Oumagadoki was the best and I was tremendously sad to see it go. Barrage was a lot of fun too, I'm afraid that mangaka is doomed to never last in Jump.

Thanks for posting that! Somehow I never read the last two chapters of Kiruko's first run. It's good to have her back.

pandaK posted:There's a new comic called Iron Knight out. It doesn't really feel like it's trying to go for any gimmicky wow factor, but I feel like it may be a contender for part of the next big three. Hot drat. Thanks for linking this. Did you check out the One Shot version too? That got real dark. It definitely seems like it'll be worth following for a while, I want to see where it goes from there. EDIT: Or at least see how long it goes until he finds the human resistance holed up trying to preserve their old lives... in High School.

"This rabbit sticks out like a sore thumb," indeed. Does the kid grow bigger when he Iron Knights, or is the rabbit just tiny? The perspective on that was weird.

DreamingofRoses posted:Yeah, so I know I'm a few years behind and there's probably a thread for this somewhere, but I started reading Katekyo Hitman Reborn! a few years ago while I was in college. It was like mid-Future arc when I stopped because I have trouble keeping up with things that aren't finished and sort of put it to the back of my mind. The characters were fun, but that ending was just god awful. You're still as terrible as you were in chapter 1 Tsuna, despite all that happened, but at least you have friends now to help you try and not be quite as much of a gently caress-up.

Not sure if this is the right place for this but I figure it's topical enough. I've been struck by the desire to experience Fist of the North Star. Other than some clips over the years, I've never read or seen any of it. What's the best way to go about this? This is the manga thread so I figure the answer will be 'manga,' but I'm nonetheless curious. I did some reading and it seems like the movie is abridged and entirely different while the anime is less so but it still changes some things around; is there filler too, or is it still over-all good and faithful? Or no, stick with the manga?

Kuroyama posted:I get the feeling that The Promised Neverland, if it makes it past the escape and becomes a long runner, will end up as something that would have worked better as a short story focused just on the escape. I don't know. It's possible, but personally with the twists and surprises this series has managed so far, I'm most interested in how they'll execute the escape but still quite interesting in finding out what's out in the world beyond the walls.

Silver2195 posted:The second chapter of Demon's Plan reveals that there's going to be a Highlander-style battle among 108 otherwise-immortal demons (including Boro and Carlos) with the winner getting their wish granted. I guess the idea is that to be selected by the Demon's Plan in the first place, you have to want whatever you wish for badly enough to be willing throw away immortality for a chance at it. Though if Boro and Carlos are the last two standing, I suppose nothing would stop them from just staying immortal instead of killing each other. Or maybe it will end with Boro being the last survivor and using his wish to bring Carlos back to life, assuming the manga doesn't get cancelled first. Well, after they got super powers at the end of the first chapter there was no way this wasn't going to be a Battle Manga, it was just a question of how they were going to do it. But I didn't expect the Hunger Games either. I gotta wait til Monday to find out how the execution is though.

Does anyone know if Beet The Vandel Buster has started up again? I remember reading articles saying it was supposed to come back in Jump Square this year, but I can't find any confirmation as to whether or not that happened. I ask since I recently found out Beet was written by my favorite Tokusatsu writer Riku Sanjo, so I became interested in reading his other works. But I also know that Beet went on hiatus ten years ago so I don't want to get invested if I know it'll Hunter X Hunter me at the end. In the meantime I picked up the first volume of Dai's Big Adventure, which was apparently him too and I hear some good things about.

Allarion posted:Kimetsu no Yaiba seems fine. Never at the bottom, and always hanging around. Sometimes even pops up near the top. Anyways, rankings give a decent idea on the health of a series. Red Sprite started low, stayed low, and now it's dead. Basically if it's consistently near the bottom, especially if it's a new series, it probably won't last long. This has been true for all the other canceled new series too. Good to hear about Yaiba. I never picked it up after the Jump Start, but it seemed promising and MS' Authors Comments had them saying "Thanks for the support" last week or so which I'd come to associate with the end of a series. EDIT: Speaking of which I just read this week's and Oda went to lunch with Shimabukuro and Kishimoto. I guess they just weren't close but Oda completely ignoring Bleach's end while celebrating Naruto and Toriko is endlessly funny to me.

