"Too cute" looking characters are always a warning signal.

Spoiler

 

[Doughboy]

Did anyone here watched Monster Rancher anime? now that is an amazing shonen monster training franchise

Bro this was one of my favorite games as a kid. I would love a monster training manga in Jump, I can't believe we don't have one.

 

[Sir Isley]

First episode looked good and went well, but holy shit Asta is terrible. Dude was legit screaming for at least a quarter of the episode. Besides that I see why people get Naruto x FT vibes now. Wizard King? Magic Entrance Exams? Rivals that grew up together? Magic and wizards? Demon that resides in the mc? Am I missing something?

That's incorrect

 

[WyldViolet]

I don't even think it finished its run on FoxKids. It was shuffled about on its sister network Fox Family where it they aired the final episodes which also aired alongside Shinzo which was another shounen adventure series inspired by Journey To The West (where have I heard that before?) from Toei.

Fuck i loved Shinzo! Watched it on the Disney channel that ran it in the early 00s.

Uhm, it hasn't been explicitly stated yet but it's pretty obvious.

I mean what's more unsubtle than this from ch 1?

Umm that's coming from the sword not him.

 

[Avok]

It's literally shown to be coming from the sword:

After episode 2 when does the other characters start to appear?

 

[Sir Isley]

And the text clearly says inside the book resides a demon or devil if you go by Viz.

After episode 2 when does the other characters start to appear?

More characters will appear in 2 and the rest in 3 probably.

 

[WyldViolet]

Eh, still. Tabata is a hack writer who can't come up with anything original, let alone execute generic derivative elements in a decent or clever way.

So since you lost let's attack the writer yay.

A mistake of mine doesn't suddenly erase his flaws. Even BC fans agree the writing is the weakest part of the series by faaar.

This new series is so far out of what Jump usually offers, that they have to write on the cover "※This is Jump" and surround it with Luffy, Hinata and Deku in order for people to believe this is Weekly Shonen Jump and not some weird new magazine using the same logo. I know Akimoto said that Jump is constantly in motion, so they serialize series from time to time that are rather adventurous but this is almost borderline ridiculous. This looks like a spin-off manga for Hello Kitty or something done in CoroCoro. Unless there is a huge twist or its just overall done well, I can't see Jump's readership sticking with it for a while. There were people on 2ch that said that Heroaca was more suited for CoroCoro due to it supposedly being that juvenile. I wonder what this is to them then.

I said more or less the same thing some pages ago and people talked to me as if I was crazy, so I will let it go.

 

[Sir Isley]

Also he doesn't fit the definition of a "hack writer"

Because you've read a lot of from different writing mediums right? Yeah, Tabata blows Italo Calvino, Phil Elverum, and Asano Inio out of the water.
He's not even good as a popcorn writer. Fucking Kubo and Amano are better writers lol.
Black Clover is a trainwreck I can usually only read ironically.

Seen and read way way worse.

Lol@Kubo being better aka the guy that drags out a fight to where it makes Frieza's 5 mins nonsense look like 30 seconds.

you said the editors are going insane, I replied I don't see how it's more ridiculous that Luckyman or Midori Makibao

I would like to remind everyone that the biggest hit that came from Jump in recent years is about a yellow octopus with a smile emoticon for a head

This is a pointless conversation that will just get me banned.
Kubo ain't good, but he's sure as hell better than Tabata. Especially if you compare where the two series were at the same point.

That's an oversimplification. While, this case may also be an oversimplification, Koro-sensei came from a series named "Assassination Classroom". The title is an immediate contrast to the character itself. Lycopene on the other hand, has this kind of art:

From the one shot:

Actual panels from the oneshot:

The one thing it has going for it is that it seems like an unusual comedy series. The above panels show the squirrel/whatever that is asking the Owl how babies are born and the Owl flat out says that they are born from the Mother's body to which the squirrel creature asks how they get in there. The punch line is "Through Sex, of course". The narration is reiterating said punchline. I just have to wonder how many more of these types of comedy series they're going to bring into the magazine. They already have No. 1 and Isobe.

I really like poodle's artstyle. Very clean and simplistic.
