I have seen this mentioned in some anime reporting. It sounds like an anime
forum or a magazine, but strangely I can't find any information on it.

What is a "wrap around jacket band"?


It is an [_obi_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obi_\(publishing\)), which is
also known as

> a strip of paper looped around a book or other product.

As Wikipedia continues to mention,

> Many books in Japan are supplied with an _obi_ , which is normally added
> outside any [dust jacket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_jacket). [...]
>
> In English, the term _belly-band_ is sometimes used instead.

The following image is the _obi_ on _Tokyo Ghoul:re_ volume 7.
