Is this finally the week we see Roboco flop in theaters?
Read her manga.
Do not ever post robocco in my presence again
Roboco is based
Based Box is better than Roboco
She won my heart
Fuck off
Kek, nice Ichi the Shill exclusive cover. The women exist only for serving the man
this week was so fucking bad
Ruri when?
our CRIMINALS
Jump Giga spring 2025 preview
KGB out of nowhere AGAIN
Checked. Fuck that forced consolewarring faggot
278060683
Uh oh, melty
... aside from the early cover you mean, schizo?
And it's been three months of shilling since then.
I laughed my ass off with this week's Roboco chapter
Is this the new ritual post?
pirate
ninja
assassin
basketball player
What did Chinatsu do?
Slowly climbing up the tier list
Being the worst girl in BB
rape
the consolewarrer has shifted to BB
what next the elusive samurai?
shinobigoto?
console wars
why would you waste your precious time with that when you could be reading manga, Anon Babble?
Read all jump manga now
Read Galaxias
Read Oh! Great's new manga
red hair, looks a bit like Dora
sword
some edge
This is getting serialized next year.
...I think I understand now why the mangaka uses white backgrounds.
What is BB being console warred against?
all shit
D:
I can already its anime flop. This wont even reach Girlsbandcry popularity
Remind me, why is this guy allowed to spam but any post that calls him out is instantly deleted?
probably has a pass
probably gets passed around
KILL YOURSELF
>despite having 0 attention before volume 1 sales hit
I keep going back to replying WW's anime opening. It's just so fucking cute
You win this time, YOASOBI
What's with the deleted posts?
all series in jump
I actually like their song. It's hard to explain but Lilas' voice works better with cute mellow songs than trying to sound like an edgy girlboss
It's a very solid opening. If not, one of the best WSJ anime openings
WATCH roboco's movie April 18th
IP ban. Looks like the brazil spammer is a centuriafag because his posts in the centuria thread got nuked at the same time.
this guy keeps getting banned and falseflagging
Deleted
WON
despite having 0 attention before volume 1 sales hit
the Cover at Chapter 15
dead general
CUTE general
why is this guy allowed to spam
He isn't.
WINNING non general
actually got banned for racism after reporting everyone who insulted him
NICE
nice indeed
The new viking boy looks so rapeable, even more than Yodaka during his first chapters.
clapclapclap
shotacon here, I wouldn't rape him even if he asked for it
spammer gets banned
thread is a ghost town
Goes to show who's even forcing it to stay up
Our WINNERS
Add this retarded leech thread was on its way to pg 10
whats oh great new manga called
Do you think Kiyoshi will go beyond 1st anniversary? It's known that there is a wall for battle manga that it's either ends in a year or less or goes for way longer.
Why is a manga on obvious axe notice ranked 15th?
Looks cute. Hopefully he can break the Matsui curse.
Looks similar with Red Hood MC
JP seems to think that this weeks' oneshot has the highest chance of serialization.
Good taste
thanks man motivates me to vote too
raws doko
Opinions as bad as the Xitter art
Looks like Doron 2.0 to me
Could Sydcraft end soon after that chapter?
Implying that we read it
demon hunting shonen but the tone whips between tragedy and gag faces
Doron, Kiyoshi, now this. It's a subgenre atp and probably why these sort of manga keep failing.
It's a subgenre atp and probably why these sort of manga keep failing.
But they all have so much SOVL
Witch Watch's anime thread is surprisingly active.
Definitely way more alive than Sakamoto/BB anime threads when they were alive
It's because they are bad balancing between the three. That oneshot shove in the three consecutively instead of focusing on one and using the other two as steps.
I was surprised too. But I do think the new episode is way better
Blue Box anime threads were only active if there was Hina focus. Chinatsu is at her worst in the beginning (read: boring)
Chinatsu is at her worst in the beginning (read: boring)
She is still boring
Spotted the Hinafag
Nigga, he was working for him, both of them are into shota MC.
Sakabros...
He looks too much like chilchuck
nah, red hood mc sidetail made him cuter
yeah he needs bigger thighs and an ahoge sprout. possibly lighter hair would make him more likeable
I know, that's what I'm talking about. Manga from Matsui's assistants always flop. I assume he's siphoning their life force for his own series. Takauji is his confession.
