Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of Weekly Shonen Jump manga, I am both excited and disappointed by the news of the upcoming hiatus. On one hand, I eagerly anticipate the return of my favorite series, such as One Piece, My Hero Academia, and Jujutsu Kaisen, and I can't wait to see what new adventures and challenges await the characters. The thought of catching up on the latest chapters and immersing myself in their captivating storylines fills me with excitement.
On the other hand, the one-week break feels like an eternity for a dedicated fan like me. The anticipation and eagerness to read the new chapters can be excruciating, especially considering that some of these series are at crucial points in their narratives. The wait only heightens my anticipation and makes the eventual return of the manga all the more rewarding.
