I'm hoping for trolling with Aizen as well but I think even Kubo will figure out a way to suck the fun out of everything.

That's how jaded I am about Kubo, Just in it for the art at this point + Aizen trolling.

Is Reiroukan Still Alive? END
This could have gone longer. too short but otherwise, a good read.
 
You sure its Dressrosa because i don't remember ever hearing anything about that, hell the name was known mostly due to Puppet String Guy being revealed to "rule" there (unless you meant hype for him specifically).

Or might be confusing it for Fishman island becuase that was hyped for a while and ended up being fodder since the Strawhats just got a timeskip powerup

I mean hype for Doflamingo himself.
I guess we haven't, but are about to see if he pays off

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The plot in Bleach hasn't made any sense since Aizen left, so maybe it was all a big mind-fuck by him.

Seriously - try and describe the plot from the Fullbringers Arc to right now.
 
Did Sporting Salt manage to obtain the record for worst performing WSJ series in history?

never forget Tokyo Wonder Boys :(

I wonder if there will be a new season of the Anime.
The Anime was amazingly produced, hope the sales were decent enough.

Have you not watched the Nekoma OVA yet? Its so good. Ive been needing Lev animated. S2 needs to hurry!

I didn't read it but a friend told me about all the weird shit that went on so I'm glad I skipped it!

One Piece is still good, but the format that Oda adheres to is terrible, and probably the reason why he has to go on so many breaks. There's no reason why entire chapters should be devoted to side characters fighting. So many different things shouldnt be happening at the same time either. (Zoro was literally fighting against the same enemy for months because Oda switching between viewpoints) The lack of focus on the other SH has been sucktastic as well.

He really needs to start finishing his plate.
 
Yes and no. She is, but she's in self-imposed Erina exile due to losing in the tournament (which Erina already has established she doesn't care about at all). This is basically a character development arc for Hishoko.

hmm hope she will tone down her Erina worshipping for a bit then, especially since Erina seems to not care about what happened (and i mean in a good way before all the "Erina is awful" posts :D ). Also she should improve like the rest of them.

I mean hype for Doflamingo himself.

Yea he was hyped or at least his appearances hinted at him being a major player (his crazy high bounty at the time of his reveal and the whole thing about bounties being frozen due to shibukai/warlord status as examples).

We'll see though (honestly i'm waiting for the arc to be done first :p)

Gotta get Beam for that :p

Also this entire point being a mind-fuck by him would be fucking great in how fucking ridiculous that would be (and i imagine the reactions for both the characters and readers alike) lol
 
I want to see more world wonders in OP

I love world building so staying at the same spot all day is boring to me


World Building for me is > then Characters even when they're all in one place.... it can over stay its welcome like Naruto's war arc



Oda's MarineFord arc wasn't overly long plus a majority of these people we were seeing fight for the first time so it kept it fresh

Seems like Erina and Tadokoro get along pretty well. Presumably because they're the same character and defer to her in the same way.

I'm kind of hoping once we see someone higher in the ranks than Erina we'll see her put in her place a bit. Having her be God of Cooking and nobody better is a little boring. She's supposed to be a rival character, not the end boss. I mean, I don't know, maybe she's gonna pull a Gary Oak and be like, "sorry I beat the No. 1 of the Elite Four Ten before you did," but at least he was presented as more of a rival the entire time.

Bro your fucked, just cry and stay in the fetal position.

Sadly seems none of the last batch of Jump series will survive with both of them taking the bottom two spots. On the other hand the US Jump curse continues with Gakkyuu Houtei!

I've come to the conclusion that i started to hate One Piece the moment they dropped the 1vs1 battles formula, even this one of Zoro vs Mountain guy is not a proper 1vs1 but rather a couple of attacks each other in the middle of chaos.

But the one that matters has already beaten her lol :p.

Seriously though is the situation that bad when the MC is already a Gary Stu and the story needs to make up weak reasons on why he's considered "not good".

