Chiaki, or Machida Reiya. Inclined to believe it's Gakuji, mostly because the author's art style is very reminiscent of Jujutsu Kaisen art, and the editors might use that to their advantage somehow once Modulo ends.

Nue in the top 7 oldest now, damn.

This time next year it and Akane will likely be rounding out the top 5. Akane might even hit 3rd oldest after Roboco.
It reminds me of how far it came from having the worst first chapter to growing far above it, which is not an easy accomplishment to overcome.

Feels less like time is moving fast and more we just don't have a lot of old hits lol. If Roboco really ends in the next 2 years, the oldest series would potentially be Akane (excluding One Piece) at 6 years by 2028

It's more that nothing lasts as long these days. Compare it to 2010 for example where you had 6 series beyond ch 300 at the same time (Kochikame, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Gintama, Reborn).

All of the hits in the latter half of the 2010s ended before ch 300, and it looks like that trend's continuing with the 2020s hits (except for Roboco, it'll probably still be around for a couple more years).
