#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.

#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

Haven't been keeping up with any Jump series weekly since MHA, but I had to return for Sorachi.

Thought it was a strong start and already gave me a few loud laughs. Intrigued to see how the series will continue.

From 0 tô 100, right back to a 100 to a 0. Honestly welcome back Sorachi.

See.

I knew it.

I knew the Jump press not gonna announce something as mundane as just a cover.

My money has always been either an epilogue or a modulo spin off (gege does not necessarily need to write it. In fact, i think he probably won't write it. And it does not need to be necessarily drawn by iwasaki). Maybe even both epilogue and a spinoff

Hero Destroyerz was... fine? It had some good gags but way too many toilet jokes (which will probably keep coming consider it's a core part of the set-up) and I still don't find the premise itself very interesting. I definitely prefer Roku so far as a new gag series.

I'm sure this'll gather a fanbase due to Sorachi, but I really need to see what the other regular characters are like because it's not leaving much of an impression on me from this intro.

Wasn't an epilogue chapter already announced or have I internalized my own cope?

Hero Destroyerz: unc still got it lol.
I don't see this series becoming popular in the west but i'll keep reading it cuz I like Sorachi's humor. Can't wait for him to drop an occasional serious story arc lol.

Dragon Ball is my favorite Jump romcom.
And Bleach

Afaik an epilogue is just a speculation for now and not officially announced? But i have been avoiding the fandom lately so u may know better than me

(Btw before anyone assume i am a jjk or modulo fans coping for spin off, i am not. The opposite, i am a jjk and modulo big hater and there is nothing more i want than see it never ever getting any spinoff and i want it to die. But anyway ofc that is not gonna happen. I am just speculating what make most sense for jump direct)

Epilogue was fan cope I believe, I think the page count may be pointed towards that being a possibility? But I'm unsure, I'm fine with the series as is. Either way yeah, I think the Jump Press news is just merch lol.

I think Hero Destroyerz will do well enough just to coast by on its action alone. If the gags click with the readers, it’s probably 99% safe. If it doesn’t, the action may well be what carries it alone to a respectable shelf life.

And Bleach
And if you ask certain fans, the two leads may well be rom-com leads of their own *snorts*

Geez, imagine being Hero Girl and Demon Lord's author: Getting axed only for a veteran to come back the exact issue after your cancellation with a similar story about a demon lord living in modern Japan, and just doing everything better than you. That's being buried in salt after being riddled with bullet holes. I would never recover.

Yeah, Sorachi still got it. It's a little text heavy, but his specific sense of humor is universal. He picked a topic that resonates with modern kids (demon lords and isekai are all the rage), set his characters up so he can have a battle arc whenever he wants, and the gags are advanced. The payoff on the shoulderpads is masterclass. Maybe a little too much potty humor, but the joke isn't just shit, it's a double entendre to Akira's suppressed violence that keeps things classy.

The only thing that could possibly wreck Sorachi's trajectory at this point is a murder in a boy's toilet. To no one's surprise, it's looking like a hit.

Excited for Class 2-B, not worried about reception because after seeing the chapter i really doubt the jp side will not love it lol
Enjoyed 2B a lot but Shinuki, I thought you said it'd be clear why they translated destroyers with a z. I didn't quite get that part.

2B is definitely the strongest first chapter I've seen in a while for gag manga. Very 00's feel. I like the twist on the premises of both isekai and hero v. demon lord.

This is definitely set up to be hundred of chapters if Sorachi wants it. I hope Viz releases physicals if it's successful and not ignore it like they did with Witch Watch and Gintama

Hope JP audiences will like it, but I am in my feelings with them after the poor support for Kinato.

This batch should produce a successful sports and/or gag manga (I think Roku is out). What do you guys want for next batch? I think Alien Headbutt, Kinato ( 😭), and Sakamoto will be finished by then. Along with the open Modulo spot, that should be 4 series. I presume HxH will be one of them, but I am hoping Saito goes all out on fantasy action adventure. Definitely seems like a big set up for exorcist is on his mind though with the upcoming one shots. Any debuts or returns anyone's expecting?
