…huh. Pairing Numa with an artist seems like a shame, I like his art.
Kuroki is basically the best WSJ artist the second he steps into the magazine. Not even exaggerating, he's an insane mix of talent and hard work. This is something the magazine is missing recently, feels like they're far behind Sunday and Magazine art-wise with a few standouts and people like Suzuki burned out.

The issue is that Numa is also a great artist and Kuroki also a great writer. lol Would rather have two new series with them writing and drawing.

...I feel like it would have been way better the other way around. A lot of what I like about Shun Numa was his artstyle and most of the praise for David I remember seeing back then was the jokes were really funny, so I would assume Yuushin Kuroki would be better as the writer.

Oh well, in Shun Numa we trust.

Kinato's Magic has ended!

Too bad about this, I was hoping it'd beat a record for "most bottom 1 rankings ever". Another arc and it would have definitely hit Guiness.

By the way, this is the second time a some vets paired together for a new publication in such short order. Is this the new metagame?

The art is a huge part of what makes David funny. Kuroki is basically an Yabuki level artist for fanservice and moe, but insanely good at drawing realistic scenes and varied styles. He's fantastic at reproducing several artists styles and you can clearly see he's not copy pasting, but actually adaptating his art to simulate artist like Van Gogh.

Grey Keys by Natsuki Hokami (Gakutei Higuma, Kimetsu Gakuen) will start in the Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #41 of 2026! The series is described as a Demon World story!

I'm gonna guess the last reveal is Bleach return, but the twist is it is replacing HxH, and not Sakamoto Days. And so we'll say goodbye to Kinato and DTTF here.

I still hate them for cancelling Chojo in the first place.

Higuma and David were axed in the same batch lol, funny coincidence to have them return at the same time. I liked the Grey Keys oneshot (and Higuma back in the day) so I’m interested to see Hokami return, hope it works out.

Why are they giving Kiyoshi the bottom 3 color page :(. They did this to DTTF and 2-B, is kiyoshi going to go back to being a bottom dweller??

Otherwise, Cannon master dropped quite a bit, Hal is hanging on, but its Animal Signal thats getting the color page. I'm gonna guess Hal and Animal will live to see another day here.
