WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP THREAD RULES​

#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

What about Ruri Dragon and Nue's Exorcist?
Nue is already pretty niche. I think it'll be a pretty good anime but I don't personally see it turning into some widespread success.

Ruri I feel like has already lost a ton of its popularity. I think a lot of it's hype was the type of manga it was being in Shonen Jump specifically. I'm not a fan of the genre so could be me being too critical but I don't think a casual anime fan would see the premise and think it's anything unique.
Again, I trust the studio to do an incredible job and maybe it blows up but it also releases so slowly that I think hype will die pretty quickly with TikTok brain syndrome. People aren't gonna wanna wait 3 years for season 2 and Shindou is just not publishing enough chapters rn

If I'm not mistaken Leaks drop tonight So i'm curious to see what gets cover next issue. If I have to guess it's most likely One Piece.

It's a strong possibility, but the odd thing is that Redon hasn't mentioned it yet, so I wonder if it's actually going to happen now. Redon is the one piece expert here.

I just hope its either that or a new batch, either or is fine by me.

For a new batch, I already made some guesses, like Yu Odoriba, Shou Fukamori, Tabigoro Kuji, and a returning veteran. Other names I would drop include Reiya Machida, Izumi Hakase, Shirasaki Shirokuma, Senki Chiki, Kongon, and Takegamo Itsuki. For veterans, I think the likes of Tadahiro Miura, Natsuki Hokami, Masayoshi Satoshō, Daisuke Enoshima, Minya Hiraga, or Kazu Kakazu.

I feel like the fact that is being done by KyoAni will be really crucial for the series since it always does the absolute greatness. City was the most incredible anime I've seen in recent years and throughout all those years, KyoAni animes have been really great. So I really think this is what is gonna change gears for the series.

Yeah i don't think One Piece is going to get a cover & lead color page for issue #19, and isn't necessarily because redon didn't confirmed in the spoilers but because every time One Piece gets a cover & lead cp for X issue if it has a chapter published in the issue before we have the editor note in the final page confirming a cover & lead cp, and there's no editor note in the final page for next chapter, i went as far as 2024 to check, and when we get a cover & lead cp but redon doesn't confirm earlier is because most of the time One Piece takes a break in the issue before getting a cover, so there's no way to get a confirmation through the chapter leaks since there's no chapter to leak.

I'm not saying impossible that it's only being revealed in the preview page for next issue but is just very unlikely to happen, so the "new series round" stocks just got a lot higher for issue #19, unles Ichi the Witch gets a random cover, there's just nothing else to get a cover for next issue, so here is my prediction:

-New serialization round, 3 new series on issue #19, #20 & #21 + Hunter x Hunter returns on #22-23. It will be a veteran, a failed newbie and a total newbie, maybe finally one of the GFC winners? Anyway first series will either be either a battle shounen from Iwashiro Toshiaki or a mix of action & ecchi from Tadahiro Miura, and no i will not predict Naoshi since there's way too much romcom/slice of life going on on Jump right now. The other 2 series are going to be a sport, hopefully basket and some hybrid of genres!

-Color pages will be: Akane-banashi (2nd consecutive cp), Kinato's Magic for popularity and Ichi the Witch

-Alien Headbutt 1st ranking will be in the lower middle

-Bottom 5 will be: Gonron Egg (still not the end), The Mage Next Door, Hero Girl & Demon Lord, Hima-Ten and Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi

-Top 5 will be: Ichi the Witch, One Piece, Sakamoto Days, Blue Box and Kinato's Magic

I'm surprised we got nothing on Kagurabachi anime since its "leak" on 2024. It has been almost 2 years with nothing but an allegedly production confirmation.

Hey guys, I'm curious about something.
Are you guys familiar with this special issue of Jump from 2013 called "Jump VS" where it's basically a collection of battle one-shots by all sorts of rookie mangaka. There are plenty of one-shots in there by some noteworthy names such as the Stealth Symphony pilot, a one-shot by the Magico author, pilot versions of Iron Knight, Yoakemono & Cyborg Roggy, and one-shots by Gen Osuga, Ryo Ishiyama, Tatsuya Suganuma & the ST&RS duo.
I came here to ask this because I am curious if anyone has this issue and/or the raws for the various one-shots in here because I'm very curious about a lot of these one-shots because I can't seem to find anything about them online and I would greatly appreciate it if anyone's able to, please and thanks in advance
