Rivals teaming up with rivals is just like something out of a shonen manga! Yesterday's enemy is today's friend. They are reassuring partners. For me personally, I am happy to be able to read JUMP so openly! I hope you all enjoy "JUMMAGA GAKUEN" with us. Please enjoy "JUMMAGA GAKUEN" with us and recommend it to your friends.