Slop. Just serialize Signal All Red already.
its the editors job to guide the author on how to balance them
but all the editors suck now apparently
Am I getting this correctly? Selling 10k would be okay for a rookie if low, but if it's a veteran like Tsutsui that's terrible? So if Syd sold 10k but wasn't made by a veteran it could have actually had a chance? Or is it being made by Tsutsui that ensures its survival at 10k?
the tone whips between tragedy and gag faces
probably why these sort of manga keep failing
Nigga have you ever read one chapter of One Piece? Its basically what you said dialed to 100 for a thousand chapters and its basically the holy grail of Japanese manga and the biggest of all time
Name five succesful One Piece clones in the last five years
He looks too much like [the most rapeable character in Dungeon Meshi]
Does it matter? You said the issue was the tonal shift but its clearly not if One Piece is the de facto biggest manga out there and its basically the OG tonal shift manga that iy borders on the extreme sometimes, these days its the biggest even outside of Japan so clearly thats not the reason why these mangas you mentioned earlier are failing, its likely something else
UU won in my heart.
It does since One Piece is blatantly carried by sunk cost readers
ears too big
I dont give a fuck about your personal take on the manga, its just a fact that tonal shift is clearly not the issue with the aforementioned mangas and you're just making sweeping generalizations because of your personal biases. The tonal shift is definitely not the issue
That's not my personal take, it's just the facts. You can't name a single One Piece inspired manga recently that has done well so it says all I need to know
Or maybe said manga just dont have interesting characters, story, lore, adventure elements, character interactions etc etc, nah fuck all of that, its the tonal shift lmao
Right because one piece had all of that out of the gate, keep coping shitter
This dude is hate elusive so much lol
twitterniggers wanted the series dead since 2021, not really news
Summary?
The series is garbage and much step down from author's previous work
He hasn't read those either
Multiple girls is trying too hard
Granted he is royalty so it's kind of hard to avoid that sort of degeneracy
PLEASE TALK ABOUT BITCH BATCH I BEG YOU!!!!!!!!
Fuck you
Why isn't marcille in the picture?
Everyone else in his bloodline is dead.
Literally Bleach
he's also their lord
Someone dump and translate
it's One Piece!
no it's Bleach!
Pick a lane
It's not original
it looks like both
A disastrous combo
So we're getting 2 series this arc?
Arc?
The cover is the page where Ichi is railing mugi.
Lol.
everything is an arc
shitters saying cygames would make bad anime
Uma Musume and Apocolypse Hotel come out and look great
I need the KGB anime announcement already
I meant batch sorry.

A bunch of series heading towards their end within the next 2 years
KGB
Fuck
Our FILMMAKERS
Catastrophic actually
Bitch Batch still in the gutter
Tell me it ain't so!!
bigger thighs
Shotas aren't supposed to have big thighs. Even Tokiyuki only got his meaty thigs when he was around 16yo.
He's been banned hundreds of times, he'll be back
Because Marcille is a slut that enjoys being molested, therefore she can't be raped.
Sunday a whole week in
only Vols 1-2 ranking super low
Waste of money.
Remind me when was Astro released? I feel like it was getting close to it's anniversary but I might be wrong
It's a year old this week
Now that's a sad way to celebrate it
kgb is far behind blue box and sd
Frontloadbachi
It's the only reason it's even survived, when you poach you need to give some guarantees.
It's turning a year old in a few days actually.
Well, at least you can say it didn't overstay it's welcome
No shounen manga is.
?
Any other shonen series like world trigger retard kun?
Every yokai slayer manga ever
Just replace japanese coat of paint with a gay sci-fi coat of paint
shuddup let a man fantasize
You know, even if Beethoven ranked slightly better, pushing female characters is usually a very bad sign for a WSJ manga unless it's a romcom/haren from the start. (but those usually increase ecchi content)
Do you think Ashihara came up with World Trigger out of thin air?
Not one example provided, also they don't fight yokai or paranormal shit like that, but good try
He was inspired by e-sports and Microsoft excel
Anons, is the theory that Nue doesn't have much fans outside of people who post about it online seems to be plausible?
Because seems that it was the case with UU.
Do you think aliens aren't considered paranormal?
NTA but objectively aliens are not paranormal or supernatural, no
We're talking about World Trigger.

What happened? The nigewaka thread also died after an hour and a half with 73 posts.
Akanebanashi is always heavily frontloaded, it sells significantly better the first week than the other three. The only issue is WW will be able to catch up. I still think it will.
easily the most toothless love triangle i've ever read. i'll never get the appeal of this crap
That artstyle is already 10x better and more crisp than Doron and Kiyoshi.
I don't like how the mangaka uses gradients.
