We’re beginning a new segment this time: JUMPing to Conclusions, where we take a look at the new serialisations of Weekly Shonen Jump, break down our first impression, and predict whether we think it’ll survive in the cutthroat magazine. This episode covers Embers and Star of Beethoven which have both released their first chapter as of posting. Do we think football (soccer) and piano prodigies have a place in Jump in 2025? Listen to find out!
