Axe Kiyoshill already
roboco too
This art is just blatant kek
anon discovers what a tribute is
Suzuki won't fuck you bro
He is right, you are just seething for some reasons
13. Kagurabachi #7
Declinebachi...
3rd week
Usually it's hovering around the 30-40 mark, but you guys never cared about the actual facts
It seems that Roboco started declining even harder after the movie.
Hori drawing Goku or Naruto is tribute.
Sakamoto is just bar for bar a try for another Gintama even the anime uses Sugita.
KGB BROS NOT AGAIN
shitter still resorting to making stuff up to attempt to shit on KGB
Take your meds, anon. Sorachi has no qualms with Suzuki.
Ruri Dragon? Same shit every week
The winner of the 2022 GFC just deleted everything but this x.com
So a serialization should be soon, and even more so because Blue Box is ending and Himaten isnt doing well enough to be a substitute
However this won because it was published on the issue HxH came back, the highest selling issue in a while x.com
So if everything goes well it will be a 30k seller at best
gets awarded for its setting
and everyone loves it
2!
Elusam seems to be back under 50k again
There's still another week until 4 weeks and yet another week for a full month
Hayashi gets serialized before the winner
Are GFC winners actually picked based on popularity? I don't get that impression given the winner's tendency to crash upon serialization
OtR of Flames? A future King
Winners aren't forced to automatically start a series
It better be worth it after how long he's been grinding.
Winning then starting a series three-four years later seems like a terrible idea
People vote for them on the issue iirc
The one with Sezaki was the most sold one so it got a shit ton of votes
and the serialization comes whenever they are ready/want
Neon vampire did an one shot in J+
Life liar from hell is doing beethoven
The one with Sezaki was the most sold one so it got a shit ton of votes
That's not how the voting system works.
It worked for Ruri
How how long do you think will Blue Box last? The only thing I'm sure about that Sakamoto will last longer.
Ruri was about two years after its one shot and there was a vomic in between that which blew up. It's been mostly silent for the 2022 GFC winner and the wait is over three years.
no one would buy the ones before so they never read them, so Sezaki would get more votes simply by probability
2
shows 8
Why would Gorilla have any qualms. He was parodying shit himself.
There's just no reason to read nor watch Sakamoto despite the different spin on the Yorozuya trio. The appeal/homage to Gintama fans just fall flat. It's not like Shinpachi/Shin is better, nor Sakamoto/Sakata Gintoki, nor Kagura/Lu (if she was even allowed to be a character in the first place). You can consume Gintama and get everything Sakamoto offers plus much more, which is ironic.
It's unlike Dragon Ball and Journey to the West, or something like Evangelion into Darling in the Franxx into Make Heroine ga Oosugiru.
November/December
how old was he?
maybe he was in highschool when he submitted the work
However this won because it was published on the issue HxH came back, the highest selling issue in a while x.com
So if everything goes well it will be a 30k seller at best
Didn't help seiji tanaka whose one shot was in final chapter of kochikame and then went to be lowest selling jump series
Hyping up a gfc winner like it wont get axed.
nakano's ghost will save it
10k sellers get to live now
t-this time it will be different for sure!
The most fascinating thing about its stagnation is copium kgbfags make up to justify it.
Unironically yeah, Kiyoshi sales are good enough to live

Years where they won the GFC but did not succeed:
Takaya: Otonari-san Panic!! (2004),
Over Time (2005),
Mysterious Story Ikkyu Hanasaka (2010),
Devily Man (2014),
Seiji Tanaka (2016),
Phantom Seer (2018),
The Hunters Guild: Red Hood (2020),
Fabricant 100 (2021)
Every one of these series ended in 5 volumes or less, most around 2-3.
Years where they won the GFC and did succeed:
Nura Rise of the Yokai Clan (2007),
Beelzebub (2008),
Ruri Dragon (2017)
Initial failures that led to successes:
Hungry Joker (2011)-> Black Clover
(2015),
Demon Prince Poro's Diaries (2015)-> Mission; Yozakura Family (2019)
And then Beelzebub's new series, Dolphin Cop got axed (it would totally live nowadays)
Do Shueisha count Numa as a veteran? Samon was 10 volumes long, had a pretty dedicated fanbase but got axed.
Phantom Seer (2018),
He got sabotaged it doesn't count
GFC losers that went on to succeed
Successful series: Muhyo and Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigations (2004, directly followed), Demon Slayer (2014), Akane-banashi artist (2015), Jujutsu Kaisen (2016, led to JJK), Marriage Toxin (2016)
Unironically, a lot of WSJ series got art from other famous mangaka, but only Kgb didn't get anything from someone popular
Tamura is doing tons better on Cosmos now. It's all parts of life.