The aliens are just sci-fi yokai retard
There's even a generic organization called BORDER kek
They're nothing like yokai at all. The actual aliens are just people. And what most people think are neighbors are just the robot soldiers. It's a sports and spreadsheet manga with a little bit of war on the side.
Not any different from sapient demons, it's just yokai shit with a sci-fi paint
You don't need to be pretentious about it
Do people even care about it?
Nue thread: died with 130 posts
It was kind of shit, since they returned from the Fujino estate added yet another girl crazy about Gakuro.
Syd Craft thread: died with 90 posts
22i added a little sister type character, solidified it as a harem and kind off established a way for the series to end.

main bad guy showed up again

it actually started some Hima-Ten teasing

all of these could just end at any point and nobody would notice

people hate gag manga
Kill Blue: wasn't dumped
Astro: wasn't dumped
can't die fast enough
kind off established a way for the series to end.
What do you mean?
Does anyone have the image that says "Save Astro Royale"?
people started to fight again and it's a flashback
It feels like Suzuki is desperately trying to cling onto anything he can character wise, when the magazine up until the animes release was basically all people fight
Hell I think like less than 2 months after the sword saints 200k kills were revealed, he had Slur be "responsible" for *3*00k kills
when the magazine
When the Manga*
Hell I think like less than 2 months after the sword saints 200k kills were revealed, he had Slur be "responsible" for *3*00k kills
Reminds me of when the big 3 had their villains use a big meteor summoning move around the same time
It seems that some people on jp side aren't too happy about new Nue arc. Is it really a bit confusing and tedious?
Are you reading Nue?
Maybe axed in June, they'll find out about vol 3 sales in May.
I think within 2 years there's a solid chance KGB is the 3rd oldest series in the magazine, which is crazy to think about
doesnt know how time works
aren't too happy about new Nue arc
Pretty much the same thing happened here, with its thread activity becoming much less active.
Anon do you see any series older than KGB, excluding Me & Roboco and One Piece, lasting another 100 chapters
Is it really a bit confusing and tedious?
It's spamming new characters all the fucking time lately, established characters don't have enough screentime and it's galloping towards the end game, but at the same time wants to ease people with harem shenanigans and fan service.
Akaneschizo? Lost
Feels like he’s rushing multiple things that should have been slowed down. I think he’s wants a big reveal/fight for ch 100.
Akane Banashi,
Kill Blue
it's not as if I like it to happen, but seeing how often it pivots I can imagine the editors letting Fujimaki continue
Sakamoto
even if there isn't enough story to keep it for 100 chapters, they'll keep adding flashabck arcs to pad it the fuck out
these 3 easily
Not really too crazy. Average Jump manga end in 4-5 years. KGB will either be in or approaching its final arc by then.
B tier
KGB will either be in or approaching its final arc by then.
I doubt it
(me)
Even if it's "approaching the final arc" then
With how the story has been going, that'd still probably be another 100 chapters at that point
So seriously, what's more likely to end: Kiyoshi or Syd, and why?
The mangaka is already struggling with the weekly grind. I doubt he wants to continue beyond three more years.
Syd, because Oda won't let Kiyoshill end.
Our
PLEASE PLEEEASE CARE ABOUT SYD
Fuck off
That's why he's cutting corners.
The manga is easily reaching 400 chapters if he wants to, and the way he's writing each arc being bigger and longer I think it can easily reach 300 chapters.
What's that, 4 more years for a total of 6 years?
MONEY MAKERS
twitter.com
Astro Royale is reaching its ultimate climax on the grandest scale possible!! Don’t miss it in the magazine!!
ASStrobros..
I'm investing into Nice Prison with 20 Kagurabachicoins because of its mangaka
For Otr, I'm feeling prudent and will wait for its first chapter
Veteran humiliation ritual is the best thing in WSJ, poaching is just a cherry on top. Embers is next.
Finally, the ultimate win, getting out of this God forsaken magazine.
Sells more than most of the magazine
Still ends first
Why?
regulars keep dropping out, it's mostly just the coomers left
Because it's a fucking garbage, an absolutely boring retarded slop for retards.
It's shit.
I wouldnt be shocked if Kunishige's Journey got its own 7-8 volume flashback arc
Let alone the Seitei War itself
Bleeding sales as a poached mangaka.
get hired to make money
don't make money
contract protection period passes
AXE
this would require kagurabachis pace to slow down
Nah that's spinoff/prequel territory
Anon the arcs are rapidly increasing in size
2 volume arc
3 volume arc
SBA is currently on its 4th volume and it definitely has 2-3 more
Kagurabachi: Kunishige's Kuest
Is anything else unironically in danger among the long runners or just Astro?
