#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

I barely follow HxH news in general but he hasn't released more than 10 chapters a year since 2012 so I'd be very surprised if he did

Edit: Sorry, he did do 11 in 2016 but still very close and a decade ago

Yeah but this time he is actually more ahead of release than usual, last time he was still finishing the batch of 10 chapters while they were being released on Shonen Jump, this time he already has 10 chapters finished and it's not even announced yet and he's also been working in the next 10 for a while, so there's a slightly higher chance of a 20 chapters release this time.

I have to back Shinuki on this one Dippy.

Hey I have no stake in the game lol. I've never read, it's very possible that's the case. I just don't think it'll happen personally but I'm happy to be wrong cause that just means he's feeling healthier

My logic was just, he's finished 10 theoretically 2 weeks out? Idk how long he takes to fine tune since I'm sure he has sketches or concepts drawn but could he really do 10 in the span of 12 weeks? Or is the idea he already has 20 done and he just hasn't shown that hand yet

I get that for the anime but does the manga have to follow an anime studio's schedule?

Either way tho, if it did, could partner potentially with a future Ichi anime release

Edit: Looked it up, I guess he's heavily involved in the anime. Huh, well either way, definitely better for him to take his time than to split his focus. He'll get back when he wants 🤷

I’m not talking about the manga’s schedule, I’m talking about the mangaka (specifically Kubo) having the free time and focus on doing so. Which I would guess is focusing and fixing the TYBW arc and adding and changing things that Kubo didn’t put in or missed on when he was writing it close to a decade ago.

Edit: Because of Dippy’s own edit, my statement is out of date as we know the context.

It takes like 5ish months from the assistants to start working on the (inked) chapter for it to be submitted. So unless his return is in june or so, I'd doubt a return of 20.
As of now the assistants are working on 421-422 iirc

I’m sure the anime is top priority, then we will see BTW return.

Japanese Comic market in general

Digital market still is rising
Physical market still is declining

the market in general has a 1.7% decline

You can guess what happened during 2019 - 2021

My votes for Issue #12 of 2026:
1. Blue Box 230
2. One Piece 1174
3. Shinobi Undercover 69

4. Alien Headbutt 2
5. Ichi the Witch 70

6. Akane-banashi 194
7. Sakamoto Days 248
8. Kinato’s Magic 3
9. The Mage Next Door 14
10. Witch Watch 236
11. Hero Girl and Demon Lord Call It Quits 13
12. Under Doctor 4
13. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo 22
14. Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi 80
15. Hima-Ten! 78
16. Someone Hertz
17. Gonron Egg 15

One Piece:
That’s a really good T-Rex. Sommers is just a really horrible/good villain. The kid/guardians pairs falling was really good. That’s a fantastic design for Loki.

Blue Box:
That chapter title😳. An amusement park that has a water slide with floaters for ordinary clothed people, huh? This chapter was just soooo cute.

Sakamoto:
Mystery person saving Nagumo? Shishiba taking what Osaragi said literally was funny.

Kiyoshi:
Despite the Demon Lord cat giving us some interesting cat related play on words, I’m pretty glad we’re done with him. Anyone else thought Cook was going to heal up Kiyoshi?

Hero Girl/Demon Lord:
I forgot to mention this last chapter but I really like/find it funny how his speech bubble just has a katana to differentiate him from the others. This was a cute chapter.

Under Doctor:
The cover page being foreshadowing for what happens later in the chapter was really good. Haiji signing the reason he knows sign language was really cute and endearing.

Ichi:
I really like his power up for Inazuri and the details of taming a Majik. Didn’t think he’d use tapirman for a while so this was a surprise.

Kinato:
The were many funny gags this chapter that I enjoyed. Didn’t expect that character trait from ice lady.

Alien Headbutt:
This chapter hyped me up like I was watching a Rider show!!!!
let’s normalize putting spoiler tags for very long posts😭
Can’t help but think I’m the reason for this.😅

Binged the One Piece manga the past couple of days and made it to the end of Enie's Lobby (though technically, the arc doesn't end until Volume 46).

It was, as the kids say, Absolute Cinema. Or, I guess, Absolute Literature in this case.