Successful series:
Muhyo and Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigations (2004, directly followed),

How much did each 1st volume sold in a month? Did they at least sell over 10k aka the new standard?
everything has stagnated or declined
They should have kept CSM. It would have been better for everyone. Fujimoto would have a whip to keep him working, and the magazine would have another manga that sells well besides OP.

Kubo voted it for the lol
Bad genre combination. Haremsfags don't care about the mystery part, mysteries are too bland for mysteryfags and a bunch of them are filtered by Syd being a harem. Setting is mostly beloved by women in Japan, but not men yet women won't touch it because it's a harem. Characters aren't very liked.

You know, considering how popular seem to be Roboco's chapters about manga, Roboco's successor manga probably needs to be a gag version of Bakuman.
This thing is useless until 1-2 days before the release.
I'd rather have a gag manga that has heart and soul like sachi's records
Kill Blue isn't very popular on Amazon for some reason.
I remember sydfags cope like this before
Yep
Anon, who the fuck pre-orders a digital book
Damn...
I miss MHA…
I think he should do bi weekly in jump+ for his new manga
Your pathetic shitposting aside, I feel the KGB last arc has been going for too long. I feel it could have been reduced and maybe broken up in smaller arcs maybe with previous characters appearing.
Dandadan begun declining due to, among other things (e.g. love triangles people hate), arcs getting longer too soon
Why are you lying? That's not correct at all.
maybe broken up in smaller arcs
It's already broken up in small arcs and it shifted focus to different characters.
It's just a long ass arc, because it's important.
Hori just needs a good writer. As an artist he has always been great, incredibly lacking in choreography, but still
Nah, unless he pairs up with fucking ONE. I prefer it to be another Solo work.
It's already broken up in small arcs and it shifted focus to different characters.
Eh, it's shifting focus for real only now. What I mean by smaller arcs is treating this whole arc as a overreaching plot point while doing important side quests.
It's just a long ass arc, because it's important.
Yeah, but maybe it should have come a little later if the intention was to make it this long.
Gachiakuta also had the problem of making a long ass arc early on
Doing 30k in current jump gives you pillar status
He sucks at writing though. All he has going on for him are emotional moments and he overuses them to the point of making them useless.
muh short arc
Man, there's a reason there's no memorable modern shonen arc aside from the shibuya arc in jjk.
Don't care. I want him to bring all the bad and good with him.
good
?
shifting focus for real only now.
There was a clear focus shift after Samura killed Uruha
Dropped Hakuri, introduced and focused A LOT on Iori and Samura. It's clearly different from the first volume and so of the arc.
while doing important side quests.
The issue is that there aren't important side quests to do.
I honestly like these long spanning arcs, bleach started the SS arc basically by chapter 50 with Renji appearing.
Only Hori could write something like Deku’s and Bakugou’s relationship. I’m ok with his writing.
It is definitely different, but again, the focus is shifting form Iori and Samura to other characters only now. I feel it would have been better to go back and forth from them to say Hakuri&Co (Samura's bodyguards)
The issue is that there aren't important side quests to do.
I don't see why couldn't make them. Shit is starting even now so there were other important things going on to focus on
I honestly like these long spanning arcs, bleach started the SS arc basically by chapter 50 with Renji appearing.
In a fast paced story like KGB I don't, but my whole point was mainly addressing the relatively stale sales
This arc is basically the final prologue mission before we go to the open world choose your own adventure to hunt down the Hishaku / Aligned blade wielders
Bakugou's girlfriend
Ok fujo
relatively stale sales
Oh so you're just shitposting
I’m being serious and sincere!
the relatively stale sales
It just reached its peak pre anime probably?
It's normal.
fast paced story
Definitely shitposting
The story has been slow as hell since the hallway
Could modern audiences handle Namek if it came out today?
Could be, but with WSJ having no new hits besides KGB and Ichi and open competition for the future battle shonen mega hit I'm inclined to think the current arc is just not that appreciated
current arc is just not that appreciated
Anon it's literally by far and away the most popular arc in nipland
One piece would be axed if it came out today. It took it a lot to reach the redline
I heard that next week's Ichi chapter will just be 20 pages of Ichi getting railed in the ass by Gokuraku
Is it now?
Yes, what?
Can confirm.
How do you know? What metrics are you using?
