That said, I am focused on whether Jujutsu Kaisen will be like Demon Slayer as well, not being tampered by the editors to milk more money out of it. Cause after Demon Slayer ended Jujutsu Kaisen seems to be the next best thing to popularize within the realm of Shonen Jump.

Damn, I just got hit with some bad news.
Not to go into too many details, but if anyone didn't know, COVID did a real number on international freight. It caused a huge backlog of shipping and a matching demand for shipping containers. So now the price for freight has increased as much as 9x the cost. The bill for my shipping container which was only supposed to be around $3k, is now $25k. This is the single biggest unexpected expense I've ever had to deal with. I uh... don't know what to do... God knows you probably don't need strangers on the internet giving you advice or offering solutions (everyone who doesn't run a business thinks they can fix how you run your business), but, like what are your options? I can't imagine a $22k increase is going to make shipping anything even close to worthwhile, but is it a shipment you can skip at this point? How locked in are you?

Just did my first ever GSSR roll in Fgo and ended up with....... Sigurd.
Sigh...... while I like him as a character I was hoping to either Abigail or Hokusai or even Jalter. Also I don't think he'll get be able to out damage my grailed Np4 Bedivere even with double Merlin. At least he's finally reunited with Brynhild I already got Arjunort, and Sima Yi before him, and since I didn't get First Hassan, I'm going to wait for Foreigner XX, to fill my Foreigner slot, than Merlin next month, to have a supportster who's in the meta.

Yeah there's not a lot of options. We're dealing with an extremely large number of goods worth significantly more than 22k. If I were to wait, the shipping cost could go up even more. Manufactured goods are not allowed to just sit at a warehouse or else incur storage fees and potential loss or damage. It also costs money to dispose of goods.
It's a unique situation and when I think about it, it really feels like capital extortion. We take for granted just how much the world economy relies on metal boxes carried on a boat. 22k basically eats into any expected profits for the whole year and I'll be operating at a loss for as long as I can. I feel really bad for all the other small business that are hit by this surcharge. Big companies will be able to swallow this charge and make up for it elsewhere. If you all are able to, please support small and local business whenever you can.

It certainly sucks when all you can do is, like, eat it. Shit rolls downhill, and the hill is very very high. Those bigger industry actors will find some way to pass their costs along to you, and the best you can do is try to figure out some way to stay afloat. While there's maybe nothing else you can do but weather the situation, and there's sadly not much I can do as a guy on the internet, at least let me say that I believe in your ability to weather it. I'm rooting for you!

I may have just introduced a bunch of YST/RW fans to Kamen Rider.
