Shonen Jump ToC Rankings

Alternatively, Japan could be a little more acceptive of immigrants: some of them are bound to be (or become) good artists for manga, like BOICHI in Dr. Stone.

But catering to a larger audience seems more feasible for them anyway.

Japan did fairly recently change it's laws to make immigration easier

That is for certain; the general reception from society, on the other hand... But I digress.

Some Oricon news for the recent volume releases (sales from March 3 to March 10):

• One Piece vol 92 sold 1,154,805 copies.
• Neverland vol 13 sold 270,697 + 61,842 special editions, so roughly 330k.
• Jujutsu Kaisen vol 4 sold 98,274 copies.
• Chainsawman vol 1 sold 25,518 copies, which is pretty damn good for a first volume. Hinomaru Zumou's latest volume sold 24k in its first week, to give you an idea.

Issue 16:

Front color: Black Clover (4th anniversary)
Center color: Kamio Yui wa Kami wo Yui (chapter 2), Dr. Stone, Act-Age
Not ranked: Saigo no Saiyuuki (chapter 3), Shishunki Renaissance! David-kun, Jimoto ga Japan

I think the Grim Reaper is already polishing his scythe for Neo and Higuma. Unless Food Wars ends very abruptly.

How are sales for both of them?

I think Higuma has an easy way to end the story if it gets axed now; not sure about neo.

Their first volumes are not out yet.

Meanwhile, Saiyuuki suddenly got pretty brutal; and in Kamio Yui, Black Yui shows a… less violently playful side.

Neo is doing an origin story, so they can follow up with a "take Beast down" story and call it a day if they have to.

and Higuma is suddenly up against the monster that killed his father and aunt, requiring him to become a warden.

Man at the rate it’s going Shokugeki might just end abruptly as all Hell.

Given the way Food Wars has been blitzing through matches that don't involve Soma, I don't think it'd be too horribly jarring if it had to suddenly wrap up the tournament.

How much notice can these series expect to tie everything up, anyway?

Ouch for Higuma and Ne 0 but this is understandable. We'll see for future chapter. And yes, despite Chainsaw sold like a hot-cake for its first volume, I'm still hoping that it would survive until later future especially the current rank rn

Nice to see Chainsaw Man is doing better and even selling well in the volume department. I'm also really liking The Last Saiyuki so far. I guess we're getting a resurgence of violent Shonen Jump manga.

>That moment you created a thread of a Shonen Jump manga and you're the only active person in there

I'm dying inside

Anyways, on topic... Great job on Chainsaw Man getting its color page!

And yeah, I'm going to revamp Jujutsu Kaisen page and create some entry pimps soon enough to make the series a bit well-known with TV Tropes community

Yui Kamio is not making a strong case for the title character needing to be mystically restrained. She did beat up the rich kids in the first chapter, but for the most part the issue seems to be other people going after her, and ain't nobody tying up their hair.

I'll be happy to join in the Jujutsu Kaisen discussion once the good people at Viz get around to uploading chapters 7-39.

Yeah, she's crazy strong but she doesn't seem particularly evil… There's a thread for Kamio Yui by the way.

@rikalous Makes sense... VIZ can be... Very late sometimes and I'm hoping the JJK thread will be a lot more active in the future.

Also, I'm glad I revamp the page of JJK but its still needs more love though :P

Edited by ElfenLiedFan90 on Mar 25th 2019 at 7:05:32 PM

You got your JJK, I got my Act-age. To each their own niche.

I feel for ye all.

Always a bit hard making threads for a still obscure series.

Ah yeah... I also saw you made Act-Age thread and I know how that feels man @Lyendith

And on second thought, let time take its course ofc so that both series will become a lot well known in later future. Who knows at the end of the day, we might still be lucky and both series will attract a lot of attention of Tv Tropes community.

And yeah, I wont gonna lie that I put most of the character tropes in JJK page because I have no idea what to put in terms of story tropes tbh but oh well :/

Hinomaru is uncharacteristically high up this week.

In Neolation, we see how Neo was lured into a life of crime. Healthcare Motivation. eta: updated trope.
