Because they translate the chapters fast?

Well, that too. Unless it's Neverland. *grumbles*

 

[Nakura]

I guess. I prefer a better translation more than anything. It's not like you're paying these groups for the chapter, so I couldn't care much about it being released as quickly as possible.

Popularity is an interesting point when it comes to lesser known series. I never really think much about that though.

I pay money for English Jump, so I already get the best possible scan quality/translation. I'm an impatient person, so that's why I tolerate MS.

Except Haikyuu, the other mangas I read at ESJ only. I formed this habit after going to the US. There was a saying that you shouldn't download pirate things in the US because the FBI comes after you. I passed a lot of months reading legal things and now I'm very used to it. That was some kind of drug treatment.
So, Jump only on Mondays and I forget Haikyuu and I'm always late at it, that's why I urge for Haikyuu at ESJ. xD
I renewed my ESJ subscription and I still use it here in Brazil. I still read scans, but much less than I used to, even more now when I'm able to read in Japanese.

Next week is the end of the mini arc in Shokugeki no Souma and the start of the next part in the series. Hopefully the ranking will go up. The flashback arc is pretty good so far.

Thoughts on latest Demon's Plan chapter?

Thoughts on latest Demon's Plan chapter?

I definitely enjoyed it. Lots of useful information. Enemy group reveal, ally for the MC, etc. Overall it increased my enjoyment of the series. Also, I liked how there was an actual reason for the finger in the ear instead of the typical grimdark cliche.

Thoughts on latest Demon's Plan chapter?

This chapter was definitely the best so far. Good world building and and provided an interesting angle to the premise. It hasn't sold me yet though. Having my attention for only 1 out of the 6 chapters so far isn't something to write home about. The art is also still bugging me.

 

[xAsum0x]

I enjoyed it also, seemed to setup alot of stuff like Dogma,the Alliance, and also other factions.

Ranking in the magazine is what matters, no matter how much a manga sells.
I have the feeling that I repeated it a dozen of times already here. hahaha

Yeah... Isobe is definitely the perfect example of that haha.

I could swear this was a Sharkbait post... But ok, I'll bite... No dude, viz translations are HIDEOUS. And they won't ever beat Edited Manga groups... Not while we still have the printed magazine.

You know that Isobe is put in the bottom on purpose like Jaguar, right?

What I don't get is why there are people who are so persistent in wanting a series they read to be picked up by MS. I mean, why? If there's already a good scan group doing it then what's the point?

Well just look at Demons Plan. The series is nothing special and is brand new, yet has a pretty big following judging by the comments each chapter gets on Reddit. If MS hadn't picked that up and another group did, most of those people probably wouldn't have ever heard of it.

Although the speed thing is a bit stupid. They just picked up BC which is already done by Jaimini and they release within a few hours or sometimes even before MS, so they're certainly not slow. Its probably their most stupid choice in series to pick up yet. Likewise with Jaimini doing OP tbh.

checking out Love Rush volume

every single monster girl from the first chapter have a name

which means the incompetent mangaka was planning to have the mc a harem of 47 girls he was probably gunning for negima 31 record

someone please get this guy a writer for his next serialization, that's if he still have a career after those horrifying sales

 

[Leoat12]

Don't badmouth my beloved Love Rush! Characters must have a name, right? I think it shows his devotion to the series. We cannot tell how he would handle all that because he didn't have time to do so.

Horikoshi had a horrifying series and horrifying sales in Sensei Bulge and look at where he is now. It doesn't me anything. He has to move on and get better in the next try.

 

[Mammo]

here's where are you wrong kiddo, he was planning to introduce the girls to the story 1 by 1, he already introduced some of them to the harem

Horikoshi wanted to quit being a mangaka after Barrage, his friend talked him into giving it another shot

 

[Leoat12]

How do you know that? He said so? And I don't understand why people bother so much about size of harems if there are casts out there that are so big you don't remember half of the names (*cof* World Trigger *cof*). It is not like all the girls will always participate actively in the story, there is always a core where the author focus on more. I don't know about Negima, but there are ways to handle that well. I particularly don't like big casts, but I will not criticize something that didn't happen.

 

[Mammo]

How do i know that? it's every harem manga formula ever

-new girl show up
-girl have a problem
-help her with her problem
-her crush on mc get stronger
-mc dodge, main girl dodge his dodging, no development
-repeat next week

and yes, there are ways to handle a large cast well, but this mangaka's writing is awful, I have seen nothing redeeming about it and I'm almost certain he would've botched the execution

 

[Leoat12]

You don't like harem, not the author in particular. Tell me something new...

I hope 2017 brings us a pure romance to the magazine. I don't know if Yuragi is romance, but it is certainly not pure.
I read a lot of romances, but one in Jump is special, Nisekoi end opened a hole in my heart.
