I’m really happy that Kohei Horikoshi has found success in Weekly Shonen Jump. His previous two series, Ōmagadoki Dōbutsuen and Barrage, both ended early and his career at Jump was on the cutting block. Now, this hit is fighting the likes of One Piece for most popular manga in Jump. The anime by BONES has also been amazing.
