Give it up for chapter 39! In this chapter the gang discusses reading manga digitally as soon as it goes on sale at midnight Japan time while living overseas in a different timezone. Can’t imagine what that’s like. Anyhow next chapter releases on September 17th Japan time. Volume 9 also comes out on that day, incidentally.

In the meantime, we’re working on Executive Director Shima volumes 1-2 and I’m in the middle of finalizing Gintama volume 54.

We have a Discord! Come hang out and talk about manga. https://discord.gg/Nw45rfJYZF