It's when the series blew up with the public
Jump in digital performance from volume 5 to volume 6 and then volume 7 was fucking massive
Its characters get by far the most fan art outside literal main protagonists and ongoing events in the manga
>It's when the series blew up with the public
? It blew up form the get go
>Jump in digital performance from volume 5 to volume 6 and then volume 7 was fucking massive
Are these chapters views, digital volume sales or something else?
>Its characters get by far the most fan art outside literal main protagonists and ongoing events in the manga
Leaving fujos aside, this is definitely a good sign
anyone got the other winners?
they cant all be like this
? It blew up form the get go
No, I'm talking about Japan retard, it literally had nothing besides "being kinda popular from the start overseas", which only otaku would've even known about, general public didn't care or know about it until the SBA arc
volume 5 to volume 6 and then volume 7 was fucking massive
Digital sales, which are the biggest indicator we have for "general audience" as physical volumes grow to be "otaku items"
Our
cuckolds
Delusional. The samurai armour the guy is wearing was outside the restaurant when Farmer went back from the Rakuzaichi.
it literally had nothing besides "being kinda popular from the start overseas"
retard
NTA, but this is a blatant lie
Which WSJ manga do you think made a mistake of going into a long arc already?
Anon, your chihiro lust forum doesn't reflect arcs' popularity, sry
Not a single new character except for the one killed at the beginning is genuinely well received in Nipponland.
Tafuku...
Not a single new character except for the one killed at the beginning is genuinely well received in Nipponland.
Actual fucking blatant lie or you only listen to 5ch shitposters
it literally had nothing besides "being kinda popular from the start overseas", which only otaku would've even known about
No. It had good sales from the get go. It had to be reprinted multiple times and grew a lot with each volume
Digital sales, which are the biggest indicator we have for "general audience"
The best indicators are chapter views, but digital volumes selling well is definitely a factor, though physical sales are still massively important
KGB
Why is Hiyuki so fucking ugly?
Otr
I think KHR had a case where the "long arc" essentially lasted like 80% of the manga's lifetime. By comparison, you have less time to complete the rest of its arcs than you can with the Future arc
NTA, but no he's not lying.
Current day WSJ outside the obvious big hitters which just ended last year and OP are definitely niche items only WSJ fans and some bigger manga fans know at the moment.
You can look up Sakamoto, BB, KGB our 100k+ group outside WSJ circles and barely anyone Japanese cares. No Japanese YT shitposting/reviews channels. Amazon review counts are lower triple digits. No Twitter posts/memes regularly getting 5 and more digit likes.
Compare with DDD that just blew up. Or Bocchi the Rock. You won't see them topping manga sales chart but they're fucking everywhere. Manga sphere is contracting after COVID.
Not sure how I survived future arc back when I was a teenager.
Same with Namek. Shounen was insanely slow back then
I completely forgot about the second chapter
Manga sphere is contracting after COVID
2025 might end with top selling manga only selling 4 M copies
Grim
2 sneaks
NTA, but no he's not lying.
He is. You can literally look at sales data and see it growing with each volume and it's no secret it was underprinted for a while
Compare with DDD that just blew up. Or Bocchi the Rock.
Both had good (Bocchi was great) anime adaptations. Bocchi wasn't on anyone's radar before it and DDD was declining and even now the interest is dwindling again
BB and SD are a problem on their own.
There's a reason they were stuck at 100k with zero growth for most of their run.
SD anime fumbling it doesn't help.
2025 might end with top selling manga only selling 4 M copies
What's even the biggest anime hit so far this year?
They should just announce a Miniso x Ruri collab or something like that
or Hello Kitty x KGB for maximum funny
DDD I guess?
It's doing amazing in digital to cover for its lower-ish physical sales.

Toriko
For some reason I thought it aired in winter not fall.
Medalist I guess? it got a really nice boost in general.
And there's Gundam, obviously.
Spy x Family
SxF basically reached the saturation point now
Growing each volume doesn't mean it's known by the general public. Gokurakugai is also growing each volume but people who know and buy it are all Jump SQ readers. You forgot Japan has 120M+ people.
We're at the point where there's a chasm between people who regularly follow manga and the general public/normalfags who might like manga but don't follow them. It's how you explain stuff like the significant Jump in KGB digital rank just by putting it on street-posters and the huge disparity between BB physical and its digital.
Chainsawman? Btw this is Japan's favourite meme of the month
As far as new ones go
Medalist

Gundam I'm pretty sure. That's still freaking niche too nobody outside Japan cares about it.
