They aren't cute. They look like a Bara story characters.
If you decide to search "bara", remember that you can't unseen things.

I know, i know, cute characters don't make a story great. There isn't any cute character in the main team of Slam Dunk and it's really fun to read.

Thanks for the warning. I will not search.

I know someone who would disagree with you.

I really liked 1st chapter of Black clover.Both the drawing and the story are better than OS's.
The character of protagonist is good.It reminds me when Naruto was a kid

Some like their men more muscle and less feminine, even if bara goes with extreme bodybuilder frames/bodies. :P

Don't worry, you won't be confronted with yaoi ****** scenes.

Ah,and I LOVE manga with medieval ambientation

Kagamigami's heroine looks more interesting than the MC. I hope, considering how awesome Sakurako was in Psyren, she'll gets tons of screentime in the future! If Kagamigami survives that far.

Black Clover might work if it piques interest of other fellow fujoshi Jump readers. I'm not sold on the first chapter and the MC is waaaay too spazzy.

Shokugeki no Soma's latest cover page totally looks like something the author of Boku no Hero Academia. I'm actually surprised Tosh drew it, I thought maybe it was a collaboration of some sorts!

Also, the Valentines Day contest held by Nico Nico ended today. You can see the results here.

 

[NiNoZaPo]

I'm not going to lie, I'm surprise The Story of Isobe Isobee is still running on Weekly Jump. Not because I think it's a bad series or anything, but compare to all the other series that's running in WJ, it feels out of place.

 

[De La Croissant]

Nagisa-crossdresser is the biggest bait for fans in recent years.

 

[Leoat12]

First time I saw Nagisa I thought that he was a girl. He is an ambulant trap.

 

[Teeba]

I think its more apparent Matsui designed him that way. It sure is an aspect Nagisa learns to accept in recent chapters.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Definitely rooting for Black Clover now.

 

[De La Croissant]

Matsui worked his background in a very superficial way, then, when he is with a dress, I don't see it as a critique about accepting your own appearance or something like that, but as an almost gratuitous joke. The first time he wore the dress, for example, was in a totally random chapter, there wasn't much reason for him to do that. So, for me, he'll always be remembered as just a trap.

Hinomaru Zumou CP

Hnnng. Wow I guess Rica_Patin was right, I didnt know this series had such excellent character design going on after the first chapter. Will start reading it today so I dont get left behind too far and miss out on this precious gem of a series.

Rukawa Kaede was the best of the team, especially with the wet hair look and fierce look of determination on the court even. He was one of the reasons to keep reading. Fan artists also touched him up nicely in doujins.

Rukawa's hair is such a turn off for me...
Oh, but if i was going to pick someone from Shohoku, i'd pick Mitsui. He's good looking (after getting his teeth back and losing the stupid prince hair) and wild. But still not cute.
I certainly have a thing for Shooting Guards

Sharkbait's hyperbole aside, I really do believe that HZ has the potential to be a masterpiece/legacy Jump sports series along the lines of Slam Dunk, Rookies, or Eyeshield 21. It's pretty damn great so far, and I'm somebody who is way to cynical and critical of Jump series.

Hinomaru Zumou is sports manga gold, and it blows the last few sports manga out of the water. There's not enough true shonen manga with sweat and guts these days, so I really appreciate works that are unashamedly shonen. I also think it will go down in JUMP's history, but I guess for now it's all baseless speculation. Time will tell.

Zumou don't "hooked me" immediately as these other series did, but it's a good manga.

I cant imagine it being better than Haikyuu!!.
