Just finished Rookies today. Was interesting to see how successful it was despite ranking pretty badly for most of its run. Wondered why it had millions of sales and was one of the best selling series in 2008 despite ending 5 years earlier, but I guess thats due to the live action series it recieved.
Absolutely loved the series, and it really makes me wish we had a delinquent series in the magazine currently. Its sad we havent had one since Beelzebub, the closest thing we’ve had are the ! demons in Samon lol. Absolutely love Morita, and hope Beshari Gurashi is translated too some day. From what Ive seen, he’s struggled with a weekly serialisation since Rookies was running, and Beshari Gurashi moved magazine and took 10 years to finish, so I wonder if he’ll ever write another series.
