I would kill Gojo as well only to make the fujoshi subhumans seethe forever

my god this shit was so fucking stacked

I just started watching the anime of undead unluck and although the story is by no means perfect it does have a vibe very different from modern shonen, can't believe we will remember undead unluck fondly in a few years just like we do today with Medaka Box, Beelzebub, and Katekyo Hitman Reborn

this is what makes Iruma-kun so good, it does not have fanservice, everything that happens in the story is because the mangaka wanted it not because of external influences, moder mangaka try to hard to appeal to their readers, this is also why dandadan is so popular it has never tried to make a small group of people happy but to tell the story the mangaka wanted, it backfired for some time because the self inserting otakus hated the inclusion of Jiji and then Zuma to the story

Holy fuck take me back!

Sad thing is UU is much worse than stuff like Medaka Box or Beelzebub though.
Hitman reborn was ass.

Beelzebub

Wasn't it pretty good at first? It shitted the bed hard afterwards.

I doubt we'll ever get a transition manga like Reborn again. They'll get axed at the gag part already

Feels like I'm the only person in the world who thought that Beelzebub was consistently awesome throughout its run. Sure there are some characters that didn't get the amount of development I wish they did, but that aside I enjoyed it through and through.

I hope the kagurabachi cover has the updated circulation number w/ volume 5

Also hoping they announce some kind of project, like a popularity poll

kino…

All of those manga are worse than the current lineup, oldman.

I think it's rare in general that something drastically changed how the manga would be like. Yugioh went from Saw mind games to the more marketable card game whilst keeping the egyptian stuff intact..
But Reborn felt more natural because the gag parts already has fight parts in them albeit it was more comedic.

I was hoping Kiyoshi would have to transition one way or another. Gag manga have a horrible track record in terms of being alive

No, I'm sure Roboco was kept in for nepotism

I was hoping Kiyoshi would have to transition one way or another.

they seriously need to market it with kagurabachi

Also hoping they announce some kind of project, like a popularity poll

Don't they still have that other contest ongoing?

there is Yozakura and flopped

And nuke KGB by marketing it with a 15k seller?
Doth thou forget so quickly UU and Mashle?

gag series transitioning to straight battle shounen

Tried imagining if the reverse were to happen with KGB. Then I realized that'd just be the first half of Sakamoto Days.

the difference is a lot of kagurabachi fans in japan straight up aren't reading the magazine, and most of the kiyoshi fans reading the magazine already are kagurabachi fans

The one for Yugioh might've been a blessing in disguise. One can only go so far to make a shadow game for each scenario in a city setting.

Funny because JJk,KnY and even MHA still destroy this line up.

How did we even get To Love Ru in this magazine in the first place anyway?

It was a different time.

Things were different back then

They keep Roboco because it's a good way to subtly advertise events and other works.

Do tell us about how UU nuked Mashle's success

In terms of advertising as a group. I think Kagurabachi/Nue/Kiyoshi is solid. (red and black color scheme and all). Kill Blue does not belong with them

I think Kagurabachi/Nue/Kiyoshi is solid.

Kagurabachi / Akane* / Kiyoshi
Ftfy

>mha

Mha ain't beating peak bleach or naruto bruh

It's over for a while, though good question as any when Hokazono will get the chance to draw fan sorcerers getting cut down. The current setup doesn't seem right for it.

>Let's drag KGBI down with these 2 anti-draws!!

Do retards really?

Kagurabachi/Akane/Kiyoshi/Astro*

The strongest group in jump: KAKA

>nuked mashle success

Mashle was never going to be more than a failed OPM copy but less funny and worse action, 150k fm was his peak for a reason

women were a minority of readers back then when the magazine sold over a million copies... good times

Sakamoto Days? the protagonist isn't even the same guy as the one in the start of the manga because of this

They are already doing something hilarious with nue and kill blue, a 30k seller and a sub 20k seller

KGBI won't save your failed favorite manga

axe everything but One Piece, Hunter x Hunter, Kagurabachi, Ichi the Witch, Sakamoto Days, Akane Banashi, and Blue Box

Jump would kill to have another 150k fm you retarded ape

Has there ever been a series that started out really weak and shitty and made a hard comeback? Shit series like Astro and Kiyoshi seem hopeless.
Don't say KGBT, yes it had low ToC but even first volume sold very well, it had fan.

but even first volume sold very well, it had fan.

