This year’s 42nd issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine announced on September 17 that 11 Weekly Shonen Jump manga will hold collaborations with Osamu Akimoto’s Kochira Katsushika-ku Kamearikouen-mae Hashutsujo (“Kochikame”) police comedy manga, which ended in the same issue.
The 42nd issue’s cover featured images of Kankichi drawn by Akimoto as well as various Shonen Jump artists.
The various manga in the 42nd issue featured a small nod to Kochikame’s end: each manga featured a hidden image of protagonist Kankichi Ryotsu’s signature eyebrows.
Shueisha also went against its normal policy of not featuring a manga on the cover of the Weekly Shonen Jump issue that publishes its final chapter.