Hopeford posted:Promised Neverland is surprisingly good. It's not like there's a singular "Whoa" moment, but every two chapters or so has a slightly unexpected way to develop the plot and combined with the super tense premise it's more than enough to keep my attention. It's the kind of thing that I can't say if it will turn out good or not since it's so early on, but it's keeping a VERY good atmosphere of suspense. I look forward to it every week and yeah, it's just pretty fun. Kinda of thing that I hesitate to recommend to people because of how this kind of series can turn out great or terrible depending on how the plot turns, but so far it's doing a great job at keeping me interested in everything. Due to being busy and generally lazy it's been a long time since I've sought out and read any scanned manga on my own. Because of that, I'm so drat thankful that WSJ both ran The Promised Neverland and added it to the line-up because it's one that I would never have found and followed on my own but love as a series and look forward to ever week. It's got an interesting world full of potential and some drat smart and spry kids that fill the children-plotting-against-their-parent-figure-sized AssClass hole in my week.

Yuuna-san probably sticks around to fill the "that manga" slot when Food Wars can't. I enjoyed what I read of Demon's Plan (haven't read past the Jump Start three chapters) and hope it finds its footing. Amalgam I can take or leave since its first three chapters didn't have a good enough hook for me. Spring Weapon on the other hand was really funny in its first three chapters so I hope it can find a way to survive.

Allarion posted:Yuuragi-sou no Yuuna fills the ecchi niche, while We Never Learn is probably more aligned with Nisekoi, especially since the mangaka did a Nisekoi spinoff for a while. Yuuragi is hilariously shameless. Soma can get bad with the fanservice, drat, this ones on another level. I had no idea Yuuragi was even a thing until I got to Japan and flipped through a new Jump and there were just pages and spreads of blatant tits and rear end. Does anyone actually read it and know if the story/characters or any good, or is it just there to show off its, uh, art assets?

When I say morning, I mean they were playing it at like 5:30 AM. I love YYH, but nothing is worth getting up that early. I tried for a few weeks, but it just wasn't happening, especially since I was up late during those days. A quick google search revealed that this was apparently back in like 2005, and I am pretty sure there was zero advertising for it.

Punkin Spunkin posted:I'd rather have Hungry Marie but I don't really have strong positive opinions about any of them. I haven't read any of Robot or We Never Learn tho As a Beelzebub fan Marie is definitely my #2, We Never Learn was a strong #3 due to cute character designs and an absence of generic feel-good romcom in the magazine since Nisekoi left. But Stone is my #1 for sure, it's interesting and entertaining enough and having the writer of Eyeshield 21 gives it more than enough faith from me. I will agree that Neverland had the most killer first chapter though, and it deserved to be picked up immediately by the magazine based on how absurdly good and interesting it was. The new six don't quite match that, but I think a lot of them have potential. I would have liked them to keep Spring Weapon #1 too, though. The magazine could use a gag manga and the first chapters were pretty funny. It's still going too, unlike the other Jump starts from that time (Amalgam, Demon's Plan, ect) so I wish they'd kept it back when it ran.

Man that looks cool as hell and I hope it gets added to the line up next week. Also my computer background is that big spread Horikoshi drew of all the Jump heroes from way back and man it is crazy to look at it now since like 3/4 of the series' represented are over or got canceled quickly.

Rizu in particular. "Rizu, are you alright? You've been staring at Yuiga for a while." -Blank stare panel.- "...Who has?!" "You!" I don't know why but that scene really got me.

I don't know how well it was doing, I never paid attention to its placement in the ratings, but it had a minor presence at Winter ComiKet and its volumes were placed in visible spots for a long time at Animate so I thought it was doing well enough. I only flipped through a handful of recent chapters and it looked like it was doing some more serious/higher stakes arcs, so I guess I may have been skimming its endgame without knowing it. Is it being scanned/read by anyone in the thread? I'd be interested to know if it ended abruptly like Bleach or escalated and ended somewhat naturally? Or alternately went apeshit and made the most of its last chapters ala Toriko?

I'll admit the 'weird powers' angle is definitely the driving force behind my interest. The wikipedia article on it told me nothing about the plot other than it being about Superpower Tournament Battles, but the only thing I've ever known about the series that's stuck with me is that the main guy makes trees out of garbage and I want to know how that works. Is it strategic tree growing, are they Kurama/Usopp style random anime-trees with their own powers, is he made of trees, I just gotta know. I'm sure I'll sit down and read/watch it one day.

Mikl posted:How's We Never Learn doing in Jump ratings-wise? They just introduced a new character, and it seems it's heading the Nisekoi way, which seems like a ratings stunt and would be a shame because thus far it hadn't gone full harem. I hope it's doing well, I haven't compared its place in the magazine. Losing it has been among the worst parts of having to discontinue my WSJ subscription, it's such a cute series and the scans are so slow. I miss my weekly antics, Ogata is stupid cute.
