Issue 21 of Japan’s Weekly Shonen Jump, officially on sale April 20, announced that it would be starting up three new series in the following issues.

As mentioned in a previous post, the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump is a highly competitive environment. Every so often some series are cancelled, after which new series are introduced. Among the three new series to start, one specific series discerns itself from the pack to One Piece fans.

If you’ve ever gone through the past Oda author comments that One Piece Podcast‘s very own Japan Correspondent and Shueisha collaborator Greg Werner has posted on his website, you might remember that Oda made a comment in the 50th issue of Jump in 2011 on a certain one shot he very much enjoyed.

The one shot he mentioned was a dancing themed series written by Onani Master Kurosawa and Koganeiro author Takuma Yokota. According to issue 21 of Jump, Takuma Yokota’s one shot will be turned into a series starting in issue 24. The series will be titled Sesuji wo Pin! to〜Kyougi Dance-bu e Youkoso〜.

What does this mean for non-Japanese residents? Well, if you live in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa and have access to the extremely cheap (about $0.50 an issue every week for a yearly subscription to 10) digital English Weekly Shonen Jump from Viz Media, you’ll be able to read the first three chapters of many new series on the same day the Japanese Jump magazine is releasing them, thanks to the “JUMP START” initiative started a while ago by Viz Media.

After a new series’s first three chapters have been released, depending on popularity and other factors, one (or more?) series might be added definitively to the English Jump line-up. So be sure to go check out this series One Piece author Eiichirô Oda himself praised. One Piece fans seem to love dancing after all!

Note: the series has not been officially announced yet by Viz Media, so they may or may not take on the new series, be sure to keep an eye out for that on the official English Shonen Jump website!
