Shonen Jump US and Japan question.

Not sure who to ask so I'm sorry for putting it here instead of in a PM.

Is anybody currently picking up the US Shonen Jump? This month the final volume of Dr Slump came out, and to my surprise they didn't include the promotional chapter (for the Slumpbox) that came out in 2007 (or 2008). If there's someone collecting the US version, could you let me know if it gets printed (similarly to how they did NMZ5) so that I could pick it up?

Meanwhile, does anybody know what issue had this chapter in the Japanese version, and where I could buy it online?

I have the final volume of Dr. Slump in Japanese, and there's no promotional chapter in there.

Eeesh just when I let my US SJ subscription lapse...

I can't promise you but the "next month previews" didn't say anything about this.

It wasn't in the tankoubon or kanzenban. It was just in a Shonen Jump (V-Jump, Weekly Jump, I dunno) issue and reprinted as an insert in the Slumpbox.

OVA 11 is supposed to be based on it, which is why it's only 5 minutes. It's the chapter with Abale and the aliens of Gure's race.

@Laserkid: Thanks!
