Jujutsu Kaisen is fucking sick.

Textbook example of why Black Clover's problems aren't because it's generic, but because it's poorly written and has no thought put into the world or characters.

There is nothing in Jujutsu I haven't seen in another manga many times. It reads like a combination of so many different battle seres. Despite that you can tell the mangaka is personally invested with what he's created. It's his passion.

Very excited this series is doing well.
Noah's Notes is still better though...

Fuck, now I HAVE to read it. Thanks man. THANKS.

While I do enjoy Jujutsu and hope it survives, I think the praise is a little overblown. It's entertaining yes, but it's pretty simple. I don't see much of the passion that Rica is praising it for. The fights are pretty bare bones, with many scenes being *teleports behind you* tier. To be honest the fights are probably the weakest part right now (not counting world building since we're not even 20 chapters in). They look cool but it's a very basic kind of cool if that makes sense. I'd say the characters and their interactions are carrying it for me, with the conversation between Yuuji and Megumi during that scene being the best part so far.

Even after saying all this, I still enjoy reading it and wish it was released by chapter instead of batches. What's up with that, Jaimini?

Interesting

LOL

Care to give a more in depth response or is that all?

It's definitly not perfect, but the simplicity is part of its charm for me (like say Kimetsu no Yaiba even though I've been bored by it for a while now). Feels like something that would fit in great during early 00's Jump.
I do think the passion is pretty apparent, but I'll write more on the subject soon. I'm on my phone atm.

Not sure if that's giving it praise or an insult.

If anything it's neat to see the imprint that era on Jump has left today with series directly inspired by it .

Can you elaborate on this seemingly clear inspiration? Cause to someone like me who hasn't read much of early 2000s jump, it seems more like some baseless claim. The only inspiration I can see is Bleach, and that doesn't seem like something that would account for that whole era.

Bleach, D. Gray Man, Busou Renkin, Black Cat, etc.
Edgier, less whimsical series with a focus on a "cool" factor. We also had Death Note and Muhyo and Roji from the period.
Early 2000's had a notably distinct feel from other eras from Jump.
Even as whimsical and light hearted as Reborn! was it still had an edgy look with its mafia and firearms aesthetics.
I'm gonna write out a thing tomorrow comparing different periods in Jump so I'll elaborate more then.

I see us getting somewhere like that again though with The Promised Neverand, Jujutsu Kaisen, and the current directions of My Hero Academia Black Clover, and Kimetsu no Yaiba raising the stakes of their respective universes.

I wonder if the chapter will be a prequel to movie, a like pt1 adaptation of the movie's first third or half, or just some side story, all of which have been done for other movies before. Unless hes going to go all out and try to adapt the whole movie in 1 chapter.

Guess BLack Clover missed the DATE cut off, lowkey mad. Promised Neverland too.

[Mankichi Togawa]

Surprised D.Grayman and Reborn managed to get their own room.

Any news about volume 3 artbook?

 

[Mammo]

ANN changed their synopsis for Tanaka Seiji, it says nothing about creating a manga now

new
"Tanaka Seiji manga follows the titular character, who is a private secretary. With Tanaka's support, a company can become invincible and can achieve any future it desires. The first chapter will have an opening color page and will have 54 pages."

old
"A government employee who placed first in a manga magazine contest debuts in this magazine!!"

at hindsight, the creating a manga bit might be referencing the author not the mc

anyway, this seems to be like running a business with superpowers manga

Strange that the show stops at My Hero, since characters in post-2014 works are shown in the poster:

 

[tirakai]

I remember Jujutsu Kaisen's first 3 chapters felt like Bleach 2 to me a bit. Haven't read past that though.

What exactly do you mean? Cause there will still be illustrations and such of currently running and non running manga.

That I have not seen in the map rooms dedicated to manga post 2014, and it's strange considering that in the poster there are also characters of those series.