It sold because of the author, so he should end it and do something better.
Ya'll think Hima-Ten will last longer, or it will get axe, sooner or later?
Ya'll
It's both fast paced but also setting up a ton of stuff.
Like, this arc will end with the hishaku's win, then there'll probably be flashbacks and don't rule out a part 2 with a timeskip.
Howdy pardner
Enten is shattered by Magatsumi
Timeskip
Japan is split into 10 provinces, each run by a different Hishaku member
Chihiro needs to go on a journey similar to one his father did before him, freeing Japan and learning how to master his blacksmithing skill to forge to shattered bits of Enten and Kuregumo together
Soon.
I have the same question. Himaten seems to be selling more with every volume and its ToCs are right in the middle. It's literally an EXISTer. Would that mean it should last at least a year, or could it potentially be axed before even Syd?
Astro was contracted to get high prints and failed to sell most of it
You now also know why Nue and Kill Blue don't get circulation updates, it's far less costly for WSJ to publish so they can justify keeping it at 20-25k sales
If you believe in battle manga 1 year wall: Kiyoshi.
Japanese reactions? Syd, because they don't care about the cast and don't want to read mystery and harem at the same time.
Enten and Kuregumo together
Do you want sojo to look up and just fap like crazy for the whole second half of the manga?
Japanese reactions
What do you mean by Japanese reactions? You mean comments on social media, 5ch, etc. and Jump+, or the lack thereof?
Wait, no, ALL the other blades are shattered by magatsumi and Chihiro needs to collect the pieces and learn to forge them all together into 1 sword
all together into 1 sword
the... KAGURABACHI
brazilian apes woke up
I'm out
1. They most likely pay Wakui as much as high established WSJ veteran, maybe even more;
2. Vol 1 had a big print but probably failed to sell even a half;
3. The sales drop from TR to Astro is huge which means that only a small fraction of TR also read and bought Astro.
4. The plot is unsalvageable clusterfuck. It also starts like Tokyo Revengers for 11 years old yet Wakui moves to his usual stuff and you have things like forced drugging and highly implied rape, also gimps in the following arc. Plus the whole YAKUZA GOOD thing.
5. Ichi's success also makes Astro look much much worse.
It will reach 60-70 chapters and gets an anime.
He deserves it after the shit he pulled with Tokyo Revengers
It will be called seven heavens
Veterans tend to last longer for their new manga but why was Tenmaku the exception?
Are Amazon jp sale ratings currently frozen?
Bad publicity from people bringing up Act-age.
Veterans tend to last longer for their new manga
Not neccessary, sometimes they are judged more harshly. It's one of the reasons why Doron outlived Ayashimon for a round.
I think it's more have to do with how awful the last arc of Shokugeki ended up being that more or less translates to Tenmaku's early grave
So what about Syd
That's why veterans don't come back and leaving the magazine in this sorry state.
That's unironically a good thing since we know their return ends up in a garbage like squid8 or build king. Asstro is case in point.
Are there many authors with multiple wsj successful series? I can think of Toriyama (Arale and DB) and Togashi (YYH and HxH) off the top of my head.
Kurumada.
22i added a little sister type character,
I can tell you don't read the series because she's from the last chapter.
Dumb answer schizo you can literally look at Jajanken if you really wanted to know
Matsui
Where's your proof?
No, not really. This is why we don't need them coming back. Though I want croc back so I can parade at her corpse.
Does Shinohara count?
comes back
sells a million per volume after volume 2
Imagine.
we know it's you trying a new falseflag tactic
Threads aren't slower, though? The fanart anon just isn't around
It discourages veterans with good ideas from using them, fearing that they'll fail. We're missing out on so many potential next big hits because of this.
It will either be a squid8 or boruto all over again. Either shit sales right off the bat or good sales then a steady decline.
Veterans don't have any good ideas for their return. They bring shit and hope to get a nice piggyback off their former glory.
How to make money
beg Kishimoto to do 3 or 4 Naruto oneshots within a year
release them as separate tankobon
another guaranteed 150k seller release
I think the ideas are actually good, it's how they realized is the problem. Build King is instantly annihilated because of its artstyle. Tenmaku is a borefest compared to Souma. 22i has an opposite problem, Syd relies on Bokuben a bit too much but people don't really want another Bokuben. Especially not the one mixed with detective genre.
Syd relies on Bokuben a bit too much
Does it? Apart from the collab chapter it's just its own thing and has nothing to do with it. Other than having romcom elements they don't really have much in common.
