Do the viz promised neverlands volumes have a color insert?

 

[Leoat12]

As far as I'm concerned, no Jump manga volume has color pages and as such any edition in any country will not have either.

 

[TyVip]

If you say build king fast enough it’ll turn into

Build-ing

 

[Aipom626]

Noah's Note is probably gonna be a bit like Samon, with a normal girl getting involved with a super-natural oddball. Although this time the girl is a gyaru.

Saying this is one of the top things one could do to get my hyped about something. The character designs look cool, I hope it's funny and compelling. I see people have been mentioning this author, I guess I'll have to look into what else he's done in WSJ to get an idea of how this may go.

Tabata was a Spring Weapon No.1 fan, wow.

So, Oda is watching Oh my Jump! I'm watching it too, and enjoying it a lot.

EDIT:


Wow, that sounded a lot like One Piece in a certain way

Man I hope this turns out to be as interesting as it looks!

Here's the final chapter (untranslated) of Spring Weapon for those who may be curious to see how it wrapped up: http://lhscans.com/read-spring-weapon-no.-1-raw-chapter-67.html

All-in-all, it seems like it had a pretty happy ending. Looks like every plot point was pretty much resolved and we get to see the gang all back together again, a very generous ending for our favorite survival anomaly. Farewell Spring Weapon No. 1; your zany hijinks were truly too good for this world...

we need a baseball manga in spring, please deliver jump!

surely someone can finally attempt to create something as gram of as good as ace of diamond act 2, the writers decades long reign of baseball manga has to be challenged.

 

[Nemesis]

You know what we need? An idol manga.

 

[savethecat]

Wonder what the angle that’s Ziga Ziga will go in. Survival? Will they need to fight the monsters?
Looks really unique for Jump

The failure of the dance manga strongly suggests and highly implies idol manga will do badly

After Koisome Momiji, I came to the conclusion that this genre is too good for Jump. Its readers don't understand its beauty.

 

[Mr.Fujimaster]

I still want to see a space battle manga.
A Surf manga would be interesting as well.

 

[savethecat]

Jujutsu Kaisen really nails the nasty early-Bleach vibe. But I dropped when his grandfather died after a page. That was way too callous for a shonen.

Act Age kinda fits the bill.

Ten to one the girl transforms into the monster.

In the preview the girl looks like she’s in fear too, so doubt it.

 

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

Jujutsu Kaisen feels like a poor mans Bozebeats (says a lot), being super generic and just feeling outright meh. Plus we got another Golem Hearts with the slow as heck first chapter pacing. I don’t really get what Jump was thinking serialising two series that are so similar in consecutive rounds, but I can totally see this getting eaten alive.

Will it get eaten by something else? Probably but certainly not by Bozebeats. Boze will be gone or on its way out by the time Jujutsu is getting it's first ranking.

 

[Koi Kage]

More then likely a combination of the two. I don't personally think it looks all that interesting, but that might change once the chapter comes out.

Well there is elDlive which is technically a space battle manga. Is surfing even a big thing in Japan?

 

[savethecat]

I would be interested in a street racing series if we were going sports.

I fully support this idea, surfing is a sport that really hasnt been touched upon in manga or anime, tho dont make it a poor man´s Free, make it a legit sport manga with a story

Since we are making suggestions, how about a paintball manga? Just throwing my cents out there

 

[CallMeTsuyu]

I recall my brother mentioning how he would love to see a paintball manga. The way he described what he imagined it would be like got me kind of excited for the prospect of a sports manga like that, despite my lack of knowledge on the sport. He also mentioned how cool it would be to have a chess manga with matches represented Shokugeki-style. Personally, I would love to see a skateboarding or BMX manga. A proper e-sports manga focused on fighting games would be a dream come true, since competitive play is my bread-and-butter hobby, . Imagining characters based off top players in the FGC, like Daigo Umehara, Justin Wong, Sanford Kelly, SonicFox, etc. would be amazing.

it's called splatoon the manga .

I'm still sad that Himedol never took off. I thought it was pretty good.

 

[nonowa]

Himedoll had a decent one shot murdered by the jump to serialization. Every decision they took was completely misguided.

 

[Tamil]

But he did.

He didn't introduce a new warlord/admiral every arc...

There's so many major characters we barely know anything about, of course we're going to see one every arc. An arc just spend on a minor demon of the week or something without some kind of big character introduction would feel like filler at this point. Also consider that if it continues to give each their own 15-30 chapter arc in the spotlight, that's 100-200 chapters between them rest of them even if they never returned for a second arc.

Plus Gotouge herself is probably really excited to show off all the cool characters she's come up with.

Lol? Make an arc focused on Muzan/Upper Moon Demon's, it's doesn't have to be a minor demon, we're far past that.

I think it's ridiculous to have an arc focused on each pillar EVERY arc. It's too formulaic for my tasting.

Do we have the exact quote Shima said about a building manga?

Nope. I do remember him saying he wanted to do something "new" and this is may be what he's hinting at.
