We need a very over the top gag manga with references to other WSJ titles, something like Bobobo/Takeshi. Moments like these are awesome

Neverland could be that great suspense/mystery we all ask for, but it couldn't help but turned into some kind of subpar action/political(ethical?) drama and ruined every little bit of mysteries by tell don't show world building.

We had David but it died. Its cancelation was so unfair.

I wasnt a fan of it and had a feeling itll flop. I cant really say it was unfair

Weird comparison, David was nothing like Bobobo, sometimes it feels more like a romcom than a actual gag manga

the most recent one that fits the bill is I'm from Japan.

Psst! It's Slifer the Executive Producer. Why do they keep getting it wrong?

I honestly don’t know what other route Neverland could have gone though. Like, did people expect a bunch of children to defeat human eating demons with brain power?

True, it was always meant to turn into a action manga, my personal problem is more that it became too shounen-ish and safe compared to the beginning.

 

[Thundercat27]

Even if it destined to become an average battle manga, the least the author could do is making them actually interract with the demon society and introducing more friendly demon character, which would make Emma's decision and the current conflict more believable (Emma free to know the demon society and find out they are just living beings try to survive versus Norman stuck in a cage and only know the evil demons). But he just needed to fuck everything up with the worst timeskip I ever read.

Reprint takes a while to appear on Oricon and Shoseki, Similar thing happened with vol 16 before which had a reprint on 9/6 but began to do better starting from 9/12

Interesting. Why?

Also, no ecchi in the pool? Disappointed. We need even more to love ru clones.

I've voted sports at first since sports has only Haikyuu. It usually had a second manga (Hinomaru reemplaced Kuroko) but now is only Haikyuu. BTW, romance is going to be in same situation when WNL ends, having only Yuuna-san and with an open slot for the second romcom series.

But I've changed the vote to gag. We had before up to 3 gag manga (Kochikame, Saiki and Isobe running at the same time), then when Saiki ended we had no gag mangas, then David and Japan which died, and now we have only Miitama. Sooo, I would axe one battle shonen and put a gag series.

Lastly, I didn't never feel mistery/suspense as one of main Jump type of series. For what I've seen of Jump classification of series, they define them in 4 categories: action (which include adventures and suspense), sports, romance, and comedy (aka gag).

 

[Blink22]

Ok guys, imagine you can resurrect an old Jump classic into main roster. What would you pick? PD: Dragon Ball and JoJo are not eligible

For me, it would be Saint Seiya. Maybe Hokuto no Ken

Bring back proper D. Gray-Man

Good night sweet princess, we hardly knew thee

 

[Kakuri]

I want a shounen politics theme manga in shonen jump, I know that's a hard pitch for an editor but if done right I think it will be a hit, make it a slice of life partly with some action, comedy, mystery, romance, suspense and a little bit of drama, more like what bakuman did but bakuman did not go further down the line, I want this to be a full blown politics on the end game.

 

[TyVip]

U19 is about politics.

Jokes aside i don't think the current demographics care about politics lol, so i don't think it will be a hit.

 

[tirakai]

We need a new series for a few genres really

- Soma and Zumou ended, and Haikyuu's probably ending soon, so we need a new sports series
- WNL and Yuuna probably both don't have too long left so we'll need a new romcom soon
- Neverland and Dr Stone have solved all their mysteries (and Neverland's probably ending soon) so we need a new mystery manga
- and for gag stuff we've got Mitama which just started but there's no guarantee it'll stick

we're fine on fighting and adventure but other genres will need some new hits soon.

 

[Mammo]

I wouldn't mind any of the options listed for a new manga
my only restraint is if they're gonna add another battle manga please don't make it about exorcists or fighting demons

Beelzebub though not an old classic. Tamura might have a chance to turnaround his continuous bottom ranking if it was in the current main roster.

Beelzebub wasn't cancelled

Had to go gag/comedy since I'm just not seeing Miitama as being a big hit. I'm still dreaming of the next Samon-kun or Saiki, and my heart just won't let me give up on it.

Samon never escaped the 30k club
Saiki volumes only managed to hit 100k while still on Oricon 50 a few times
neither were big hits

I honestly don’t know what other route Neverland could have gone though. Like, did people expect a bunch of children to defeat human eating demons with brain power?

they should have ended it with the kids escaping and running to the sunset, let the readers imagination fills the gaps on what happens after that

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

In short-term I will be happy just if we don't get our "fight against the demons" manga number 4526.

We have already 4 series with that premise at the same time. Even 5 if you would count Black Clover (I don't count it in that category though).

 

[Mammo]

since the new season is here I'm wondering when will they announce the return date of GIGA

its return announcement have basically become a pseudo announcement for an established title ending
