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

Drawn to the Fire Color Page?! Didn't expect that but im glad that it is at least safe for the next round. Predicting the next round of series feels very hard with the current schedule lol

Issue #34 - 07/21
Issue #35 - 07/27
Issue #36 - 08/03
Issue #37-38 - 08/10
Issue #39 - 08/24
Issue #40 - 08/31
Issue #41 - 09/07
Issue #42-43 - 09/14
Issue #44 - 09/28

I would have expected the next round togo from #39-41 with Blue Box, Sakadays & maybe Kinato leaving? Since Togashi just submitted Chapter 422 it seems like HxH would leave after Issue 41 again (just with a shorter hiatus this time) so maybe Kinato can go on for one extra round? August / September will be messy :popcorn I don't even know what to say about Under Doctor at this point

First 20 minutes of the bachi anime get shown off at AX tomorrow... save me, low quality camrip

I thought it would be an open event for japanese audiences. But then the real anime will just be released April 2027.

It hurts for me to say it, but it's very likely the same scalpers to those pokemon cards. They don't read manga, they aren't around long enough to know how natsucomi card works, or even how one piece books are supposed to look like. They saw one piece and how it got sold in mercari and thought they could resell it with higher price (they are bragging about how they can sell them at 9k yen). Literally what I saw on facebook with a simple search on natsucomi. It sucks and I hope this bombs them
They are dumb as hell.

It will drop within a week, I am sure.

Saw lots of OP cards being listed (NOT sold) for 5k yen each. Then there are one set of 10 (include OP) for just 6k yen (that is 600y ish each). Last year's Natsukomi dropped fast to just less than 90 yen EACH lol.

Drawn to the Fire preview text for next week color page int he Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #33 of 2026:

"Get Hooked on the Thrill of Basketball! Color Page for the start of the Spring Regional Tournament Preliminaries!!!"



--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

Preview for "Eye Boy", the one shot by Yachi Taiyo that will be published in the Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #33:

"Bek and Keigo were just lazy NEETs, but...! The everyday life you want to protect is here. A sci-fi friendship story in 47p & color page!"





Btw, this one shot, at least a former version since the mc in the preview looks different, has already been published in the Jump+ App & also translated on Manga Plus:

Interesting they didn’t say it was for popularity; they usually do that. My guess is the whole batch is getting one and they’re just seeing if the sports series can get off the ground.

I’m just fascinated by the Under Doctor situation and the state of Jump once SD ends. Very curious what Saito has planned if anything.

A Studio Pierrot Production Manager just followed the official Nue account...

This could very well mean nothing, but it's worth pointing out!

This is absolutely ridiculous.


I have no words. Scalpers can go die but this is one of the strangest things I've ever seen.

welcome back Mash 🤩🤩🤩
Feels like the Mashle author should come back soon. He's going to have to work on his plot work, but if Rococo does end in the future I could see him doing the resident gag series.

Yeah, this is why this kind of shit shouldn't be rewarded in anyway. No, it's not helping anything, it's just ruining it for all actual manga fans. Stores will start having to ask for IDs because of this scalping shit and foreigners will be blamed as usual, so maybe it'll get harder to buy manga in Japan.

By the way, this proves the scalping issue ISN'T minor if they can fill the whole top 500 with scalped volumes. Pretending otherwise is just ignoring reality.

I’m just wondering when people are going to admit that scalpers are dumb as bricks and clearly think that stuff like obi are special and command a higher price. They already think these cards are, clearly they’d also think an obi by an established mangaka would also be. And let’s not pretend that scalpers aren’t a continuous problem, constantly buying out stock once they refill.

I talked about this with a friend and they said they think Komoto is a one and done author due to how Komoto comes across to them.

We gotta remember this is Logan Paul’s fault. I’m genuinely glad that the magazine is relatively unaffected by sales, because imagine if something like gonron egg came out slightly later, and got scalped. Would we be seeing this big narrative about the secret magic of gonron and how it’s the will of the people for it to survive for 300 chapters? Actually gonron is a very popular series, we just don’t get it.

Well, this comes as more fuel to the Under Doctor scalping fire.

TOC will reign as the sole method to know the popularity of a manga. Forget about sales for now.

I seriously doubt there is any profit to be made by scalping japanese manga that is printed on horrible quality paper and that they will just immediately reprint the volumes lol

Absolutely insane it can influence the top 500 like this though.

They're pretty much giving these volumes for free, they're after these dumb cards. Congrats Saito for finally artificially inflating Shinobi sales, hilarious how it was handpicked to be in this event instead of more popular series, lmao.
