Maybe some of these guys are not that generous and wants to make profit by reselling

 

[Doraku]

I saw this on 2ch and thought it would be funny to post here. This is how you truely support a new series you want to survive in Jump.

Spoiler

He purchased 20 copies of Nisekoi and plans to continue doing it for every volume

There was also a guy several years ago who would purchase 30 copies of Busou Renkin everytime a new volume was released....... found the pics!

Spoiler

Whoops.... I forgot the guy who purchased 100 Copies of P2! LETS PLAY PINGPONG volume 1...

Spoiler

P2! was in danger and he really didn't want it to be cancelled.

This is just weird. I know several friends who buy 7-8 copies of the same manga as a collector but 20 copies is just weird. Reselling makes more sense to me if you buy 20++ copies of the same manga.

@Bomber D Rufi

Because Jump has several new series that needs to be pimped first, maybe they get prioritized first to get color pages?

 

[Newkerzy]

Just caught up to Pajama, and I have to admit, the series started off as pretty slow, but things are looking much more interesting as of now. And... is it just me, or....

Spoiler

was chapter 9 a bit of a wham episode for you guys?? 'cause honestly, I did not expect Jump to actually publish that almost rape scene in full detail. I had to admit, that was impressive. I wonder if there was any explicit rape/almost rape scene ever published in Jump. Maybe Hokuto no Ken has one when it ran in WSJ????

Yeah if you like something so much why not go all out.

 

[Newkerzy]

Just asking, does anyone know which chapter is Kuroko at right now in Japan??

 

[Negative Syndicate]

Kuroko is in chapter 164 in Japan.

 

[alphabeta]

Just asking, does anyone know which chapter is Kuroko at right now in Japan??

Wikipedia shows its at 161. I dunno if it counts all the chapter or only the ones until Volume 17, though

Well, I guess I better go update wikipedia

 

[Zeromcd]

I asked the early Medaka Box spoiler provider if he could tell me the rankings for this weeks Jump but he only told me where Medaka Box was.

Medaka Box is in the far back of the magazine, right behind Kochikame.

Thanks, I was wondering where it's at right now since the Edited Mangas are catching up. Wonder if anyone's willing to scan it from the magazines later.

I only looked at that chapter because of what you said and

Spoiler

that was a pretty lax almost rape scene. I admit it was slightly strange to see that much hinting at rape in the current Jump but I''s and Video Girl Ai were considerably more explicit by any stretch of the imagination. That's about what I'd expect to see for a series in Jump.

 

[Negative Syndicate]

There are two internet radio shows (?) that are uploaded in NicoNico Douga. They are about two people just discuss about their opinions and prediection on every Jump series in the issue and they are uploded in weekly. But, these radio shows (?) are in Japanese (since it is recorded by two Japanese men), I recommed these two programs for people who can understand Japanese (of course you need the account from NicoNico in order to listen to them). I listen to these every week and I am pretty enjoying them.

Question: I was wondering if anyone will be translating Bulge?

I actually enjoy Pajama too, so far it's been a very good series. A little more serious and emotionally raw than has been the norm for recent Jump manga. And actually quite well written, a series I'd actually recommend. I also enjoyed Dogashi Kaiden, Hamada's previous series, and had been really excited for his return. I'm glad to see it is doing pretty well so far. I'm glad so many series ended or were canceled recently, it give Pajama a better chance of lasting.

I'm hoping Koisome Momiji is translated soon, not that I have high hopes, but I'd still like to try it. I'm not really that interested in Bulge or Psi, if they are translated I may give them a try anyway.

Spoiler

I was a little surprised to see even attempted implied rape in today's Jump. Video Girl AI and I"S were from a different day and age, anything racier than panty shots had seemingly been purged over the last five years, maybe even longer.

Jump seemingly is allowing a lot more fanservice again; Nisekoi has even featured nudity recently, albeit with the tiniest whiffs of steam covering certain key body parts. Nevertheless, it was still as racy as anything from To Love Ru.

Well, perhaps the reason for my surprise is that I've never seen or read those series (VGA & I"s) is because I was too young to know about them. So I suppose it's not a surprise for fans around my age to be that surprised with that scene. Now I'm wondering where that chapter of Pajama's will rank.

 

[k-dom]

Pajama first chapters did not really interested me so I stopped reading it rapidly. Nisekoi also tired me. I guess I'm not a jump romcom guy. So I'm not really looking for a 3d one.
As for Bulge, given that Zoo was quite popular it shouldn't wait long until it's translated especially if it is well received. HQ which was not scanlated made a rapid comeback once its TOC ranks were confirmed to be good.

It seems to be a good moment to be serialized in Jump, none of the last series since ST&RS was canceled after a few chapters. 2010 curse seems to be forgotten

 

[Divinenega]

Ouch poor Mago. It's really taken a beating this time. Also kinda sad to see Kurogane and Magico down there. At least Medaka is above the bottom 5 this week.

 

[Zeromcd]

#25 :

Did Inumaru Dashi end this issue?

 

[Negative Syndicate]

Jump is putting one shot without ending anything? Is that means there are extra space in Jump?

 

[clydu94]

I really like Pajama. In fact I'm loving it recently. It's a good serie who has some potential. There is less ecchi in the recent chapters and the manga is way better like that.

However concerning this ToC I find it ridiculous.. Japanese people, Y U PUT BLEACH SO LOW ? I can't understand. Naruto second.. This is real BS.

 

[Negative Syndicate]

Look like because no absent in #26.

If so, then I wonder if it'll be possible to be only one series end/axe on next session with two new series start.
