[up][up][up][up] Wops, my weird mistake. [lol]

[up][up][up] I forgot what the "average" amount of first sales, but isn't 80 000-100 000 a pretty decent amount so early on?

That's an amazing number; most series don't touch that amount for the first week in their entire run. For reference, it took Nisekoi 6 volumes to break into 6-digit opening week sales numbers.

Not as good as Assassination Classroom's 200K opening week, but that series was a total anomaly.

Yeah, pretty odd how I thought both Shokugeki no Soma and Assassination Classroom would be series that seemed to have great potential, but would be cast away by the dumb mainstream masses and their poor taste, yet they seem to be doing GREAT instead! grin Doesn't really seem like either of them have yet made particularly big waves with the western audience, but that's kind of to be expected, even for series that do well in the magazine.

So happy faces all around! I'm glad that it seems I'll get to see Soma's awesomely smug face for longer than I thought. One of those few characters that can LEGITIMATELY be called "swag" in it's original not-annoying-brat-on-facebook meaning. [lol]

I have a feeling that Souma's performance is being propelled by association with Morisaki (and, to a far lesser extent, tosh). Swap those two out for a less-known collaborator and a less-skilled artist to work with the writer (whose only other work was axed after two volumes) and it probably wouldn't have taken off.

Well it goes without saying that the art is clearly one of the biggest selling points of this series. Making stuff for WSJ is a "go big or go home" business.

Got interested and started reading Shokugeki no Soma.

Amazing reactions to the food porn.

That counts as acting cool? Most of them seem like typical Japanese humility.

Hey, lookit Hungry Joker dig it's way out of the hole! Sure, it's mostly just beating the bottom feeders, but it's still a lot better than it was doing.

And considering what seems to be happening to Kiruko, this happened at exactly the right time for it.

Wait, now Medaka Box is ending? Like, legitimately this time? Wow, after the last arc's fake-out of a finale I figured it still had some life in it. Guess not.

Good to see Hungry Joker pick up the slack a bit. It's pacing could be better (it's actually too fast, believe it or not), but I personally think it's got a lot of potential.

EDIT: How do we still not have a trope page for Hungry Joker, when Taka-whogivesashit managed to scrap together one?

Well, the latest arc of Medaka Box is literally nothing more than an elaborate send-off to all its characters, so I'd imagine Nisio knew it was ending soon and decided to throw in this last mini-arc to end it on his own terms. It's really no surprise to me that it's really ending, although I was open to a plot twist.

Takawhachamacallit appeared in an official English edition. Hungry Joker will need a brave soul to find a way to perfectly legally read the manga and build the page.

[up][up] Hopefully they don't crank up the sexism even more then in Bakuman.

Even if I'm not as much as an up in arms, overly dramatic asshat about it like a lot of other people can be, Even I found the sexism in that series extremely blatant and jarring.

I seriously don't get the sexism claims about Bakuman. Kaya stays at home, thus it's sexist? Oh freaking PLEASE. There was no sexist "submissive housewife" shit going on.

Miho was an underdeveloped, boring character, but there was nothing sexist about her either. Bakuman is far less sexist than most moetits series.

Brainblow, Shota, so as not to derail this thread, check out the "Sexism in Anime" thread, where we discussed the sexism in Bakuman rather extensively. (tldr: Yes, it's there, I was able to forgive it because of the manga business insider stories and fun supporting cast, other people weren't.)

I would certainly be interested in seeing the duo's new product.
