never been more sure that takeru will either get the shindo schedule or be moved to j+ / SQ
We're all set, then.
Things are slow enough as it is; move it over there and it won't get finished until 2050.

On top of the frequent breaks, this arc is just far too long.
Kakashi Gaiden was short and sweet while Hidden Inventory is paced at just the right length and has it's main focus on 2 fan favourite characters of the series.
Part 2 has neither of those and it's also far from ending. We still have to introduce the 6 sword masters and then the Settei War events. It's going to be as long as the longest kgb arc.
--- Double Post Merged, ---

Jump needs to start serialising those highly potential action oneshots like Bad Tripper, Tate Roll, Warped Fairy tale etc
KGB flashback arc will never be as bad as that Wano flashback arc with that nothingburger side character Oden lol. At least the focus of this flashback arc are the direct family members of the MC, and it is about the war that started everything. And also about the backstory of the future main big bad in part 3

I feel like we're getting a GFC, precisely because we're getting a winner in the next batch, most likely Tabigoro Kuji. I pray that it's gonna be the case...

Tbh I remember the Oden flashback in general being one of the more popular parts of Wano because of Roger and Whitebeard being prominent characters in it. "He laughed" is still probably one of the most iconic scenes and panels in modern One Piece

About Kagurabachi, Jump should just make the manga bi-weekly like Sunday did with Major 2nd after the author went in long hiatus due to health problems, the magazine can't lose its biggest new hit in years but also they can't just keep things like this, it just makes the fans worried about it, if biweekly worked for Shindo despite having a much worse situation it definitely would work just fine with Hokazono
With all these breaks, it's as if it were.

It is more because the rest of the wano is very lackluster with a lot of arc fatigue

--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

Yikes, what happened with Kagurabachi?
Digital sales maybe

Starting to believe the rumor jp fans are not vibing with the flashback arc... :grumble
The flashback only appears in the last two chapters of the volume. To find out, we need to see how well the next one sells in January.

Btw, checking Sakamoto Days chapter, yep, 100% ending in a couple of chapters, give 5 chapters at the very late which would be in sync with next round.

It's weird not saying how many oneshots will be in the GFC. Maybe that means we're getting a full 7 or 8 so there's too many to list on a singe page? I guess we'll see in a couple weeks when the first one is published.

The thing i hope is that with them bringing GFC back that means some of the last 3 winners are finally going to debut in November batch, it would be crazy coming back just to get a 4th winner in the line waiting to serialize :grin

I don't think so because, barring one chapter, the last volume it's all Part 1 chapters.

I really will not be surprised if nue get anime announcement very late, near its ending. And it would be for one season or just an OAV. Didn't hinomaru also only got 1 season anime near ending? And Promised neverland who was extremely popular got very botched anime adaptation? One Punch Man got disasters as anime despite being popular. Himaten did not even get any.....

In any case, pretty crazy nue has not get anime considering Kill Blue and Chojo get one despite being axed. Maybe due to the mangaka's name. But still.... even High School Family got a LA.

About KB decline, Dandadan, One Piece and Sakamoto Days all had similar (20~15k) dips for the same timeframe on their last release. It's nothing to worry about just yet.
