Even more bangers than on Saturday.
Shueisha, the publishing company behind Weekly Shounen Jump, Shounen Jump+, Jump SQ, V Jump, and Saikyo Jump, spoils their fans annually with the Jump Festa, condensing all the news about upcoming releases and current top manga in only two days. We will be buzzing with some new information after this weekend, because this time Jump Festa will take two days — it will happen on Saturday, December 16, and Sunday, December 17.
We have already told you the schedule of the Saturday line-up: it will be filled with news about Jujutsu Kaisen, Blue Box, Sakamoto Days, and many more titles that have already risen to popularity or are on a steady way to doing so. This article will focus on the event on Sunday, and trust us, it will be even more exciting.
This year Jump Festa will be fully streamed only, all three of its stages: Jump Super Stage Red, Jump Super Stage Blue, and Jump Studio, but only the Red stage will receive an English translation. Still, you will be able to witness all that is going to happen yourself, if you don't mess up the time zones. All the timestamps we post here are JST time. For the Saturday's schedule, please refer to this article.
Schedule
Jump Super Stage Red
10:30 – 11:10 — Kaiju No.8
We will be greeted by the anime voice actors and should expect "a big announcement," as it says on the site. Now we know that Kaiju No.8 is being made into an anime, so we'll definitely get more information about the specifics.
12:10 – 12:50 — Rurouni Kenshin
For the first time, the stories from behind the scenes of the production of this manga will be revealed. It has never been featured at Jump Festa, so there's a lot to talk about.
