Yeah, I am used to the hiatuses. If we can get 20 chapters in a row that's better.

 

[Copy Panda]

stoppp it's gonna be 10 again and we should be accepting of it

 

[Kanmuru]

 

[Demonspeed]

20 chapters for sure!

Honestly I'm just loving how much fun Togashi appears to be having with all the little sketches and artwork.
I'm sure there are cynics who will say that Togashi is just leaving breadcrumbs until he "has to" release a new chapter so he can play dragon quest or something I dunno but to me it feels like Togashi is excited to share his art and manga which makes me think he's in (relatively) good health and spirits. You might ask why the long wait if he is healthy? Obviously I don't know but healthy or not he is still older and honesty kinda already at mangaka retirement age yet it feels like he wants to tell a lot more. I think health issues were a major set back but I wonder if now it's more about research and story structure

Wow, didn't expect this. He must really be feeling better! Reminds me of the Volume 12 pic .

[Demonspeed]

Probably color page of the next chapter.

 

[ShadowHeart]

Probably color page of the next chapter.

Yeah reminds of the preview color page he showed last batch.

That's actually a shikishi, special illustrations they do for reasons like Jump Festa etc. which is why it has a signature. Don't think this is for the manga but is still proof of serialization being close.

X translation: "No. 430, character inking completed. Please wait for the announcement from the Jump editorial department regarding the publication timing for chapters 420 onward. I'm receiving tons of motivation to keep going from my wife. "
