I'm not really one to complain about mild spoilers like this but that page was so good in context that I really wish you put a spoiler tag on it lolFallen Angels released a batch of Hinomaru chapters today and reminded me again why Kawada needs to return with a battle shonen after he is done with Hinomaru.
Here's a few quick thoughts I have about it. I wish there were a few more chapters translated so I could go more in depth.
Fine with me
Can someone explain what Jump Awakening is? I only know it involves Jujutsu and Act-age, but nothing else. Is it an event, a campaign?
But that would mean we're getting another serialization round in a month. If we're only getting another serialization round in two months, then Act-age would be approaching the 30 chapter mark which would lead to four volumes. The manga has been recently nominated for that award and it is part of Jump Awakening with Jujutsu Kaisen, whatever Jump Awakening is(please someone explain what it is).
Peace out Ziga. Truly a deserving member of the U19 club if I've ever seen one.
This all but confirms that Act-Age is safe for the time being. Double volume release must be to try to stimulate hype.
I feel like part of the reason Noah's Notes is so far behind is that the chapters are incredibly text-heavy, and the dialogue seems rather complex since it brings up all this archaeology stuff. Hopefully Act-Age will start to catch up though.
Although I'd want to see it last longer, I would call ending at 10 volumes for a complete newbie to be successful enough. I would've liked to see Samon go on longer, but I wouldn't call 10 volumes a complete failure. With Act-Age getting this nomination, CP, and being a member of this Jump Awakening thing, I'd say there's a 90-95% chance that it will be solidly safe for at least one more serialization round. I can't see all of the new serializations being huge hits, so I doubt it'll end up being the lowest seller in the magazine for the time being.
And some shonen jump+ titles are nominated for the web manga division as Jigokuraku and Summertime render, Ao No Flag took the third place last year.
Obviously I don't know for sure, but when you look at the chapters, that's just not likely. It makes little sense to start expanding the cast and set up a bunch of plot important matches if you just want to get to the end. Even less so that you'd spend almost two volumes (a fifth of the total chapter count) on a tournament's first round opponent whose impact on the bigger picture is rather limited. If you want to cut your series short, it seems to me that it'd be a lot more sensible to get to the climax as quickly as possible, only drawing some key events along the way, and focus on that for the ending. Frankly, this last chapter makes it look as if Fujimaki had no idea he'd get cancelled when he was drawing the penultimate one.
From what I understand, "Jump Awakening" is a sort of cross promotional campaign, where Jump is trying to push Jujutsu Kaisen and Act Age as new additions to the magazine and build up reader interest. I think they do it every so often with new series, "Jump Rising" which was a similar deal happened a while ago. Either way, it looks like good news for people who'd like to see more of Jujutsu and ActAge.
