I wonder how it works for these type of special chapters. Do they ever get collected into the tankoubon?

Kinato seems like it's about to end up as Saito's Mamayuyu

They usually do, they did this with Assassination Classroom too

Correct me if i am wrong, i think for Elusam they gonna need to release 140 extra pages to collect the special chapters into new tankoubon right? The previous Elusan volumes has collected the entire previous main story chapters from WSJ

Bruh, non veteran last placed serialisation really has a big handicap. Cannon Masters jump plus views is ass cheeks.

It's over.

I figured you were just asking if the special chapter would be tacked to the end of the final volume
AssClass released a few shorter special chapters after its serialization ended that were thrown into the final volume so I assume it'll be the same situation with Elusam, just with that one chapter instead of several

There’s a manga that was billed as a horror-comedy in the previews but has absolutely no horror elements—it’s just comedy and nothing new—yet it’s a hit, while one of the few sports manga Jump has is failing. And then people complain that Jump doesn't invest in sports titles.

They can also include old one shots. Assassination Classroom, for example, had the 4 extra chapters they released a little bit after the manga ended in the magazine, and then the department store one shot Matsui did between Neuro's ending and Assassination Classroom's start of serialization.

I don't think F-Ken was released in volume form yet, so Elusive Samurai's last volume probably going to include it. Matsui could also just have a smaller last volume though. Neuro's last volume is only 6 chapters.

I knew you'd bring this back up lol, its such an odd thing to harp on. A series can be horror inspired but not be scary. It has a main cast of monsters. If it was frankenstein, dracula, a mummy, and a wolfman, would you be harping about the same thing? What about when they showed up in dragon ball?

Has Elusam last volume released yet? If not, how many chapters it gather for last vol currently?

I don't think there is anything related to Roku being good and a hit and a sports series failing. Drawn to the Fire is failing because of its own demerits and because it didn't reach a substantial audience.
