Also, his art improved af since Poro, at least based in the color page

I still don't like the coloring but the designs are cute

Mission of Yozakura family chapter 01 color spread

my instinct says, this manga may survive. mark my word. my instinct tingle lastly activated on Act-age & tokyo shinobi squad.my instinct will fully active when the chapter drops ofc

 

[Stivie]

I'm really looking forward to it, seems like it might have a similar feel to Baccano or DRRR, with a quirky mafia cast, and the cover page seems to suggest a romance that isn't a harem, I hope the first chapter doesn't disappoint.

True, if each is a couple it may be interesting.
the red-haired boy and the girl in blue are a couple and the guy in black must be the girl's father (just a kick)
There's the shirtless guy and the pink-haired girl who looks cooler.
And finally the girl in white and the blond boy in the black outfit.
Only the guy with the bucket on his head is alone.

On the US Jump twitter they called it an “Hilarious Action series, with a lot of heart”.

So I’m guessing it’s definitely a battle shonen, with Comedy and Romance elements.

I know a lot of people are saying it’s a “Action/Comedy” or “Rom/Com”, or a “Action/Romance”.
But they prioritized calling it a Action series, and just included that it was also funny. So I’m expecting it be Action before all else

didn't they call Yui Kamio a supernatural battle series or something back when it was starting up?

Mission of Yozakura family chapter 1 is pretty nice. It has action, drama, humor and even love. Some parts remind me to Assassination Classrrom.

 

[Nakura]

I'm digging the art and character designs. It looks like a lot of fun. Hoping Gondaira can succeed because I saw potential in Poro.

So it's an all-purpose hybrid then? Interesting, that's definitely a niche which Jump is kinda lacking right now.

So Jujutsu is finally coming to Spain.

In 8 weeks we'll see how Yozakura does in Tocs. I don't see it getting a top-5 spot since the 4 first places are usually closed for Kimetsu, OP, Neverland and Stone and the 5th place is a fluctuation between Black Clover, Hero Academia and Jujutsu. So a 6th to 8th or 9th place and consolidate it for 4-5 weeks over all the newbies (there is a big cushion and Kamio Yui isn't ending for now) + Yuuna + maye Act-tage and Chainsawman would be very good news for its survival.

 

[ElJin]

I'm really excited about Yozakura. Loved the GFC's winner one-shot and liked Poro, so I'm cheering for this mangaka. The art is dope too.

Btw, Black Clover's CP:

Spoiler

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Count me on the Yozakura hype train, we may be on something good, I enjoyed Genjui Toteku so I’m Crossing my fingers for this one

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

lol it's really rare to see Redon commenting about the chapter 1 of a new series, must be really good.

It really doesn't matter, if the manga is very well received it can totally be in the top 5, the top 5 today isn't nearly as hard to achieve as it was years ago (before Nakano), so i don't see why you're making it seems something so hard to achieve when excluding One Piece and maybe Yaiba, isn't really rare to see Stone and Neverland out of the top 5

Why you singling out Nakano? To me, the ease of the Top 5 is more the result of so many iconic series leaving the period of 2014-2016.

Because it's been pretty obvious how the toc became less relevant since he started as editor in chief, if it was how it was before him, Yaiba (before anime) wouldn't have half of the great positions it had, Dr. Stone wouldn't be pushed so much in the top 5, BNHA would be fighting neck at neck with One Piece for the "1st place" of the toc like it was few years ago before "suddenly" falling to the middle and the list goes on.

The "iconic" series ending can make it easy, sure, but SJ today have two of their biggest series being constantly placed in the middle or sometimes even in the bottom for no reason at all (not like Bleach that was dropping in popularity), while mangas that barelly sell over 100k are being placed higher many times or even in the 1st place, this would hardly happen before Nakano.

Eh, fair argument. I think the changes in handling comes down simply to priorities. With the kettle hot on TPN, KNY and Stone (insert joke about Stone's sales here) due to their anime, it makes sense to push them to the front of the pack, while the likes of MHA and Haikyu need it less because they've become so significant. OP I would assume is kept at the front for brand reasons, it's basically Jump's mascot at this point. I'd actually argue it has much the same role nowadays that Kochikame had during the Big 3 era.

FYI, the blurb for Yozakura says "If you look at them like this, they're family, but however you look at them, they're oddballs." and the title of the first chapter is "Mission 1: The Cherry Blossom Ring" ("ring" as in the thing you wear on your finger, not, like, a crime syndicate, or something).

As a fan of AssClass, I get a good feeling from that cover.

 

[4Eyes]

So there's no edgy sh!t on Yozakura? Just a good old action + comedy? Can I get an amen?

Im new to this site but I thought I might chime in, I'm trying to make a Reddit for the new series of Yozakura-san Chi no Daisakusen. I wanted to know if there was any info on what it was about?

You should use the English translated title, IMO. But, aside from that, we don't have an official synopsis yet. On the shonen jump Twitter it's said to be an action series that'll make you laugh, and it has heart.

Woah woah there, calm down with the reddit. Wait to read it first
