So who would be able to re-read chapter 4 the same way? Huh?

It just got better

This retirement subplot is actually progressing. I guess something has to, since this fight and the actual story aren't going anywhere any time soon.

Hiramaru makes everything better. His awkward pursuit of Aoki being over makes me a bit sad.

 

[Lirlond]

Hiramaru!!!!!

HIRAMARU

Oh man that was so great.

This sales talk is pretty interesting. It's the first time they really ever go in details about how much each volume is selling. Zombie Gun is getting huge sales for no reason but whatever. Also that cover for Reversi really does suck. I wouldn't buy a manga with such a trashy cover art.

 

[Kreed]

Bakuman 160:

Nice chapter. If only Hiramaru could have ended the chapter vs Reversi and Zombie Gun sales (followed by "that fat character" dropping off the face of the earth).

I wonder what excuse they'll come up with for Reversi not selling well? Maybe they'll go the PCP route again with parents not liking Reversi? Or maybe Niizuma is doing something special with the Zombie Gun volumes?

As everyone else has said so far, amazing and sweet chapter. Hiramaru is so god-damn lucky. I also just learned that he's voiced by Masakazu Morita in the anime, a fantastic casting choice.

 

[AlphaDragoon]

No one likes Medaka. The early chapters build up this resentment of her character, which is entirely intentional!

Funny thing is, I don't hate Medaka. Like, at all. It's funny to me that Nishio made a "typical shounen heroine" who really isn't and is godmodded to high hell. Given how the whole series seems to be parody of different manga genres, I'm guessing he specifically made her unstoppable and top tier from the beginning as opposed to losing fights and growing stronger for that very reason, to turn the shounen genre on its head a bit.

Edit: Lol Red hawk are gonna do it now. It's sort of funny.

I'm thinking it's something with demographics. Like the ones that vote on these rankings like Reversi more but Zombie Gun has more fans that just straight up buy the volumes instead of bothering with the magazine.

I think Good Ending isn't long for this world given it's volume sales, though. Last I saw the last one pulled like 25K total.

great, another few weeks of ashitrogabage until the next hiramaru chapter.

 

[PK Gaming]

Since we probably won't be getting Shonen Jump this week, here's a prediction for the inevitable Naruto vs Sasuke confrontation.

Relevant.

Shouldnt be reading about the manga since I follow the anime, but Im glad to know Hiramaru still stays around in the series. I can only hope the anime keeps being renewed to get that far since he is pretty hilarious (and plot involving Aoki has always been nice).

I dont think Naruto would be in Sage Mode for that fight.

BLAME vol 2

I'm really having a hard time trying to understand what the hell is happening. I know the MC is looking for network genes or whatever, but I have no idea why or what the fuck does it even mean. I don't even know who he is fighting half of the times. He is just killing everyone he meets and the ones that he doesn't kill, get killed by some cyborgs or something.

I'm enjoying the fights and all, but I'm really lost.

Yeah, that's BLAME. Prepare to remain confused. Eventually, the little plot there is will start to click, but it's all very vague.

I finished the third volume a while ago. At least now I know the safeguards are the villains. I think they went over the governors but I really forgot who they were. I'm also surprised that this scientist girl that went along with him is still alive. Must be a record so far.

Naruto will become hokage, knock up some chick, die in the fight vs sauce, 9 tails will kill sauce then get sealed in naruto's unborn baby, timeskip into Naruto GT.

Medaka Box.

Manga, I quit you.

I for one look forward to ninja battles on motorcycles.

The new Konoha genin on motorcycles vs a resurected zombie kabuto piloting the madara tank would make a great final battle of the first big arc.

It seems that Tasogare Otome x Amnesia is getting an anime adaptation by Silver Link. I think few people here read the manga already.

I'm reading the manga soon so it's great it got an anime adaption. This, along with Sankarea will make spring season good.

 

[neoanarch]

Uchuuu Kyodai is getting an anime adaptation along with the already announced Live-Action adaptation. Slated for april.

Was Baka to Test a failure or something? I thought it was just the shitty source material.

I was going to read the manga till I realized not even the first volume was fully translated out of 15 volumes. I think I will just watch the anime and read the manga after.

i bet it'll be flash and shit like thermae romae animu.

Ugly shows. Take away the art from Tasogare and you get . . . a very average manga.

Meh the art was the best thing about it and that isn't going to carry over.

This on the other hand could be great.

Yep. I don't know how we're going to contain the rage between this and Kimi.

Bakuman is going solo too, incidentally.

Bah, you guys need to take it easy on the rage manga and do something cool instead. Something like Full Ahead! Coco.

According to the online magazine Cyzo, many of the staff of Shueisha have been anxious about the lack of hit titles that can support the company when One Piece ends in the future. The popularities of Naruto and Bleach have already reached the ceiling and the growths of the middle standing titles are sluggish.

Although executive director Torishima Kazuhiko stated in 2010 that there was an excessive number of manga magazines on the market, Shueisha has recently launched many new magazines: Girl's Jump, BLink, Aoharu, Miracle Jump, Grand Jump, Super Jump High, and Jump X. Torishima said Jump's origin is new serialization by rookie authors, yet they have invited Ninomiya Tomoko and Konari Misato from rival publishers to Jump X. One of the editors of Feel Young magazine complained that Shueisha has been trying to hire some popular mangaka away from their magazine. In order to survive the recession of publishing, Shueisha is beginning to take wild measures regardless of their principles.

I hope that NTR is next

With spectacular new manga like ST&RS and Kurogane, I can't see why they are not finding success.

Either way, One Piece GT is confirmed now

What is this published in?

This reference only works with anime series. Dragon Ball the manga was always called Dragon Ball, and Dragon Ball GT was an anime only series.

 

[smurfx]

i don't know why they are worried about one piece ending anytime soon. this manga will go on for 10+ years.

 

[Crash Station]

10 years to get another hit? I don't think that's asking for too much (though it might be with the declining population and all that).

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

 

[Averon]

There are so many plot threads left (Where is Aoikiji? What's the deal with Dragon? What about Vegapunk? What's the deal with the Void history? Where did Gekko Moriah disappear to? etc...) that OP can easily go another ten years with stuff still left over.

SJ: Oda, I don't care if your story is supposed to go on for another 10 years! Make it 20!

SJ: Kishimoto, I know it's looking like the end of your story, but fuck that! Throw in a plot twist and let's have another 10-15 years out of you!

SJ: Kubo, Kill off Ichigo and make Rukia or Hitsugaya your new protagonist, then change your plans and make it another 15 years!

Man...I wonder what the next big few manga are gonna be.