I also don't understand why people think the detective thing is a problem. This is the same country that gave the world Conan and where stuff like Bungou Stray Dogs is popular.
Build King is instantly annihilated because of its artstyle
Artstyle? No, a power system based on a color in bw manga is an idea and it's a retarded one.
You know, I always wondered why veterans often failed. Now that I’m older, I’ve come to dislike manga I liked as a kid. Growing up changes how you think and what you enjoy.
The real reason veterans fail is because they become disconnected from their main audience, they don't know what the readers are supposed to like.
Bungou Stray Dogs
is not a detective, just something with detective aesthetic and it also has like 90% female fanbase.
Veterans don't have any good ideas for their return
This. I suspect the reason so many veterans fail is because long serializations cause them to burn through all of their good ideas, leaving them with nothing good for when they return for a new series.
People thought Build King was ugly before the power system was introduced
Not true
First of all, this isn't true. Second, I'm talking about the board. I also saw a MiA thread that was archived with the last post less than 40 minutes prior. What was going on midday yesterday to cause threads to die so quickly?
Build King was considered ugly as sin ever since the preview the week before it actually released.
Does TES count as a success? AssClass sold more if I remember correctly?
It's just an exister. Could have been worse but it really has taught the drones a lesson.
Jump considers it one
What are you trying to achieve by rewriting history? I remember and you can check the archives that when it came out people talked about how manly it looked.
I have a feeling that Shueisha will have to reverse their recent policy on manga longevity and will end up begging the mangaka to keep drawing Blue Box and Sakamoto for at least a year more.
They are not, nice try
Chii-chan is literally leaving the Inomata home
last another year
It's not like they're ending. BB can bullshit a college arc long-distance relationship and Sakadays can just people fight into oblivion (which might actually be better than trying to write plot).
Kyoshi seems to have someone within the magazine wanting to shill it.
But to me at least, it seems like it's Syd they were shilling. They even made a Bokuben special chapter to promote it, after all.
sapient demons
They are clearly different, the demons have magical or supernatural origin while the neighbors are just humans from another dimension, they use technology instead of magic to fight the main cast
I don't know about the sales but a 200 chapter series with a well-recieved anime should count as a success.
BB can bullshit a college arc long-distance relationship
sure and I think I'd like to see that, but that wouldn't be blue box anymore,
Sakadays can just people fight into oblivion
I love how the manga became the meme
that wouldn't be blue box anymore
The manga has spent chapters on side-characters' drama why would the continuation of ML and FL's love story be less Blue Box than that
Just call it blue box shippuden and continue as normal lol
People were shitting on We Never Learn back then too
Yeah, Kiyoshi's editor.
But again, they could be using it just to fill that battle shounen void left by several series ending. They will axe it when there will be another potentially big battle shounen on horizon. Ichi isn't one.
The writer is flexible and experienced enough to turn Ichi into whatever genre she wants to. Adventure fits it better.
But the current action manga (which you call battle shonen) hit is Kagurabachi.
but it wouldn't be in the box anymore, I bet you they'll speedrun to the next nationals at some point.
manly
More like goblinly
whatever genre she wants to.
It absolutely sucks as an action manga though.
Yakuza... good?
No?
Yakuza BAD!
Makes the colors actually match and that's all I want from the anime design wise.
Because it's not an action manga. There is a good action manga in WSJ which is KGB and 0 good adventure manga which aren't Ichi.
They probably want to have at least one fighting manga lighter and more kid friendly than Kagurabachi.
which aren't Ichi
Op.
The weird thing that I don't remember Tokyo Revengers being yakuza good. If anything it was the opposite.
I always feel it gets shafted for aiming towards the upper end of jump's supposed target demo
Yakuza... bad?
No?
Yakuza GOOD!
That was DELINQUENTS GOOD
ASStro saying not to interfere with the yakuza or else your parents might kill themselves was where it started losing me.
Kill Blue
Chojo
Shinobi
Syd
Among these, which are most likely to survive and why?
Shinobi, for now
When is the next group cover? I need to see our WINNERS this instant!
Why? How are the others less safe?
kill blue
Likely natural end soon
chojo
New gag manga will replace it
Syd
lol
What about roboco? I hope the new gag Manga replaces it
Japan has no kids nowadays so that's actually where the majority is
lol
By this you mean it's ending before the year is over, or that it's actually safe because they're gonna protect it?
AssClass is his second manga. Neuro was his first work, lasted 202 chapters and sold over 4.4 million copies. EluSam has very similar numbers (199 chapters and 4.5 million copies sold).
