Is there any way that the first post will keep updating the ToC every week like we used to in 2009-2010? Some weeks I come late and then search for the ToC 10 pages, It'll be great to have them on first post.

 

[Mammo]

here's something cool I found, this is a list of every mangaka that started from Jump Rookies and went on to have his own a series on Jump Plus
everyone on the top row flopped or flopping
the first 2 from the bottom row are a success, the 3 after it too early to tell if they're a success or not

I remember seeing quite a bit of talk about the 5th on the top row on some Japanese sites when it had just started (the one about the Amish girl detective), I guess it must've just a cool new thing kind of hype and it died off once the premise stopped being fresh.

Shonen Jump had to resort to My Hero Academia, where romance is nonexistent, to make the Valentine's Day promotion. The situation is grave, a romance in this magazine is necessary. I don't think "We Never Learn" will survive, the second chapter introduced romance in a forced way, I was WTF throughout the chapter.

Well, "nonexistent" is going a bit far. They could've used Yuragi-sou though. And I do think 'We never learn' can survive 20+ chapters; as had been said, it could appeal the Japanese Nisekoi fanbase (since you seem to not like it XD).

It will survive and it will exactly because there's no romance in JUMP right now. Or maybe they'll cancel We Never Learn and will serialize a new romance next time, who knows, my uncle doesn't work on Shueisha.

Mind posting a link? Because as of right now I have no idea what you are referring to.

Yuragi isn't a romance?

It is the same level as Naruto, aka nonexistent. Horikoshi will remember that he will have to make couples at the end of the series. Didn't understand you were trying to say in the last phrase.

You just said the two possibilities, what are you trying to say?

As long as Deku ends up with Himiko and Todoroki ends up with Momo I could care less

 

[savethecat]

I'm guessing Jaiminisbox is skipping out on Poro. They had We Can't Study and U19 up by now

If Yuragi is a romance, then the genre is dead.

You just said the two possibilities, what are you trying to say?

That we cannot have the ending of this series for sure. Everything is possible.

Have you even read Yuragi?

 

[Leoat12]

There is no space for romance when there is boobs and butts flying everywhere, that's what I think about Yuragi.

Did you read the "I don't think" in the beginning of the phrase? It means that it is a opinion.

Once again you're judging Yuragi by its cover and refusing to read it.
Do you remember how silly you looked last time?
Yuragi is a very well written rom com manga. Just because it has some ecchi doesn't change the quality of its writing, characters, and atmosphere.

 

[Kefka Palazzo]

Yeah, 50 chapters of it. The romance is the worst part of it tbh.

The covers are the less ecchi part of the thing.
Jokes aside, I know how ecchi works and I know how ecchi readers think as well, ecchi is never enough for them, it is always "just a bit". I already had the opportunity to google Yuragi and see some images. It is far from what I tolerate. As for how ecchi works, ecchi ruins a series with the series is built around it.
I will read it eventually, I just find other things to read every week and don't have time enough,

When the ecchi is being built around it? You mean an ecchi series shouldn´t be ecchi at all, just be whatever? Men, you have a weird mind
