Shinohara did mention he was planning something new, right? Or did I imagine it. Anyway, I hope that's the case.
Yup, that was the last thing he mentioned before deleting his Twitter. If I recall correctly, in a recent interview he did while the Astra anime was airing, he talked about returning to his comedy roots with his next series. I really hope that he comes back soon in some form, his writing sensibilities are something that Jump is kind of missing right now in my opinion.
Slightly hoping for another Yoko triumphant return
I just read the two first chapters when it came out and afaik it has 0 ecchi. It's about an ultra clever girl with powers I think, that fights with other girls with powers and then there's the MC involved because, iirc, the FMC is in love with him. And so, he ends up in scary fights or whatever. It has no translations, and doesn't seem to be doing good popularity and sales-wise. It seems like an usual fluffy and pure rom-com.
Anyone know any prospective authors from one-shots and what not who could fill the gap? Haven't seen many romance one-shots in Jump lately.
Pretty sure with WNL ending soon, WSJ will want to fill that gap. So I expect one shots and romcom serializations soon.
We have people from the Romcom Festival, excluding Nisio Isin, Tsukuda Yuuto, Saeki Shun and Yamamoto Ryouhei. The rest could pop up maybe: Hanada Tomoya, Nakayama Michiru, Tonogaya Miyuki (I wish to have this mangaka, I like a lot their art), Tatefuji Tomohiro or Kawaguchi Yuuki.
For the people who hated with boiling rage to the author and didnt expect it for the ending of nisekoi cuz
That romcom one shot from Shun Numa was quite funny, wouldn’t mind seeing that in the magazine.
Out of curiosity, how often do we get oneshots in WSJ?
That sounds terrible. Doing that in a movie is dumb enough in my opinion, but to end the whole manga that way would be beyond awful. I'm still baffled by what Horikoshi is doing with the relationship between Deku and Bakugo, but to think he would go to that length with it just weirds me out.
Yeah, I would have rather liked it if they just stayed rivals instead of a "friendship" where one guy is a ginormous jerk and the other can't drop fast enough to his knees to worship the very ground said jerk walked on. Like at least make Bakugo less of a freaking butt or give Deku enough grandstanding to say f u to Bakugo or something like that. But this whole "Bakugo is so great." or "Kacchan..." is just so weird and then reading this about Deku handing over All for One to Bakugo ´who a) hated that Deku got such a cheat code so why should he want it when he wants to become Nr.1 hero due his own power and b) Deku has yet to even fully control said quirk just feels wrong on all scales.
Personally, I always got the feeling that Horikoshi wanted to do some more with Bakugo, giving him an arc similar to Endeavor’s, but Bakugo ended up being way too popular as he currently is. He still dominates popularity polls, outscoring second place 2 to 1, even without screentime. I think Hori might’ve wanted Bakugou to be seen as unlikable but he was better received than expected, so you have situations like this weird friendship/rivalry going on. That’s how I see it anyways, who knows what’s actually going on.
