^ Could it be Bleach has another center color page in about 2-3 weeks time and he's just being vague? =P Though the days of Bleach color page pimpage are over. >_>

After reading Godland Company, I find the idea really cool. Like, I love how you have this misfit collection of gods and mythical creatures living under the same roof, trying to adapt and give back to human society in some way. But it also has some tried-and-tested elements that I suppose could work for a younger audience. I would definitely read it if he published it, though!

lol, I haven't thought of that. I mean Vol. 50 and Unmasked is coming out next month. Could it be that he'll be getting two CP as their promotion?

One right before and another soon after the release date?

Due to color page(s)/cover, yap, they were not ranked.

I kinda hate the way One Piece is getting each weeks that pass the 1º position.
I am a Narutard and Naruto will always be the manga that i most like , but if i had to vote it isn't like i was going to vote for it every week.
Kishi could have done the war at some points a bit more interesting but it still is a bit weird that Naruto is struggling to maintain on the second position.
One Piece maintains a very high consistency, and most of the chapters are very good , but i can remember some times that on my opinion other mangas beat it , like Naruto and Bakuman.
I don't know of what chapter this TOC is about , but i kinda feel bored cuz it seems that even if One Piece chapter isn't that good is first position won't be in danger

 

[Asgaroth]

...

just because its got enough fanboys. the toc is not about quality. every story got its downs, because this is how storys work! its like the silent before a storm, so it can reach its climax.

i think bakuman does give you quite an insight of how good a chapter is. is it normal, it gets 5. is it good, it gets 1-3 or when its bad, it gets 6-7.

 

[murtas]

One piece is in a really different level, so it is obviously uncontested 1st place.

 

[meeedoooz]

it's not about quality or " being in another level " or what ever... it's about popularity and having enough fan boys ...

 

[Verilance]

of course it is about quality..

Do you think so many adults would still read One Piece if it wasn't quality?

Do you think it would sell nearly double the volume sales as the next manga if it wasn't on another level?

You might not like it but many people in Japan and elsewhere do. It is not just about being a "fanboy"

 

[Elyon A. Luna]

I like that Sket Dance has been rising in the numbers, hope it keeps.

 

[meeedoooz]

well, there is nothing wrong in being a fan boy... and popularity doesn't equal quality... especially if you are judging by one country... but that isn't the point... the last chapters of one piece ( though i'm a "fan boy" of it ) doesn't deserve the first place or the second and that's a fair judgment ... any other manga chapter has to be extra extra wonderful to take that place but one piece gets it any way with any kind of chapters except once or twice, and most of the times that goes for naruto too... their rank is granted but lately naruto seems to be judged by quality that's why it's struggling to maintain on the second position. no manga deserves to be in the top spot always... and i'm a big fan of one piece so i know that this arc and the last chapters doesn't deserve the 1st place...

 

[Finestela]

I think the point is that many readers vote for OP for the sake of it. It doesn't matter if it's the low point or whatever within the arc, there will still be enough people voting for it to boost it to the top (or close to it).

Naruto has enough loyal readers to bear through the rough patches, but still fluctuates every now and then.

The issue with Bleach is that, the fan base is split between those that enjoys seeing Ichigo, and those that enjoys seeing the side characters. The side character group sees no reason to support the current arc since most of their favorites aren't making any appearance at all. To top it off, the swing voters felt it dragging. Thus, its ranking is at where it is now.

The Official Japanese Jump website does not say that Bleach is getting a color page, but the official English site does.

The current chapter of Bleach also mentioned it was getting a color page next issue so it's probably true.

The Japanese Jump website has made mistakes before, like saying the author of Kuroko no Basket was Ryuhei Tamura (Beelzebub) instead of Tadatoshi Fujimaki.

And that's why I included BLEACH ^^

 

[StrangerAtaru]

Inumaru gets flash anime, sort of going the Jaguar route I guess...now that I could say is probably the "little series that could" thinking back on hte days when people said "oh, he's exposing his weiner all the time, get it away!"

(now this should make the Kuroko/Medaka fans squirm to see if they're next)

As for Sket, I think either the world has finally caught up with it or it just has much more noteriety in the marketplace with the anime now airing in Japan.

I guess so, but it seems to be rather obvious that Medaka would be next since again, rankings aside, it sells a pretty good amount per volume despite lacking an anime...and with Nishio's name behind it, it has a pretty good shot of being sucessful beyond just boosting tank sales.

I guess the flash thing is good news for Inu fans though(never read myself). Maybe Kuroko will end up going this route too...
