historians are at a loss from the discovery of a sequel to journey to the west featuring sun wukong's evil brother raditz

And there you have it... Me & Roboco now stands alone as the longest sub-300 chapter manga in Shonen Jump history. Only three more issues & it'll become only the 26th Jump manga to reach 300 chapters.

Me & Roboco has now not only surpassed Hareluya II BØY in length, but it's also tied The Gutsy Frog at 296 chapters. Starting next week Me & Roboco will be in its final month-worth of serialization before reaching Chapter 300. We're on the verge of the first 300th chapter in Jump since 2021.

My dad saw this and said, “Is that the fruit that makes people stretchy?”

Folks, I've been told there's a new MangaPlus survey where they ask about the use of AI translation. You know what to do docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Rereading Fullmetal Alchemist for the pod and it is immediately foot on the gas from page one.

I can’t be the only one who gets unreasonably anxious during the mountain crossing in Pearl. It’s night at high elevation during an blizzard and you’re wearing a skirt! Girl, you’ll die!

If you see this, could you please reskeet it? I want to test something.

If you're not creating it yourself you're not an artist.

25% preorder sale takes MHA’s 2nd boxset down from $260 to $195. The war between girl math and actual math is at a stalemate. Save $65 on something I’ll want eventually vs. $195 is a lot of money for books I already own.

When I watched my dad’s old Star Trek tapes for the first time, I was particularly moved by the episode “Spock’s Brain” and rewatched it a bunch. It was years later before I knew it had achieved meme status online for how bad it is. Oh well. Happy 60th to Star Trek!

Explored Pokémon Bank a bit more than I have in the past as I sort through my collection prior to shutdown. Apparently there’s a stats page and I was never meant to know how many eggs I hatched in Y.

I'm almost 40% the way to securing my housing, which means I'm also almost to the critical 50% point that will mean I can solidly pay a huge chunk of back rent, which will help me secure my housing and avoid insecurity. Please help me keep sharing so I can keep my accessible home!

I’m at a major crossroads: I have until 9/20 to fully secure my housing after an ongoing fight for unemployment and state support as a disabled person. And there’s a direct way that you can help have a tangible effect: you can help me keep my home.

Interesting new series added to Shonen Jump after Shueisha just launched a project contracting agencies which utilize AI and low-paying anonymous translation work

I only recently learned that “Tohu vavohu” is the Hebrew from Genesis 1:2 that’s translated variously as “without form, and void”, “welter and waste”, “complete chaos”, etc. Kinda neat that I was able to recognize it in One Piece.

This was always going to be an unsurprising result, but it’s nice to get the U.S. total comparison. The section where it reveals which answers were the biggest tells is also cool.

I’m not playing Pokémon to get trolled like this.

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

So Emma Woodhouse is a pretty girl who is pretty smart, pretty rich, and pretty much has no problems whatsoever. We’re off to a roaring start.

Thinking about the alternate universe where Viz got the home video rights for My Hero Academia. My stomach wouldn’t be in knots about whatever fresh horror will come whenever Sonyroll deigns to release the final season.

Over two dozen Viz titles are now available at the MediaOCD store! mediaocd.com/product-cate...

Appreciated Spy x Family’s PSA on bias.

Striking the balance between “impress with skills to stave off unemployment” and “accidentally became important at work” is super tricky.

My accuracy streak is finally over. I accidentally preordered the same book twice.

Fun fact: This anime is why I recognized Fleming’s right-hand rule in Kaminari’s ultimate move pose

For “most out there” I would go with “Marie & Gali”, an anime about a girl who doesn’t get science who is isekai-ed into a city of history’s great (and wildly caricatured) scientists. Her mentor through it all is a bum-like Galileo.

Justin Sevakis, who currently runs AnimEigo, stated that "No company would ever spend money on this" when he wrote about Moshidora for ANN back in 2013 If YOU were Justin, what'd be YOUR Moshidora? What's the most out there, "No one would license this" concept anime that you'd license? Quote away!
