[Mr. Prince]

How many people think Hanasaka Ikkyu going to be included on next new series line-up? It is kind of too early to ask question about upcoming new series.

I think it's going to be a part of the next series line-up, which I expect in about 5~10 weeks from now. Though one can't really tell at this point how many new series might come along... guess it will all show in the upcoming weeks once the batch of the current newcomers gets ranked officially.

Little Info About Jump #18

Sket Dance
Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal by Naohito Miyoshi (One Shot, 19 Pages)
Gintama (CP)
Special: Sket Dance x Gintama Collaboration (CP)

Intriguing. I guess to commemorate that the two series are getting anime together in April, and drawn by a teacher/assistant duo?

I had actually contemplated translating Sket, but since I suck that idea died quite quickly. I guess I'll translate the collaboration when it comes out.....Wait. Wait. WAIT. Sket is wordy, and Gintama is wordy. This thing had better be less than nineteen pages or I promise you I will not touch it. Just trying to fathom the amount of text Sorachi and Shinohara will come up makes me weak in the knees.

 

[Rejuvenation]

Happy to see Sket Dance so high. Good momentum to have with its anime starting up.

Bakuman has a pretty good spot too though with all the extra series around it doesn't look like it.

I'm perfectly fine with where Mago and Beelzebub are at. I've been disappointed with both for a while now. Though I've been disenchanted with Beelzebub for much longer than Mago. Both are probably fine atm anyway but I'm glad the ranking reflects my thoughts.

Takeshi Obata's drawing is online ( I don't know if the text is from Tsugumi Ohba, but even so it should be from both of them)

Spoiler

I like it. But could someone please translate the text?

Just read the One Piece x Toriko Collaboration. It was EPIC! Great humor, even though it was directed to the younger audience.

Spoiler

Loved it when Luffy was gonna say how bad the devil fruit tasted! Pig inside a fox inside a tiger = EPIC! Made by Oda-sensei. This chapter really made me laugh. I've kind of missed a little of the One Piece humor, even though it is a little, it should be even more.

I agree It was really delicious! This showed once again that Toriko has everything to be one of the Top Manga, still not enough for One Piece or Naruto in my opinion, but for the other ones for sure.

For those who didn't get the joke about Shimabukuro's monster... The names on the heads are all editors at WSJ.

矢作 = One of the three deputy chief editors
中野 = One of the group leaders
小池 = One of the editors

Here's a rough translation:

Obata:
My heart goes to all those affected by the disaster.

Ohba: I would like to pray for those who lost their lives. My heart goes to all those still affected by the disaster as well as their relatives. We should all live with the willingness to help one another and have hope in our hearts.

Color Text:
Aim for rebuild with everyone working together!!

<hr noshade size="1">

Hahaha! Made it even more epic!

It was Oda's idea btw, at least thats what mangastream is saying.

 

[Finestela]

The Pig inside a fox inside a tiger monster is by Oda, but the 3 headed dragon is by Shimabukuro.

Hi. Im confused as to how the ranking works? So Toriko is number one and Magico is doing very well! Already that high and its still very new!!!! Must be new hit like in bakuman with Crow.

Series with color pages don't get ranked and new series are unranked until they reach chapter 8. Therefore, Toriko and Magico are unranked.

All of these series are ranked based on 8 chapters ago. That's how the ranking system works.

How do you know this? I don't want to sound like I'm not trusting but where does the information of this ranking come from?

Go to first page of this thread.

 

[Kotaku]

Wow!! Negative Syndicate-sama thank you for the explain to Kisho-san. I learning a lot by read what you tell Kisho-san.

I think Naruto best, Naruto should number one

But I want ask you Negative Syndicate-sama, you saying go first page to read, but that information also come from where? Is it Shuueisha tell? Or from series like Bakuman?

This kind of thread existed in Japanese forums for a lot of time.
Someday somebody found it and began publishing the information in English.

How do Japaneses know the way the ToC works? Maybe some editor of Jump said it in internet or something like that.

I think that we don't know it.

Sorry for my bad English.

 

[Kotaku]

Oh, I see! Thank you very much Salce-san, I learn a lot from what you teach me. I hope people in Japan also correct and not someone say rubbish everyone believing. It is interesting know how Jump work.

No need worry English bad, we all work hard together!

 

[come come paradise]

To njt and whoever is playing those guys' roles: let it be known that for this April fool's you have my eternal respect. I can't stop laughing xD


I'm a bit surprised at Gintama's ranking, it seemed so high just a few weeks ago. I guess it's one of these series that goes up and down. The OP/Toriko crossover was really good

 

[SoulEaterFreak]

Gintama (Hideaki Sorachi) and Medaka Box ( Ishin Nishio - Text⁄ Akira Akatsuki - Art) drawings/messages are online.

Yeah, I asked that same question some weeks ago, and nobody could find the true answer.

 

[Finestela]

It's more of a trial and error, as well as bits and hints from some of the "insiders". Just for the 2ch community, they've been talking about it for nearly 11 years, and the "rules" are what they have confirmed so far.
