Honestly, I think this could be really interesting depending on its execution. Though I really can’t see this being played for comedy at all. The spoilers already have me asking questions out of interest. I was more or less expecting a more serious tone (or at least something more serious than Undead Unluck and MASHLE). I’ll temper my expectations for now, just because it’s always good to keep those in check, but I’m hopeful.
I believe the third series was Ziga, which was dark but it was with kaiju instead of demons. Was definitely the most forgettable of the three.
Aw, Wani is so cute.
Actually I was thinking of Bozebeats it looks like which was the round before with act-age. Scrolling through the list of series on Wikipedia just out of ones I know dark fantasy stuff isn't that rare with or without demons. We usually get a few each year.
It's really nice new authors get comments and recommendations from such huge mangaka as Osamu. Still, it's really crazy to me that Shiro Usazaki in a span of 2 years has gone from doing Twitter fanart to being recommended by such a huge author. I really want to look forward her future works after Act-Age ends, and if she keeps being paired with Matsuki, the better.
Naw Fuji and Hori are definitely not friends lol. Both of them are already highly eccentric in ways that don't mesh well with people, I doubt multiplying that together would lead to social interactions between them
How do you know Fujimoto is eccentric? Yeah, his series are, that doesn't necessarily mean he himself is.
A certain interview portrays him in a certain light. Plus circumstantial info you pick up from various media.
That's not mutually exclusive though. You can be a fujoshi/shipper and still appreciate those aspects of a series.
LOL
Your basic premise was that highly eccentric people don't mesh well with other people. In other words, highly eccentric people don't have friends.
I think it's more that the other options are more enticing, not that Shimabu returning isn't desirable.
Toriko is a very hyped and praised series in this forum, so i don't know how you got the feeling most here didn't read or dropped the series.

Or just improve his writing like every other author that failed before
Either would be fine. I just like writers being paired with mangaka, since it lessens their workload.
What's interesting is the series was based on a one-shot from Yoko. Many people think one of his assistants drew it and he wrote it under a pen name.
It was pretty much him, he was not only promoting the manga on his twitter but also never mentioned Sano Rokuro name in his tweets, only talking about his long time assistant publishing a series
Good take. I agree that the west complains more, but that doesn't mean that the Japanese can't feel the same way. There is often some correlation with western and Japanese fanbase. Bleach declined similarily in the west and MHA looks to be going in the same direction. Most of the popular series in the west are the same series that are popular in Japan.
That spot belongs to Black Clover though in WSJ.
