Thanks.

And One Piece 97 should be released in September?

That was the planned date, but that volume is gone from Shueisha's site, but it still is on Jump's site and the release date hasn't been altered there. We'll have to wait for any confirmation from the magazine to know if it will be released on the same date or later.

 

[Franz]

But why make it slip in fact, the chapters for the volume are ready. Rather, I expect the cover to come out soon.

 

[perroloco]

@Ice King you mean why they changed the date? The simple answer would be probably because of Covid that sadly has skyrocketed again in Japan, that may delay some titles as it did in the past, I wouldn't be surprised to see maybe Kimetu's volumes getting at least a bit delayed too, seeing how both OP and KnY are the titles that probably require most volumes printed. Of course this is just my assumption.

I don't think that's the reason.

Also because there are chapters to fill up the volumes, especially Kimetsu.

And the other series have not been delayed.

Also, I heard this somewhere but apparently Watsuki got caught because he googled how to dispose of those magazines or something like that? I heard that, or read it somewhere though maybe it was just a rumor/fake, but if true at least he wanted to get rid of them..

Not, it was due to his name coming up in a different investigation

According to the Public Prosecutors Office, Watsuki possessed multiple DVDs with videos of nude girls in their early teens and other materials last October. Authorities were searching Watsuki's home as part of a different investigation, which linked him to the purchase of DVDs with child pornography. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police then found the DVDs at Watsuki's office in Tokyo.

Rurouni Kenshin Creator Nobuhiro Watsuki Fined 200,000 Yen for Possession of Child Porn

Fined about US$1,900 for having DVDs; Rurouni Kenshin manga's Hokkaido Arc on hiatus

It's not unheard of manga continuing without their original writter/artist

It is pretty unheard of though, at least within a series. I guess it would be possible if they reboot Act-Age with a new name, like "Act-Age, Part 2: Battle Tendency" or something. (Joking, because I can't think of a good title rn, but usually in manga, writers or artists only get replaced for sequels/spin-offs, not mid-series).

Ok guys. Only two months left for Jujutsu Kaisen anime.

Right now the manga is selling more than established series like Dr.Stone or Black Clover without anime help. With anime it has the potential to reach My Hero Academia sales levels.

Do you think Jujutsu Kaisen will be able to become the next big title of Shonen Jump and fill some of the emptiness Jump is having now in the top tier right now?

Definitely.

Provided the authors don't get in trouble.

Is amazing how despite One Piece being also there, the "franchise" manga for USA is being My Hero Academia, and in a very solid way.

I'd like for Shueisha to reveal worldwide sales for My Hero Academia. I think worldwide-wise it should be in 35-36 million right now.

Good and cute oneshot, I see why alot of people were supporting it. Though much like his other oneshot Parasol Alliance, I wonder how it would be done as a series (If he is in fact getting serialized with this).

 

[Newkerzy]

Same here. I can also see why some mentioned it reminded them of their first time falling in love.

 

[ItsSamu]

What a sweet one shot. Now I hate that it isn't a series (yet). I wouldn't totally count it as a sports manga replacement since this is more romance with a sports setting but there's a lot a that could be done with it to expand upon that. If it was serialised I'd love if they were a couple from the end of the first chapter onwards and it showed their respective sport journeys, that would be quite refreshing.

Not a bad idea, but I think they’ll go with the “boring” route of them being as is and belong to their respective basketball teams and chasing the nationals together.

Thanks a lot for sharing this! I really liked the one-shot. I wish it gets a series!

I dont think it will be as boring if they struggle with the relationship. But, I do see a problem if it takes that route, it will distract from being a proper sports manga and juggle too much between romance and sports.

That’s why I used quotation marks.

It’s certainly a pretty big gamble. The author’s relatively new, so it would be risky for him to attempt it. But it would pay off big if he actually does pull it off.

 

[SharkBait]

think its too soon for another volleyball. also has love and sports ever worked well beyond one shots and short series?

 

[TheEnhancedExe]

The mangaka is known for making romance manga. So I think if it becomes a series it would most likely focus a lot more on the romance aspect than the sports themselves. I doubt Shueisha would suggest drastic changes because it was received so well.

 

[Neala897]

You know what else had pretty good nice oneshort? Nisekoi. See how it went.

 

[Ctkk]

It found great success and became the longest-running rom-com in Jump history?