Seems par for the course tbh

Welp.

I believe it.

Law's dead.

Can't say I'm really surprised.

Since killing off the 2nd most popular character off screen tends to always happen.
 
Remember that this chapter also showed us that the Dwarf Princess is holding on to her powers of healing since Kyros told her not to waste it as it can only be used for a limited time
I can see Law getting fixed up by her and his power interating at the same time
 
Yea he was hyped or at least his appearances hinted at him being a major player (his crazy high bounty at the time of his reveal and the whole thing about bounties being frozen due to shibukai/warlord status as examples).

Add onto that his very early introduction, the third Shichibukai introduced (I think) on Jaya, yet him being the last of the original Shichibukai Luffy meets, he has had a huge reputation that has built up for like, a decade.
 
How bad did it perform? The art looks better than Sporting Salt's at least.

Lasted just enough for one volume. I think it started literally at the bottom and never got anywhere away from it.

The art also looked baddddd and using nothing but soccer terms didn't help

The grand prize is her mouth!

Also, this is a jazzy cover.

Consensus?

Winner winner chicken dinner.
though that lovecraft like thing from bleach sure came out of nowhere.

Is that you Guy Fieri?

Mozuya-san Gyakujousuru 11

Mozuya's distrust is hitting critical mass again. Come back soon Bantarou, she's bawling her eyes out.

Oh wow, there are 58 chapters of this series? That's a lot of text man

Should I read this? I love text heavy stories cause it just adds more to the depth of the series, if done correctly of course.

It got killed in the quickest time Jump kills a new manga (10 chapters), and the 3 weeks it got ranked it placed last.

10 chapters? That's kind of impressive. Must be some supreme horseshit if even Sporting Salt & co managed to outlast it.

Only read the first chapter (it was not redrawn and probably not great translation), it seemed like pile of shit. It was surprising that the editors at Jump even let it out in the state it was in.
 
It seems to me that it's possible for 2 of the new Jump Start series to survive. I'm really curious on which series won't get axed.

Also I'm still suprised to this day on how World Trigger never got axed because to me it seems like a series that's just bland.

Maybe it got interesting.

Eh, I'm still not that interested in the objectives of the Esteemed Council of Shadowy Chairs. Maybe if they took some personality supplements or something. Give them to Neko too while you're at it.

It looked pretty ugly. It was clogged with soccer terms that your average Jump reader wouldn't get.

Jump was probably desperate to get something to fill the sports/fujoishi void Kuroko Basketball left. ~_~

Wow, I haven't goosebumps like this in a while,
Luffy screaming Doffy's name after defeating Bellamy the same way he did before going to Skypiea
. Doflamingo makes a great villian, I highly doubt
he killed Law, he's probably knocked out. However, if he is dead, Luffy will be going in like a raging bull and that's what Doflamingo wants.

The same thing happened to me with Dragonball to be honest. The entire last arc and the ending was super disappointing and I try to put it out of my mind whenever I re-read or re-watch the show. It's just not good and you can tell Akira Toriyama was just throwing out ideas due to editor pressure.

At least Buu saga was more interesting to read than watch. A lot of throwbacks to enjoy along with a return of comedy.

But yeah, you could tell he was just BSing his way once the tournament portion was over.

And it still somehow managed to get a debut? I'll never understand how the screening process works.

The cover for Jump scored higher in the reader surveys than the first issue of Tokyo Wonder Boys.

Hahahaha

Admittedly I liked up to the tournament part but after that? Nope.

I think you should. It's more the subject matter that appeals to me. The main character is a professionally diagnosed tsundere, and in this story that's a genuine mental illness.

This isn't mere "B-baka" tsundere, she stomps and hospitalizes a kid!

She also slowly falls in love with a chubby nice kid who kinda looks like Bobby Hill

lol this sounds like exploring the meta within the meta of mangas

Edit:

There's only 11 chapters out ;_;
