Does Kishimoto actually make more than Oda? I mean the only place Naruto is more popular than OnePiece is in the U.S, while the latter is more popular in Europe and far more in Japan. So I thought Oda made more than Kishi.

I'm not sure. I read about it a couple of years earlier, but I might have overestimated the overseas impact, and Oda might have surpassed him by now.

 

[TheRealTalker]

It is one of the best written series in the magazine. It can be wordy but all the cases have shocking reveals. Newest character, Sarutobi and main character Inugami are such a fantastic duo.

I hope it lasts long as the classroom killing case is vastly compelling and mysterious.

mmm interesting may check it out seeing as I tend to like detective like series

Periods sure are a pain.

I wonder how this'll continue after she gives birth to the baby (or if she'll give birth at all).

 

[Rhapsody]

And Takahashi has a money printing machine in Yu-Gi-Oh while Kishimoto and Naruto enjoy a bigger popularity overseas.

They still don't make as much as actors though.

Takahashi's lucky since they make so many shows and spinoffs and he doesn't even have to write them.

I wonder how much his share is though regarding the TCG since that can be iffy.

He still designs some of the main characters and he probably has some input on it.

Also found this quote, which was pretty funny:

Takahashi had promised himself that Yu-Gi-Oh! GX would be the last Yu-Gi-Oh! series. However, he was approached at the end of 2006 with the idea for Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. The production staff and TV board were long time associates and friends, who had spread Yu-Gi-Oh! to many people in the world, so Takahashi agreed, under the condition that this would be the last Yu-Gi-Oh! series. Despite this, 2 other series, Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL and Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V have been made.

A creying Ko was sad but the reason was on the funny side. Cant wait to see how he performs. Even if he can generate counters offensives, I cant imagine how he can handle the rainstorm with it. Also we need more battle series in rainstorms.

Yu-Gi-Oh after 5Ds became mediocre, that's one thing for sure. Matter of fact 5Ds was the best out of the whole Yu-Gi-Oh series. Had the best characters, atmosphere, and story, everything about it was great. Would of been the best place to stop the series, but then again they need the series to keep on running.

Yu-Gi-Oh after 5ds turned to shit, that's one thing for sure. Matter of fact 5Ds was the best out of the whole Yu-Gi-Oh series. Had the best characters, atmosphere, and story, everything about it was great.

What even? The first few episodes of 5D's have lacked energy and excitement that ARC-V brings to the series to make YGO on the same level as the current series in the upper echelon of best cardgame series. And Ill never forgive 5D's for disrupting the greatest showdown in the series with silly supernatural mess, I pray Jack Atlus and Yusei Fudo get to duel for reals in the future. And I also thought 5D's treats best femYGO character badly (Akiza Izinski) Though Im only up to ep5 and read quite a bit of the manga., but am current on Zexal and ARC-V.

Yuusha ga Shinda! Murabito no Ore ga Hotta Otoshiana ni Yuusha ga Ochita Kekka. 1-12

Another fantasy world about a hero, but this isn't based off a light novel nor is it about a teenager transported to another world. It's about a turnup farmer with a thigh fetish who accidentally kills the world's hero via his demon-trap (a pitfall). Afterwards he buries the body to hide his misdeeds, he awakens the next morning in the now rotting body of the hero and must begrudgingly save the world.

Soma's smile was really the only thing of note in the chapter. Dont really care much for everyone else bland development. Though if Tadokoro could rise and take Erina's assistant place, then it will be better for all.

I hope Soma gets a key character as his partner with Shinomiya.

Tokyo Ghoul:Re 20 Spoilers!

Spoiler

RIP Seidou Takizawa, you were a good man by heart. I hope you'll find redemption if you can that is.

Anyways what the living fuck did they do to Seidou. Aogiri must of tortured him for 3 fuckin years and starved him with human meat. Man I thought Kaneki had it rough, but this is one a whole new level. Man his Testament in the prequel hits me pretty hard because he said desperately he didn't want to die and he ended up getting his wish at the cost of turning into a Ghoul. This is full of irony, ain't even funny. Seriously out of all the characters, I have the most sympathy for Seidou. Like where the fuck has Amon been did he leave him there. Now I really am curious if Amon is really Floppy.

It seems Haise is being mentioned to have moments like Arima, heh. Also Mutsuki got stabbed by Kanae ahahaha. I think we are gonna get a Akira vs Hinami, I mean Akira is using the kagune of Hinami's father. Seriously poor Hinami. Also Naki and Miza looking badass and man do I love the look of Miza's kagune.

Ahahahahaha there's a Ghoul that looks like Pitbull.

Wow, I didn't know that. That's a little disappointing since I thought the designs for the main characters didn't have the same charm.

