For me Assassination Classroom has some of the most original and clever covers and color pages. The one with Koro sensei as a Earth winking with Japan was brilliant.

Visual key seems very good in my opinion, but Chitoge's smile... I don't know, seems a bit weird, doesn't need a big smile like this, but I am not worried. It's just a visual key.

Newtype.. Any new information on HxH? It was possible for it to be announced in Newtype, right?

 

[k-dom]

Someone found it was photoshopped so it's 100% sure to be a fake now.

Akimoto Osamu (author of Kochikame), Inoue Takehiko (author of Slam Dunk, Vagabond, and Real), Oda Eiichirou (author of One Piece), and Motomiya Hiroshi (author of Otoko Ippiki Gaki Daishou, Salaryman Kintarou, etc.) draw a special picture for Golgo 13 to celebrate its 45th anniversary.

 

[Schabrak]

It's been posted here in the Oda thread.



edit: Not sure why you did it edit it into your own post too since the HQ versions are just a click away...

I found an interesting spoiler from the 2ch, but I'm not sure whether it is real or not (and I think people in 2ch aren't sure as well). I'll put the spoiler tag just in case (since I'm not sure whether it is confirmed or not), so I want other people to put spoiler tag when replying to this information(?).

What were opinions on Enigma, is the writer a capable writer and artists?

Hopefully it wont turn out false like the time there was the one saying the Bakuman duo would be back, I think that was a few months ago.

Don't know.

Aww, come on, man! That's got to be fakest serialization round I've ever seen! Whoever came up with this list really sucks at faking spoilers.

That's WAY too many higher-profile authors at once, especially compared to the last several cancellations rounds.

I'll still believe it when I see it, but for now, I'm calling B.S.

Well, I don't think all of them are high-profile authors. Sakaki and Ikezawa got axed before.

Plus, Jump recently has a one shot by super popular author and a special chapter for current popular series. As compared to these two, I think they are sound reasonable (but, I'm not saying that those information is true, though).

Well, compared to the last several cancellations rounds, it's missing two types of mangaka:
1. New authors, especially in the face of all the new oneshots that have been appearing on the magazine.
2. Returning mangaka of poorer series. (some of whom I've attached a certain grudge on as I've mentioned earlier)

I know Sakaki and Ikezawa didn't manage to serialize a good-enough success to avoid the axe, but with both their serials having lasted over a year in length, they've already done better than many others whose serials have only lasted, say, 15 chapters or so, hence why I've grouped them as "higher-profile".

Of course, I'll always be waiting for Kenji Sakaki in particular to return, but this prediction is laughably unrealistic.

I don't think the editors must have to follow that logic everytime.

I would rather see Akatsuki work with a different writer next time.

I highly doubt they' allow Ikezawa to come back after the Twitter shitstorm he caused. I'm calling it a fake.

 

[FanOfAniManga]

I don't think the editors must have to follow that logic everytime.

Wait, I actually misread the two oneshots as new serializations... oops... but still, two highly-renowned authors coming back at the same time with oneshots just doesn't seem realistic.

I don't think it's logic as much as it is a trend. Looking at that TL;DR post I made a while ago, I presumed there's always a lineup of mangaka wishing to get serialized on WSJ, and going by that, the chances so many higher-profile mangaka are coming together is extremely slim.

In fact, I can most certainly say Ikezawa returning this soon is impossible, assuming the editors of WSJ have set a minimum amount of time before a mangaka can come back. I mean, for a mangaka to return less than a year after their last serial ended is already a massive stretch. The closest example I could think of to that is Kohei Horikoshi, as I mentioned, who took a little over a year after his first serial Omagadoki ended to serialize Bulge, and we all know how well that went.

I'm not sure. I don't think the author actually have to think the from the blank after their serialization ended. I think some authors already have couple of plots in their mind before they actually start the serialization.

For example, Furudate actually already thought about Haikyuu!! before doing Yotsuya-senpai, but the editors suggest him to do the volleyball after when he got more experienced.

So, I don't think every authors didn't think of any other plots like before or during their serialization.

not for nothing but wasn't the whole deal that he *used* to be a hugely unprofessional and insulting person on the internet, and then part of his having a serialisation was the closing of his various accounts? I don't recall any further controversy beyond that point
