About the break...

It's normal that Oda takes time. Think about it, Oda must redraw each character after the 2 years timeskip. He must choose how they have evolved and how it has changed their appearance.

i agree..... i dont mind a break. a lot of the older character will not change that much, but the younger one will. i think BB will have a much thinker beard.

From Kewl:

The Japanese site calls it:
ONE PIECE再開への特別企画
4号連続で合計20000名にオリジナルグッズが当たるクイズも!!

They're giving like, 20,000 "One Piece Goods" to people for the 4 issues until OP comes back. So not really related to anything we care about.

So it is basically a desperate attempt to prevent the next 4 Jumps to be the worst selling WSJ ever. Buy the magazine and you might win something

Gosh, they're desperate aren't they XD

Well, I'll admit, the SJ lineup currently isn't the best in the world :S So I can't blame them for trying to beef up sales.

Issue 43 is the great return ! Can't wait !!

Why does WSJ in the US have to be like thousands of issues behind

 

[deffkryz]

hy does WSJ in the US have to be like thousands of issues behind

The TV show came first and was heavily crippled by 4kids, remember?

u 100% right. i like all of the big 3, but the reason one piece isnt big in the U.S. is because of the dubs. the dubs were awful. if another company could dub them, it would be sahit in the states.

Thankfully I don't, because I never watched the 4kids version

But thanks for the explanation

I really want to know the difference in sales without One Piece. It's an interesting fact.

Two things. One, it's issue 44 on 9/27 (I know, I know T_T)

And also, the SJ over here in North America jumped straight to the Impel Down acr after Alabasta, which was months ago. I think it's actually almost caught up now. It can't be more than 2 weeks behind Japan, so it's no that bad.

The US Jump is at Marineford, the last issue I read (which I think was last month's) had through chapter 558 or so; it's behind, but not that badly.
