Kohei Horikoshi (My Hero Academia) is returning on Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #37-38 with a new One-shot ("Don't Laugh, Shijima-san")
Premise: Boy meets Girl horror manga

Let's fucking go, MHA already had some great horror-like moments, can't wait to see his artwork for this.

I am glad Kohei seemingly sticks to his plan and want to be hopeful about this but dang why do I feel romance part was pushed to his throat by editorial along with designs?

Why would he name the title of the oneshot specifically around this angle if it was forced lol?

Man, the mha fanbase behave so weird around shipping.

Because its based on content? I mean what logic is this?
So the thing you speculate to be "forced down by editorial" is the main component of the manga? Don't be stupid.

I am not the one in this converastion. I meant it was added on development stage. Does the name Dandadan rings the bell?

You are the only one here speculating that the romance element is forced down by editorial eventhough Horikoshi emphasise the significance of the pair in the literal title of the oneshot.

If it wasn't important, he wouldn't have included it and just name it something else emphasising the ghostly aspect of the manga. The title name is clearly a play on something like "Don't tease me, Nagatoro-san" A ROMANCE MANGA.

I read the Kawaguchi oneshot this issue, it wasn't anything notable.

I will say the characters were an improvement on his two series' protagonists but the premise is significantly weaker being just exorcising a ghost in school, the combat was still a one hit victory, and there was far too much explaining things (the girls gimmick is meant to be that she explains too much, but it ultimately just felt like an excuse to infodump even if it did a little quip on it after).

If it leaned more towards the horror it could work, like Dark Gathering, but I don't think this is the premise that'll finally be what makes Kawaguchi find success.

I'm definitely more looking forward to next week's oneshot to see if Horikoshi can pull off a good horror atmosphere (especially if he's mixing it with a romcom).

Anyone wanna make a bet if Kinato will escape dead last again tomorrow?

I think it will, and 2B will be bottom 5 again (not necessarily below Kinato tho). DttF dead last.

Hal Formula bottom 5 or ranked below 9

The next issue I think is a double issue for Obon? Which means a group cover and One Piece lead colour.

This should be Sakamoto Days' final cover, I wonder if they give it sole runner up status to One Piece as a big 2 now that Blue Box is gone and they don't have a clear big 3 any more, or if they'll show it/Ichi/Kagurabachi/etc all fairly equally and just have a whole group on the 2nd tier.

What?! We’re getting both types of one-shots from Kawaguchi and Horikoshi? Gotta say, someone better get on those fan scans so we can see if both the student and master can deliver.
Nah, Viz is doing the Horikoshi one-shot, they'll be crazy not to

Very sure the new big 3 for the cover is Ichi KGB and OP

They won't replace Sakamoto while it's still there. It'll be either OP and Sakamoto, a trio with Kagurabachi or quartet with Ichi.

It's a One Shot
You're as sharp as a (blind) weasel

But you're not talking to someone who can't read, and my comment was meant to be ironic and it was in a context that wasn't about the present but about the future (since the oneshot comes out on August 10, and Sakamoto Days is rumored to end around mid-September, if not later)

Your eagerness to act like know-it-alls has blinded you to the context and irony of others' comments.
If it's not the way you say it is, then everything is wrong no matter what.

Peace
