Finally! I've been waiting for this moment! Kimetsu no Yaiba is lit and I know it will get an anime sooner or later.

OMG Kaguya-sama and Black Torch as well? It's freaking Christmas. Love all of these, finally some announcements that don't disappoint.

Presumably none of them. These are announcements that they've licensed the series to eventually publish in collected volumes, rather than joining the weekly release of English Shonen Jump

Edit: Slight correction for Kimetsu no Yaiba. The series debuted in WSJ in 2016, not 2017.

Interesting pickup with Black Torch, after hearing it's having issues with popularity and sales I'm surprised it got picked up. I really hope the author can turn the ship around with it.

It's nice that they're picking up Kimetsu no Yaiba; I liked the art and it seemed to be doing decently in Japan, so I was curious about it. I've never heard about Back Torch, but I am all for more manga with cats in it.

Edit: Also, Kimetsu no Yaiba premiered in Jump in 2016, not 2017.

It's not even doing that badly sales wise from what I can remember and Jump SQ need some new fresh titles and clearly Black Torch is here to stay for a while.

KAGUYA-SAMAAAAA

I requested it on Seven Seas' survey, wasn't sure if the magazine it ran in went to VIZ first. Very happy about the pickup either way!

Great, Kaguya-sama and Black Torch were two of most wanted licenses. Happy about Kimetsu as well, started slow but has gotten really good the past few months.

I enjoyed what I saw of Black Torch but I haven't seen anything of Kaguya-sama or Kimetsu no Yaiba, so I'm curious to check them out for myself.

I tend to see at least one user comment "Please Viz, release Kimetsu no Yaiba" every issue of American Shonen Jump. Happy to see they finally decided to listen, and I'm interested in checking it out. Very Happy
