I like Deku because I personally dealt with a lot of bullying such as getting beat up and robbed in school a lot, so I find him relatable

Not quite. It's not wrong to compare series, even if only by it's first chapter. If the one and only chapter that a series has until now has many similarities with Bleach, it's not wrong to compare it with Bleach at all. I seriously can't understand the reason you shouldn't be able to compare only by the first chapter, seriously.

You are comparing a long run series with one chapter. You are not giving the series a chance to build anything, principally its identity, before comparing with every single series. We know that authors look for inspiration in other series and some things will be similar. Everybody knows that here and yet people are comparing every series to another after a few chapters.

I seriously think Neverland could go down us having one of the best Volume cover collections out of any Jump series.

What Jump series do you guys think have the best volume covers?

One Piece #84 is godly. Looks even better in color. This coming from someone who really dislikes Oda's art.

I really like Bleach's honestly, especially since character designs are Kubo's specialty.

Well... Black Torch similarities with Bleach start in the very first chapter of Bleach. And it's not like comparing series is actually a problem, I know many people that read a manga because a person made a comparison of that manga with a series that the person likes. After thinking a little, I kind of understand why you wouldn't want people comparing a series only by it's first chapters, but it's inevitable when the similarities are really obvious.

Hunter x Hunter

Personally I'd say the best covers are between One Piece and Dragon Ball. I love how a lot of Dragon Ball covers had no correlation to the actual plot and we're just fun scenarios

Bleach covers are pretty good. So stylish!

As great as MHA's art is, it's a bit sad the volume covers don't quite live up to it. The only volume covers that looked good is if it's focusing on a single character. Like #5 and, #11. Maybe Horikoshi might want to consider switching to Kubo's style?

I'd say Volume 1, 6, 9, and 10 are great covers that include multiple characters

The only covers I'm not a fan of are 2 and 9. I think they all the others look great. My only issue is that they aren't uniform, which is something I like in a set of volume covers.

Nurarihyon no Mago covers are the ones I like the most from Jump series. Besides that, I don't think I have any other that comes to my mind... All good ones are all from other publishers.
Favorite cover from NuraMago is this one:

The worst is when the spines aren't uniform. This triggers me so hard whenever I see it at the store and I haven't even read the series.

Definitely. It's also the worst when the spines all come together to form one image, and you get a few spines where the image isn't in line.

In relation to MHA... man the Viz spines look so ugly.

Consistently? HxH.

These ones where they cover top moments in an arc

Looks like there's been a

sudden timeskip

in Sesuji wo Pin!'s latest chapter.

Could be entering the final arc/ending or just entering a new arc. Likely it's ending though since Ch. 81's color page looked like it + only a few more chapters to finish Vol 10.
