Bleach now isnt what it was 3 years ago.

Just recently for example both it and OPs volume came out at the same time and OP volume ranked higher and lasted 3-4 weeks to Bleachs 2-3 weeks

For the ones that are afraid that Dr. Stone is going to be a love story, just remember about the interview Boichi made in his website. He complained that JUMP and Inagaki doens't pay any attention to the female characters, so probably it's not going to be a love story.

 

[xAsum0x]

That was along the lines of drawing fanservice since that's what Boichi likes to do.

No one is saying that just because of a female character it has to be a love story the reason why some think it'll be a love story is that the viz teaser came across as it being a love story.

Aw man, I hope a Kimetsu anime is announced at Jump Festa this year. That would be so rad.

"What if you finally find the stones to make a love confession, only to find out that everyones been turned to stone.

It's not a love story and Viz's teaser did not make it come across that way.
Everyone has been turned to stone, including the recipient of the would be love confession.
Mc's are going on an adventure to turn them back some how, not try and double team Shakuyaku.

 

[shoyoboyo]

I'm liking Study-koi a lot more that I thought I would. This chapter was pretty nice, although it's mainly because this new girl is better than the first two. Not that the other two are bad, this girl just more likable. Too bad she won't win though because the golden rule of harems is that the childhood friend never wins. I've already fallen for the trap, haven't I?

Also, I just want to point out that maybe the reason why the author introduced a new girl early is because he wants to try to get more characters out earlier to grasp a wider audience with different girls with different personalities? That way he can catch more of those early votes needed to dodge the axe.

 

[Nakura]

I haven't read past chapter 1. I have zero interest to read more to be honest. If I don't feel any need to read more then I'm out. U19 is still holding my attention, and I haven't read Poro ch.2 yet, but I'll get round to it.

 

[xAsum0x]

Yeah the story is too bland for me. I like romances but the plot is super uninteresting

 

[savethecat]

I enjoyed the first couple chapters, but can't see myself keeping up with it. Especially if it goes the typical harem route

[TyVip]

This is what we called Editor's mind game right lol?

 

[savethecat]

Jesus Christ. Just noticed Soma is below Isobe Isobee

 

[WyldViolet]

The Promised Neverland bottom 5!?
Ridiculously excited for the new Yagi oneshot. I had my issues with Claymore, but I loved Angel Denetsu.
Would be neat to see him do a weekly series again if he can handle it.

 

[Avok]

Holy cow! Soma is actually dead last.

 

[Scruffy8642]

One Shot by Yagi! Excited.
MHA is absent, so I guess he was sick or something like was shown in last weeks chapter.
Dat Shokugeki drop.
Put Spring Weapon out of its misery already.
Yaiba and Gintama doing awesome. Wonder what chapter that was for Gintama, because there hasnt been a significant boost/drop in hype at any point over this arc.

 

[Tamil]

When was the last time Isobe got a CP?