I only watched a bit of GX (never read it), but I heard the end got pretty good. Maybe I'll check it out sometime, but the original is still my favorite. It dragged on in Battle City, but it was still interesting for the most part. The way it ended was nice too, however an epilogue would've been good for the series. Also loved the beginning of the series. Just a bunch of weird games that make people go crazy or die. Also Kaiba Land was hilarious.

I think I saw a few episodes of Zexal, but none of 5Ds.

why are you still reading that

I assume everyone who bothers to read anything Seo makes is a masochist.

I am just one of those perfect combinations of curious cat and guy that has to finish anything he starts. Seeing MangaGAF of the old era getting all into it for the trainwreck got me curious and then when we hit THAT MOMENT™

Spoiler

spoilers: Tokyo

, it was like an atom bomb of hilarity for me personally.

For additional context, this was when the most recent chapters were everything around the tail end of that arc and it was updating weekly.

Sounds like everyone is on a Dowman Sayman bent lately, so I figured I should join in on the fun.

Paraiso 1, 2, 49, 50, 51

Dowman Sayman has "what the fuck am I reading" down to a fine science (a very lewd, lewd science). This manga is essentially just a constant stream of random, lewd or off beat humor. It's fun, and part of the appeal comes from the fact that you slowly start to recognize the various characters. I'm personally a huge fan of lesbian leader.

Other examples:

Slightly NSFW

I spy with my little eye... The Persona 4 protagonist?

I forget the name, but I think it was Akame x Akane or something... That legitimately was one of my favorite things I had ever stumbled upon and made me go through Sayman's entire back catalog asap.

Hey MangaGAF!

I just want to get a synopsis of people's reading preferences for Jumps ongoing serialization....

What is your currently on going top weekly Shonen Jump series? (As in the chapter releases weekly)....... series on Hiatus can count if you want them too (just so I can get an idea of overall sense on readers opinions)

You can have your list to be the top 5 or top 3

For me it is (with a hiatus series included)


1.HXH T_T
2.Toriko
3.One Piece
4.Gintama
5.Shokugeki no Soma


Note :I also read Bleach, World trigger, Etc.... but I don't overly like those series currently..... if Naruto was still ongoing it wouldn't be on my top 5

Of course things change as series gain momentum or lose momentum in overall plot and interest

Hiatus X Hiatus
One Piece
My Hero Academia
Food Porn
-null-

I picked up Volumes 1-16 at a local store after hearing so much about it. After that I caught up all the way to Ch 169.

This is the first time I've legitimately binged on something all the way without any breaks and I have to say it was worth every moment.

Hiramoto has gotten 10x bolder with his art as well.

There's so much to say and I'm still trying to wrap my head around all that's happened.

Spoiler

Kurihara Rijichou got ridiculous game, the way he picks her up is so slick and smooth. Dude picks up a hitchhiker fresh from being stood up at her wedding and drives her around and sweet talking her like a damn boss. It's also ridiculously stupid and hilarious that the reason he drove off the cliff is because all he was thinking about was her ass as he was driving. Jesus this guy is a true assman.

I'm actually kinda upset that I spoiled myself on this through your text (don't feel bad though), but holy hell that scene is going to be amazing to witness.

Imagine the riots were One Piece to be suddenly dropped.

Real talk, which situation would lead to more casualties, HxH never coming back, the Berserk cast never getting off the boat or One Piece just gets hiatus'd for 2 years?

 

[Furyous]

Mushoku Tensei

This is one of the best manga I've ever read. *tears up* It's just so beautiful. This is Log Horizon with more fantasy and strategy. The whole NEET thing works itself out perfectly later on in the form of motivation. For the record, this is a greatly enhanced motivation found in the first few chapters so I'm not spoiling anything... at all. The characters are rich and the "oh shit" moments are Uncharted level. Think of the Uncharted moments of this can't get worse and then something happens and the comedy goes higher.

Also because that would mean that it ends in only 4 years... yeah i can't see that.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

One Piece is a bit over halfway done, since they passed the canonical halfpoint, about five years ago and it started in 1997. Although I don't buy that reaching Raftel/the One Piece will be the finale, there has to be another Marineford like arc at the end (Marejois, maybe) that wraps everything up in one climactic final arc.

Real talk, which situation would lead to more casualties, HxH never coming back, the Berserk cast never getting off the boat or One Piece just gets hiatus'd for 2 years?

I feel the audience for HxH and Berserk are already near the acceptance stage and wouldn't be too shocked, compared to One Piece's.

Next month Japan gets volume 77. I really can't see OP being past 3/4ths of the way through though...

No way is it going to stop at 100 volumes with its current pace.