KB (survives through sheer nepotism until Shinobi surpasses it in sales and it becames impossible to defend, or until the contract expires) > Shinobi (best "newbie" after Ichi and its sales keep rising, but they do it very slowly and the manga is still in sub-20k numbers) > Syd (vol 1 is positioned to sell like trash, but the author should have veteran protection for one year, enough to make the manga improve in sales) > Chojo (second worst seller only after Kiyoshi, but as a gag manga it gets judged in a relatively lax way)
When THE FUCK is Tatsu just going to do a Gundam Manga? He clearly loves the franchise and it shows
Gundam
lmao the next Gundam is gonna be by the Citrus mangaka
Chojo has somewhat stong early TOC, can't be compared to syd
holy shit, ANOTHER YURI GUNDAM?
This thread is shit
This thread is a WINNER me thinks
filename
Kill yourself
Most boring WSJ heroine. Bar none
How about you WIN yourself?
I don't give a shit
She's the average Japanese girl
eye contact w/teenage girl simulator
Nakano LOST
holy shit I can't believe chinatsu browses Anon Babble
hit is Kagurabachi
It's crazy how bad they want the anime announcement already, seen a couple coping about it getting the LCP for the group cover and announcing the anime through that
And it's not going to happen until winter the earliest.
You need SOMETHING to show when you get an anime announcement.
Nah it should happen before August (volume 8)
It's leaked crazy early. But I don't expect an official announcement soon, they need to announce Akanebanashilled soon, it has twice as many chapters as Kagurabachi.
Akane and KGB for 2026.
Kb and nue are also there I guess.
It's leaked crazy early
"Guys we know you don't give a shit about the other series', here take this *leak* and please keep supporting the magazine"
Not a lot of other series worth giving a shit to begin with. OP? Ichi? That's it.
ok
You can almost see Suzuki breaking between the anime release and KGBs big explosion as the hit battle shonen
I'm more perplexed over the fact that there are people out there who liked Asstro and who are sad it's getting axed.
Not him and dont fag anyone in blue box but every character is boring except maybe chinatsu's short haired basketball friend rival and her boyfriend who wants her to wear thighhighs.
sakamoto anime flopped due to QUALITY
witch watch anime flopping due to large backlog
akane anime taking forever and will flop as a result
kagurabachi anime given to gachashit studio and will either be massive hit or generational flop
nue and kill blue have lasted long enough to probably have anime in the works too despite being assured flops
verdict is still out on ichi but it probably has the best shot at a good studio thanks to veteran pull, but even that wont matter if they take forever with it
the magazine right now fucking sucks
Astro is like an antithesis of the kind of manga I want from Wakui.
kagurabachi anime given to gachashit studio and will either be massive hit or generational flop
The other series they are doing look great
Midwit
you are shit
PLEASE TALK ABOUT OUR WINNERS
I have this weird feeling that Nue doesn't have anime in works while Kill Blue does but they are unsure how to proceed because of UU anime being a total flop and KB's ever descending popularity.
what arc are we on?
The
oh god there's really only 3 series worth a damn
Arc
Ichi
Our WINNERS
Checks out
Blue Box
Before Ichi there were just two.
>witch watch anime flopping due to large backlog
That's becasue it's unpopular and boring.
has the best shot at a good studio thanks to veteran pull
They give it to Iruma's studio and it comes out super flat.
She's the average Japanese girl
Hell no, Hina is the average japanese girl
Chinatsu is boring as all hell
Strikeout Pitch has some good shota.
Disgusting design.
the art is so ugly
You guys seems so miserable. No wonder new manga never get the chance to thrive if that's the attitude
deleted
what did janny mean by this
but our WINNERS are thriving though
Guess who was the schizo who posted it?
Battle shounen is far by the one that defines the magazine and are the most popular
Somehow, the recent EiCs decide to not have more of them.
It's practically a miracle KGB even survived that initial phase
I don't mind the variety we have now but you get what I mean
most recent shonens dont sell shit
Maybe there's none to serialize?
There's still no successful sports series, when fujosports is the other staple of the magazine.
no they don't
tfw Jump still has to rely on Haikyuu to milk every possible content left because there's no new sports series for them to adapt
Mind you, Haikyuu is very old at this point and Kuroko has all of its content animated.
ban evading
It's very counterintuitive when Jump's frontrunners are still battle shonen. No one wants to see Chinatsu's boring ass next to Luffy or Naruto
Sadly she's just after luffy in physical and after sakamoto in overall circulation.
