I love those spread pics.
Kubo should've just have done a random fashion manga + battles instead.

To be fair discussion is easier for anime, where there's only a certain number of shows airing each season. Most of the major WSJ series get talked about a fair amount, as well as works by the bigger authors (Urasawa, Murata, Arakawa), but it's harder to find enough people reading some of the more minor series to start a discussion that goes beyond superficial impressions. It also seems like there's less people with an encyclopedic knowledge of the medium in mangagaf than animegaf.

I'm finally gonna realize my dream brahs.
I like them too, but every single time. It looks like they are about to start spitting about how much money they have.
In my imagination the english dub of histugaya does the chorus.
I will draw it , then take long breaks for no reason.

Harem manga are more likely to win, but a acid trip manga might get published just for hilarity.
Honestly I'd love if we did the scanlation manga one shot, that'd be meta as fuck
Shit sucks, F-

How much nakama time could we fit into a one shot?
Do they give a website? I have a few stories sitting around that I could adapt into a comic (I'm not a good artist so it may take a while).
Yes, there should be more information on the Shonen Jump website as soon as this issue is officially released in Japan (27/05).
Honestly, I was looking forward for Fishman Island ever since Oda started hyping it, so couldn't help but be disappointed by how this arc's villains were turned into fodder for the Straw hats to steamroll. If the Time skip was really inevitable, I felt that FI should had happened at least before it, even if it mean moving the island to before Shanbody. I can't help but think a weaker SH actually fighting New Fishman Pirates on equal terms would had been incredible awesome. A perfect closure to the Straw Hat's adventure in Grand Line saga before shit hitting the fan with the Whitebeard war. (That was more like a Luffy's solo adventure)
But what is done is done. It's a been some time already since I found out my opinion regarding the series no longer matches with the rest of the OP fanbase. The fact that, somehow, I'm enjoying Bleach's final arc more it's prove how disconected I am. But like I said before, I still enjoy the series a lot and I'm really looking forward Dressrosa arc.
That said, I can wait an entire year if necessary, I want Oda to get better first and then get humane work schedule before returning to work. I confess I'll find difficult to enjoy Dressrosa knowing the crap he has to put up to stay in schedule.
I wish to actually wish become an illustrator, so this would be fantastic even if I don't win.

I wonder if this is what viz was hinting at in their podcast, I think. Anyway, I wonder if they'll be able to, if theres some really good JPN one give the winner a chance at having a series.

You know what? Fuck it. I'm going to try this.
If you're looking for a writer to team up with you can count me in.
Retcon: warning, my ideas tend to be rather insane

Honestly this is the most brilliant idea Jump has ever had, take a bunch of submissions let the fans vote on the best and make those into full fledged series.
I already had an Idea, but I am willing to hear yours.
Or if you can help my writing that would be wonderful.
October 1st I believe
Dude, we can team up and work your idea together. I've got no problem being an editor, I've got a bit of free time lately so being a proof reader is just fine.
The ideas I'm kicking around are a school built on a burned out insane asylum that was built on an ancient indian burial ground or a thing about a farmer and a donkey that slowly morphs into President Jefferson.

So who in this thread can actually draw?

The 2.000.000 yen question.
You should write deadpool.
And yes working together is fine, i have a few versions of a similar idea. I still want it to be self contained, but leaves the audience wanting for more.

Wat
My idea is pretty tame in comparison. Just of a guy who wakes up every day with a completely different superpower and no idea how to control it. I think it could be pretty funny.
That sounds pretty cool.
My ideas tend to sound completely off the wall when I pitch them but tend to make a lot more sense when they're written out completely.
I haven't heard that one before :lol
Jintor, that's about it.
I can actually draw.

Is there like an artist gaf we can rope into helping us?

Add superpowers to the mix.
I wonder what kind of superpowers you folks will have if any of you is a main character in a manga.

Power to control weather has always been the best and most desireable superpower. Too bad there arent, I think, any manga that feature that.
Good point. The comparatively insignificant amount of anime being produced at any one time certainly does allow for far more focused discussions to take place. I'd still say the sheer volume of different genres, authors, artists, etc should help facilitate discussion in some constructive way. Things like comparing an authors/artists catalogue and talking about any similar possible themes/visual motifs used throughout them and the evolution in their art/writing.
Someone should have the ability to change the plot/events of a manga.
And so they do it for all their favorites when they don't like where the manga is going. But everyone else hates their ideas so their favorite manga always get canceled.
I would love to do a comic about a bunch of superheroes who spend most of their time complaining about manga on the internet
That or some kind of visualisation of a forum thread. Kind of like Densha Otoko meets... ManGAF.
Probably less romance though.
Mind you, the 'waking up with superpowers different every time' idea is a pretty good foundation one-shot and can end really nicely too

I want to be the future of Jump.
Any artist who would want to draw manga would probably rather write their own stories.

Not every artist is a good writer and vice versa course it's much easier to fake being a good writer then it is being a good artist
