All Might has been foreshadowing his own death since the beginning.
He wanted to pass the flame on and before his flame goes out he wanted to take care of old business.
That All Might was going to die was clear since the first chapter i just think it's too soon, the character is barely characterized... (pun not intended)
Im all in for One Piece being the King of everything but this time the title belongs to Fairy Tail

That's Fairy tail, besides which, when has One Piece ever had a character get stronger simply through "friendship"

im re reading one pice after a long hiatus starting with chapter one and my opinion is still the same. One piece is the perfect mainstream battle shonen manga, if you want to be successful you have to be able to emulate and improve upon it on some degree. It presents itself with the usual shonen tropes but it does it with emotion and character you wouldnt find in any shonen manga.
now long winded opinion is done, i still hate naruto
Perfect in the same sentence as one piece is very offensive. BLack Clover and World Trigger are much better than it.

Not to dogpile, but Fairy Tail is the true king of that trope

Poison Princess 1-36 (END)
It's been too long since I last read any Mitsukazu Mihara. Her manga's biggest selling point for me is usually the strong gothic ambiance, but that was largely missing from this one outside of a few character designs. Thankfully its absence was more than compensated for by the engaging story, which revolved around a really interesting premise - young girls who are raised to eat, drink and sleep poison, to gradually turn them into 'poison princesses' who cause sickness and death through close contact.
The heroine is one such princess who is sent on a botched assassination mission, consequently becoming a prisoner of the targeted kingdom. There's entertaining political shenanigans aplenty, with enough twists and turns to hold your attention, and culminating in a tragic and touching endgame. While I have a few grumblings about the setting and some of the action scenes, overall it might be my favourite work I've read from her.
Also I love her female character designs. I suspect I'd read more josei if their leads looked like this:

Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
FT is predictable enough you can almost always tell if a character is going to do a heel-face turn - its as simple as whether the opponent is cool and/or hot. If both, its a 100% chance.
I mean, their first ultra powerful Spriggan Whatever opponent was that ultra-powerful sexy sorceress lady, who turned into Lucy's servant within like 20 chapters.
even in the movie hinata has no boobs
oh right,i forgot about that, it was only in the anime.

Nice lighthearted 4-koma comedy.

Interesting bundle as a way to start a bunch of series. Also interesting that despite the pay what you want tier, it's selling very slowly.

Hinata's boobs are pretty much the only reason to read Naruto. They've shot themselves in the foot with this one.

Yeah, that never happened.
Even at Naruto's peak, it was still not on par with One Piece or Hunter x Hunter (while it wasn't on hiatus). Not to mention a variety of other titles.
I can't think of a single period of time where Naruto was the best title in Jump. It's rare that it was even #2.

Boku no X-Men Academia 1-7
this art style is so unusually odd. The use of hard angles and shadows, can't say i've ever seen something similar to it in other manga.
Story is pretty bog-standard so far.

the art in bokuhero is the best part. i love horikoshi's style
it's great for splash. i just wish it was a little clearer in action scenes and layout. It can get very messy because he fills everything with the same level of detail instead of naturally drawing the eye in certain directions.

Art's what i'm enjoying the most, won't lie.
Also absolutely adore how the author had to push through with All Might's design after negative feedback from...ehm... everybody. Love that both of his designs clash so intensely with the rest of the art

Just from the top of my head around the time OP had the superlame fishmen island and later with the other uberlame Ceasar arc Naruto was having pretty great moments like the reconciliation with Kurama and Orochimaru's Edo Tensei of the first four Hokages.
I'm sure if i was given a timetable of what happened in what manga i could give you lots of other examples when Naruto was above One Piece.

While I would agree that the Fishman Island arc was around the low point for One Piece, looking up publication dates, I think that was right around the climax of the chimera ants arc in Hunter x Hunter, and Kuroko was definitely way better than Naruto at the time, too.

Man, that ain't selling for shit. Kinda sad.
Was telling a friend about Vinland Saga the other day though, know he'd be interested in this.

I must be a weirdo or easy to please but every time someone's like "the manga has a rough start" or "it started out so generic" or "I almost dropped it at the beginning" I'm always confused and like...Boku no Hero was good from the start. It wasn't Chapter 1 AMAZING BEST MANGA EVER but it was entertaining, had funny and cool characters and powers and nice art. Like...I enjoyed it and found it a good manga from Chapter 1. It got better as it went on but it was never rote or boring.

It never really got its hooks into me. Whether it was the setting, the writing, or the characters. To each his own.

Naruto is much better than One Piece imo. But HxH is godtier.
I have to say that I prefer Naruto start than HXH. Except for Hisoka obviously.
My preferences right now on jump.
BNHA >= HxH > WT > SnS > KNY >= BL
Dropped:
Nisekoi, One Piece and Bleach.
Neither of those moments (in Naruto) were great moments For them to be "great" there has to be some form of build-up or levity to them that carries them to become a great moment. In the final arc of Naruto, stuff was literally happening for the very reason that it could happen, not because it should happen. This also applies largely to Kurama's character arc as well, in which out of nowhere Kishimoto decided that the audience has to love the Nine-Tails just as much as they do the titular character by showcasing him in a more sympathetic light, despite no build up or established character arcs that made the character shift actually make any sense. Naruto as a manga series never explicitly, or implicitly shows any sort of actual character development, which is a huge problem with a series that is entirely driven by it's characters.

I prefer Fishman Island and Punk Hazard to the pure fuckery that was the entirety of the Fourth Great Shinobi War.
I find My Hero Academia to be kinda boring. I'd attribute it to the direction and the main character. After 2 volumes, I still hold the same opinion and the only reason I'm getting the third one is because I hold some curiosity over how the current events are going to end.
I find the art to be average with some interesting character ideas, but nothing to write home about.