First volume sold roughly the same as Kiyoshi and Himaten did even with fanfare.

Iruma-kun (and can still grow more), Kimetsu no Yaiba, Jujutsu Kaisen, Frieren, Gachiakuta, Tougen Anki, pretty much all modern shonen manga sell like shit until they get the anime

First volume sold roughly the same as Kiyoshi and Himaten did even with fanfare.

KGB 1 sold more in its first 3 days than either did in a month

it also depends on how well the anime adaptation is done, it is not only how well animated it is but also the amount of impactful moments the anime has, that's why most new anime do 24 episodes instead of 12, even sakamoto days will do the 24 apisodes after rethinking the strategy

You could say the same about 90k sellers as well, what the magazine needs doesn't change the fact that mashle never hit the numbers OPM did in at its peak, hell even now after decline volume over volume OPM still sells way better than mashle ever did

sold roughly the same

3 days sale for KGB 1, with probably 15-20k total print

3 week sales for Himaten, Kiyoshi:
Himaten 1 - 13,519
Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi 1 - 11,039

385823895.jpg - 551x432, 50.34K

It sold out within the first week, we'll truly never know how well vol 1 would have done if it hadn't sold out. All though selling out in the first week looks better than whatever fm sales it would have hit with proper stock.

Bobobo is better than many modern battle shonen lol

bobobo it's over too

Mashle's sales started off strong and delcined steadily when people finally realized it would always have one gag

gen z and gen alpha readers do not like reading manga that do not have an anime, why? because they don't want to get into a manga that then gets axed, this is the mean issue with modern day manga, young people don't want to "waste" their time reading a manga that then will get axed in a few volumes, this is why jump plus does much better than weekly shonen jump, because there the manga never gets axed unless it does piss poor numbers in readers like less than 5k, people know the story they are reading won't end suddenly and that incentives them into reading it

I blame smartphones and capitalism.

By turning around, I mean series in danger of being axed due to shit and meandering, not exister tier to blowout level sales. But thanks for the response.

Gen Z and Gen A don't even read.

I blame men being taught to behave like faggots by society instead of being chads not afraid of failure like millenials and boomers were, the only thing you can't bounce back from is death

why? because of the "other male" in the last chapter? "he" looks like a humanoid majik

Would a real chad complain like this instead of taking matters into his own hands?

gen z and gen alpha readers do not like reading manga that do not have an anime

gen z'ers and alpha's read fucking webtoons, evne if they don't have anime

a real chad would do both

God I fucking LOVE UnVIRGIN UnNEET.

Kimetsu's title is still the funniest and most obvious filter we've ever had in wsj thread and Anon Babble. The original manga readers here called it Kimetsu because they're the one translating the series after it was dropped by Miso Soup. Viz didn't even pick the series up before the anime. Then comes the secondary who called it Demon Slayer trying and failing to look like they're here the whole time. And then after that, there are stupid new wave of people trying to disguise themselves as 'firsties' by calling it Yaiba.
Has any other series's title works as a filter now? I think with the simulpub it's becoming less likely we'll get filters like this again.

webtoons

nobody reads webtoons nowadays, aside from Tower of God, Noblesse, Lookism, and the God of Highschool webtoons get even less readers than your average manga

No, because it's fucking boring and they're pissed off that it has a high TOC lol

so it is because of console war faggotry lmao, they know once Ichi gets famous there is no coming back from Champion taking over once Iruma gets popular among normies

If you were asked to name the "good" and "bad" points of this manga, how would you answer?
For me
Bad points
The main character is like a doll with no sense of self, and even though he has no goal, he just seems to follow the scenario. He can't understand the concept of death vs. death, and he's inconsistent and hard to get into. I don't like how he's an aspie.
Good points
The illustrations seem like they'd be popular with fujoshi.

No giga retard they are shitting on it because nothing happens in that series, you can meme sakamoto for all eternity as people fight the manga but that manga at least has fights, the fuck does ichi have? One sexy black bitch? What else? Some retard jungle boy?

