Lol that's a good point. Something like hero studies would have a fairly large humanities component considering the messed up stuff they'd encounter daily, just like real life majors where workers will encounter death/tragedy as part of the job do. Eh, don't sweat the details.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Also, they have more english lessons than japanese lessons. I'll take it as superhero stuff was born in USA

1st year, learn the basics so you can fall back to the normal life with normal jobs, I'm guessing the courses will get more specific as we go on

 

[jagman1x3]

Use the MHA thread for this please.

That brings up a general question about wsj series, why does nobody seem to go to school in some fantasy series? I get that the main character wouldn't because they have to adventure but schools don't even seem to exist in One Piece for example (unless you count marine academy).

Some jump writer needs to pen the Harry Potter of SHonen Jump, would read in a heartbeat. School Life series are some of the best things around, and combined with magic Mahouka Koukou style, we could have a true hit on our hands.

We've had a secret magic school series before, Mx0.

Isn't One Piece set in something like the middle ages? Public schools weren't a big thing at that time.

 

[tirakai]

One Piece has TVs and and telephones, it's relatively modern as far as fantasy stuff goes.

And then you've got HxH which has videogames and stuff.

Because the power of friendship is the only teaching you need to be a champion.

Because Mx0 was a smash hit.

 

[WyldViolet]

Because Mx0 was a smash hit.

It should have been...

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Damn... so close to reaching 100 chaps but Jump said "NOPE! AXE FOR YOU !"

 

[ChocoBar9]

One Piece really does have a hold on whether spoilers come early or not huh?

 

[jagman1x3]

It should have been...

I haven't actually read it and I can't tell who's serious here anymore, is this sarcasm or was it actually good?

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Mx0 is the manga which most rage I've ever seen for being axed.

For me, is Sesuji wo Pin.

Yeah, it's really good. I can see you liking it a lot.

Yeah, even more so when OP is on break this issue...

Mx0 obviously .

Illegal Rare easily. So much potential. Great world, incredible atmosphere, cool and interesting characters (and design), genuinely funny yet also super intense.
Turned what could have been an edgy mess in the hands of most mangaka into something really good.

Shuudan absolutely. So much potential. Genuinely felt like being a kid again on my youth soccer team.

Personally, I adored Hungry Marie but I can see why it didn't catch on with many. Beelzebub as well while we're at it. It's better at being Gintama than Gintama.

Magico was the most charming thing on the planet.

Ultra Battle Satellite was great. Can't wait for the mangaka to return.

Psyren is an easy answer but for a reason. Also liked Kagamigami.

I was quite fond of Golem Hearts as well tbh.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I remember Enigma in 2010. I really liked Enigma. At least it lasted like 40 chapters if I recall well.
