Isn't Oda break shedule getting worse and worse? I hope he's okay.
IIRC We started with 5 chapters and a break, then 4, after this 3 and now we are approaching to 2 chapters between breaks.

I mean drawing an army of sulong forms individually takes toll his time. He need to come up a massive new character designs for that and I think he deserves the break.

Well he did straight up say that breaks may be more frequent now due to him taking COVID precautions

Has Act-Age cursed backlog ended yet?

Nope, all volumes are still charting, but they have all quickly dropped. Stock is running out and volumes should fall compeltely off the chart in the following days.

Redon Statement about breaks next week.

"Regarding breaks, Technically, One Piece has not rested since chapter 984, that is, there have been 4 issues in a row of the magazine with chapters of One Piece.
The breaks of the last weeks have been breaks from the Jump for holidays (last week) and for adjustments due to COVID-19 (the 4th week of July) and therefore those weeks have "rested" all the series .
Yes, possibly Oda has really rested these days but hell, these are vacation days that everyone who works deserves."

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Oda schedule getting worse? Last issue without One Piece felt a long ago. Issue 30 or 31, dunno? But for first time in a very while we have had OP chapters for like 4 consecutive weeks. I'd say it was about time for OP to get a break week.

Well, I'm curious about if OP break + some veteran Jump manga already over will make some people to start voting MHA for first time next week

PS: We can say the 30K club is back thanks to Undead Unluck and Mashle

 

[yadayada]

Chainsaw man is pretty much already solidifying itself as the 4th best selling series in the magazine below OP, MHA and JJK now, great growth. JJK held up better than I expected given 6days fw which is also nice.

KnY 21 SE should fall off the chart starting next week which will make it impossible to count both its number and 20 SE's number until end of year since they'll get mixed up.

 

[James Rye]

let's go andy!!

Don't forget about Izumo! She was the one holding the trophy after all. <3
Really glad UU is selling well after receiving the first price. Guess Mashle and UU will be the buff bros who muscle their way through to 30k, then 50k and later 100k in the next years. The future of Jump is MUSCLE! XD

 

[lobito180]

Regarding World's End Harem - Britannia Lumiére on M+, it seems an odd choice, to release a spin-off when you don't have the main series (I'm sure it's because it is licensed by Seven Seas). Yet, there are new series in spanish that I wanted to check out, like Kill Me and Suito-to...

Spoiler: My Hero Academia 28 Cover

 

[Newkerzy]

Now that’s an amazing cover! Definitely one of Horikoshi’s best so far. The layout is a bit unexpected, but it works really well.

Funny enough, the color scheme just happen to coincide my country celebrating its Independence Day, which is this week.

 

[Koni]

Spoiler: My Hero Academia 28 Cover

I was not expecting this cover, but it looks fire as fuck, good lord.

 

[Ryuusei]

Horikoshi has had some pretty sick covers over the past year, the man's art just doesn't miss. Out of the entire Jump roster, he's definitely on the top tier when it comes to volume covers, volumes 25 and 27 were amazing and this one doesn't fall behind.

When you look at his past covers, it was pretty clear that he’d been awkwardly stumbling his way into his current style (with a few exceptions). He’s really come a long way.

 

[101nemesis]

Good for UxU. Guess next volume will be intriguing to watch. Also, lets see how long this boost lasts.

That MHA volume cover is pretty darn great. Vol 27 and 25 were also amazing covers. His covers go on a next level whenever he syncs the logo with the actual cover's colors. Really helps with the immersion of the cover.

Doesn't Oda refuse to do anything digitally?

A bunch of the other mangaka have made comments about switching to digital stuff, but if Oda insists on doing everything by paper and pen in person it would make sense as to why he's struggling to keep up currently with the Covid restrictions.

thought he did switch over hence one of the volume delays???

Wait. I thought both of these were true. LOL

Not sure where this rumour of Oda absolutely refusing anything digital came from but it is def not true considering the OP twitter posts timelapses of him drawing color pages/volume covers on digital. The actual chapters were drawn manual but he might have switched over due to covid

 

[savethecat]

Again, I could have sworn Oda said in advance that there will be more breaks than usual because of Covid
