DTL runs jump now.
Also women apparently don't exist in the Naruto universe now.

World Trigger starts this week in WSJ correct? That means it's the first manga in history to be officially released both in Japan and US from chapter 1 day 1. Pretty crazy to think about.

Both mangaka use the same tactic. When they can't come up with something decent, they just throw some tits in it and everything is forgotten.

About the only time that an F is rejoiced.

True, true.
I wonder if we'll get it in Europe at some point, that would be pretty exciting.
I'm ready to subscribe to it.

Serious question Beam...would you honestly say you think Bleach is the, or one of the, best manga of all time?

Bah, you cliffhangers.
This was definitely a direction I didn't expect the series to go though.

I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand I want fan translations to pop up so I can read it, but on the other hand it'll be pretty good on WSJ's resume to have a series without any fan effort on it (that they pretty much prevented, nonetheless), and that could help get subscribers.

If the series attains any popularity at all then there will be scans of it one way or another.

I don't hate either Naruto or Bleach. They're hardly what I'd call "good" but they did enough of a good job investing me in the characters/story I still read them. I'm not really expecting deep intricate plots (that a baka gaijin like you wouldn't understand)

I wonder, considering that this will be released simultaneously isn't it possible for the US to get volumes of World Trigger around the same time as Japan does? I wonder if it could create a scenario where the series survives due to US sales and interest instead of simply fading out.
I don't hate it either. If I hated it I would stop reading. Its my least favourite of the Big Three though and I think its funny that Mangaf will back and forth about the quality of Bleach or One Piece but nobody ever steps up to defend Naruto haha.

It's mean to ignore DTL.
Cross Manage will survive as long as Jump can't get a sports manga to replace it (especially now that Kurogane's gone). And for a sports manga to replace it, that sports manga first needs to stabilize (which means Cross Manage will probably at least survive for 1 more term after something new is serialized).
I think the April batch is on average the biggest so more series are in danger. We'll see, I guess.
If animeland is any indication then yeah. But I'm not gonna read any official scans through unofficial channels, even if I'm blocked from the normal means.
Maybe.
I know for volumes, Viz also translates the sound effects into English, instead of just putting a small English word on the side. So that could cause delays.
I think Naruto would work better if it wasn't weekly release.
Also I still enjoy it. Guilty pleasure.
There's also all the bonus content in volumes that they can't really start on translating before the volume releases in Japan (like SBS and all that).

True, but normally viz gets a manga with 0% translated unless they use fan translations as a start (lol), now they'll pick up a volume and the majority of the content is already done.

When does viz release their weekly shonen jump series volumes with bonus content? I thought only their monthly series and etc got that treatment. Naruto/Bleach/Bakuman get no bonus contents.
You're not even subtle about it now.
Too true. Stat a cool dude in general, but compared to Beam...
Then isn't Haikyu's popularity enough to kill Cross Manage? Shueisha have been pushing it a lot, alongside Nisekoi.
They don't put the SBS in the One Piece volumes?
Anyways, I'm reading the first volume of Nodame Cantabile. That's pretty good so far, I really like Nodame.
That's not really how it works. If there's a really popular sports manga in Jump, then Jump will try and push more sports than usual, not less, because the popular manga attracts fans who'll appreciate more variety in the genre in the magazine. After Kuroko was the only one that could stick for so many years, now that they finally managed to get 3 going at the same time, they're not gonna just lose that.
I thought I was the only one who read. lol.
It's one of those "top new upcoming manga for 2013" bookstore manga ranking things, with Assassination Classroom in the top spot and Onepunch-Man at #9.

They do have the SBS in One Piece. I'm not sure what DTL is saying.

They could always cancel Food Smut
Only if replaced by better smut.
OTL with a lobotomy, apparently.
It actually had a good debut ranking.
I could get used to you being so tsundere for Food Smut. It's pretty amusing.
(DTL don't click this, spoilers!!)
Is it bad that when I looked at the definition, the first thing that popped to my mind was this scene in HxH?
Nodame Cantabile is great. One of my favorite manga.
The anime and live-action drama are pretty good too. It's also nice to hear the music.

Finally caught up, really good series, though it seems that all the non summer b + ango/ryo groups are about to converge together. Really interesting to see where the plot will go from here, seems like the story could be getting close to the end.
Guess I need to pick up another series, I'm thinking about either Black Cat (know nothing about and never seen) or Shaman King (seen most of the dubbed anime, know general gist of how manga ends). Thoughts, suggestions?

I mean, there's nothing wrong with Iron Chef the Manga, but c'mon
Well there's a reason the new Iron Chef moved to more pretty boys for their cast like:
And:
Fanservice + food = win!

The number of people who read Naruto/Bleach on GAF is a significantly larger figure than the people who post in the Manga thread (just read one of the anime threads for either series and look at the number of people who state that they read it every week). I can think of a lot of reasons they don't post here and defend it (i.e. everyone constantly complains every single week that Bleach and Naruto are the suckiest things that ever did suck, so why would someone who likes either series without reservations post about it here?)

Sensei's Big Throbbing Bulge end
Why are Shueisha such assholes with cancelling stuff?

Still wish that Oumagadoki Doubutsuen was still running. First that, then Sensei no Bulge. Kōhei Horikoshi needs more love.
