JoJolion chapters usually come out the second/third week of the month, like 14th - 21st thereabouts.

It feels like it rarely goes on hiatus. If it does, it's around December or because he's doing a Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe chapter and that will be the chapter for the month. It's never a Berserk or HxH style hiatus tho, he's back the next month

I feel like a part of it is that JoJo doesn't do digital translations like stuff like One Piece or My Hero Academia do. I'm not even sure I know any monthly mangas that get official translations the week they come out. When you don't have the backing of Shonen Jump money for translations three days later, you rely more on physical media. That makes you factor in printing, manufacturing, shipping and distribution as your only source of release, this is why I'd guess that Part 3 took three - four months to come out like a normal manga would when they already had the old, and pretty good iirc, translation.

Also I'd imagine there's some coordination with the anime. Putting out a volume of Part 6, 7 and 8 right now when the Part 5 anime is only over halfway done wouldn't really move units except for the hardcore crowd, but put out the first volume of Part 4 when Part 5's coming to a climax, and anyone in Barnes and Nobles can go "oh neat, I'm watching this now, I remember this from a couple years ago, i'll get this"

I'm at a weird place where I started buying the JoJoniums but fell off around halfway of Part 3 and I dunno if I want to keep going or not. I want to own Part 4 and absolutely Part 7, but do I wanna finish that collection? i love JoJo but that's SO many volumes and they don't even come in a cool carrying case like the One Piece volumes do.

what's an otaku to do

The Part 4 volumes do look great, I like their style a lot more than I do the JoJoniums

I would love to get the Berserk Deluxe volumes but $45 - 50 is soooooo much for three volumes that I don't know if it'll even finish. Like I like Berserk but those feel like a real luxury purchase. In contrast, the One Piece box sets are like $100~ for 20+ volumes and you get a box with a handle to keep em in! 's like a drat gamecube

I love the idea of owning big epics like JoJo/Berserk/One Piece so maybe one day tho

i've been debating if we should do the part 7 simulread as a seperate thread or as just an internal thread thing

it'd be easier to have discussions if we're not limited to just the week's chapters and i know this fanbase can't keep secrets to save it's loving life, but seeing new people's thoughts would be cool

either way, i'm thinking three volumes a week. i know that's not even but two months feels neat and tidy to me

It'd be better as different thread because like I said a while back I think this one needs refreshing and it'd get interrupted with JoJolion things and anime stuff.
you're not wrong but UGH making a new OP. work.

Also I think it'd be kinda appropriate to start it on September 25, but I wanna read it noooow
If we could stretch to end on January 19th i'd agree but

yeah I'll do an interest check in the anime thread for it during the weekend when it has more traffic for the new episode. A thread just for it is probably for the best and we can just move any spoiler chat from there to here. I'm thinking starting when Part 5 finishes is the way to go, so still during summer.

And yeah, an entirely new manga thread might be good too if someone wants to do that, if not I'll slowly pick at making one

yeah actually they will posted:

this is right... the manga even had an interstitial page saying that the arrow was a "tool" created by humans to "draw out" the potential for stands... not posting it in the anime thread in case the image of the devil's palm counts as a spoiler


Totally forgot about this, this is cool. Its def cool to post in the anime thread if you want, the devils palm isnt distinguishable as anything
