Has there been any details on what the mangaka’s of Ruri Dragon, D Gray man, and world trigger transfers outside of health? I guess people like Hokazano are struggling meeting deadlines due to exhaustion (and I guess people like Mashima and Nishi can handle that and multiple series due to high drawing speed and creative optimization), but I’m curious what health issues they’re dealing with?

 

[FantasticFootno]

What's the thoughts on Kiyoshi's length anyway? If the school arc leads into the main Rushihara arc, and that's the final arc, it might conclude around the 3rd anniversary before it even gets an anime announcement.

Personally I hope there's some kind of major twist letting the series last another couple years. It feels like there's still so much the series could explore.

I assumed this arc would segue into the rushihara arc, but the way it’s playing out makes me think that we might hit like early 2027 before that starts up. (Mainly because we’ve set up fights for the side characters + Kiyoshi, that feels like at least half a volume of content left here).
We still have a cross paladin (the big guy), who hasn’t really done anything yet, so I’m hoping we get an arc between this one and the rushihara return arc (it could easily be training before he gets freed or something), that gives him something to do.
Going by his last 2 big arcs tho (demon realm + black parade), the final arc will be 30 chapters or so, so whenever it starts up, I’d expect there to be half a year left for the series.

I'm ready for it to be

- new Reborn x Eldlive x Kamonohashi Ron collab sketch by Amano
- merchandise
- fortnite crossover
- new anime... episode, just one, and it's also a collab with Kamonohashi Ron

Fortnite? uhm what? wow. Would have gussed Granblue fantasy since we've gotten what, 5 of them now, Gintama just finished and HeroAca is having a rerun collab.

All Jump series should collab with Granblue because they make some nice art, meanwhile the characters all look out of place in Fortnite.

I'm almost sure Kagurabachi at least will get a Granblue collab.

Reborn will obviously have the anime announced either at their own event or at Jump Festa. lol All stages this year will have anime talk.

However, Reborn won't have a "Red Stage"—which is what they usually use for announcements...

It’s not even included on the poster. I don’t think they’ll be announcing anything.

Exactly this sugoi character is just wrong it will just be 30 minutes of more nonsense talk that has no place being in a stage event.

 

[defensor_de_boruto]

but how can NARUTO get a super stage and get only 30 minutes? Isn't 50?

 

[icrawfish]

We missed out on a ShibaxKunishige cover for 3rd anni(Maybe chiaki could have joined in like hiyuki did for the first anni cover).

I dunno, Hokazono has a strong aversion to putting Shiba on covers of any kind, judging by Shiba’s bitter run-ins with volume covers… if anything I imagine Hokazono would sooner put Subaru and Akemura on the cover than Shiba, just to keep the bit going.

That does make me wonder, if we’re eventually getting this anniversary cover (which I think we will) I wonder if he’ll be able to put all 6 OG sword bearers on the next color spread? Barring the strange circumstance surrounding Giyu, who knows what the timeline on that will look like.

There's always new information in all stages. Just look at the list, they'll all have anime talk there. Reborn will likely have the announcement before the event and share the details there.

You could be right and honestly I'm still bitter back in 2024 ( the mangas 20th anniversary) we didn't even get a special One shot for the series showing us how all the characters are doing MANY other weekly shonen jump series have done this the most recent example being Promised never land that is a little weird isn't?

 

[defensor_de_boruto]

Sorry that this is not the topic, but @Shinuki no Reborn do you know the reason why BORUTO was the one of the few manga on WSJ to be monthly? I'm seeing a lot of people saying that Kishimoto will be back with a monthly release on WSJ but i completely doubt that

I don't think anything officially was released but putting ourselves in the seat of Jump editorial, my guess is they had a top 5 selling series of all time; you know, at the level where they're not going to let the franchise end type series. Kishi also likely had ideas for a sequel towards the end of writing Naruto. Likely, due to the franchise's staying power and desire to keep milking it, Kishi having earned his dues as a top 5 mangaka, and Kishi's capabilities (again he gave up drawing for this and Samurai 9, he was done drawing) Jump probably decided to introduce Boruto in WSJ as a way to pay respect to the OG series, capture the Naruto audience from WSJ in WSJ (it hooks them easier), and have it be manageable to Kishi. The transfer was probably planned and they were probably workshopping the creative process for a monthly series (and not overload Kishi) and to capture the audience from Naruto that read WSJ.

Again, it probably was the exception because it's the first time Jump did an immediate sequel series for a major powerhouse title (that Kishi was only doing mild oversight on). Probably had a planed transfer because Kishi didn't want to do mild oversight on it for a weekly scale and Jump doesn't love being a sequel's magazine.

Nue's Exorcist Volume 17

Spoiler

 

[shonenblue]

I don’t really care what kind of adaptation Kiyoshi gets. Just like the Nue stans on here for their series, I will love it and support it and push the agenda all the same because I love the series so much!

Nue's Exorcist Volume 17

Spoiler

The later volumes look really good. 15 is my personal favourite.

I don't think Kiyoshi will get a "bad" studio, it's a "action heavy" battle shounen with good art, if you will give a anime for it at least put in decent hands, i don't expect any big studio but i have a feeling it will actually be better than people expect due to "muh low sales" lol

Kiyoshi resembles me Soul Eater sometimes, so if we had takuya igarashi as director/SB would be really cool