Which means we're not getting any manga boost from it. DDD will sell 4 M and that's this year manga market.
It's how you explain stuff like the significant Jump in KGB digital rank
Do you have the figures?
I assume June will start with One Piece and Me & Roboco anniversary covers and then move on to BB and KGB for their volume releases (and anime news)
That's not how it works else you'd have seen Bocchi the Rock selling 200k+ manga volumes fm.
Growing each volume doesn't mean it's known by the general public
Growing with each volume means it has more going on than ""being kinda popular from the start overseas", which only otaku would've even known about"

Funny how the anime was way back in 2013 or so but this scene blew up in 2025
What are you on about? We're finally having a Garden arc.
I was just replying to the anon saying sxf had a long arc too soon. The series itself at this point basically sold everything it could sell and new sales come from the new vols, not the whole series anymore
I look up the Bocchi manga and the anime absolutely carries it. I havent touch it since. And just waiting for s2.
Like K-on, i bet most bocchi fans dont even know its a manga adaptation
I also forgot to mention Kindergarten Wars
Sucks that it's ending soon
I'm still unbelievably angry at Rita not killing the katana guy. It made no fucking sense
Gquack
I think nips like that Girl Band anime too, but don't quote me on that one.
S3 is coming out in October
Like goddamn dude stop being a negative bitch
Aomine roleplaying as someone who really really likes Love Live. Somehow, there's overlap in both fandoms to get the joke
You can look up Amazon right now and check each volume's rank. Compare it with other manga that sells better on physical. New volume 7 also has been on the higher side for weeks.
Of course you wouldn't be able to see the rank history from that and I don't keep the numbers on an excel or shit. You'd probably have to consult Brasil's twitter if he even saved it everyday.
You forgot people who know of KGB pre and post Tsugimanga are still otaku. WSJ 100k+ sellers aren't that well known yet, bro.
I'm not? It's the opposite actually. Sxf sold a fuckton, so people buy only new vol because they already bought the rest. It also didn't do its long arc too soon, it balanced things well
Stop seeing negativity were it's not
We're getting OP cover this week and 29-31 will be most likely reserved for new series. OP should be getting another cover in July.
Is Love Live even alive?
Feels like it's being sidelined and Bamco is all on IM@S games nowadays
I enjoy Witch Watch more than I did with Sakamoto.
FLOPPAmoto bros...
I'm more impressed it could hold up an entire thread of a series that's essentially 70% filler and 30% plot
How successful will the eventual Ruri anime be?
I do as well.
Likely a difference in expectations but WW anime ended up being a blast.
WW was surprisingly fun for me. I knew basically nothing about the manga and went in with 0 expectations and ended up enjoying it immensely, much more than say Vigilantes which I had high expectations on.
It's good old school dumb comfy comedy
It's when the series blew up with the public
Series blew up with the public with Vol4-5, after Tsugimanga win. That was Rakuzaichi. At SBA the growth almost stopped, which is the opposite of blowing up.
Jump in digital performance from volume 5 to volume 6 and then volume 7 was fucking massive
Physical volume's growth stagnates. Given that there is still a natural flow of the new buyers and people dropping the series, this means that some old physical buyers got less passionate and went from collecting to a quick digital reading, and manga isn't that good for a new readers to buy physical, but good enough to buy digital. In comparison to earlier days when people mostly bought physical copies, showing their excitement, it speaks of an overall more lukewarm response to the series currently. Guess why.
Its characters get by far the most fan art outside literal main protagonists and ongoing events in the manga
This is useless and subjective metric. Fandom surely became bigger in comparison to the early days, recency bias is at work as well.
Good's prices for different characters on Japanese markets is a better metric.
Only Uruha, dead character from the beginning of the arc, has the value somewhat comparable to Chihiro and Hakuri.
Samura has the similar value to Hiyuki and Shiba, but former has the whole bigass arc for himself and recency bias factor, while latter ones are inexistent in this arc.
And other new characters are dragging behind.
So, in summation your arguments are lie+shallow analysis+"feel like" approach.
Typical kgbfag.
say volume 6+7 is when the series blew up with general audience (i.e. NOT OTAKU)
people keep bringing up otaku stuff
appeals to waifufags
baits yurifags
family friendly
huge in japan
Witch Watch having its own dedicated youtube channel is pretty neat. Why can't others do that?

See, this is a MASSIVE reach.
series explodes after award and stabilizes soon after (even so it kept growing after it, especially in digital)
no, it's because people don't like the current arc
(me)
Jesus fuck you schizos are so fucking annoying, are you being purposely obtuse to push your lame agenda or are you just this retarded

they just fucked
Well, they might've need the big channel so that their subscribers can see it which makes sense.
