This week we bring you prelude to the end of a beloved gag manga in the magazine (not Roboco) and speculate on which other Jump series might be next on the chopping block as a new wave of serializations rolls in. In Show & Tell, Andrew dives into an office-ninja thriller that seems to take itself a bit too seriously. Plus: Card Game Corner turns into a fiery rant about Konami’s baffling decisions in Yu-Gi-Oh!'s retro scene and Sebastian’s final departure from Yu-Gi-Oh! for greener pastures. All that and more on Manga Musings!
