One Piece was number 2 on the list the week before... which was before it officially came out lol

Ridiculous. BTW, how did it sell like 135k or so before it officially came out?

Who knows, but as you can tell from other Jump series numbers it happened to them as well (though not 135K, 40K for Assclass and a few K for the rest).
Distribution is earlier than release date, I suppose stores might be allowed to sell as soon as they get the volumes considering its a collection of already released chapters.
Ah, I forgot Spanish speakers also used that name!
Let's not compare Fuuka with KNIM. Fukka has one big drama event, A Town where you Rage is nothing but infuriating drama events! It's great.

Ineffective.

I never received the English release for The Rising of the Shield Hero manga, but recently the first volume was released in Italy, so I grabbed it and after reading it I decided to finally sit down and give a read to the LN I had lying around.
After reading the first 3 volumes I came to the conclusion that while the story is interesting, the writing can get confusing (and the somewhat lackluster QA work done doesn't help when they use the wrong character's name) and everyone is a bit of... a cretin. How much more shitty plots to frame the Shield Hero will I have to witness? How can those cretins even believe such blatant lies? The characters feel more like caricatures rather than believable people.
Granted, I'll keep reading because I'm invested in wanting to know why Trash and Bitch and the Church went to such lengths to frame Naofumi and I'd like to see a real comeuppance happen, but I also hope that we're done with little girls joining the party.

lol I do agree that Carol is too unreal... just pure sunshine beaming that it hurts (with of course ulterior motives)
if she was a desert you'd probably get immediate cavities and also later diabetes

Another girl? Goodness this dude literally needs to keep his junk in the trunk

Jitsu Wa Watashi Pervert 120
Completely okay with Pervert Ending.
Jitsu wa has to be one of the only manga that can introduce new characters like after 100 chapters and I'm like "Yo, sure, bring em on" because they're funny as hell. The 1st year succubus is hilarious and her competitions with Yoko or Ninja Love-fool are unrealistically funny.

I think Aizawa should realize her inner pervert strength. Even the great charismatic pervert recognized her.
Seriously. I'd be perfectly fine with more chapters focused on the 1st years.

Doujinshi as a genre is so vast that it's kind of a shame to forsake all of them.
Have you tried reading Dating a Team Magma Grunt?
Huehuehue
Once Attack on Titan dreamt of dethroning One Piece.
It was a hilarious dream.
Yeah, it's pretty much revenge porn, and the absurd pettiness displayed by all parties (but mainly the antagonists' side, because hey, you gotta side with the Shield Hero y'know?) make it hard to take seriously. Still more entertaining than the vast majority of LNs however.
Ok, you win sexual doujins are a no go
I already read it, too bad the autor got called for the military
Aw, but some of them are super interesting! Like ShindoL, or Asanagi, or Q!
Who knew social anxiety could be this adorable.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6 - Stone Ocean, kind of
Actually, I'm not even close to being done with this, but I just want to note how much difficulty I'm having following some of these fights. It doesn't help that some of the stand powers seem to have gotten really out there, but some of these resolutions are getting to be borderline baffling to me. I am appreciating the fact that we're finally getting more women in the main cast though, and I can only hope we stay this way.
Speaking of, I think this is the first time I've read a shounen jump comic with a woman who is both the protagonist and (I think?) the viewpoint character.

Part 6 is the peak of weird stands, while they never go down to part 3's elemental and I can slash type in later parts. They are much more sane then what is part 6 stands........and if your early in then you haven't seen how weird they get.
Bakuman END
I'm just gonna say that this manga had quite a lot of issues, but it's still one that had enough hooks & good moments to make it a moderately entertaining read throughout. Not something I would readily recommend to anyone & everyone, but it's also not even close to being so bad that I'd actively try to turn people away from it. One of those "you might maybe perhaps consider this, but be aware of this and that" recommendations at most.

Yeah, the Stands really got out of hand in Part 6, but at least it gave some pretty creative fights.
Jolyne is awesome. Really wish there were more parts that feature female protagonists.

So Jirou is offed that easily? Neo has such deus ex machina. Although at least the author is making me dislike this villain. I am looking forward to him getting crushed and hope it lasts more than one chapter.

Bleach
Each time I read this and I think to my self "How dumber can this get?". Reading Bleach is like reading Keijo but without the comedy.

I have enough super interesting things with To Love Ru Darkness thanks, Shindol is off limits for life after that zelda doujin *shudder*
Not all of ShindoL is that extreme though. You should totes read Fragile and Tough and Barrier Free.
They're certainly creative, but there's also the occasional part where I just accept that the characters did a thing they say they did and move on. I just read the Limp Bizkit part and...I'm not really sure what just happened, so I'm guessing I'm not going to do so well with the rest of this. One of the characters suddenly became a man too, so that's also something.
I was just thinking that I haven't really seen many female characters like Jolyne or Hermes in other manga. They're a lot more crude and unrestrained, but I suppose the prison setting helps with this.
Haha, it's pretty safe to say that most of us did the same. If it's any consolation, the following part tones down significantly on the craziness.
I found the protagonists' relative crudeness pretty refreshing, compared to the stereotypical portrayal of female characters. A shame so few series do this.

The quincies are pretty terrible villains, and Zaraki getting squished was pathetic.

Also it seems the Black Beard vs Rev army showdown has ended.... hopefully no sad BS occurs with Dragons, Koala or Sabos death

lmao Azami's aim is so comically I AM EVIL; he wants to close down every restaurant that doesn't meet his standards including regular random poor people restaurants (he mentions the Stagiare restaurant). Because I'm sure the local deli is going to close down because the director of some cooking school demanded it. This is a absurdly nonsensical goal and for some reason Erina and Hisako aren't stopping Soma which is dumb because he's going to lose. Tsukuda please avoid the shark because this is heading right for it.