!?
Kaguya went on for 100 chapters after the fact.
and it was awful
much more than say Vigilantes which I had high expectations on.
I'm liking Vigilantes but holy shit, I can already sense the popularity difference between it and MHA for not having any fujobait
hormonal teenagers kissing all night
not ending up in sex
would be such a clown show
It was already shit before it and kept being shit after. Aka just can't accept he sucks at serious drama and he's only good for comedy
Yeah but Quality just remained the same EXCEPT for that arc.
Oh, I thought they fucked already and somehow missed a chapter.
Vigilantes anime also came way too late, should've been adapted both when it was running (or about to end) and when MHA itself had more momentum
I'm liking it but it's kinda slow compared to the rest of this season
Vigilantes hasn't gotten to any of the actual good characters yet
It's a pick your poison
Deku is unbearable but incredibly popular
Koichi is better but has zero marketability
It there anyone that seriously care about TES, even in Japan?
SD is heading towards its end too, right?
And it was fucking shit.
I love Deku.
Can't wait to see CC and O'clock(s)
yeah but SD can have entire chapters of people fight so it could end well into 2027
Koichi is better but has zero marketability
Unfortunately. He has the generic harem MC design
It there anyone that seriously care about TES, even in Japan
it kinda sped up after controversy where it depicted Takeuchi as a rapist
He’s not cute at all. Mainline MHA is full of cute boys. All Shonen must have cute boys if they wish to succeed.
People will care about Koichi when he gets...
Koichi looks more like a background character to be honest. He's definitely not meant to be marketable
sped up
The pacing got faster?
Now you fuckers understand why fujobait is a necessity
Yeah it timeskipped and now its two years away from Tokiyuki recorded death
Ahh got it. And this together with the controversy made people more interested in it
nah, people probably just checked it out because he fucked his harem for like 3 chapters
Realistically, how many chapters does Syd have left?
is better but has zero marketability
You just described Vigilantes in general.. It's definitely better than MHA but the lack of interesting character designs will always be its downfall
Witch Watch is just way better overall
You gotta be kidding me
I think it was on purpose. It's a spin-off of a popular series, Koichi can look truly ordinary like he's meant to because all the popularity comes form the main series anyway
This ain't worksafe.
GAYoshi
Would it kill Vigilantes though to have at least one cute college boy?
The fuck are you on.
Vigilantes are straight up the opposite of what made MHA popular: that Harry Potter academy drama
Who the heck wants superpower nobody interacting with nobodies
literally yes
His artstyle melted whenever he had to imitate Hori artstyle and draw All Might or Endeavor,
YAAAYbro pls
Would Vigilantes be more popular if Koichi and Number 6 kissed and fucked?
The answer is no. Vigilantes is just devoid of interesting characters and plot no matter how you spin it.
it became clear that shitters couldn't use it to shit on kgb anymore and that makes up half of the discussions around it
Why did Kagurabachi decline?
Author introducing a bunch of random
They are all useless
They get shafted by the new randoms
They job and disappear
Least obvious samefag of all time
The pedophile was livid!
They lied about the premise.
The sales started to tank the moment the art and actions became mid hmmmm
3
Can WSJ please not have both SD and BB ending at the same time? Fucking 3/4ths of the magazine don't even have anime
There's no updated chart but the only ones with anime running assuming BB/SD/Elusive all end soon
We just have OP/Roboco/Witch Watch
Yes, it is that sad
Nue save this magazine pls
Akane really should've gotten that anime already.
Our WINNERS are carrying this magazine
I'm just interested to see how jump is going to handle One Piece ending.
We havent seen a power vaccum this big since Dragon Ball ended 30 years ago
Haha...
I wonder if we'll ever get a true long runner in WSJ again. These new mangaka all share the same curse of ending their series early
How long was JJK?
Blame the editors and the suits.
To be fair, it does allow for more potential talent to come in
Only 271 chapters.
I'm seeing the pattern though
Never giving an anime until the manga is at like 150+ chapters in
And when the anime is finally airing for the FIRST season, the manga decides to go into the FINAL arc
Rinse and repeat
271
Almost close to the 300 mark
And when the anime is finally airing for the FIRST season, the manga decides to go into the FINAL arc
These were Mashle, UU, and Yozakura.
What even
Kimetsu.
It's still less obnoxious than making an anime while the manga is still new and then having entire seasons worth of filler arcs
Meds.
