Has the 5th chapter come out yet? Also, I'm really enjoying it so far, it's nice to see another side of the "hero" society that wasn't really explored much in the main series.
I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying it. It actually does a great job at world building the main series, not to mention that the characters are fun and play off of each other nicely.
it's fun, I like that the premise deal with low street levels crimes and leave the rest to the pros
they did say they won't pick it up no?

I know Shonen Gangan had Run Day Burst and Shonen Rival had Blazer Drive both didn't do too well but I think something like Speed Racer would work really well in Jump
and for that matter where did all the giant mecha manga went to?
what was even the last giant mecha we got in jump? does anyone remember? what happen to Level 5 mecha manga they announced last year?
I haven't read Kenshin yet, but it can't be that bad. I mean, it can't possibly be worst than Bleach.
Yes those OVAs are a masterpiece that's almost too good for the franchise. Revelations and Shin Kyoto Arc are terrible though.

You are a rarity in itself my friend, the Kyoto arc is one of those premiere arcs that nobody shuts up about (Dark Tournament, Stardust Crusaders, Frieza, Alabasta, Soul Society, Chuunin Exam, Chimera Ants, etc.) and Jinchuu is considered a significant step down from it. Overall I agree that much like YYH Kenshin gets oversold for more than what it is so it might not live up to the same hype for most people when they realized that when people say Kenshin is good they specifically mean that certain aspects of Kenshin is good. Kenshin came out when Jump was in destitute and had lost what were their three pillars at the time (Slam Dunk, Dragonball and YYH) and for the first time in years was getting beat by Sunday thanks to Detective Conan becoming a huge hit so before the onslaught of One Piece came in and literally destroyed the competition Kenshin was considering the last stand Jump had so it premiered at the time where the magazine didn't have much to stand against it so in short it just got lucky but unfortunately Watsuki has never gotten another hit of its magnitude ever again and had resorted to crawling back to it to make ends meet. Its definitely not the worst successful Jump series (that title goes to Reborn) but I can definitely see why people would be more critical towards it now.
Sunday never beat Jump. It was Magazine that beat Jump temporarily in 1997 when Jump's Print circulaion was around 4.05 Million and Magazine subsequently peaked at 4.36 Million and that was due to the fact that the series had become rather more seinen like. A lot of the series in the time period between 1995 and 1997 that were running were written with content that appealed to adults more than kids. Adults that read Shonen Jump want the stuff that appeals to kids, not them. Otherwise they'd read seinen manga. Kids also weren't as into it and so the print circulation dropped but that was true for the industry as a whole. Its just that soon after Dragon Ball ended, lots of people stopped buy Jump and so they experienced a significant drop. It should be noted that the print numbers were also possibly inflated. One Piece put Jump back on Top again.
I understand your point, I, too, agree that Yu Yu Hakusho isn't a masterpiece, but I just can't agree with this part. I honestly think that Yu Yu Hakusho at its worst is better than Saint Seiya at its finest.