So she kinda has to.
seems only way for a battle shonen to have footing is if its made by a vet like Ichi AND its not hated due to his past works like Astro
Samurai 8 had some footing on chapter 1 but it was so shit on every aspect it made negative money
Imagine developing a new Jump fighting game but then you realize there's hardly anyone from the 2020s that could get in.
Or maybe they can pull a Jump Vs and put in Chihiro like how Saiki got in the game without having an anime
I know this is a bait post but it's right aside from the cygames thing. The most important thing for kgb is to get a non-overworked studio and proper budget and good direction choice. Cygames is more than competent enough.
It was a mistake for wsj to have MHA and JJK end pretty much beside each other.
add Ruri as a joke character, the joke being she is incredibly complex but actually good, like Phoenix Wright
To be fair, there were a lot of failed shounen manga hat weren't given a chance back in the old days. You just don't know that.
Hell, Psyren was an example of that because it couldn't meet the standards of their lineup
They could also try to be good, but I guess that's too much.
Every single battle shonen starts with short, meandering arcs to introduce side cast and whatever then it's already too late and no one really gives a shit.
it couldn't meet the standards of their lineup
It was both dropping in sales and the story went to super shit with the constant timefuckery undoing potentially interesting plot threads.
They could also try to be good
name 1
I don't mind the variety we have now but you get what I mean
Nah, I get it
Look at the ones with a mostly positive reception on their anime
SoL "Sports" Romance
Historical Period
Shoujo Romance
And the ones with a bad reception
Both Battle Shounens with high expectations from the higher ups (UU) and from the fans (Sakamoto)
The later two aren't really translating into sales, TES saw like a 10k bump in general and WW's backlog is still non existent because the only thing people ever talked about was the op and it's no idol.

Does this mean anything nowadays with digital becoming more commonplace? It's not like DDD and Frieren were hitting a million
Sometimes I feel like the standards are getting lower each year. If this was the 2000s, all the current lineup but One Piece would get axed
Kill Blue still living is proof of that standard. It somehow manages to avoid the axe every single round
all the current lineup but One Piece would get axed
this is such a shit argument for the fact that most of the lineup would be selling more if they had been released in the early 2000s. times were different.
Well, shonen intended demographic is declining in Japan and manga isn't a commodity, especially now with their economy, despite being cheap. On top, some people may rather buy chapters or read for free on a weekly basis than waiting for the volumes.
If we paid attention to circulation which includes digital
SD is pushing almost 400k (SURE IT IS)
BB over 300k
kgb and ruri over 250k
Which wouldn't look that bad but no one can be sure of how big digital is.
This. Post covid sales is a thing. More digital now than ever. I can read all the manga i want on my phone for line 2 bucks a month.
I still believe Nue survives on digital rather than physical
If it did we'd have some circulation by now.
9 volumes later, still nothing
circulation also includes non sold volumes
There's at least a few people but not so much
Andy/Fuuko
Mash
Tokiyuki
And technically, Denji can still join but not Asa
andy flopped hard, he isnt welcome
Exactly, but I still lowballed it.
Their per volume circulations are
410k
368k
320k
283k
Save for SD, I can almost believe they are doing somewhere around 50-100k less per volume digital included.
Sakamoto would need to do like 2/3 of its sales on digital alone just to get anywhere close to that number.
Would Jump+ be allowed? Turbo granny okarun
Onepiece would yeah be 100% axed. Still waiting on a series to do a female luffy protagonist right.
I bet it was roach again.
Idk which manga gets to have a big impact with it's anime
Fucking Kaiju no 8 got a Fortnite Collab when the series' popularity is only at Japan.
TES does better digitally
K8 is still popular in its own right. Just very overhated
overhated
No, it's hated the right amount, it's just shit and there's a reason its sales dropped like a fucking rock.
See also, csm part 2
Now try saying it again without using buzzwords
BB over 300k
kgb and ruri over 250k
Anon KGB is over 300k
jump games are WSJ series only unless stated otherwise
Enjoyed BB
Enjoying WW
Enjoyed Mashle
Enjoyed Elusive
Found UU okay
Hated Sakamoto
Anime only here btw
Looks like my list except I didn't watch Elusive since trap looking MCs are like a complete no for me
I skipped out on UU/Mashle/Sakamoto/Elusive/Yozakura.
Only watched BB and WW there. I think my tastes are changing
Blue Box is the best WSJ manga
After our WINNERS
kill yourself akaneschizo
How much is K8 selling now? I think its still better than everything in magazine.