Axebaits
Didn't the mangaka decide that one on her own?
Armored Hishaku will be another loudmouth twink, that probably dances to Creepy Nuts. Why does Hackazono has to self insert that much?
I feel like shorter lived manga (even super successful ones) just don't have a big of an impact but I get why this could've been preferred over the olden days. Less stress on the author and less loss over time
That should go for all of them.
Kimetsu's anime was meant to boost its sales towards the end of the series since popular series tend to sell more in the last couple volumes.
Jump didn't expect what happened (like the retards they are because they gave a jump series to the fate company)
I just think Jump is going to be in the same spot it was between Dragon Ball and One Piece for a while, especially once one piece ends.
New gen mangaka probably don't want to dedicate their entire lives to making manga.
Only if you're really dedicated that you can go into that sort of commitment
>Nura Rise of the Yokai Clan (2007),
>Beelzebub (2008),
both of them got axed in the end
That's not a curse, it's how it should be
Other factors could be that they don't want to write for the same manga anymore and want to do a new one. Fujimaki intentionally ended Kuroko early so that he could work on his dream golf manga (guess how that went)
The olden days also had "short" manga. It's only under Torishima did they decide to force series to continue out of fear of repeating the early 90s fiasco
Rakugo won.
Kill Blue felt like an experiment to me. There's no way he thought it managed to live this long
No
We actually do have someone who can manage to do long running manga in jump right now: Osamu Nishi.
She's 5 chapters shy of her 400th chapter of Iruma, and she may eventually end the series in another half decade or so.
So in theory, Ichi could be a long runner in its own right if Nishi and Usazaki want to and more importantly can make it happen
What was Torishima’s problem?
Shit isnt even close, give it another 10 years or so
a good writer
Like who?
He initially got shafted for EiC despite his track record (launched V-Jump instead), Jump sales collapsed post Dragon Ball and Slam Dunk, they then turned around and begged him to take over. By the 00s when it had more or less rebuilt itself he created a don't-let-it-end culture to both increase revenue and avoid that type of slump again. This continued after he left (probably fired) but naturally it created the situation where tons of old series were just limping along and nobody gave a shit. Arguably this also stifled a generation and didn't let them carry through.
You can argue this slump is happening now but its also masked by having eggs in many more baskets than they did in the 80s-90s. (+, Saikyo, V, etc). Logically I assume most magazines will be consumed by + with the exception of weekly and other flagships
Fujimoto
8...
Lost the history otaku readers
Lost the fujo and shotacon readers
Lost readers with the pacing and writing issues
Generated some meme-level fleeting interest with the commitment to the harem but not enough new readers who are only interested in that are going to trudge through all the volumes that were spent trying to appeal to history and shotafag readers
It's over
It's definitely better than MHA
Only retards believe this
lol
Good day nuerats
Grrr you evil devil Yoru, you killed a potencial pussy for my dick, I will fight you RAAAAA
Next chapter
"Do you want to come in me UwU"
aarf arf woof yes my QUEENru, I already forgot why I was mad. You are crazy but maybe I can fuck you. Woof woof are you cold? take my jacked. Do you want me to fight Fakesawman? At your command my OWNERu, grrr bad FSM you evil devil you are ruining our date I will fight you RAAAAA
What's your point? Fujimoto is still an amazing writer. Imagine Hori's art with Fujimoto's mad genius.
Japanese readers don't like Syd's girls and don't care about them
Western readers love the girls and adore their hijinks
Eh?
Fujimoto is still an amazing writer
Oh, so you are actually retarded? Nevermind
Aesthetic as fuck. I would've bought this just for display regardless of what's inside. The fact that this is the first time Akane has styled its cover like this after 17 volumes is such a bummer lmao
Rip Syd
Hey I'm not the one equating sales to quality, that's true retardation.
The discrepancy is so weird. The Western discussion I've seen has been nothing short of positive and those who read it really like it. But Japan clearly doesn't care about it based on the views, lack of fan-art, poor sales, and now the seemingly impending end. It's as if Western readers love it for the exact reasons the Japanese avoid it.
chensoy bros...
not the extra 70k drop
Wanna know what worse, the chainsawtard still think Fujicuck is a good writer
My guess is the japaneses hate the mystery part and only want romance.
Maybe that's why Himaten is doing way better
Takopi starts next month? First time I've heard of it.
youtu.be
Probably
It's not fair that we don't get Syd spoilers when even Bokuben did.
they announced the anime a while back but the release timing is new I think, along with the footage in the trailer
Syd not having any leak, is already a bad sign.
