Strict Algorithm LLC

To take a phrase from a friend, welcome to our second birth! Weekly Shogakukan Edition is now Strict Algorithm LLC. As noted on the quoted tweet, not much will change (not even the @) --this is to be legally distinct from Shogakukan. We'll still be doing threads, contests, and translations as always. Shogakukan is still going to be the key focus, *but* with this new name the hope is going forward we'll be applying our talents to J-culture/media of all kinds and publishers! Big thanks to @andysislands for the awesome transitional gif, and @soragsilverwind for the new logo.

@AonoriwaKame おめでとうございます！楽しみします😊

Oh my God. Oda (not that one) has gone there. He's gone and made a Jojo reference.

First frieren, and now Dagashikashi’s Hotaru! Hotaru Shidare is recommending Kei Yamadaka’s “Downer Oneesan wa asobitai.” I for one love this new fad of manga characters recommending manga. In the series, Haru’s making the tough transition into middle school when one day he meets a lady in the park, who loves Corocoro manga and wants to play games such as Beyblade? Runs in Corocoro comic. ©️KOTOYAMA/Kei Yamadaka/SHOGAKUKAN

So many Sunday legends in one photo. Fumi Hirano (Lum’s & Rumi Wakasa’s VA) Gosho Aoyama, Rumiko Takahashi, Mitsuru Adachi, and Noriko Hidaka (Minami-Touch/Sera-Detective Conan/and Akane-Ranma 1/2 VA!) it’s the ultimate Christmas present for a Sunday enthusiast!

Before there was Frieren and Conan, there was Recca and Conan! This issue came out in 1997 and advertises Conan's anime, and Recca's which would air in July of that year.

Some pics of Rumiko Takahashi and the Inuyasha cast at the time of the anime’s first airing! Takahashi-sensei even attended the recording of the first episode (third pic) hard to believe this was more than 20 years ago 😱