Don't know why it's overhated
buzzwords
Now learn the meaning of the word buzzword.
how we should advertise our manga about baseball?
I know, draw the guy that looks like a little boy wearing short shorts and showing his butt to the public
It's not overhated, stop misusing the word
Sakabros...
Like 300k I think? It mogs for sure all wsj series except for OP
not even over its pre-anime peak
grim
The less you give up on your eternal hateboner for a manga you don't even like. The better
It doesn't mog Based Box
If we follow the pattern of Jump's lesser popular titles getting the better anime
Don't blame me if Akane becomes a FotM waifu with people trying to watch a show with a topic only Japanese can understand and enjoy
Wasn't the original anon, I don't ever think of the manga enough to really hate on it
Some really neurotic people here always confuse impassivity for hate
If Anon Babble can enjoy Joshiraku, so can Akane
*FotY
Shit taste, all of you. Also the author is based and the manga is selling well.
I like Chihayafuru. I can enjoy Akane's series
O MY POTENTIAL

Rumours say TMS gave priority to Dr Stone instead of Sakamoto
2nd cour of Science Future is airing alongside Sakamoto's second cour
Not the brightest idea, huh?
with a topic only Japanese can understand and enjoy
you're retarded if you can't pick up the gist of things just from reading akane.
a show with a topic only Japanese can understand and enjoy
Monologues and oratory have been a thing of western culture for centuries now. Besides, if people gonna tune-in is because they will relate or be interested to Akane's story and struggle, not due to the theatrical part; which isn't hard to understand or grasp either.
TMS gave priority to Dr Stone instead of Sakamoto
As they should. They can focus on the next "people fight" anime when they're done with some real substance.
Anon why do you think the sales got hardstuck at 40k? The rakugo is clearly a filtering element even for japanese readers.
Akane is just a way for Shueisha to ask for tax exemptions due to "promoting japanese culture"
Kagurabachi needs more rapebait
Makes money for the company
Saves money for the company
What a WINNER
I actually like Shoma. He was made to be comforted after being bullied by somebody else.
why is the schizo still doing KGB threads
why is the schizo still
Mindbroken.
Pretty sure it’s the same guy that did cacapopo.
The shota is too ugly yet too girly but not enough to pass as a trap. The Days of Diamond is the better baseball manga and Beast Orange has a cuter shota.
Rakugo is just people talking with a funny accent, right
Can't be too different from stand up comedy for overseas audience or japanese zoomers
ichi the BITCH thread died in less than 300 posts
AGAIN
lol
Ichi
battle shonen
lmao
Ichi is floundering though and is dogshit.
120k soon
above Ruri
lmao let's see Saito shill it to high heavens
Dr stone is 80% talking, Sakamoto requires 3 mappa sized teams to adapt faithfully
weekly series grows faster than a biweekly series
woah
its hard work being every single poster in all /wsj/ threads
implying it has anything to use for growth
What is there in Ichi right now for people to latch on that's gonna make it beat Ruri? Nothing.
It's all mangaka names and Saito shilling.
antiworld cover
So Kei Kamiki just fucked off from the world of manga and was never seen again?
He published a new chapter of Magu for study jump last year, he'll probably come back to jump at some point
I know, but it's weird that it's only that and the salamander oneshot.
Threads can't even hti 400 KWAB. Shit is DOA.
a new chapter of Magu
who?
ah yes, because threads on Anon Babble dictate sales in japan
How much has vol 2 of ichi sold so far?
What happened to manly and Hadassah protags like kenshiro? Why is it all just femboys and cucks now? Is hokazono to blame?
get new bait
Is hokazono to blame?
maybe

Fire Ball! - Chapter 1, first draft.
My email is at the top, or just find me in next week's DDD thread.
Hadassah
explain yourself, mudslime
Hide, filter and ignore, do not feed the retarded tourist shitter.
I liked GGG even if it was Sakamoto but senile.
Thanks anon, I gave it a quick read and wew. I'll work on it as soon as I can and will contact if something happens.
I thought it was ok, it felt like a one shot and the art is a bit weird.
KGB? Lost.
I missed you faggots
Hitsugi's mom looks even more like Kouta Hirano's character than him.
toc for issue #22 #23

2nd anniversary
No LCP
Nuekeks fucking LOST
Now THIS is a high quality thread.
missed astro axe
missed nue getting cucked out of an anniversary cover just like kb despite muh anime japan
Sad week.
Also the group cover, if you can even call it that, was a steaming pile of shit.
The group cover feels like the most 'most of you don't actually matter' kind of cover.
