#1. No fights or personal insults.
#2. No bait or troll comments with the intention of being annoying or starting serious heated discussions, if i notice it's a continuous behavior, i will warn the user or delete the comment.
#3. No toxic attitude towards series, no one is obligated to enjoy any series and it's totally fine to criticize what you don't like, just avoid posting gratuitous hateful or toxic comments about X or Y series, if i notice this behavior, comments will be deleted.
#4. Don't bring politics or off-topic stuff to the thread, this is about Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and mangas, so keep any conversation about topics that aren't related about anime & manga outside the thread.
#5. Don't post news about series from other magazine or publishers in the WSJ thread, post in the series own thread, but it's fine if you're mentioning other series or magazine to express a opinion or reflection about Shonen Jump.
#6. Any tweet, specially japanese, about news, update or some interesting thing about the magazine or series has to come with a text of what that tweet means and also be on topic, if not it's going to be either deleted or i will edit the post.
#7. Refrain from self advertising or advertising Youtubers videos in the comments.
#8. Constant fanart posts just for the sake of praising a favorite series is prohibited, this rule doesn't apply for official art by Jump artists posted on social media, they're fine to post.
#9. Don't discuss or hype chapter spoilers before Sunday release, only comment if is related to a series surviving status and do it only inside the spoiler tag.
#10. Regarding rule #9, an exception will be made for when we have new series, in this case, spoilers will be allowed only for the first 3 chapters of a new series for the users who are interested in knowing informations and details about the new series, these spoilers will obviously be kept under tags to protect anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled, so don't worry about it.
~ Shinuki

I hope everyone reads the rules and use it as a guide to behave well in the thread, thanks! :kkthumbs

How’s Hal new chapter? Is it showing any signs of worrying?
Nope, it still in the race.

The only ones really showing signs of "ending in a couple of chapters" are Sakamoto Days, Witch Watch & Cannon Master.

Can't see them doing a batch of 5, so it's probably a batch of 3 or 4 and Hal lives for a round.

Back home and caught up on the chapters in a language I fully understand. Akane, Ichi, and Roku have been killing it recently. 2-B has also been pretty good, last week it might've made my top 5, the black flame bit was hilarious.

1: Ichi
2: Roku
3: Akane
4: Hertz
5: Greykeith

Hype. I love this manga so much. He learned so much from what didn't work for me in Gintama.

@Shinuki no Reborn do you have info of the Akane Banashi chapter?
Chapter its about Akane and other performers recording a tv show about comedians showing their material in front of a live audience.

Btw, there's a pretty crazy Akane page with a different artstyle lol

Superpower Battle Fantasy Club by Tatara Kyo: Ok, this was much better than i expected, i didn't check the original version of the one shot so i didn't knew what to expect and i was totally expecting either a comedy or something pretty generic and probably about exorcists/supernatural but it's not really the case, it's like a world with people having super powers and it's not a secret, something like My Hero Academia but more "lowkey", maybe something more like the mutants from X-Men.

The art aint bad at all, i would definitely prefer to not resemble Gege artstyle too much, specially when it makes the mc totally looks like Itadori Yuji but the guy can draw for sure, the few action scenes were fine too, nothing really to complain so as a whole i though he is a pretty decent artist already, maybe again, try to diferentiate yourself from Akutami Gege because the influence is too on the nose just like Iwakami Sango with Fujimoto.

So i thought it looks pretty decent, it could be turned into a serialization but i doubt it is, now the author, i do expect to see more from him in the future.

Now I’m further incentivized to see this one-shot. Hearing it, doesn’t sound too bad. It was one of 2 possibilities that I predicted. It was close on one and that’s good enough for me.

"【Report and Announcement】

Toshiyuki Saeki has fulfilled (terminated) his exclusive contract with Shueisha, which he had maintained for many years.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the individuals involved who have supported me thus far. Accordingly, I will now be accepting new work opportunities. Please note, however, that long-term projects will be put on hold for the time being.

▫Recruitment Details: Art duties / Illustrations / Character design, etc.
▫Contact: [email protected]

I sincerely hope for wonderful connections ahead. Thank you for your kind attention."

Sounds like good news to me. He's too good of an artist to spend his time wasting away without publication. He already had anime adaptations before he even started in Jump. Here's hoping to find him in more avenues maximizing his talent.

If you want to draw fanservice, unless you're at Tonari no Young Jump, Shueisha clearly isn't the place to be. Excited to see him with a different writer as well.

This is mostly Manga volume sales and BD/DVD. This is not an actual revenue of the IP's.

you can actually see how they almost correlate 1-1 to the top 20 manga sales in 2025
Yeah, OP makes a hundred billy yen a year easy with cards and other merch.

Bruh was stuck doing nothing for years because of Shueisha.

He's pretty much saying he will not accept long term projects at the moment so he will probably just stick for now with drawing illustration or character design for stuff which for me is pretty much a waste of his talent :(

Obviously this doesn't mean he can't just comeback to WSJ when he gets interested in a project, but man, why Shueisha be wasting these talents, him going to WSM drawing a ecchi or romcom would move mountains :hee

Edit: Saw in the comments Saeki saying his exclusive contract was with Weekly Shonen Jump, not Shueisha.

Just to be clear, maybe my comment made it looks like it's something great and etc but is just that i expected way less, it's a fun one shot with good art but nothing amazing or original, just saying because i don't want to create false expectations :grin
