This man teased an announcement that made everyone think he was doing a new series, only for it to end up being an anime for his first one shot, only to launch a new series weeks later anyway.

Sorachi is the master of misdirection.

I'm assuming the basketball one shot is Tonde Hi ni Iru Natsu to Mushi by Satoshou Masayoshi (Momiji no Kisetsu) since there hasn't been any other basketball one shot in Jump recently.

According to Translator:

-Issue #19: Roku's Strange House by Atsushi Nakamura (Comedy)

A Hilariously Horrifying Comedy, A Boy Under Five Curses!?


-Issue #20: Summer and the Firefly Cage by Masayoshi Satosho (Basketball)

What awaits Hotaruaki, who ran away from basketball?!


-Issue #21: Class 2-B: The Hero Destroyers by Hideaki Sorachi (School & Fantasy?)

What happens to the Demon King who was driven out of the Hero’s Castle?!

Been a while since I posted (mostly just busy with school stuff) but dang this is a genuinely huge batch lol. Gag focused assumedly with both Sorachi and Agravity Boys author returning? With a dash of sports as well?

Kinda interested in all three???

We need a new gag/comedy and the premise could be fun, with some charm.

I loved the one shot so hope Satoshou can deliver in a serialization for both his sake and Jump sports sake

LMAO. Jump kicked out Hero Girl and said bring on a new school demon king series


Edit: Speaking of, if we presume HxH returning on 22/23 (which we won't know prob for a couple of weeks), that whole round is gone. Sad but all three I'll be on the lookout for. Tanizaki maybe on Jump+ or as an assistant lol

Are we sure Hero and Demon is ending? I'm partially just paranoid on the front that the newer series are seemingly popular (kinato, doctor, alien), and none of the existing series seem close to naturally ending. So presumably a June batch would end up having to cut an existing lower ranking series, and that would be Kiyoshi or Himaten unfortunately. (Like how Kill Blue and Chojo were cut last summer). Hero living an extra batch at least gives it the chance to improve, or be padding for other series. We'd already be down 3 with Modulo having ended.

Damn, Gintama is literally the ONE big WSJ series I have NOT read lmao, I feel evil that I'm gonna be reading his new series before reading Gintama.

I know he's really good at apparently balancing comedy with serious moments, but is there anything else I should be on the lookout for or excited by with him and his writing?


(Although I am a bit on edge seeing it's a Demon King/Hero type series as those aren't usuallllyy my vibe, but hey)

If HxH returns? Yeah. If not, no. They don't announce axes in advanced.

It'll be fine, Blue Box is wrapping up and could be ready by then. We still haven't seen Alien Headbutt's first ranking. Under Doctor could dip as it was expected. Kinato has no confirmation of a color page yet. Everything usually shakes up by the time a new round is starting

Speaking of, no Kinato color page. I hate this timeline

I feel like with the color page this week, Under Doctor is basically guaranteed for a 3 batch life, is it not? Unless Saito is bringing back the kind of performances series like Aliens Area had. Both Kinato and UD had like an early top 5 placement, and now UD is even getting a color page.

Jeez, a second consecutive Shinobi color page, like 2 weeks after they just pulled that same stunt? Like do shinobi fans even care enough about that? Who is this for?

Guaranteed is strong wording. If it drops afterwards, it'll get axed. Simple as that. It's more likely to live, sure. But nothing is guaranteed unless the placements live up to the hype

Shockingly, Gonron confirmed final chapter. And also, Chojo anime premiere in October

It's literally the same placement as Under Doctor 2nd ranking lol
No color page though?
Don't see how Under Doctor gets one and Kinato doesn't if Kinato isn't performing worse
