"Ulong Police Station" will release new volume 201, equaling the world's longest comic

A few days ago, the 201st volume of the long-running comic "Golgo 13" was released, surpassing "Kochikame" (200 volumes) to become the world's longest serialized comic book (reported by this site). However, "Kochikame" is obviously unwilling to be lonely. After 5 years, the official announced that the 201st volume will be released. It seems that the competition between these two for the world's longest comic will continue.

"Kochikame" was announced to be completed in 2016. However, in recent years, Mr. Osamu Akimoto has been restless and various spin-offs and short stories have emerged one after another. It seems that the length is finally enough now. The latest 201st volume will be released on October 4, which includes various commemorative reviews and short stories. Interested fans can pay attention to it.

In addition, today another derivative short story "Ulong Police Station" was published in the latest issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump". The theme fits the current era of the COVID-19 pandemic and tells a new story about the two (male protagonists) affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and fighting against the epidemic.
