Very sure i've said the same thing about super when daima came and no one had a problem.

Rule #3: wishing a entire series to be retconned just because you don't like it is pretty much toxic and unnecessary behavior towards X series 👍

If this was about other series it would be deleted too, i just did with posts about wanting One Piece to be finished.

Very clearly about the period of Naruto becoming Hokage, judging from this teaser. If it's really drawn by Kishimoto himself, I would guess at it being a 1 volumes miniseries in WSJ like the Scarlet Spring manga he did.

My speculation - Naruto wants Sasuke to become Hokage, Sasuke pushes Naruto to do so believing he doesn't deserve to remain in the village, and they have big fight about it as the climax (and also we'll see a bunch of other characters as younger adults than in Boruto of course, for the sake of giving them new character designs).

Perhaps taking over for a round when Witch Watch concludes? Imagine if we get One Piece, Naruto and Bleach running at the same time.
I find it hilarious how somehow kishi always get way more fanfare and build up.

Samurai 8 was teased with a lot of advertisements prior to its new serialization. Very unlike any other new mangas by other veterans.

The new Naruto manga/one shot got teased literal months before release via drip marketing and hype PV. Meanwhile JJK modulo just shows up out of nowhere unannounced - just shows up in the new serialization preview like any other new manga. People did not even know it was a jjk spinoff until the leak/official release.

This is not a jab or something. Just an observation lol.

I suspected they decide to not mention modulo being a jjk spinoff, was to avoid any unnecessary speculation and backslash prior to release. The new artstyle and the alien setting threw a lot of people off. By making it a surprise, people actually had to read it first to judge. Smart tbh. People got way more expectations the longer you let something teased and brew.

All these "Big 3 is back" tweets made me think: why is HunterxHunter always omitted? Yes, in a way the hiatus made it to not be in the same period as the other 3 big series in their peak moments, but even so HunterxHunter is from the same era and I think its popularity and legacy is basically as big as Naruto or Bleach.

Saying this too because there are real chances of HunterxHunter launching its next batch of chapters in 2027 (didn't Togashi end like chapter 431 already?)

Jump itself rarely position HxH as a flagship series in group covers and etc due to how the manga is always in hiatus, it's no surprise people don't do either. You answered yourself, HxH always being on hiatus basically prevented the manga from truly firm itself at the same level as Naruto & Bleach in terms of popularity in the west despite being constantly praised as a "masterpiece".

Probably the worst time to be posting this but Minya Hiraga (Neru: Way of the Martial Artist) joined a one-shot competition for *reads notes* Dengeki Comic Regulus with one millon yen and a serialization deal on the line and made the finals, meaning their entry was published today:

https://comic-walker.com/detail/KC_021436_S/episodes/KC_0214360000200011_E

Kinda funny that they can still qualify for an "up-and-coming artist" competition considering they've being publishing works on and off for WSJ for the past 5+ years but I guess that's a small benefit to never having a success.

However, it is not certain that this new Naruto manga will debut anytime soon.

The release could be as far out as 2028 or even 2029.

They said we're getting more info on it in Jump Festa which would be odd if it was still almost 2 years away

That's because the western fanbase is obsessed with the concept of "Big 3". Hunter x Hunter was never such thing.

Feels like a bigger concept among fans today than it actually did during the 2000s. I'm from that era and the first time I remember hearing about 'Big 3' was like early 2010s lol. I was a big Naruto fan in the 2000s but didn't watch Bleach and One Piece till years later. The other anime I remember watching at that time were Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), and Code Geass. And those series especially DN were super popular but fans today act like people only watched the big 3 back then. At least in the US, we only watched Naruto which is why I always say the Big 3 concept is overvalued by fans today lol