Shoseki Ranking Top 500 (November 24)
4. ONE PIECE #110
55. SAKAMOTO DAYS #19
188. Akane-banashi #14
200. WITCH WATCH #19
415. Kill Blue #7

Really interested in seeing how Ichi will do.
I don't like it at all. I liked Death Crow, but she's trapped in a shitty manga, and I can't be bothered reading it just for her.
It seems like a crappy fujo series except there's nothing to fujo over. Maybe the new guy will turn it into a full on BL yaoishit. That'll be a wonder.
I want it to be axed.

Yet I read more manga that you do retard, funny how that works

Iruma's anime is so dead its fags are begging Ichi to be the boost

I still don't get the point of having a mostly female cast if you don't make it a harem.

Oh yeah? Name 10 mangas

Korean webtoons will never achieve a fraction of manga's popularity as long as they keep their shitty paneling

I still can't believe that the fucking Tougen Anki anime has more hype than Sakamoto Days in japan, they don't even have a famous anime studio taking on the project, it is practically a fan project at this point and it has negative zero hype in the west, nobody knows what a tougen anki is, yet the japanese are anticipating its anime more than the flagship series of weekly shonen jump

Kiyoshi and Himaten...

Bad

too much recaps

uroro or whatever was completely sidelined

very girly

Good

fun cast

hot female designs

bad points? definitively the pacing and how unoriginal the concept of the story is, other than that I like it, it is not Iruma-kun but it is still better than everything new in jump

Nobody will believe this regardless of how hard you try

I still don't get the point of having a mostly female cast if you don't make it a harem.

Based, fuck haremslop

Baki = One Piece
Yowamushi Pedal = Hunter x Hunter
Iruma = Boku no Hero Academia
Tougen Anki = Jujutsu Kaisen
Shy = Undead Unluck
Iku-gyo no Ao = Ichi the Witch
Rappa = Kagurabachi

I am comparing them by date of release, relevancy in their magazine, and how popular they are in their magazine

One Piece is better than Baki
Hunter x Hunter is better than Yowamushi Pedal
Iruma is better than Boku no Hero Academia
Tougen Anki is better than Jujutsu Kaisen
Undead Unluck is tied with Shy in quality
Ichi the Witch is better than Blue Anger
Rappa and Kagurabachi should have a death battle to see who is better I bet Chihiro can't even land a blow on Endo

Bleach average of 1,6M per volume(74)

MHA average of 2,4M per volume(41)

I give you Naruto but Bleach gets fuck by MHA.

quality wise Naruto and Bleach are leagues better than Boku no Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen, JJK literally copied everything from Bleach and it is shittier than bleach story wise while Boku no Hero Academia had one of the worst character developments in history, Naruto is clear from it, the only good manga is Kimetsu no Yaiba, zoomers eat trash and gives their thanks for it

That's why I said at its peak retard, fm bleach was doing above 700k while at it's peak mha was doing a little over 600k, had bleach maintained those sales it would stand above mha

>Implying nardo and bleach were good

Lmao

JJK and KnY did more than a million per volume tho, that being said sales do not equal quality, there is a reason the last arc of Bleach is being super popular among zoomers right now, an arc that was heavily criticized back then by shonen jump readers

Naruto fell hard, Kishimoto needed breaks to better plan the story.

they were clearly better than Boku no Hero Academia aka wannabe gen alpha naruto but end up being just cuckslop and Jujutsu Kaisen aka BAN... KAI but for retarded faggots and fujo subhumans that only consumed this trash because of the aryan coded character they masturbated to

Isn't kubo literally fixing the shit he created with the anime? Also good sakuga is gonna keep any sheep happy regardless of plot quality

the final arc of naruto was still far better than the highest highs of Boku no Hero Academia and Jujutsu kaisen

the lowest lows in quality of the three pillars are still far better than the highest highs of the new gen, except for Kimetsu no Yaiba which is actually good

More Hakuri merch announced

Hakuri.jpg - 1347x754, 675.79K

as of right now nothing has changed compared to the manga, the changes will probably happen in the final battle, I think the bankai of unohana changed but the effects and the use in the story was the same

>look, my 5.6/10 manga is better than your 4.9/10 manga!!

