@yadayada you're exaggerating how this would effect the series longevity and how much Shuiesha cares. Believe it or not they have had similar issues like this in the past and acted accordingly.

Aside from the fact that I'm pretty sure China is a bigger market than that, again, I'm not exaggerating anything. I merely said "Shueisha is not happy with the situation", and unless you think they are or they literally don't give a single damn, you really can't say I exaggerated.

Well, first we actually have to establish Andy's full character before his character can go through a development. We are still only 3 chapters in and in all three actions scenes took1/3-1/2 of the content. So far we know he is immortal, got no tact, has no problems running around naked, was in the war or several wars, is rich af considering his weapon hideouts and he got yachts waiting for him and probably planes as well and what not, is direct, a jerk, good at fighting, would love to die for real, can cut hair, has no sense of personal space, is actually quite a battle thinker trying to figure out opponents negators while hiding his as good as he can or mislead his opponents, refuses to have sex with "desperate women" and well i think that's it. And most of the stuff I named are abilities not characterization like for example is afraid of the dark or loves to eat Burgers or is a dog person or his hobby is to play chess or stuff like that.
Think he might like Vodka as well :3c

I know that this controversy caused the redrawing of mosques in the final fight of Part 3 for the later printings of Volumes 27 and 28, but can any one with the hardcover Viz release confirm if it has the original or the redrawn versions?

Of course they're not happy because they're being accused of advocating war crimes not because they're losing the Chinese market.

How about because of both? I really don't understand your point or view.

Do you really think shueisha wouldn't care at all about losing a relevant market?

It's the redrawned. The newer JoJo reprints has the new version and it was only the long out of print first edition that came unedited which was recalled.

Why does it have to be both? If Shuiesha valued that market why is it that 90% of the audience share who complained about the word were ripped from pirated copies of Jump?

I really want to know what is going through Hirikoshi's head. It is not every day you name a character and find out they share the same name with war crime victims. I really hope he is doing ok.
But in my opinion he knew very well what that name meant, simply no one expected such an exaggerated reaction.

There's something strangely funny about saying that Yuuna is like a shojo manga.
Makes sense to me. Over time the series kind of shifted from being from mainly Kogarashi's point of view, to being from the various girls' points of view for most chapters. Lots of time gets spent on what characters are thinking or feeling, including about romance stuff. There are certainly chapters that wouldn't be particularly out of place in a shojo series aside from some ecchi moments.

I definitely think that was a more unfortunate instance than the one we have now. The anime screwed up big time on that one. In the original manga, the text was just gibberish. So that was an oversight from the anime. I have no problem if someone made up a fictional religion based on my religion, even more so if a delusional villain claimed he was the prophet of said fictional religion.

I don't even mind the depictions of places of worship so long it's just used as backgrounds (which most fiction uses anyway).

I know that the newer Viz Jojoniums have the original color pages from Jump. I'm wondering if they tinkered with those because I know that the greyscaled versions of the color pages in the tankobons were affected.


I don't remember if anyone has linked this yet, but..
All hail the pigeon man.

Pretty sure he died a couple times in his life due alcohol poisoning. If you can heal your hang-over with death and just be regenerated without hang-over you gonna do that. xD

More than China or Korea banning Bnha, I'm more worried about Hori's health, all this backlash must've caused him troubles. Maybe he doesn't care but who knows.
But what ban? It is not even published by them ......

no, they start in wsj 11 and wsj 12



i'm interested in the hinomaru zumou look alike one
They both look really nice. I sure hope we're getting them.


So after reading Guardian of the Witch, i can see the both sides, i kinda dig the couple of main characters, the art and you can see a potential to become something good, but man, the author could have used the battle shounen textbook a bit less, or at least make a better climax, because overall the first chapter was super cliche, totally by the book and the whole city was clearly inspired by AoT, it wasn't bad but even more typical than Zipman but at least the first chapter of Zipman had a better climax for a battle shounen with a big battle, here it was just 4 weird dudes with knifes being defeated like flies, the rest was Fafner with the typical mc speech about "i will protect you and become the number one of something".

Again, i didn't think was bad but the author better be working for the next chapters because it can quickly become something totally forgettable.

About Mashle, i liked the second chapter, not as much as the first but i laughed specially with him lifting the weights while the others were cleaning wands or looking at books kkkkk Also, as a big and longtime Harry Potter fan, just imagining the potential for parodies already make me want the manga to survive kkkk

Undead Unluck keeps being something really refreshing, it's not perfect by any means, but the author really knows how to not make it boring.
UxU is indeed surprisingly entertaining. It's a lot less gropy than the one-shot and most of it is so over the top that you don't even notice the cliches. I never expected this would be one of the series I'd be looking forward to most every week.

Mashle I like a lot. It's basically One-Punch Man With Magic, but funnier and more creative. I do wonder how long it's going to stay fresh though, because I remember some people getting bored of OPM after a few volumes. Still, this one too is among my favorite reads for now.

Gardian of the Witch is.. meh. The intro and the whole reveal were pretty well done, but we've already seen so many series about people with weird curses/illnesses who need to be saved, and about fighting monsters, and about a boy and girl who don't get along at first but then they do. Also, if she wants him to make her the last witch, shouldn't they do something about the 12-year-old girl lined up to take her place instead of skipping town? I feel like he conveniently forgot about that a little too easily.

On a side note, I wonder how 'Fafner' sounds in Japanese. It's already hard to pronounce in English. Where did they even get... wait, was it supposed to be Fafnir? That's not a very happy reference.

Nice to see Mitama and Yozakura getting decent sales. We don't have actual numbers tho, do we?

Iooks like they had low print runs, and demand is greater than supply.....this is looking good.
