Atsushi Okubo’s Fire Force might have ended its run with Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine, but the release of the newest and final volume of the series has broken the franchise through to a huge new sales milestone! The original manga series ended its run earlier this Spring, and with it had introduced fans of Okubo’s works to some pretty surprise connections that weren’t spotted before.

Horimiya will be coming to an end soon after 10 long years of publication! Although Horimiya (officially known as Hori-san to Miyamura-kun) did not make its official anime adaptation debut until the Winter 2021 season, the original webcomic and resulting manga release have been running as one of the most popular romantic comedies of all time.

But hopes of that match were dashed when Omega and the rest of The Elite defeated Page and The Dark Order in a 10-man tag match....

One Piece’s Wano Arc has easily been one of the biggest in the history of Eiichiro Oda’s insanely popular Shonen series, placing the Straw Hat Pirates into an isolated nation that holds a Feudalistic Japan aesthetic, and it seems as if the director of the anime, Tatsuya Nagamine, is hinting that the best is yet to come.

As he prepares for his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu appears on the cover of the new issue of Entertainment Weekly. In the issue’s cover story, Liu discusses the line he walks trying to bring heroic Asian representation to the MCU. “There are two paradigms that are completely at odds with each other,” he says. “One being, as a progressive Asian American man, I’ve always wanted to shatter barriers and expectations of what Asian men are and be very aware of the boxes that we’re put into — martial artists, sidekicks, exotic, or Orientalist....
