In fact, it actualy behooves WSJ for me to post pictures and teasers and tell you all about the upcoming chapters, because it could (and, if I do my job right, it SHOULD) prompt you to run out and buy a subscription for yourself. In my capacity as a reviewer, I can talk about all of it. What do I review here? Obviously, the current WSJ is out. There’s an actual value to my subscription again, because I’ve now read up to chapter 97…. I can only find up to chapter 95: “Beyond the Snow: Part 4” The last chapter I reviewed here was Chapter 93! I went to my usual sources for scans because, in the past, the other problem with WSJ was that it was always AT LEAST a week behind the pirates, and I thought, “Sh*t, they must have scanned up to 98 by now!”Įxcept they haven’t. In it, I see Blue Exorcist: Chapter 97 “Beyond the Snow: Part 6.” And, I’m, like, wait. Thus resolved, I paid my money and downloaded the most recent issue. Some of my current shounen favorites are WSJ products: My Hero Academia, Haikyu!, and, of course, Blue Exorcist. Listen, the thing is, I like officially supporting my mangaka, and I’m mostly over my saltiness over how WSJ handled the ending of Bleach (notice that I did NOT say I was over my feelings about the ENDING of Bleach.) Frankly, they publish good stuff. On a whim today, I decided to renew my subscription. Well….despite the distinct lack of likes, comments, or re-tweets, WSJ might actually have been listening to me. I blasted them over and over and over and…Īnd then I promptly cancelled my subscription. I tagged them in tweet after tweet after tweet where I asked them what was the point of my subscription when pirate sites were two weeks AHEAD of their official English-language digital-only production and they wouldn’t even translate all the material, like a runner explaining the Bleach was ending in a matter of weeks. I kind of lost my mind and went to Twitter in July of 2016 and took WSJ to task. White hot burning suns may have been involved. To say that I was furious was probably an understatement. Some of my longtime readers may remember my complete freak out over Weekly Shounen Jump‘s handling of the ending of Bleach.
