My take on Hima-Ten ending is that i agree that the mangaka should've focused more on Honoka if she was supposed to win but i also think the manga never tried to convince me that Tenichi has moved on from Honoka, form the start until the end she always was in his mind, so to me it feels like if anyone other than Honoka won, it wouldn't make sense but i also think the ending lacking since the mangaka never really tried to do something with Honoka's character.
I wonder if the reason Ono wanted to end Hima-Ten this soon is because of YashaTsubaki.

 

[Ignait]

So, turns out we got absolutely nothing on the Hell Arc from Kubo? It’s been over a week since the leaks dropped and everything’s dead silent. The post Kubo in X was just for that MV, so when are we actually supposed to get this announcement? Shinuki, Aniking or are we just coping at this point?

What do you mean? He wants to get Yasha Tsubaki serialized instead?

Yes, honestly part of it is just my own wish since i really liked YashaTsubaki oneshots.

I can't understand why people say that they have done that in Bb.
You can see just them holding Honda, nothing more than that... Lol. they can even be sleeping and holding hands

 

[defensor_de_boruto]

Boruto spinoff called "Coruto" is coming. It will star Coruto and his girl sidekick Coleslaw (who is somehow the long lost relatives of Sarada/Salad)

I WILL be there reading

Then why not just show them sleeping holding hands lol. The way it was shown it was obvious they had sex

 

[defensor_de_boruto]

Btw Hima-Ten ending was good

people on twitter are just too addicted to harem fights

 

[tirakai]

We've had other MCs we know have done it since then (like Yozakura post-timeskip Taiyo and Mutsumi were clearly going at it pretty often off panel), but I think Blue Box is the first series in Jump to directly lead into a sex scene since Ichigo 100% I think? Unless Undead Unluck did it and I forgot.

I really wonder how many chapters there even are left, it feels like the series could end in 2 chapters at this point (one for goodbye, one for epilogue), but the last batch is still brand new (if you count HxH, it only just put out the last one this very issue). So I guess from here it's going to do wrap up for all the important side characters for a while. One chapter for each major couple and solo character then the goodbye and epilogue would easily take it to the next round.

I'm really not sure where Under Doctor's going and I don't think the author does either, it's ch 22 and it's just doing 1 and 2 parters which is not a thing that happens in modern jump outside of gag manga. I don't mind it personally, episodic series can be fun, but I really get the feeling the series has completely lost its intended goal due to the battles being so badly received and is struggling to find a new one. Instead of a series climbing back up the magazine from a weak start, it instead feels like a manga that's about to get cancelled and is rapid-firing the characters and stories the author really wants to show off before it's over.

Even Kinato feels more confident in its direction than Under Doctor and there's no way it's surviving another round.

Pretty sure hinomaru zumo and shaman king had implied sex scene too

--- Double Post Merged, Jun 29, 2026, Original Post Date: Jun 29, 2026 ---

Btw i am so confused about HxH new volume releasing 3rd July. The new chapters have just started. What chapters will be in the new vol? They cannot be already compiling chapters that are not yet in wsj

From previous run. Up to 410

 

[monstera11]

From previous run. Up to 410

Which is why i am confused because why didn't they release the vo
lume 2 years ago

 

[tirakai]

HxH always does it this way, WSJ probably judges it as better to release a new volume while the series is running and on people's minds instead of in the middle of an hiatus that could last for years.

In Hinomaru Sumo they got to the love hotel but didn't end up doing it because Reina thought it'd be a good idea to watch Hinomaru's mom's dying wish beforehand. Total boner-killer, I tell ya.

That MV announcement was a continuation of the countdown of the full series that's been ongoing for a while now, just this time it was the Lost Agent/Fullbring arc, I believe. The timing of it made people believe it was for something more.

The news of the Bleach manga returning to the manga will be the week before the serialisation batch it starts in. The rumours said it would start in August and which lines up with #36/37, the same issue Bleach started 25 years before, which is my theory on when it'll come back. If it's the first of a batch starting around that time then we'll find out about it officially when #35 is released. As far as I'm aware Jump has never officially promoted a serialisation in any other way or announced far in advance.

