This week the cover.” beside a chart of the twenty-slot Weekly Shonen Jump No. 47 running order, with position 1 in orange labelled “Nue’s Exorcist · cover” and a dashed outline at position 15 labelled “Last week”.]() Nue’s Exorcist moved from 15th in Weekly Shonen Jump No. 46 to the cover and lead colour of No. 47. Bar lengths are decorative. / Off Model Last week _Nue’s Exorcist_ ran 15th in the same issue that brought news of its TV anime. This week Weekly Shonen Jump 2026 No. 47 gives it the cover, the lead colour and first place. It is the magazine catching up with the news, and it sets the tone for a lively, well-stocked issue with no breaks. Elsewhere, _Someone Hertz_ makes the week’s biggest move, _Kagurabachi_ climbs, and _Sakamoto Days_ uses next week’s preview to announce something readers have not had for a while: a popularity poll. The Jump Festa 2027 stage programme is out too, so this entry ends with the times that matter in Cyprus. > [!IMPORTANT] > **Coverage week** > > This entry covers Weekly Shonen Jump 2026 No. 47. English chapters arrived on Viz and MANGA Plus on Sunday 18 October and the Japanese edition on Monday 19 October. Discussion is limited to line-up, release and announcement details. No chapter events are described. ## Nue’s Exorcist goes from 15th to the cover Chapter 165 opens the issue in colour, billed as a celebration of the [TV anime announcement](). Kota Kawae’s comment at the back of the magazine thanks readers for support “strong enough to get an anime”. The jump from 15th to first is what a cover week looks like rather than a sudden change in fortunes, but it is a nice way for the magazine to mark the moment. The anime is due in summer 2027 on TV Asahi, and _Nue’s Exorcist_ will also appear on Jump Festa’s Jump Studio stage on 19 December. ## Someone Hertz makes the week’s biggest move The most interesting shift in the [running order]() has nothing to do with colour pages. _Someone Hertz_ climbs from ninth to second with chapter 53, its best placement in recent issues. _Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi_ rises five to fifth, _Ichi the Witch_ two to fourth, and _Graykeith: Translator Daemonica_ recovers four places to tenth after last week’s drop. _The Ura Files_ moves up to ninth at only chapter 7 and gets a centre colour next week. Going the other way, _Witch Watch_ drops six places to 14th, and _Shinobi Undercover_ slides from first to 15th, which is the usual comedown after an anniversary cover. _One Piece_ holds third with chapter 1196, then takes a break in No. 48. Running order is an editorial decision partly shaped by reader surveys, not a published ranking, and this one comes from two fan trackers that agree with each other. Read it as a weather report rather than a scoreboard. The colour pages inside go to _Akane-banashi_ for the climax of its current arc and its 24th volume, _Me & Roboco_ for volume 28, and _Osanamajo to Kateikyoshi_ by Isshin Mineuchi, the fourth Golden Future Cup one-shot. A fifth entry, by Wani, follows in No. 48, so the contest runs to at least five this year. ## Sakamoto Days calls a poll in its final stretch [Sakamoto Days chapter 279]() runs sixth, and the official No. 48 preview confirms two things for next week: a cover and lead colour for the series’ sixth anniversary, and its third character popularity poll. The timing is what makes it interesting. Shueisha said in July that the manga is [heading to its climax](), and there is still no end date. The previous poll opened in 2024 No. 47 and its results arrived in 2025 No. 14, about four months later. What this one means for the schedule is for readers to decide. For now it is a fun week to be a Sakamoto Days fan. The anime side stays fixed: Season 2 starts in January 2027 on Netflix, and the cast takes the Jump Festa Super Stage on 19 December. ## Kagurabachi climbs, and opens Jump Festa [Kagurabachi chapter 135]() runs 12th, up five places and its best slot in weeks. jump-otona marks it on reduced pages for a third week, and the exact page count hasn’t been confirmed. Off the page, the series has a busy run-up to its April 2027 anime. It opens the Jump Festa main stage on Saturday 19 December with Taiga Kimura, Tomokazu Seki, Katsuyuki Konishi, Yūichi Nakamura, Miku Itō and Kyōri Nemoto. An [Ichiban Kuji]() lottery with third-anniversary art launches in Japan on 24 October. For background on the stage, see our earlier piece on [Kagurabachi joining the Super Stage](). If the anime has you looking for the volumes, the [where-to-buy guide]() covers routes from Cyprus. ## Jump Festa 2027 in Cyprus time Jump Festa runs on 19–20 December in Japan, and all three stages stream live and free on Shueisha’s YouTube Jump Channel. The [Super Stage programme]() was released on 19 October. Cyprus will be on winter time by then, seven hours behind Japan, so the start times below are early ones. **Jump Festa 2027 Jump Super Stage times from the official programme (Famitsu, 19 October 2026). Cyprus is UTC+2 in December, seven hours behind Japan.** | Series | Day | Japan | Cyprus | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Kagurabachi | Sat 19 Dec | 11:40 | 04:40 | | Sakamoto Days | Sat 19 Dec | 14:40 | 07:40 | | Jujutsu Kaisen | Sat 19 Dec | 15:25 | 08:25 | | Chainsaw Man | Sun 20 Dec | 12:25 | 05:25 | | Akane-banashi | Sun 20 Dec | 15:25 | 08:25 | | One Piece | Sun 20 Dec | 16:45 | 09:45 | One Piece gets a 50-minute slot. AnimeMojo reports that the Jujutsu Kaisen stage will bring Season 4 news, but we have not confirmed that on the official site. Chainsaw Man’s stage features Kikunosuke Toya, and no announcement has been promised. Two dates come sooner. An _Akane-banashi_ Season 2 special streams on tv asahi animation’s YouTube channel on Sunday 25 October at 11:00 Cyprus time, ahead of [Season 2 in January](). And the [English dub of Black Clover Season 2]() started on Crunchyroll on 17 October, with Dallas Reid back as Asta. The [Black Clover Season 2 refresher]() is a good place to start. > [!NOTE] > **Clocks change on Sunday** > > Cyprus moves to winter time on Sunday 25 October. From then on, new English chapters on Viz and MANGA Plus arrive at 17:00 Cyprus time instead of 18:00. ## Lively, with Sakamoto Days as the pick No. 47 is a lively issue rather than a landmark: no breaks, a cover that the news earned, and a genuine climb for Someone Hertz. This week’s heat pick goes to _Sakamoto Days_, sixth in the line-up but first in what it promises next week: an anniversary cover and a poll. One Piece steps aside for No. 48, so the stage is clear. ## Sources 1. [Weekly Shonen Jump 2026 No. 47 issue information](), Shueisha (accessed 2026-10-20) 2.
