I actually looked at the most recent rankings for WSS:

Saigo wa? Straight!!
Gin no Saji
Magi
Joujuu Senjin!! Mushibugyo
Anagle Mole
Chiisai Hito (CP)
Kyoukai no Rinne
Pokemon ReBurst
Buyuden
Denpa Kyoushi (CP)
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai
Be Blues!
Meitantei Conan
Hayate no Gotoku!
Saijou no Meii
Gekko Jorei
Zettai Karen Children
Osumojii! Tsukasa no Ikkan
Arata Kangatari
Sengoku Yatagarasu

Although WSS isn't nearly as rankings obsessed as WSJ, if you actually look at it, TWGOK isn't even ranked all that high (I don't even think TWGOK is licensed). I've actually heard WSS is in some financial trouble due to dwindling subscription numbers.

My understanding is that WSM doesn't provide rankings at all - in reality, there are no "rankings" in any magazine, they just tend to be printed in the order of popularity.

I think it was ranked #1 a few weeks ago.

This is the most recent week (I used the one before that since Silver Spoon wasn't in it):

Meitantei Conan
Hayate no Gotoku!
Gan☆Kon (CP)
Joujuu Senjin!! Mushibugyo
Buyuden
Pokemon ReBurst
Saijou no Meii
Magi
Zettai Karen Children
Kyoukai no Rinne
Denpa Kyoushi
Anagle Mole
Be Blues!
Hajimete no Aku
Arata Kangatari
Gekko Jorei
Chiisai Hito
Osumojii! Tsukasa no Ikkan
Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai
Saigo wa? Straight!!
Koutetsu no Hanappas

But again, my understanding is that rankings are a lot less meaningful in non-WSJ magazines.

They do like 150k average. I dunno the economics of manga sales, but it seems high enough to sustain itself.

If WSS loses Detective Conan they are financially ruined. The only potential manga they got to climb the ladder is Silver Spoon and that's a short manga. There is TWGOK but I think it's past its prime in growth especially after already having two seasons of anime.

I find it funny that I can only recognize 3 manga from WSS and like only 4 manga from Shonen. Shows how much of my shounen reading is concentrated on WSJ manga.

Alright fuck it. Nozoki Ana is dropped. Not gonna put up with mindless manga sex.
Click to expand...
Just read Velvet Kiss. It will replace the mindless with ridiculous. I see it as an improvement.
 
I think we're all a little on edge because we didn't get our Naruto fix.

:P

But seriously Beam I think you're making a big deal out of nothing really. Thats great if you love Bleach and have a passion for it, but don't lord it over everyone's head and claim that one manga (snicker) is better than an other.

(to be damn honest, I think Bleach is the weakest out of the big 3 though, thats just my personal opinion)

I don't read Naruto so I just watch everyone balance on edge while I read romantic comedies. It's good times.

This is a legit manga? I could have swear I saw it on.. nvm

Thanks for the mention. I will read it soon.
Click to expand...
Well TBH it was more one of my gag recommendations (I really should stop doing that). But now that I think about it, check it out. It has the risqué of Nozoki Ana but a fraction of the stupid. It actually might have some story behind it but we haven't gotten that far yet. So far the plot is ridiculous and with all the sex scenes it is tough to get progression.
 
So, looks like Wakaki really is going to go through with this.

INTERESTING.

It's serious in the sense of Virgin na Kankei is, though I've only read a few chapters of both of them. It uh ... it goes down the fucking route pretty fast and hard.

There's a no pun intended somewhere in that.
 
I'm more interested in seeing the former jinchuriki's in action. Killer Bee definitely has a few words to say to Yugito for sure.

Oh and i hope the 5 kages get wrecked, because Madara seriously needs the hype (he has the fucking Rinnegan x_x)
 
I think I'll take a break from TWGOK for about a year. Kinda getting bored now and having a good number of chapters to read should help.

