Weekly Shonen Jump No. 21," scheduled for release on April 20, has been postponed. Weekly Shonen Jump No. 21 and 22 will be released on April 27 as a combined issue.

The release of Weekly Shonen Jump No. 21 has been postponed.

The release of "Weekly Shonen Jump No. 21" has been postponed due to the suspicion that an employee in his 40s working in the editorial department was infected with a new type of coronavirus infection (COVID-19), which has become a worldwide problem.

On April 8, 2020, "Notice of the Postponement of the Release of Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 21" was posted on the official website of Weekly Shonen Jump, and the same text was tweeted on the official Twitter page.


According to the official website, "The employee in question has refrained from coming to work since April 2 when he developed a fever, and has been on standby at home after visiting a medical institution, awaiting a PCR test. He is not in a position to have direct contact with the writer in the course of his work." According to the company, all Shueisha employees have been working at home since April 6 to prevent the spread of infection. In addition, considering the risk of infection to writers and related parties, the company has decided to temporarily suspend work at the entire "Weekly Shonen Jump" editorial department.


In accordance with the above decision, "Weekly Shonen Jump No. 21" (paper and digital editions), which was scheduled to be released on Monday, April 20, has been postponed by one week and will be released on Monday, April 27, with the issue number changed to "Weekly Shonen Jump No. 21/22 Merger".


Weekly Shonen Jump No. 20 will go on sale on April 13 (Mon.) as scheduled, so don't forget to buy it and support the artists!
