• Weekly Shonen Jump issue 21 (April 20, 2026)

“For some reason, I’ve ended up back in hell. I may be an old man now, but I’ll do my best as if I were a newbie”.

• Weekly Shonen Jump issue 22/23 (April 27, 2026)

“I just can’t seem to get back into a weekly pace. Actually, I’ve never really managed to meet deadlines properly before either.”

• Weekly Shonen Jump issue 24 (May 10, 2026)

“I’m heading back home for my father’s 1st year deathday. Part of me wants to show him my new serialized work, but I also feel like he’ll just lecture me… I offer my prayers*”.

*The word Sorachi used here is “Gassho”, which refers to the Buddhist act of clasping your hands in prayer, often when offering one’s condolences. The term is also used at the end of letters, and thus can be translated to “Yours truly” or “Your sincerely”
