Firstly, congrats to Marriage Toxin on getting an anime. Definitely one of my personal favorite Jump+ series.

Secondly, with all the stuff they have Hokazono doing for the 2nd anniversary, it's clear that the man is exhausted given just how much it has affected his work. They desparetly need to give him a break he deserves.

Lastly, wow. Ichi managing to sell 1 million copies only off of 5 volumes is insanity. Same for Phantom Busters with 6. Should I give the latter a try?

Yes! Definitely! The English Print for Phantom Busters Volume 1 by Viz media will be out on Oct 14th. There are no other English translations currently. Only a few fan translations but they are incomplete.
As for the story it focuses more on being a quirky punk comedy with supernatural elements!