I don't think we've ever gotten leaks for it outside maybe chapter 1.
Yeah, they pretty much gave up after Chapter 1.
Bokuben had a lot of western fans. As a Bokuben reader and someone familiar with 22i's writing and tropes what I can say is the following : the mysteries are just okayish and the romance seems like a rehash of bokuben, I was expecting something more creative from 22i. Apart from that, Syd is a master detective from the get go, and he has no goal, I'd be better if he's a rookie detective making his way to the top and trying to solve a conspiracy with personal stakes. Honestly I give it a 6, and that's being generous, but even then, I'm never reading himaten, none of my Syd bros are ever picking up that
I know Bokuben was never as big as 5Toubun but I could have sworn it was decently popular in Japan when it was still around. Mafuyu was a big deal there after all.
How would you react if Syd does end? Will the Bokuben fanbase on Anon Babble really vanish into thin air once it's gone?
Look like chihayafuru cover
I feel like Tsutsui had more plans for the mysteries, but the feedback wasn't so good so he pivoted towards focusing on the harem. I doubt Lulu was even planned from the start but instead was a way to drum up readership.
Bad day, BlackedClover? As usual.
The problem is that they botched the Anime, which stopped it from getting a bigger fanbase. Also, if it ends it ends, I'm also a vet jump reader so I don't mind, we'll be here lurking. It seems that it caught everyone by surprise when they saw so much Syd discussion. Back in the day there's barely any bokuben discussion in the jump threads.
I don't think he cooked a heroine that quickly, but maybe nips aren't that interested in heterosexual mysteries
Should plummet faster. Society is too kind.
It seems that it caught everyone by surprise when they saw so much Syd discussion.
Ironically it has some of the most active threads of any Jump series, far more than safe series like Blue Box and Sakamoto Days. I have a feeling that most of the people in the Syd threads don't read others in the magazine. Not like I'm any different, the only ones I read are Syd and Himaten since I dropped Blue Box ages ago.
I don't think he cooked a heroine that quickly
Uruka?
It's already at <150k.
IF Ichi doesn't flop compared to both Nishi's and Shueisha's expectations. Sure, it's better performing than most of Jump's current roster, but I can see it flopping a bit later. Nishi wanted to make her take on pokemon, but it quickly devolved into pokefujos, which could be a big hit or divisive. In general Jump is catering to girls and fujos heavily. Let's see if it pays off.
Doesn't deserve it. Even 50k is too much at this point.
This mangaka will never be serialised,lol
Chenso hate is so forced
Does anyone know if Tsunehiro Date's Ieyasu manga in Young Jump is in danger of getting axed anytime soon? It's already outlasted of any of his previous serializations.
Sure cuckincel bro.
it only charted in shoseki for a few days and it was rather low
but yj axes last for like 30-50 chapters
Denji gets more action than you
What about Misao no Keiyaku?
I doubt everyone here reads everything, but I wouldn't be surprised if Syd fans read only Syd, some anons that joined the bokuben hype train were surprised to discover it's a jump Manga
I think we can all agree that blacked clover sucks and only retards like BCuck like it
chainsawbros, what is our response to this?
He just finished uni I'm pretty sure
I'm surprised that not even the Bokuben chapter was enough to save it.
Pretty easy, sales is not quality. I'm certain anons here don't suddenly believe Wan Piss is the greatest piece of fiction to exist.
babby's first CGDCT SoL
Its manga sales got cut by 2/3 despite being massively more shilled now though. Everybody and their moms would agree pre-timeskip was better, so One Piece is actually a pretty good case of sales as a measure of quality.
Is there anything currently selling better than Wan Piss?
Shush you, don't engage that retard, he actually think Fujitrash is a good writer
baby first samurai manga
Scared he's going to make your side look bad? How bitch made of you
If anything the Anime proved that he isn't as good and the general audience see CSM as juvenile at best, childish and immature at worst
inb4 BUT THAT WAS THE DIRECTOR'S FAULT REEEEEEEEE
Yeah right
Its kinda funny that chainsawtard still think the guy behind a manga that drop half of its sales in such a short time is a good writer though
still no answer
It's as if fujihaters know their retard logic blows up in their own face.
I remember when retards on this board hype it to heavens, what happened?
Otr..... will not be axed
Our WINNERS.... will WIN
The MC wants to have sex, so mature and deep. He's not like the other Shonen MC's
Oh yeah
one week of Otr
1996 birthyear
lol
Get this poor guy a writer for his next manga
An artist who knows how to do action too.
