Hello, manga fans! We have some big news straight from Shueisha that's sure to shake up the manga . In a recent press release, the publisher announced a major staff change at the renowned Weekly Shonen Jump .

Hiroyuki Nakano , who took over as editor-in-chief in July 2017, will pass the baton to Yu Saito , the current associate editor. Nakano, who was the 11th editor-in-chief in the magazine's history, has done an exceptional job over the years, succeeding Yoshihisa Heishi , who had been at the helm since 2011.
