Since it was moved to "online Shounen Jump Plus magazine" and there is already a page of itself, should the new releases go there instead and put this as complete?
Or would it be better to delete the Chainsawman 2 page?

And last but most importan what are your thoughts on part 1/2... whatever is the last one when you read this? 😁

No, on the official Japanese app Shonen Jump + it is it's own title called Chainsaw Man 2 and Chainsaw Man is separate entity. That is an American issue with the American website. I can send a photo if this website allows it through a screenshot (will be in Japanese).

Unless Viz and MANGA Plus change their website to say "Chainsaw Man 2", I will not move the release

Ok, but eh..
Example: It's like saying well Shueisha (Japan) says this chapter releases in 2 weeks but Viz says 1 week. Should you trust the main foundation outsourcing it (Japan) or the one providing it for American audiences (Viz).
If you need evidence that Japan considers it it's own entity I can send you screenshots through links on the Shonen Jump + app.
On the Shonen Jump + app it's separate while on the website link it refers to the chapter as "98" though it's separated still.
And you can see on the Japanese website it refers to it as Chainsaw Man 2.
Also, it refers to it as Chainsaw Man Part 2 rather than Chainsaw Man 2. Can we use the JoJo way of listing it. You could separate it into 2 manga and make a completely different one that combines them.

Making a hub page only makes sense for a series with a LOT of releases. Only Jojo no Kimyou na Bouken comes to mind.

Chainsaw Man 2 / チェンソーマン 第二部 needs to be kicked as a separate entry if none of the releases go there. We will only know what Viz has in store for Part 2 once the first collected volume comes out. So at the end of the year? Its anyone's guess till then.

Yu-Gi-Oh was pulled apart into 3 parts in America and that is how the site lists the 38 Vol series. Dragon Ball on the other hand is one single entry on MU but is still a 2 part series in America. So the site has never been too consistent with these Jump manga.

Interesting. I would say make it seperated into 2 parts and have a combination page alongside.

Can I ask based on your IMDB rating you gave Steven Universe a 90% in terms of a rating.

How would you say the negative videos and overwhelmingly hate that has grown in the fandom across youtube and other sites like bitchute with E;R, Lily Orchard, Jay Exci and more calling it propaganda and calling the creator for "redeeming nazi-inspired characters" (though the creator is Jewish).And this is just the common knowledge stuff.

And how would you say the fandoms actions and the extreme toxic fandom that is there? (Example: The Tumblr part of the Steven Universe fandom made a girl attempt suicide over not making a drawing of a character "fat enough" calling her fatphobic (etc.) and when one of the workers of the show spoke out against the tumblreans actions they got mad and leaked their N/A (cant say what they drew cause..) and then they stayed quiet after that and that's just the easier one to talk about).

World's End Harem is a Jump+ manga. Part 2 is listed in the main entry despite being a time jump sequel with a new protagonist. Viz adjusted the logo below the volume count but After World will simply be Vol 13 of the series in America: https://amazon.com/Worlds-End-Harem-Vol-13/dp/1638583099

The conditions are identical if one overlooks the publication jump with CSM. How MU treats WEH needs to be how this is settled for now unless Viz pulls a new vol 1 out of a hat in the near future.

IMDb is inconsistent with how it deals with director´s cuts or multi-part series. The director´s cut for BvS got its own page months ago but was released in the summer of 2016. It was submitted enough times for an admin to give in after years. Steven Universe Future is listed as S5 in the main page under episodes and the overall entry lists those actors and crew members but Future also has its own page. I edit IMDb. That shit will never be solved. Simply too much content out there as the site lists film, tv, games, a few podcasts, audio dramas (Sandman), motion comics, music videos, docs and so on. All of them have casts and crews after all. MU has a narrower focus. The gods might or might not come up with a best practice for MU. Never so with IMDb.

Edit: Images don´t work anymore. My zinger works in the preview function.

Edit 2: Chainsaw Man 2 / チェンソーマン 第二部 got deaded so I could now use both under Associated Names so that future chapters link back here.
Status in Country of Origin is now set to how other multi-part series do it. So is Serialized In (magazine).
The series will likely need a School Life genre in the future as Part 2 is advertised as the high school arc but let´s see where we are after 2 volumes. See you in the funny papers!

Yeah, IMDB is braindead when it comes to functioning correctly. Looking at stats and age ratings shows it. A show could have a 10 percent of users give it a 1 out of 10 and 52 percent give it a 10/10 and it could get like a 9.7/10.
And when it comes to Steven Universe the site basically broke the series.
Just like ATLA:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1166830/characters/nm0933281
I have been trying to get into Steven Universe but decided to watch some vids about it to see what the show would be like and... Wondering does the show actually forgive nazis (the main gem people that from what i've heard act like nazis) or is that an exaggeration?