How is it one of worst written? Sure, there's been some questionable developments but the narrative make sense overall. The manga has been sci-fi since Chapter 1 and the GC stuff is just a (mostly) natural progression of that.
Sora is a great antagonist.
That already makes Air Gear better than half the shonen stuff out there.

Time loop confirmed?
 
Magico continues to showcase the best magic powers ever. The shiratori power was awesome.

TWGOK

Whoa, he really messed up. I can't really see a way out of this outside of either 1) confessing everything to Ayumi or 2) making her think he did it for a really good noble reason.

It could be a combination of the 2 also.

Cage of Eden

Mariya being boss. Goddamn, this guy sometimes.

This guy sometimes.

Nurarihyon

...whoa.

that was pretty crazy

I really wonder if the "hole in the heart" scenario would popup again and she gets possessed by a really powerful spirit (aka greater than the one that was
Yui or Hinoki
)

I think infinite justice is on to something here. I think Keima will have to apologize at some point to chihiro, and a dramatic way to do that is to get chihiro possessed again. Ayumi also is not going to just hear whatever excuse Keima make before Keima deal with Chihiro.
 
Well whatever happens I don't think it'll be anything "mainstream" like a dramatic apology in an action scene. TWGOK lives on going exactly the opposite way of those scenarios.

Virgin na kankei serious? lol, The MC is the worst scum I ever met apart from Makoto. Velvet Kiss is way more better.

Totally forgotten about that sideplot and it's possible. It's been a long damn while ever since this whole goddess searching arc started.
 
TWGOK

Had to reread that, could swear he got kicked in the nads.

Oh well, the side is fine too.


On that note, angry Ayumi looks pretty dark cool, that expression suits her hahahah.
 
One Piece Spoilers

Ch. 647: Noah Has Stopped
cover: Skypeia, Lucky and Conis' Pumpkin Cafe, specialty: pumpkin (kabocha) noodles

NFP leaders are defeated, people celebrate for a bit.
But Noah's still falling from above.
Folks cheer on Luffy.
Luffy's still hammering on Noah with Elephant Gatling.

Oh, King Neptune apologizes to Joyboy about breaking the promise of Noah.

Oh! Luffy stops attacking when he hears a mysterious voice.

Shirahoshi also came by to help.
Shirahoshi: "The Noah... has stopped."
Luffy collapses (probably because of fatigue).
Shirahoshi called the Sea Kings. They're having a conversation with her. They say that Luffy is an amazing person.
Thanks to Luffy's efforts to protect the island, Shirahoshi was able to summon the strength to call the Sea Kings.

Noah is partially destroyed, but still mainly intact.
Everyone's celebrating.

End

maybe it'll end up Ukitake is his Dad (they do share a resemblance) or something, thus also explaining why he hates Ichigo's dad. He has daddy issues and hates shinigami who conceive.

Either way it opens up that stupid plot hole revisionist twist shit Kubo is always pulling if Ukitake just forgot to mention all this.

Why couldnt Bleach have just ended with Aizen! I'd be free of this curse!!
 
:O

Makes sense. Ukitake is the sole person that gave Ichigo the Shinigami badge, and we hadn't heard of it from anyone else in SS.
 
What i am wondering about if it was Ukitake plan to fuck over Ichigo.
Then the commander mess him up by giving Ichigo his powers back.

Has to be something more to it will wait for chapter .
 
Toriko 165

Damn, Livebearer just keeps getting creepier.


Naruto Spoilers

Getting that hit on his head was just for effect. Not one scratch/crack was left on him.

The fight against the other Jinchuuriki begins.

The jinchuuriki each have one eye with Sharingan and one eye with Rinnegan.

The masked Madara's mask is a special kind; a sturdy one for fighting. And though it's hidden at first, the left eye of the masked Madara also has Rinnegan

Madara says: "Tobi, Madara...call me whatever"

After Madara and Naruto's talk, the issue ends with all the Jinchuuriki unleashing the power of their bijuu.

Uhm, I'm probably pretty late on this but... Gomu Gomu Red Hawk... is that a result of Luffy's training or could it have to do something with Ace?
