Shonen Jump's Comics App Now Lets You Read as Much Manga as You Want
This week Shonen Jump announced in an email to subscribers that it was removing its 100-chapter-a-day reading limit from the app, which had been in place since the service launched in 2018, now letting users read as much manga as they want with no restrictions. Sure, 100 chapters of manga was a lot of comics to be reading in a single day in the first place, so it's unlikely that most but the absolute power users of the service regularly hit this cap. But now your marathon reads of the likes of One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball, Bleach, and the many, many more manga series with chapter counts in the multiples of hundreds can continue unimpeded.
It's a smart move, considering the sheer number of manga series that have chapter counts that run well over a hundred chapters. Even if not too many people were regularly hitting the 100-chapter cap for a day, the fact that it's no longer there in their minds makes subscribers open to reading more, and trying more series out. You get to read a lot of comics, Shonen Jump gets a loyal subscriber, everyone wins.
Except whoever now tries to binge all of One Piece in a handful of days just to prove a point. Remember to take breaks!

When in Doubt, Wear Your Clothes Backwards or Inside Out
For as long as I can remember, I've loved wearing things the 'wrong' way and repurposing non-traditional objects as outfits. Skirts as sleeveless dresses, necklaces as belts and vice versa, button-down tops backwards, wide belts as skirts, skirts over pants. I also have a penchant for Christmas ornaments as earrings, and antique miniature portraits meant for walls on chains as charms. There is nothing better to me than wearing vintage skinny belts (preferably by Whiting & Davis) as necklaces. But most of all: jackets, coats, shirts and dresses, inside out. So, I was overjoyed when on the fall 2025 runways, more than one designer engaged in flipping the script on how we conventionally wear our clothes. Upside down, inside out, reversed and contorted. For the final of Yohji Yamamoto's fall 2025 collection, a group of models emerged wearing long back jackets with brilliant royal purple accents. They paused for the audience to look on, as they swapped the garments and turned them literally inside out, helping each other along the way to reveal outfits that were entirely different from what they first wore. Yohji-San famously doesn't do interviews unless they're in-person, but via an email, he tells Vogue that the concept was about 'perfection... imperfection... I think they are the same. They can switch. So I want to show both sides.' He continues: 'When you wear clothes in a different way, maybe you find something new. When you turn them inside out, you can see the construction. You see the truth. Sometimes this part is more beautiful.' Yohji Yamamoto fall 2025 collection. Yohji Yamamoto fall 2025 collection. Likewise, the rising brand Zomer, run by Danial Aitouganov and Imruh Asha, kicked off its fall 2025 show backwards, with models taking their final walk first. They all wore pieces that were upside down, turned around, or purposely inverted. 'It all began with a conversation between us, a shared desire to go back in time and redo things,' says Aitouganov. 'That idea sparked our styling process, which then evolved into the design phase. Some pieces are intentionally designed to be worn back to front. They might look 'wrong' at first, but the fit is just right. And some items were styled specifically for the show.' For Sarah Burton's fall 2025 Givenchy debut, structured dresses looked like they had been intentionally designed to look backwards, revealing the flip side of a collar that may have been on the back. Similarly, sustainable designer Maria McManus had models wear outerwear inside out for the spring 2025 show, to show the otherwise hidden details like organic cotton lining, buttons made from biodegradable potato starch and corozo nuts, and expertly bound seams.

Hell Yeah, ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II' is Happening
After repeated teases over the past year, Studio Trigger revealed it's making a sequel to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, its hit 2022 anime based on Cyberpunk 2077. At the show's AnimeExpo panel on Friday, returning showrunner Bartoz Sztybor and season one voice actors Zac Aguilar (David Martinez) and Emi Lo (Lucy Kushinada) revealed the new season with a tantalizing poster made by Trigger character designer Ichigo Kanno. The new series is said to be standalone—sorry, season one fans, Sztybor and the trailer itself very much confirm original Edgerunners protagonist David is still dead—and will provide 'a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge' across its 10-episode run. The logline for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II asks, 'When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?' The original centered on David's transformation into an Edgerunner after surviving a drive-by shooting and gets a powerful spinal implant. Along with critical acclaim for its writing and animation, it's been remembered for its pretty brutal ending, which left David and nearly every other main character dead by the end of their adventure. But if you thought that was bad, Sztybor teased things would get even worse for this new set of characters. 'I just wanted to make the whole world sad,' he said during Friday's panel. 'When people are sad, I'm a bit happy. This new season will be, of course, sadder, but it will be also darker, more bloody, and more raw.' Edgerunners II will be directed by Kai Ikarashi, who helmed the original's sixth episode 'Girl on Fire' and previously worked on Delicious in Dungeon and Mob Psycho 100. No word on when Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II will arrive, but luckily, there's some stuff to tide you over. There's a manga prequel all about supporting character Rebecca, and the show's co-protagonist Lucy joins Guilty Gear Strive later this summer. And if you've been holding out for a Blu-Ray for season one, it's coming October 28, with pre-orders opening August 26. 💥Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is in production! 💥 It presents a new standalone 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077— a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge. ❓When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter? 👀… — Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (@edgerunners) July 4, 2025Want more io9 news?

World's largest Legoland opens amidst Shanghai heatwave
STORY: :: The world's largest Legoland opens in Shanghai amidst a sweltering heatwave :: Shanghai, China :: July 5, 2025 :: The theme park has been built using over 85 million Lego bricks Shanghai's meteorological observatory issued on Saturday morning an "orange" high-temperature alert, the second-highest in China's weather alert system, behind red. Parts of the country's eastern and central provinces are bracing for temperatures over 104 Fahrenheit, due to an early summer heatwave. Despite the alert, entry tickets to the new Legoland resort were sold out as thousands queued in the heat to try out more than 75 rides, performances, and attractions spanning over 300,000 square meters. While most visitors were upbeat, one complained to Reuters that the long queues outside to enter the venue were poorly organized. Staff handed out bottles of water to visitors while one visitor received medical attention due to the heat. Legoland Shanghai is operated by a joint venture between Merlin Entertainments, which runs Legoland parks around the world, and the Shanghai Jinshan District local government.
