Also Gakuro and Gekka's Hollow Weapons look mighty similar to Mythra's and Pyra's from Xenoblade 2 lol, not exactly subtle with his inspirations
That reference alone makes me want to put the series on my list for future reading.

A popularity poll for those not named? Interesting.

An unnamed characters poll is such a weird concept, are background mobs a regular meme in the Japanese fanbase or something?

Remember the Soranaki Arc during the sports festival? The the first part of it was weeding out Soranaki who was literally dressed up as a background character.

The designs and sometimes standout moments these mob characters have are amazing in this series, most notably Mr. MARVELOUS

Theory time, Saying Kawae will draw special illustration for the Top 11 makes me think they're planning another cover & lead color page to when the results are posted because 11 characters are not going to fit in just a regular cp, maybe they're going to do the same as they did with Kagurabachi Announcing the anime adaptation alongside the popularity poll results in a cover & lead cp? :hmm

Edited with a correction, there will be no online voting, only from postcard which will be included in this week Jump and vol 15, the website will be for fans to pick the nicknames of the not named characters so they can send the votes

Shinuki no Reborn,

What are your thoughts on the latest one shot? The one with the Dragon Butler from Takahata Yuu as well as the ones in jump giga. Been curious to see your thoughts for a while now, especially with how you did with the previous jump giga issue.


Anyway, Nuesmoker is finally gonna be at ease, mostly cause he is already on cloud nine but neck good for him. Now just to wait for the anime announcement.

Also, some interesting color pages, the top two ones for me would be Nue Exorcist and Blood Marriage.

Extremely likely, they don't really have any reason not to do this, would use one cover for both results and anime.

From choco eggs to vending machines, I would not be all that surprised if Kawae next series after nue is food related in some way.

I always wonder if these replacement oneshots were going to be published somewhere else and they move it to Jump or if they were not meant to be published initially.

I think they probably have a lot of these mini one shots, specially gag ones stored from newbie authors that send to them so they can use it in a emergency.

That's always been my guess, I imagine authors make a decent amount of these 10-20 page oneshots for practice or as an initial proof of concept/series pitch without committing to drawing a full 50 pages.

They're probably not intended to be published (since WSJ doesn't run short oneshots very often otherwise), but are good enough to put in the magazine if they need to fill the space.

You can notice his food loving from the manga too (Nue often shown snacking, Gakuro cooking various asian dishes, even non-japanese, Kazusa's love for her mom's croquettes, etc.)
