Recent cancellations of manga series in Shonen Jump have all followed a similar pattern: each series ends after fewer than 30 chapters, and often less than 20. It now appears that Akira Inui’s Alien Headbutt will be next to end. Updates regarding the release of physical copies in Japan (noticed by @WSJ_manga on X) suggest the series will conclude in the next few weeks.
I really enjoyed playing Time Crisis at the arcade, but I never owned the game itself. I had the Virtua Gun for my SEGA Saturn, and that’s what I spent most of my time playing as a kid – blasting enemies in that on-rails shooter.

If you enjoy heist or mob films, here are some hidden gems worth discovering.
As a huge fan, I’ve always been struck by how special the episode directed by Avery Brooks is. It really gets at the heart of what makes science fiction so compelling – those core struggles that define the genre. Knowing he also starred in ‘Far Beyond the Stars,’ it’s clear how much of himself he poured into this one. It truly showcases one of the most powerful and moving performances Captain Sisko ever gave. And even now, years later, Avery Brooks still talks about it as his absolute favorite Deep Space Nine episode – and honestly, I can completely understand why!
You know, as someone who follows celebrity stories, I was really struck by a recent confession from the ‘This Is 40’ actor. He shared that he actually had a couple of brushes with the law before he became famous – two separate incidents, to be exact. It’s a reminder that everyone has a past, even those we see on screen!

Recent reports suggest a shift in creative direction for Season 2, as Tom King and Damon Lindelof are expected to leave the show, with new leadership taking over.

Recent sales numbers for the Silent Hill 2 remake and Silent Hill f, as reported by Gematsu, show there’s strong demand for more games in the spooky franchise. These successes suggest a potential revival for the series, and Konami has further plans in the works.
Blanka is one of the most recognizable and surprising characters in the Street Fighter games, first appearing in Street Fighter II. Before he became the wild creature fans know today, Blanka was a boy named Jimmy who found himself lost in the Amazon rainforest. There, he was changed by a virus called the B-Virus, which mixed his DNA with that of animals like jaguars and electric eels.