Is that supposed to be bad? Seems a lot better than Syd's.
Isn't that good?
Stay on that side. When Otr is a success, i will make sure wsj becomes an otr general.
Otr is good tho, he learned a lot
tho
"Otr has bad art" fags are the same faggots who will say horikoshi has bad art.
Nothing wrong with what’s written
?
Oh wait I thought that was the Tate Roll guy
I like his art in RH more desu
I didn't read this week's Otr. How was ch.2?
Setup chapter for a training arc + shitty cluttered pages
This is why mangaka publish on digital be it J+, Magapoke, or others
This could've been 2 pages just like the first chapter should've been longer
a training arc
Not sure if that's a good call.... That sounds like a mistake. Throw the kid to the wolves and have him adapt as he grows. Too early to do any sort of training arc atm.
shitty cluttered pages
That page is fine, you just petty little bitch.
That's fine. You just want something to flop
of course we do, what do you think this is is? Plebbit?
shitty cluttered pages
bachikek when half the page isnt recycled
KaguraGREENS fighting against global warming and contamination
Amazing
Someone put Luffy as Kakasihi and Otr, Chihito, and Ichi as the trio
Chihito
I don't get why won't WSJ have 2-3 more digital only series. It's perfect for ecchi/otakubait manga.
Kakasihi
No
Yeah, because this tired ass meme hasn't already been done a million times.
Plus, people get it wrong every fucking time.
When it was Goku and the Big 3, it's cause all 3 were Dragonball inspired.
Then it was done again with MHA, Black Clover, and forget which other, abd they had Luffy as Kakashi. But the thing is, those 3 took from Naruto, not OP.
Then it was done again with Kimetsu, and JJK, etc... but those took from Bleach, not OP.
Now you're telling people to do it with Kagurabachi, Otr, Ichi the Witch, but none of those are pulling from OP. Otr can be compared to MHA. Kagurabachi to JJK, and Ichi is just gay.
If you want Luffy as Kakashi then it should be Ruri, Akane and Otr
No
Someone make Chihiro tell stories of Deku and Yuji to Otr and Ichi
Nothing in the main magazine
Ghost Fixers, Maison, Lunatic Terrapop and Chuck Beans in J+
Crazy how One Piece hasn't inspired anything
fairy tail
It inspired a fuckton of oneshots imitating Oda's style.
slut
7D, undead cuck, mashima slop and demon slayer lowkey is like bleach exorcist plot with one piece goofyness + formulaic ‘run around in place X, sad backstory and kill new villain’ arcs.
But by and LARGE every shonen nowadays copies Bleach (a YYK ripoff)
YYK
Yuyutsu Kaisen?
Nothing really imitates it, any similarity is from the shit it copied in the first place.
Calling Bleach a YYH ripoff and not a successor to Saint Seiya proves your ignorance. Which is especially ironic considering how hard the Dark Tournament arc ripped off from Dragonball.
It literally almost didn't get published for its pitch being a shameless yyh ripoff.
Substitute shinigami is just yyh's ghost detective arc.
Why do you tell lies?
Saint Seiya is a generic tokusatsu retard. It didn’t inspire shit. And what does tournament formula have to do with YYH’s exorcist theme
bro your dark tournament?
Team HUNTER v.s. Team Pirate
Who wins?
As an Otr bro, I regularly see bachifags defending us. It must be ichi the bitch.
hunter perma hiatus
sakafloppa
Team pirate.
mashima slop
?
Our WINNERS? They pull a Romeo and Juliet.
I'd read it
Romeo and Juliet
Yeah, because Oppenheimer dad and Mr concrete are going to get in their way, considering that they're dead
None of these were inspired by One Piece. Kagurabachi is inspired by Naruto and Bleach, Ichi is inspired by Iruma (which is its own thing), and Otr is too new to know if Matsui has influenced Kawaguchi.
Naruto and Bleach
Are Bleachfags for real?
Captain on hiatus
Vice-Captain is falling off and is FLOPPING its main villain
One of the duo managers is being overhyped for its bland fujo fantasy.
Other duo manager is too niche
Team pirate
This isn't unusual. It's why every new blatant axebait got a following that keeps crying about "potential"
Everyone could see it for what is actually was.
Kagurabachi is inspired by Ajin
Hishaku pulling a 9/11 soon
chap 1 barely just reached 1m and chap 2 lost half its audience
this shit is dead
90% of the story is a direct line from Naruto, with the rest basically being sprinklings of AOT and Ajin
