It was part of the Fall manga preview guide, but ANN will also often do full length re I was for series featured in the manga guides later on.

In MangaPlus is still available. And in fact was first released in Spanish.

Also, asides from the story, the art, is one of the best I've ever seen in a manga. Splash pages full of the minimal detail, that makes you think "How can you do this in just a week? Did you sell your soul?"

The answer to that is usually working literally back-breaking long hours that will eventually destroy their health and render them unable to draw.

Apparently Jump+ gives their creators more flexibility in their schedules, compared to regular Jump’s rigid weekly schedule, so having more time to work on each chapter could by why Dandadan’s artwork is as good as it is.

I mean more flexibility doesn't really mean much when Dandadan still releases a chapter every week, unless there's something I'm missing

Yeah, I looked over the chapter dates on the wiki, and Tatsu's only skipped three weeks since it started -- one last November, one in January, and one in June. By comparison, Oshi no Ko averages around 38 chapters a year, though I don't know how much of that is to reduce strain on Akasaka (who has another series running, though that'll change in a couple weeks) and how much is for Yokoyari.

I guess availability is due to location as I'm in Ireland and its available in English on the IPAD App here.

The point I was trying to make is that not many people could draw that, no matter how much time they have. Yukinobu Tatsu is a great artist, even with a full assistant army and all the time of the world.

All of it is also available in the Shonen Jump vault, but it is on the website only, just like Fire Punch, Golden Kamuy, that one Chainsaw Man chapter, etc. For whatever reason, Manga Plus is ok with any content while Viz needs to lock some of it out of their app.

Speaking of Chainsaw Man, the mangaka of Dandadan was an assistant to Fujimoto. That probably explains the style and quality of the art.
