About when were we getting Hero Academia volume 25 cover?

Near the end of November.

 

[Jovan]

If those HQ spoilers are true then we are already in alt reality territory since Japan did not qualify for 2016 Olympics lol. I laughing way harder than I should

So from what I understood, the team did even worse in their 2nd and 3rd year, everyone graduated and moved on, and it seems they are going to shift the manga towards beach volleyball? Or it's going for the adult Olympics route? This is actually a sad/tragic development damn.

4chan people are already starting to compare it to Naruto/Soma and trashing the manga lol

TBH I wouldn't discard the final arc being shorter than expected, since it seems there are signs about Furudate being fatigued (which is pretty normal with the manga having lasted almost 8 years already).

Still too soon to guess anything. Could be a short arc, could be as long as the Blue Shokugeki arc, could be lasting 4-5 years.

PD: From the "pick your 5 favorite Jump titles of this decade", I'm still shocked out almost 40 people, nobody picked Shokugeki kek

This is borderline off-topic since its related to politics and stuff, but somehow Inosuke from Kimetsu no Yaiba is becoming a symbol of resistance against government in Chile. I wonder how Gotouge feels about it.

Had it been around 2016, I would definitively pick it. I still have good memories from the first half but you can't forget the shitty arcs that came after easily

The Haikyuu stuff have overshadowed it, but....any important message regarding why Act-age is getting next Jump cover?

I want to believe that after 90 chapters, they are finally going to launch the first character popularity poll. Is very bizarre that Act-age hasn't had still any, while rest of Jump manga usually got their first popularity poll in chapters 50-60.

 

[NeeNeen]

Final arc ≠ epilogue. With how long matches usually go in the series, I expect this "final arc" will go on for years.

Oh, I know. I meant that it feels that way because skipping ahead a few years to show what the characters are doing as adults is something we usually see in the epilogue.

 

[tirakai]

We just had a different sports series end that had skipped ahead a few years to do a whole part 2. Would be odd if that somehow became the norm for wsj sports series.

For the lurkers who didn't still answer this but are active here. What would be your 5 favorite WSJ manga from this decade (2010-2019)? Manga that started in this decade, so One Piece isn't a valid answer.

Not in order: Black Clover, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man & Samurai 8. If Kagamigami continued longer, I may had included it too.

 

[Ryuusei]

KNY's light novels have achieved 400.000 copies combined.



Last week's TV ratings. OP and MHA were really close.

Ishida Akira (VA): Hyouga
Toyosaki Aki (VA): Homura

Fun how first Jump movie of 2020 is going to be Prince of Tennis, but nobody remembers it

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Regarding these new HQ spoilers Well damn, puberty hit Hinata like a truck, screw that like a damn nuke lmao, even if I'm not folowing its crazy knowing how its final arc has been announced, another one that will be ending tho I do agree that this arc may last for a coupke of years as per the Jump norm , well anyways its obvious by now Neverland, KnY, and even WNL will end before it, this does open the door for more free spots in the magazine in the future

Number 10 is quite bewildering.
I would believe someone with bold taste to place it in his top 5. But 2, now it's just crayzee.

Also, I would like to cast my last top 5 vote for sesuji wo pin to.
