Ooookay, here we are, volume 15. A whole lot has been going on in my life this past month or so and it’s really been quite distressing. Just a generally stressful and difficult time all around with a lot of ups and downs. But it feels good to have this volume done, working on this series is generally a pretty enjoyable time (for something that’s work, at least).

This volume concludes the Cosmos Group Acquisition arc and starts the Office Chief Hirai arc. After this volume we’ve just got two volumes left in Section Chief, so we’ve really got not too much left at this point. The plan for now is to start Division Chief at least and just see where we go. I might do it slower or more infrequently or something like that but I really don’t think I’m just gonna marathon through 85 volumes of this series (which isn’t including the prequels, spinoffs, and non-canon extra things. And also the series is still going.) I hope you’re all enjoying it, I know I am. There’s really just a lot that happens in this series and it feels like it always tackles a different part of society. And it’s interesting to look back on their perspective on the future back in the 80’s and early 90’s. The whole Cosmos Group buyout story is loosely based on how Matsushita (Panasonic) bought Universal in 1990. But I’d imagine it’s also quite dramatized and combines some other semi-real-life events to create what we ultimately end up with. The Hirai arc is also a really good human drama with a lot of complexity to it. I thinks folks will really enjoy that if you’ve liked those sorts of arcs so far.

Anyhow, I’m gonna go relax. The next release will probably be the new Ikoku Nikki chapter that comes out on the 8th Japan time. Then the next Jojo chapter should come out on the 17th Japan time.

Oh by the way the Gold Soushuuhens only went up to volume 14 so we don’t have any more starting color pages for the last 3 volumes. We’re just gonna have to make do with the color pages from the tankoubons, bunkobans, and zenshuus from this point on I’m afraid.

Check out my summary here of what this series is about if you haven’t seen it yet.

Also, we have a new Discord! Come hang out and talk about manga. https://discord.gg/Nw45rfJYZF
