Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #15 (Released March 9, 2026)
Today I want to briefly share information about one of the most popular magazines in Japan.
The Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #15, released on March 9, 2026.
As many of you know, Weekly Shonen Jump is famous worldwide. Recently, it has attracted even more attention from overseas collectors because some issues include One Piece cards as special bonuses.
However, this time the bonus is not a card it is a special poster.
Surprisingly, this poster has become extremely popular in Japan, and the magazine price has already started increasing in the secondary market.
I purchased several copies today, including one for my personal collection, since I had already received a few requests.
The poster design is actually very cool, and it looks even better if you frame it.
If you would like a copy of Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #15, please contact me before around March 13.
I may still be able to secure one for you.
Visiting Bandai Namco Cross Store
Today I also visited Bandai Namco Cross Store again.
As I mentioned in previous posts, the reason is the Netflix Live-Action ONE PIECE promotional card distribution.
Many collectors want to have at least one copy, so I have been helping people obtain them here in Japan.
However, the distribution stock seems to be getting very low, and it may end soon.
If you are interested in this promo card, please contact me while they are still available.
A Stop at the Pokémon Center
After that, I went to the Pokémon Center.
Recently I introduced some regional Pokémon card sleeves, and the number of orders increased, so I went to restock them.
To be honest, these sleeves usually sell out very quickly.
But today I was lucky they had just restocked, so I was able to buy them.
And of course… I also bought some Pokémon card packs.
Here is what I picked up today:
- Munikis Zero (limit: 5 packs per person)
- Mega Brave (limit: 10 packs per person)
- Mega Symphonia (limit: 10 packs per person)
Recently, many overseas customers have been buying individual packs instead of full boxes.
And interestingly, many of them come back and buy again after their first purchase.
The reason is simple.
Opening packs is exciting, and there is always a chance of pulling a big hit.
Compared to buying an entire box, packs are more affordable and still very fun.
Another reason people like them is transparency.
Every time I buy packs, I share the actual purchase location and situation on my blog, so collectors know exactly where they came from.
Upcoming Release: “Ninja Spinner”
In just a few days, the new set “Ninja Spinner” will be released.
Pokémon Center has already held a lottery sale for this product, and the winners will be able to purchase starting March 13.
We have already received many orders from customers who want boxes or packs.
Just like with previous releases, I personally think buying a small number of packs is a great option.
New releases often feel expensive, so buying packs allows you to enjoy the experience without spending too much.
And who knows — you might pull something amazing.
If you are interested, feel free to consider Ninja Spinner as well.
Upcoming Releases in Japan
Looking ahead, there will be several Dragon Ball related releases starting around March 13.
For Pokémon and One Piece, there are currently no major new card set releases announced, but there will be many new merchandise items.
Also, card reprints sometimes appear unexpectedly in Japan, so it’s always worth keeping an eye on the market.
