Omagadoki and Nurarihyon getting extra pages again? Seems that SJ doesn't like them being in bottom either.

 

[saladesu]

My bad, and thanks for the correction, Prince-san and kewl

Looks like Enigma fell a little, but not by a lot. It's nice to see a new series hanging in there so well :')

 

[Divinenega]

Interesting rankings. Enigma's out of the top 5 for the first time, but it;s still hanging in there in addition to getting the cover. Meaning that the first volume must have really sold well. I also think this is the closest Medaka Box has gotten to the top 5 since...has Medaka Box ever been in the top 5? Either way it's heading on the proper track towards getting an anime. I expect to hear an annoncement almost any week now.

On a depressing note, I'm sad to see Reborn just barely floating above the bottom 5...

 

[StrangerAtaru]

Interesting week: really like Gintama being #3 and somehow Medaka being that high up isn't bad for it as well. Sort of hard times still for Mago and Reborn though...Enigma I wouldn't worry though because it probably is just getting over it's initial rush and people are just now settling down with it. (then again it could be another Double Arts: early success prior to utter collapse)

 

[Negative Syndicate]

So, is news about One Piece being absent on Issue 7 a fake?

 

[R4n]

Both KHR and Enigma is low but i am more worried about the latter. TT__TT
khr will not get cancelled, please survive Enigma!!

 

[Negative Syndicate]

The cover is Beelzebub
Issue 8: Cover is Enigma
Color: Toriko & Omagadoki
Omagadoki and Nurarihyon have 23 pages

Isn't Kochikame gets a colour page, not Oumagadoki?

 

[Koen]

Look it is easy: for oumagadoki it is really difficult to have a good position since there's tons of good manga which are more regular and appreciated such as Bakuman, Toriko, Beelzebub, etc... I think you have to look downside, even reborn isn't doing good. Psyren and SWOT got cancelled while none have been introduced. Light wing is another cushion and it seems that shinigami hasn't the appreciation like it used to have. Another +15 chapters for oumagadoki and mago for sure (proof: they get extra pages)

Except, you know, it just got the cover next week. I still think it's standing strong, constantly being in the top 5 since debut would've been unheard of >.>. Right now it's in the middle, where many people expected it to be anyway.

 

[Koen]

And medaka box deserves to be almost in the top 5. The latest arc has been more interesting that the arc in which they fought class 13. The minus characters are really cool and their powers are insane (scardead, all fiction, etc). Kumagawa and his fellowship are the most insane characters. It really looks interesting. A lot of people should read medaka box because it is an interesting battle manga which is imo rightfully better than KHR and mago at this moment

 

[Nintakun]

Nice Week, even with Enigma dropping (it will receive cover YAY!)
Toriko, Gintama and Sket in the top 5 made de week worthy!
I hope Oumagadoki survives... =/

I second that. Medaka Box is proabably the most entertaining battle manga in JUMP right now(besides One Piece of course). Which makes me wonder...when it eventually gets an anime, do you think the studio that animates it will pull a Yu-Yu Hakusho, and cut through the lighthearted stuff to get to the action faster? Given the aftereffect the genre shift had on the manga at first, I think it would be smarter than just suddenly shifting gears, like Reborn did...though it worked in that case because most people watching the anime were looking for an action series anyway.

I think that medaka box can be compared with HxH and One Piece when it tells its story through dialogues. I like it because a story is served due to very good dialogues between characters. The chapters aren't an instant read

Well, I think that Medaka box has a chance to get an anime if it can get a decent popularity. I wouldn't be surprised if they cut through the lightheart, school life that was served first. I also think that people judged this manga too fast because they thought it would become a school/daily life manga with bland arcs. But they are wrong: let me say that I place it below Toriko and One piece but above naruto, KHR and others. I really think that Medaka Box's spot is well deserved.

It's already popular enough to get an anime, which is why I said I expect to hear an announcement in the near future. It's doing pretty well in the polls now, and it's competing pretty well against Beelzebub in terms of volume sales. Not to mention Nisho Isin's name is pretty big in the industry now. Sounds like a winning a formula in my book.

 

[Kaiten]

I'm happy to see Sket Dance in the top 5, even happier that it's getting scanlated again.

 

[Negative Syndicate]

I'm glad that Oumagadoki gets better treatment than Hokenshitsu, at least.

 

[halfcrzy]

Still no new series are being published? Im a little confused why they cut the 2 series back in early december if they arent replacing them yet. Could have gotten maybe another volume in pysren... =(

Well, there has been a series of one shots. Or it must be that WSJ's editorial department has changed its mentality about cancellations and new series. Maybe, they are aware that the current line of series is a very promising line. But I do agree with one thing: imo, they could have given more time and respect to Psyren than they are giving to Light Wing

 

[Galactic Tomahawk]

Slightly discouraging to see Enigma drop like that. Hoping it stays around there instead of totally tanking.

Also glad to see the Bottom 5 was reversed. I almost had a heart attack when I saw Light Wing jumping five places above OD.

 

[Rejuvenation]

All of this Medaka Box love is nice to see. Especially after the years of hate and people saying it will be canceled. I am happy about the ranking this week.

Sket Dance and Toriko in the top 5 is great to see too.

I believe its been top 5 once and #6 a number of times in recent months. An anime is inevitable but I hope they allow enough room between anime and manga. I can live with an anime at the 2.5 year mark.
