  1. Edens Zero Chapter 178 Spoilers & Discussion

    Because the chapter doesn't release until Wednesday in Japan, and it's not even midnight there yet.

    CBR is basically tabloid click bait aimed at anime/manga fans as well as western comic fans. Accuracy and quality aren't goals of theirs. Just getting people to click on an article is their goal. For example they have articles along the lines of 'top ten facts about such and such MHA character'...

    We Never Learn has a minimum of 18 chapters left. The first of which will be in this issue. It won't end until December. I'd say the problem isn't the art, it's the composition. Dead space, half the girls shoved way to the back, and Mutsumi and the Mashle girl are randomly separate from the...

    Huh. Presumably the next issue will have some sort of announcement about what's going on. I wonder if the mangaka caught covid? That's the best explanation that leaps to mind for the update schedule to suddenly be uncertain.

    Essentially no. The closest it comes to a series moving from another magazine is that Bastard moved out of the magazine into their seasonal special magazine for a while, then moved back into Jump for a bit before moving to Ultra Jump. Also when Monthly Shonen Jump ended and was replaced by Jump...

    Viz likely didn't have much of a choice. They were able to pass on MHA, Kimetsu, and Haikyuu for a long time due to how their publishing model worked at the time, and they passed on Yuuna in the same way until Seven Seas picked up the rights and they lost the ability to pick it up. Since the...

    I'm surprised they didn't mention that Gege's also congratulating Miura for Yuragi in there.
  8. Edens Zero Chapter 97 Spoilers & Discussion

    I'm going to wait and see, but I suspect that's a mistranslation. "Hoshi" literally translates as star, but can mean either star or planet depending on context. So I'm fairly sure it's supposed to be "enough energy to destroy a planet".

    It's a staple they like to have, but it isn't vital. They'll make do with fan service in other series if they have to.
  10. Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2020] - Discussion and ToC Talk

    The announcement was 1) that this week is the last chapter and 2) last volume will have a special edition with a couple of OVA episodes adapting two of the more fanservice heavy chapters.

    I suspect that Miura would have liked to go longer, but they wanted him to wrap up the series so they could swap out Yuragi for Yabuki's new series without one cannibalizing the other. As such Miura implemented the plans he had for wrapping up the series. I wonder what they'll use to fill out...
  12. Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2020] - Discussion and ToC Talk

    I'm surprised they're doing 4 so soon after starting 3. Assuming Yuuna and Neverland end. I wonder which two series they'll cancel to open the remaining space. I'd suspect Yozakura Family and Mitama given they've hung around for the longest while kind of underperforming, but perhaps Guardian or...
  13. Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2020] - Discussion and ToC Talk

    I highly doubt it's more than 3 new series. We literally just finished the previous round of serialization 3 weeks ago. More than 3 series would mean they planned to have a what is effectively a 7-9 series serialization round. That's insane. There's no way they'd plan to replace nearly half the...
  14. Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2020] - Discussion and ToC Talk

    I wouldn't expect more than three. The only way this makes sense is if they were planning another 6 round serialization but between timing and the COVID disruption they were forced to break it up into three and three. Otherwise they wouldn't be due to start anything new for a couple months at least.
  15. Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2020] - Discussion and ToC Talk

    The catch with Yuuna is while it is at a point that it could end soon if need be; as of issue#26 - aka this coming issue - it's only 3 chapters into volume #24. So it can't be as straightforward as them announcing a climax and then the next chapter is the last or second to last chapter. Even...
