I feel like an assistant or someone on twitter who knows them denied this was the case.

Similarly I don’t think Amano is confirmed either? Like there’s one photo attributed to them and I’m unsure of the source. Like it’s still probable, but I’ve always held back on covering them as a woman of jump just in case.
Do you mean that Viz translator who said that he knows/met the mangaka?

3. In the last 15 years of new series , which manga do you think has tried to steer away from the cliche troupes that most manga under the shounen demographic tend to follow?
I don't read Chainsawman but I've skimmed the earlier chapters and the most recent ones and looking from here it's seems a bloody mess when it comes to shonen tropes.
The first arc of The promised Neverland did it sometimes too, but almost all of the shonen tropes are there.
I have a vague feeling that Stealth Symphony did it eventually too, but I don't remember why since I almost deleted that mess from my head. I just remember discussing this with someone back in the time it was published.

The same person who was linked in last page from twitter. I don’t know if the translator for Viz (Stefan Koza) has said anything on the matter?

Reminds me of Furudate.

"Furudate's gender is male. But Japanese fans think they are a woman. Their gender has never been official."

Still nothing official?

1.I don't read BC
2.Is difficult to say. Anime bost is always unpredictable.
3.I think the only one entirely do it is Stealth Symphony(and it was an axed manga). World trigger and some HxH arc try to do it, and Medaka make fun of them, but in general they end up following those cliches.
4. Yumi Hota and Obata -I'm more interested to see how different would be a new series by them than another Obataxnewbie or ObahxObata.
Nisio and Masaru Miyokawa
Sawai and Naoya - both are funny author and maybe they will mix well
5.Is like saying what is the best male mangaka, we have good talent no matter the gender.Answering the question, maybe hoshino or Yumi Hotta.

This guy? He claimed mangaka was a female then changed it to a male afterwards so idk.
Yeah that’s Stefan. I imagine he got as caught up in the rumour as anyone else.

It can get confusing at times. Like Hoshino Katsura referred to themselves with masculine or neutral pronouns even past the point of appearing publically (which makes for some weird omakes in Viz’s D Gray Man volumes if I’m remembering right).

Samurai 8 started a training arc in chapter 5 apparently, a bit like kimetsu in yaiba in the beginning.
And we know that the beginning of kimetsu in yaiba was complicated, but sam8 will not go through something like that because of the name kishimoto that is still strong.
But a difference between the beginning of yaiba and sam8 which is the sense of urgency that yaiba conveyed, and that caught you in Yaiba. Sam8 does not have this, even with the plot showing that it has an urgency to save the world.
The issue with Samurai 8 is twofold, Kishi's refusal to give proper grounding to the setting and story while at the same lacking strong characters. I barely know anything about the world of the series and how it operates, the central quest feeling like a background element. Hachimaru meanwhile is a terrible main character, he's already rather generic, which isn't an inherently bad thing (look at Asta), but his convictions are non-existent and have no connection to the "goal" of the story, and he lacks any characters to play off of. The result is that you have a very confusing manga which doesn't really have a strong aim or focus, and is just kinda going through the motions while on auto-pilot, all with cluttered and difficult to follow artwork.

Well, I actually used some spare time to reread Stealth Symphony and, while it was an awful weekly manga, it works well as a complete work. From my memory the manga were far more messed up than it actually is.

As Narita is a LN writer we should have expected this to happen and I'm glad I've decided reread it.

And YES, as I said before, it really does not follow the shonen tropes at all.

1. Don´t read BC, just watch the anime.
2. I think around the 150k in a month should be the optimal, but if Dr. Stone can gain 200k with the new the volume in a month, to me that would be a great success.
3-5. I´m still new to Jump, so I cant answer those questions right now.

1. BC though I dropped MHA after All Might vs AfO but sometimes I skim through it and it is still not getting better imo

3. Chainsawman and Saiki, for saiki it sort of didn't really steer away but just makes fun of them
4. Ryūhei Tamura and Shun Saeki
5. Reborn author

(Btw, I agree with most of what you wrote, but you could've posted just the text here.)
As I said, I simply didn't want to retype everything. Putting the twitter link is an act of pure laziness on my part.
