Does anyone know how many copies Bleach, Toriko, Nisekoi, and Gintama currently have in print?...

Nisekoi has 10,000,000 in print as of 05/23/2016

I've never heard about Shuumatsu no Harem. This is good or bad?

 

[Mammo]

it's a borderline ****** manga, I think the artist is a ****** artist

only skimmed through it and it's a generic on "last few males on earth and every chick want them" story

[SharkBait]

They printed that many of promised neverland? I wonder what BLack Clover initial print run was.

 

[TyVip]

Shumatsu no Harem is bad. It tries to tell a story, and at the same time flashing boobies at you.

Tbh I would like a Yuragi x To Love Ru double face poster, rather than Yuragi and Shumatsu no Harem. But I guess Shuiesha is trying to promote Shumatsu.

More like they're trying to remind people Jump+ is a thing. Cross is being advertised as having stuff from both, it'd be pretty funny if it's all WSJ stuff other than the poster and Animored though. It'd also be hilarious if Animored is the reason Ana no Mujina's been on hiatus for the last few months since that'd kind of be killing the thing they're trying to advertise.

Shuumatsu no Harem is like blue balls:the series

The nominees for Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2017 first place in the male readers category:
Fire Punch
King of Ants
My Hero Academia
Kaguya Wants to be Confessed To - The Geniuses' War of Love and Brains
Hear me, waves.
Souboutei Must be Destroyed

Some people think Fire Punch is a commentary about faith and beliefs, other thinks it's just an just an edgy shonen, I don't care, whatever the mangaka is trying to do his execution is so clumsy and his writing is all over the place, it doesn't deserve to be nominated for anything in my eyes.
I only read the couple of scanlated chapters from King of Ants, it was cool, you will never hear me say anything bad about delinquents manga.
AfO vs OfA greatness carried BnHA to the list.
Kaguya is nominated "how cute".
Never read the radio manga and never finished Blade of the Immortal but it was good and I trust Samura can write a good slice of life story.
Fujita have a writing formula that he never changes in his work, it's not for me but Nips seems to not get enough of it.

He is not wrong, though. Watched a documentary regarding this and it is an actual thing that in japan, people who LOOKS japanese are seen more japanese, than people who lived their entire lives there. For example, in the documentary a couple, the man was from the USA( & caucasian) & the wife was chinese, both had two kids (the son looked more like the father & the daughter more like the mother) wanted to go to one of japan's popular hot bath house, but back then for some sort of treason only 'japanese' people were allowed to visit the bath houses(don't know the actual circumstances anymore, something happaned back then). Mother & daughter, though chinese, did look more japanese & were allowed to go in the hot bath house, but not the father & son(in the end, the whole family left & were insulted & saddened by this).
Naruto has a very japanese name, but compared to a Sasuke, he does look less japanese, therefore could be regarded as 'less japanese', though I don't know if Kishimoto did this on purpose.


Well, that is not entirely true. In Yami's backstory, when he arrived the Clover Kingdom people actually rejected him. That's why Yami has so much respect for the Wizard King, because he gave Yami a chance to prove himself( the Wizard King also got flack for this).


Errr.... you do know that Ichigo actually explained at the beginning of Bleach that he was bullied by the students & his teachers, because he was a ginger? It was mentioned several times early on, and was a reason for him, to be a good student, because he wanted to prove them wrong.

Thank you!

It's obvious that Kishimoto wanted to put a "japanese old style guy" against a "foreigner" one. Everything in Naruto is based on that. The old costumes X mordernism and technology.

I've never heard about Shuumatsu no Harem. This is good or bad?

if it translates to "World's End Harem" than I'm currently reading it. It's actually pretty sexy for a harem, but a little generic. A dude gets froze in the hyperbolic chamber for 5 years after a virus that kills only men wipes out 99% of the world's population. They basically want the mc and all other surviving men to impregnate every women they bring to them lol. The heroine, which is Erisa and a girl who looks exactly like her (??) are getting pretty good development so I would recommend you try it out. The mc is bearable but soft. The 2nd chapter goes straight to the ****** but it's a mature manga for a reason. It's some wincest in there too but nothing crazy. I'll try it as long as you know what're you're getting into

The animation in the MHA season 2 trailer looks slightly stepped up from the season 1 trailer

 

[Leoat12]

I hope they do it properly this time, but the wasted first season will not come back unfortunately.

Sakura had pink hair, Ino and Tsunade were blonde they weren't discriminated... don't think too hard it is all fiction in the end. Naruto was a threat and he wasn't a good kid either there are plenty of reasons why he was discriminated and him not looking Japanese isn't one of them.

Hair color means nothing. The attitude is the key here. Naruto was discriminated because he was different and had something "frightening" inside of him that caused pain and sorrow to others. That's exactly how some japanese people see americans because of the WWWII bombing and other social relations.

 

[Nakura]

I'm not going to say that the animation has stepped up yet... it's a short PV after all.

I didn't expect to see any animation until next year so it came as a shock to see it so soon. It looks very solid, and I'm pretty excited.
