If you haven't noticed, Obata Sensei's been quite busy lately! He's the artist for Gakkyu Hotei: School Judgment, but he still finds time for one-shots like RKD-EK9. The Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump does not have an issue this week, but we have a couple of bonus chapters to tide you over until next week. One is a dark comedy about heaven called RKD-EK9, and the other is a very special chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. But don't worry, this wont count against your subscription! 

RKD-EK9
story by Nisiosin, art by Takeshi Obata
What if heaven was real? Not only that, but a scientifically proven fact! And there isn't just one heaven, but several different kinds. But there's a catch—it's really, really hard to get in! In fact, it seems impossible because the average person can never accrue enough Altruism Points. But all that may change when Bokoku Kamayude, the daughter of the scientist who discovered the existence of heaven, reveals her incredible invention! 

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
Original Concept by Kazuki Takahashi, story and art by Naoyuki Kageyama
Jaden finally gets to duel his mentor, Hibiki! This is the guy he's looked up to since childhood! The guy who taught him the love of dueling! Can he possibly beat his own hero? Whatever the outcome, this is one duel Yu-Gi-Oh! fans have always wanted to see and now they can! 

Hope you enjoyed the bonus issue! The regular Weekly Shonen Jump will resume next week! Have a happy New Year!
