With big hitters like My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen saying goodbye, it’s time for Shounen Jump to embrace new works. Empyreal Cabinet is one of the latest manga to step up to the plate, swooping in to fulfill the needs of shonen fans. Penned by Fumiji Yuba, this series began publication on Aug. 15, and it’s already getting traction due to its gorgeous art and themes. The manga follows spellcaster Toya Tatsumori in a world where monsters roam Japan.

Duolingo has some explaining to do… It’s one thing to want a new look for the app’s resident owl, but another completely different to gross its users out. Unfortunately, the people behind the language-learning app are unconcerned about how icon changes affect folks who use it. On Aug. 29, folks started to notice that Duo was looking particularly sick. Its usual chirpy look had been replaced with a snotty nose, a fever-induced sweat, red eyes, and heavy bags under them.

Despite the initial wave of jokes and memes that Kagurabachi was met with, the manga keeps gaining popularity. All it took was for it to be given an actual chance, and now, folks are hooked. Following Chihiro Rokuhira, Takeru Hokazono’s work has become a must-read for shonen enthusiasts, with dark elements like war, revenge, and torture, as well as enough fights to keep fans of battle manga thoroughly entertained.