This does not make sense at all, because WSJ always release the last vol of mangas even after the series no longer running in the magazine (e.g. for finished or axed series). AND this is HxH we are talking about. Any vol they release during hiatus is guranteed to still sell like hot cakes.

Even after super long hiatus in the middle of an arc so convoluted, so many people are still hyped on its return every single time. It has been running for decades and it is still in everyone's mind no matter what.

 

[Kiaida]

It's possible it'll be announced before on a Jump Press. Beginning of August should have one if Nue's anime is really announced there, they'll also be able to promote the endings of Sakamoto Days and Blue Box.

They always do this though. It's a pattern that HxH comes back -> new volume. Also, it's not just about the volume sales, they probably know have the manga running on the magazine at the same time is good for the magazine as people remember they can pick up Jump to read new chapters.

Honestly i am so confused how did the rumor even started to begin with. Some Shueisha insider leaked it verbally? Leakers coping? It came into them in the dream like Joseph the dreamer? It is confirmed in CFYOW?

Honestly, I wouldn't have even bothered with these rumors, but since Aniking and Shinuki were talking about it, I thought there was something to it. Where did they even get that info if it wasn’t in the magazine? I was fully expecting something in the latest issue since they sounded so confident. Guess it’s clear now—these weren’t 'leaks,' just straight-up speculation. I’m done believing any of this until I see an official announcement in the magazine or on Jump Press.

It’s been two years thanks to all of you! I’m so grateful for all the support! I’ll keep going even stronger!


Ichi the Witch (Shiro Usazaki)

I had my older sister knit me a key case. It has a face on it, and it’s so cute.


One Piece (Eiichiro Oda)

I’m sure everyone had an awesome time, but I walked around so much during the Pokémon GO Fest in Tokyo’s Kaihin Park that my legs almost fell off.


Someone Hertz (Ei Yamano)

The voting is open for the Tsugi ni Kuru manga award. I’d be overjoyed to receive your support!


Cannon Master (Reiya Machida)

The joy of having a series is incomparable! But it also makes me pull myself together!


Class 2-B Hero Destroyerz (Hideaki Sorachi)

My favorite local Chinese restaurant has closed. I don’t think I’ll ever encounter fried rice that good again.


Sakamoto Days (Yuto Suzuki)

When I lose, it’s to the DLC bosses on the first night. It’s rough if you’re left alone against the Death Knights or Great Rune Bear.


Hunter x Hunter (Yoshihiro Togashi)

Currently I work with TV shows I’ve recorded playing in the background. I like the voice of the child actor who plays Sareo.


Hal Formula (Kento Terasaka)

This year’s F1 season has had a lot of big changes, and it’s so entertaining. Check it out!


Akane-banashi (Takamasa Moue)

I’m not sure exactly when this comment will run, but…Japan, please win.

I beat Daiyonkyokai’s Someone Else’s Game Cartridge! This one was once again very fun.

I’m interested in Mizuno’s Wave Prophecy Ring Moc.


Under Doctor (Kyo Tanimoto)

Usui-san, congratulations on two years of Kiyoshi! It’s amazing and you deserve it!

The World Cup is so awesome that I can’t get work done! I’m watching too much! I want to kick a ball!

Thank you for all the support over the years! I’m so happy I was able to conclude a manga in Jump!


Drawn to the Fire (Masayoshi Satosho)

I’m watching Aiseki Shokudo on my subscription service. The episode with Yoichi Watanabe was amazing, and I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.


Shinobi Undercover (Santa Mitarashi)

Congrats on the conclusion of Hima-Ten! I was so grateful to be lifted by the cuteness every week.


Nue’s Exorcist (Kota Kawae)

I always felt defeat when seeing the cuteness and beauty in the girls that Ono Sensei draws.


Kinato’s Magic (Kento Amemiya)

Reprints for volume 1! I fell out of my chair! Thank you so much!