Both generations ate slop dude, just get over it, like it'll defend fucking mha and jjk

name a good manga/anime

And they were shatting on hima ten. Why should i care? They're retarded

Vagabond, gunbuster, haibane renmei, ashita no joe, strongest man kurosawa

the final arc of naruto was still far better than the highest highs of Boku no Hero Academia and Jujutsu kaisen

Good bait

Really retarded when people take random nip comments and act like they all think that, especially with known shitposters

I'm glad they're choosing to emphasize his coolness instead of making him look like a cuteblob.

pretentious faggot

popular≠shit

even tho most of the times it is true

Hiyuki, Shiba, now Hakuri

Wonder when Chihiro's birthday is? Shiba missed out on merch and has to wait a year, wonder if the same is true for him too.

That's for the plushie

It's August 11th, we got it with volume 4.

August 11th, so basically, Yeah
Probably for the better

It actually had hype here and there.

Shibuya is not better than Gai sensei liberating the eight gates and Boku no Hero academia peaked with All Might vs All For One, that's still slightly bellow the final arc of naruto

Thanks. Completely missed the latest volume leaks.

shibuya

Bleach 7.59

The original manga is complete. Dragon Ball, Gash Bell and Shaman King are also there and they have direct sequels.

Dragon Ball Super is not done by Toriyama, for me it is complete, Gash Bell and Shaman King I agree although Shaman King is more of a new generation type of thing, but Ruroni Kenshin has not finished its story at all, the mangaka keeps writing it, it is like saying Saint Seiya is finished when the mangaka has to still draw the final arc, or saying Berserk is finished

He has the perfect amount of moe gap when compared to his can badge expression.

Another week another Kagurabachi thread not hitting bump limit.

goatzo.png - 690x1127, 367.18K

Saint Seiya is finished when the mangaka has to still draw the final arc

I fucking hate Kuramada. We wait like 15 years for next dimension to end only for ANOTHER sequel to pop up. What the fuck

Another week of Kagurabachi being the most popular series in jump not from the 90s

Bonus chapter should have been about Char and Hinao, we would have gotten 5 threads out of it.

If he keeps getting covers every 6 chapters, I'm sure we will get more bonus chapters

it has always been his plan, the original final arc was supposed to be divaded in two parts, one being Next Dimension and the other one being the Zeus arc

Next bonus chapter will be about Tafuku going on "patrol"

No........

I mean, you're not wrong, but Tsuna did redeem himself when he started killing

No, I enjoyed it as well. Oga was a pretty based chad.

God clearly wanted it to be a part of JUMP, even when they they pushed the letter as hard as they fucking could and practically made soft core porn.

Holy shit, take me back.

Bleach and Naruto were NEVER peak, but MHA is somehow not better than these pieces of shit.

Another paid week off another Shindo win

Tlr part 1 was tame compared to Yuuna/AT

modern day anime studios are so shit I wouldn't desire any of these Manga to receive the demakes Shaman King and Ruroni Kenshin received although Gash Bell, Pandora Hearts, Rave Master, Chrono Crusade, Negima, Ghost Sweeper Mikami, Claymore, Tegami Bachi, Soul Eater, and Kekkaishi really need one

I figured Chihiro and Hakuri would become enemies but I never realized it'd be over Akane

AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!

No, I don't want that!

Akane finding another man?

I want her to think about me for the rest of her life at least 10 years!

how strong dragon witch in ichi verse?

Pandora Hearts

Opinions on this?

Get Backers

I actually have to apologize, this was at 7.9, barely under 8, but I wasn't sure if it was a battle shounen.

Hinao

who

Toei has been considering doing a Gash Bell remake. Maybe after Nube.

Bleach needs to roll back about 80% of its volumes to "fix it", not just the ending

Wasn't there a relatively big change in Renji vs Ishida?

Based tvtropes

Chihiro should be shipped with Tafuku

They are retroactively taking anything new added to the anime as if it was always in the manga

Bleach Brotherhood is coming in 2026, trust Kubo-Sensei

Ok, retard, non "pretentious" manga and anime that are peak:

Gurren Laggan, Dungeon Meshi, Getter Robo, Golden Kamuy, Kingdom, FMA, Jojo, HXH and Gundam

No love for Jojo part 1....never any love

Getter Robo

nice self own pretentious fag
