p-kun said: Katori's short profile at the end of the volume indicates that she increases her chest size in her trion body. LOL. So Yuuta likes Katori who likes Karasuma, while Rokurou likes Hana who likes Arashiyama. Moreover, with Ashihara's fondness of Kitora and Katori, I think we know his taste in women now. I think it is more to the fact that he likes characters who are more overtly flawed because they are more interesting to write and develop. |
| Vol. 17... 133k in 3 days. I think it's doing really good this time. |

p-kun said: HyreinVeltiston said: Vol. 17... 133k in 3 days. I think it's doing really good this time. IIRC the previous volume sold 143k in 3 days. Though it seems like all series are down right now so it's probably just digital ratios increasing. |
| So do you all think Ashihara might end the series with the conclusion of the rank wars like he almost did with the end of the large scale invasion? His condition is now knocking him out of duty for months and it will probably continue to get worse. |

His condition is now knocking him out of duty for months and it will probably continue to get worse. T-2 fail to make it to the top 2. Invasion group gets annihilated. Earth is invaded and destroyed. The end. No. I hope he gets someone else to do the art. It'd be a waste especially since he has the story in his head. |
| IIRC (from Chippo's translating of WT event) - TV team has (or mostly has) had coordinated the Script far (or far~ish) ahead from where manga currently is. I am not sure if it is as far as in case of One Piece (which has all major plot points given to TV team) but i take it they can further coordinate every important detail even in case if Manga is under too long of Hiatus >_> (looking at you HxH) |

That and I'm not sure if I'd want World Trigger's continuation to be Toei animation exclusive. |
| So currently volume 17 is doing a bit worse than 16, however the sales for the 2nd week are better (than they were for 16). Hopefully what happened with 16 happens again here; as in poor first week but the other weeks do better for an overall increase in total sales. |

Hopefully what happened with 16 happens again here; as in poor first week but the other weeks do better for an overall increase in total sales. I think 16 ultimately ended up close to where 15 was so seeing 17 following a similar trend is good. I wish we knew what digital sales were. |
p-kun said: So vol 18, which was scheduled for March, is postponed according to information in mangahelper forum. This indicates that the hiatus will be longer than we expected. I am bracing for a 6 month hiatus, hopefully not longer. 6 months would be very bad for the series. The audience retention would deteriorate quite a bit. |
| I hope it returns in January... I really wanna see some more WT chapters. :c |
| 6 months?! That can't be right... How could they allow that to happen. Don't they have other artists or Ashihara's assistants who could do the drawings. I mean unless Ashihara is in a coma he should be able to approve and direct someone else drawings, even it takes 2 weeks per chapter. I'm all for respecting an author's right to the whole creative process but even Ashihara must realise that a 6 month hiatus would jeopardize the future of the manga as a whole. |

Getting assistance is a weird thing in Japanese culture, so you probably shouldn't expect that to happen. But yes, a 6 month hiatus would be incredibly bad for the series. Ashihara needs to figure out how to get back in the game if he wants to continue. I would recommend the series become biweekly or monthly |
| So does anyone know how volume 17 did in its 4th week? Sorry if bumping this thread got your hopes up.. |

| Niiiiiiiiicee Cover! |
juandmarco said: Still no news of a possible return. :( I'm happy for the cover with Ikoma, however. lol We got something in Vol. 18:  |
James_Rye said: juandmarco said: Still no news of a possible return. :( I'm happy for the cover with Ikoma, however. lol We got something in Vol. 18: That's really nice. I'm happy he's doing well. Does that mean the manga might come back soon? |
| That's good. I guess that means he is doing physical therapy or something. |
| Considering he called himself fat a few times in the past I'm assuming him losing weight is a good thing. Regardless, great to finally hear something from him :D Hope he gets better soon. |
|
| We have the first part of Chippo's translation for the volume extras. http://chippokenabokura.tumblr.com/post/157969834403/world-trigger-volume-18-extras-part-1 |
| Part 2 of the volume extras: http://chippokenabokura.tumblr.com/post/158021373463/world-trigger-volume-18-extras-part-2 Looks like Yuma's side effect did pick up Mizukami lying |
James_Rye said: juandmarco said: Still no news of a possible return. :( I'm happy for the cover with Ikoma, however. lol We got something in Vol. 18: Sounds like he's doing better, and lost some weight! Maybe in couple of months Trigger on! |
| Bumping this thread to remind people it exists. Sorry if I startled you. Anyway, when can we expect early leaks again? I completely forgot how this whole thing used to work. |
|
| Huh. Osamu sounds like he's doing better than expected. I wonder how much he'll be able to do before eventually bailing out. |
|
| Wait I thought the chapter was supposed to release on the 4th? Are early spoilers much earlier for monthly compared to weekly? |
|
| Huh. TIL. stupid character limit |
|
| There are raws and a full translation out already but ain't touching that. I don't enjoy reading manga when the English translation is separate from the pages :feelsbadman: |
|
| Holy hell I saw some of the pictures and I am impressed. So many good moves by everyone, and so much destruction. Couldn't tell if it was meteor or ibis but Chika doesn't mess around :monkaS: |

Botato said: Couldn't tell if it was meteor or ibis but Chika doesn't mess around :monkaS: It was Meteor. And she accidentally got the point. More then anything, i am glad to make a note, that people start acceptin that Osamu is no longer trash-tier weakling and his growth, even if not "geniuis-like", is actually pretty decent, and even above that... At least that's the general "feeling" of posts on WT reddit. Korean and Japaneses fanbase are not that different it seems... |
| Good to note that the recent author comment stated a minor reduction in page count for each chapter. It looks like chapter page count is going to be cut off at 20 instead of 23 and 21 pages like the last two chapters. I thought I would point this out since alot of people are having trouble reading the comment and think it means a chapter count reduction. |
| Ah, that sucks. Hopefully it's just a technical issue with the new magazine and not due to health issues again. |
