Gege Akutami & Yuji Iwasaki final author comments for Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo:

"Seeing my work featured alongside Iwasaki-san was the most rewarding experience! See you next time" (Gege)

"I was barely keeping up & burned out in six months! I'll recharge & come back stronger!" (Iwasaki)

I am not surprised iwasaki is completely burned out. Imagine going from Cipher with hardly any CP LCP or promo art to do, to the barrage if CP/LCP and other promo arts. Crazy. Thus guy is very subtly sending a SOS

Additionally, Iwasaki's art quality is so insane for a weekly manga. How tf he did it. And it is not like he use a lot of stock images like Yukinobu does.

This is not a jab at Yukinobu btw. He works smart and using stock image is a legit way of working. And to be fair Yukinobu is even more impressive because he is the author too

It's a lot easier when the artist is only taking care of the art, Yusuke Murata worked on Eyeshield 21 for 7 years with a crazy amount of lead color pages and magazine covers and he just kept improving his art through the serialization lol

Definitely looking forward for Iwasaki to return with whoever else picks him up. His art in Cipher Academy was excellent but I didn't vibe with his character designs. His adaptation of Gege's character designs though was like putting a fresh coat of paint on a ol' reliable car. Hope to see him again, this time hopefully making a fresh debut with a less veteran author to go for the long run.

I missed gonron egg debuting at 120 for volume 1? Unironically not bad at all. People were predicting debuts in like the 300s, that cover must've helped it a lot, or it might genuinely have some fans.

The other side of that special poster is a Live-Action version of One Piece Volume 12 cover 😂😂😂

Lol, Sanji isn't even trying. :D

They literally just made them do poses in front of a poster...

Yeah, no new series, Sakamoto Days will have the cover & lead color pages :narsleepy
I won't lie, I was expecting it by now.

I think the new batch will be around issue 17 or 18 as Under Doctor would have around 8 chapters out by then, that is if Blue Box does not get the lead cover by then as its anniversary is drawing closer.

By the way, Shinuki happy that Omusuke is back even if its a one shot?

Also, on you veteran list, kinda surprised you did not chose the likes of the author of Neru: way of the martial arts, primarily because there is a lot of buzz of him making a return so I thought it would be quite an easy guess right now that he is possibly returning in this next batch.

Considering that Neru's author tweeted that he was aiming for a serialization just a few weeks ago and that the serialization process takes months, I think it's very unlikely to see him come back for this next batch

Huh, thought the tweet was to confirm that the serialization was already in progress. My bad.

Shinobi is a two man team too with lots of CP and the art is not as impressive as Iwasaki 🤭
