To take a phrase from a friend, welcome to our second birth! Weekly Shogakukan Edition is now Strict Algorithm LLC.
As noted on the quoted tweet, not much will change (not even the @) --this is to be legally distinct from Shogakukan. We'll still be doing threads, contests, and translations as always.
Shogakukan is still going to be the key focus, *but* with this new name the hope is going forward we'll be applying our talents to J-culture/media of all kinds and publishers!
Big thanks to @andysislands for the awesome transitional gif, and @soragsilverwind for the new logo.
🚨IMPORTANT NEWS🚨
Announced today at @mangamavericks #SDCC2025 industry panel:
Starting in August, “Weekly Shogakukan Edition” as it is now will be absorbed into my new LLC “Strict Algorithm.”
Fast facts:
✅By the end of August this and all of our accounts will have changed names.
✅Day to day operations will *not* change. Nor will the @ (we’ll still be WSSTB on tags, just not in name.)
✅ This is being done to further make us legally distinct from Shogakukan.
✅The logo (designed by @soragsilverwind) will be as depicted below beginning August 1st.

Gosho Aoyama (Detective Conan) has remarked in several interviews that one of his favorite manga as a child was Tetsuya Chiba's kendo manga "Ore wa Teppei," enough that he joined the kendo club as a kid himself. He even submitted works to Shonen Magazine before eventually going to Shonen Sunday.
As an anecdote, the editors at Kodansha said his artwork wasn't "magazine-esque," which is what led him to go to Shogakukan. Had they not said that, maybe Conan would be in Magazine right now....

漫画家デビューが「ちばてつや賞」でした。授賞式の懇親会で「（矢吹）ジョーを描いてください！」とお願いしたら「ジョーはもう描けないから段平でいいかな」とおっしゃるので「段平も大好きです！」と描いてもらうことに。すると急に紙の真ん中をグリグリと黒く塗りつぶすので驚いていたら、なんと眼帯から描き始めるちば先生。ちば先生がいなかった今のは我々はいませんでした。お悔やみ申し上げます。

The closest thing I’ll ever have to children as I grow more ancient and decrepit is all of the manga mavericks licenses that I’m translating that I personally picked for licensing myself.
Thanks for making me a Dad @mangamavericks
(does that make @VLordGTZ the mom?) 🤔

So remember when I mentioned translating something really fun? It was this. It’s adventure time meets ghostbusters and is probably the funniest manga I’ve translated officially.
Please pick up volume one when it launches, I worked hard to match the comedy in this one.
