Shonen Jump ToC Rankings

Magu chan is definitely very good start so if it continues definitely on top three with mashle and spy x family even if I'm confused of which is in which magazine or online only

Even accounting for One Piece and My Hero Academia's absence, that's higher than usual, isn't it?

We hope Kimetsu, Neverland, & Haikyu may be over they all still have anime adaptations that are far from over giving them each a ton of extended shelf life.

So Jump essentially has 3 or so years to build up the new series as proper replacements for the epic sales numbers the 3 ended series creates.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

If it is even possible really.

I mean, ye can't really expect every new comic to have record seller numbers :p

I mean, they're Jump. Chances are they'll find a hit. At this point they're pretty much the main shounen magazine of Japan.

Secret Signature

Aw, it's a bit of a shame: Haikyuu's end was clearly planned to coincide with the 2020 Olympics. If only...

Ayakashi Triangle introduced a rival character who has a really strong design. This was definitely the most action-packed chapter since the first, though it was mostly chase instead of a fi—wow, that is a very detailed crotch shot.

I would have thought that more of a Jump Square thing, but Chainsaw Man did have onscreen group sex.

No judgement, but I'm understanding Viz keeping it off the app more (even if I still think they're still way too permissive of violent compared to sex).

Fuuko continues to basically be increasingly the coolest female protag in Jump in a long while.

Provided the author doesn't totally drop the ball (has happened with more loved WSJ titles than I'd like), I wonder what like 200 chapters of character development will look like if this is what just 24 does.

-sigh- Lost passwords...

With Unmove showing up to nab the Naïve Newcomer slot she has no choice but to become badass to contrast him.

That's our US mores! laugh track

Dunno why they'd bother keeping it off the app when anyone can just access it on their phone browser. You don't even have to sign in to prove your age like with, e.g., Golden Kamuy.

That from where again?

App stores require age ratings, which will be the same for the entire app, and the Shonen Jump app is already rated "Teen". Websites can freely put a content warning on just certain parts of themselves.

Though like you said, it's odd no Ayakashi Triangle chapter has had age verification requirement.

Undead Unluck

Then it's probably more of an Apple/Google issue than a Viz issue.

Re: UndeadUnluck. Not sure if Fuuko has to be more of a badass. Her power is very difficult to use right (though powerful IF done right). Andy is already the team's main badass. Unmove has more straightforward power (though also more straightforward downsides). Essentially, Andy's the fighter, Unmove the support (can aid but not fight while he aids), and Fuuko the mage (highly situational but powerful unusual abilities. Which says something in a universe running on rule negation)

Magu-Chan has had one of the strongest beginnings to a manga I've read in a long time

4chan made a "white Knight" thread (the fictional manga in paradox ghostwriter) and it is the most hilarious thing ever

I absolutely cannot help but adore handsome 2D boys

"I swear to god if Anima surpasses White Knight I'm gonna kill the author. Screencap this." was the best comment by far.

I'm not talking superpowers, I'm talking personality. Fuuko's initial narrative role was the viewpoint everyperson who doesn't understand what's going on any more than the audience does. Now that role has passed to Unmove, showing that she's adapted to the violence and weirdness.

Oh like so. Yea, that makes sense. She can be more confident in her own role

There is an UU forum thread. Y'all could go there and discuss this and give the thread some love.

At first, I was impressed with the placement of Yozakura Family, but then I remembered it was very likely because One Piece and MHA were on break this week.

I think eight away from the bottom is still an improvement.

Manga Plus app has no next chapter info for Magu-Chan, hope it's just a weird mistake and not a problem with the Mangaka.

If so, I guess I picked the wrong day to make a Magu-chan: God of Destruction page.

Early reports of the ToC says Magu-chan still has a chapter this week.

…Damn, TPG is not doing good. Don’t do that, Japan.

Flippé de participer à ce grand souper, je veux juste m'occuper de taper mon propre tempo.
