Damn MHA has been middling in the rankings.

We know anything about the new series?

The first one is from the creator if Inumarudashi. It's about a vegetable/animal hybrid.

Fulldrive is a sports manga of some kind.

Golem Hearts had a oneshot in Jump Plus.

Yikes. Time to say farewell to Marie I guess. sad It already had a miraculously long run, so I hope it will at least have a half-decent ending. The latest chapters seemed to have a subdued buildup to a sort of climax.

I read Marie 's first chapter and instantly bounced off. Don't know why it was serialised to be honest.

Robo Lee has been around for a year and still doesn't break into the top 10. Clearly, Spring Weapon #1 should be cancelled first.

[up][up] It's not top-tier material by any means, but it has a lot of good and funny moments nonetheless. It's admittedly a bit weak in the graphic department though.

The tomato dog one looks like a toy tie in for a much younger audience than Jump usually targets.

Number 45:

Front color: Tomatoypoo no Lycopene
Center color: Dr. Stone, Hinomaru Zumou, Boku-tachi wa Benkyoudekinai
1 - Haikyuu!!
2 - One Piece
3 - Black Clover
4 - Boku no Hero Academia
5 - Kimetsu no Yaiba
6 - Shokugeki no Souma
7 - Yakusoku no Neverland
8 - Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san
9 - Saiki Kusuo no Psynan
10 - Gintama
11 - Seishun Heiki Number One
12 - Robot × Laserbeam
13 - Shuudan!
14 - Cross Account
15 - Harapeko no Marie

Lycopene doesn't look like Jump material… like, at all. ô.Ô Also, none of the bottom 3 is axed for now. Ironically, Cross Account's chapter might be the best one yet… Which confirms my belief that the series could have been much better if it had just focused on the two otaku.

Laserbeam dropped from top 3 to almost bottom 3 in just three weeks. What the heck happened?

Laserbeam is super inconsistent in ranks, like Spring Weapon. It has excellent volume sales, though, so that shouldn't scare you much.

I'm glad Kimetsu no Yaiba gets consistently high rankings. I like the old-school feel to it.

Isn't the anime debuting this month? It should add an extra-boost.

Yeah, Lycopene doesn't belong, and the table tennis manga doesn't stand a chance, either.

#1789: Oct 9th 2017 at 10:57:58 PM

[up][up] No, that's Black Clover, which is probably the blandest, soulless shonen I've read and I have no idea why it's so popular.

Well its popular with the kids & honestly its become a decent read.

I mean its not good or great but its mildly entertaining.

I think this excerpt from the YMMV page sums it up perfectly:

Most likely, the reason for this is because Black Clover is highly formulaic and derivative, resulting in a boring read for those who have already read a lot of manga but an exciting story for beginners who aren't familiar with the series Black Clover is imitating.

It seriously reads like a checklist of shonen tropes to me.

Yeah, Black Clover basically does a lot of shonen stuff a lot worse than the shonen that came before it (and I don't even like the art to boot), but that doesn't matter because the strength of the shonen tropes it scavenges from everything that came before it is enough to entertain the kids who have never come across them before.

It doesn't really innovate or add much to the shonen genre, it's just managed to land itself in a nice chronological sweet spot when most of the shonen it tries to be have recently ended their run. And I guess Jump wanted a run of the mill shonen in its pages too. And no-one's really done a Western magic knight flavoured shonen in Jump before, so that helps.

I'll second that Black Clover isn't exactly the most ground-breaking shonen out there, but it does manage to keep me mildy amused whenever I read a new chapter. Plus, it doesn't devolve into the anti-shonen that was Fairy Tail, so :P

Saying something is better than Fairy Tail really isn't saying much. tongue

I've given Black Clover a couple of attempts, eventually the lack of anything original wears me down though.

[up]IDK about the other countries, but maybe in France, it still has a plot. Or maybe digital licensing.

I'm not crazy, just creatively different.

[up] Eeh, I don't know, French publishers don't seem to be into overly ecchi stuff. Like, it took them 6 years to import Monmusu (the first volume is coming out next year). Though there's one publisher specialized in hentai, I think? Anyway, issue 46!

Front color: Saiki Kusuo no Psynan

So it looks like Tomatoypoo is the new Isobee, the comedy manga at the end of every issue.

Yeah, it would make sense. But then that means Shuudan still has a slim chance of survival.
