[Shinuki no Reborn]

1-Yozakura Family
2-Mitama Secureity
3-Mashle
4-Undead Unluck
5-Agravity Boys
6/7-Zipman and Guardian of the Witch (Can't really decide who is better)

Don't really hate any of the series.

 

[Minsel]

1 - Yozakura
2 - Undead Unluck
3 - MASHLE
4/5 - Mitama/GOTW
6 - Zipman
7 - Agravity boys since i haven't read it

 

[tirakai]

Probably Undead > Mitama > Yozakura > Mashle > Agravity Boys > Witch > Zipman

though there's not that much of a gap between Witch and Zipman, Zipman's just been running for longer and hence given me more time to stop caring about it. Feels a little unfair to compare Mitama and Yozakura to Mashle and Undead though since they've had enough time to get established and start figuring out what works.

I'd be happy to read any long term really except Zipman (and Witch if it doesn't improve), I just hope there's a couple that stick around properly. Mitama and Yozakura seem set for the moment but neither is big enough to be out of the risk zone, they could still get cancelled by the end of the year if they don't grow.

 

[Ryuusei]

So everyone, how would you rank the newbies so far by your enjoyment (Mitama, Yozakura, Agravity, Zipman, Guardian, Mashle and Undead)?

1. Mashle
2. Mitama Security
3. Yozakura
4. Zipman
5. Undead Unluck, Agravity Boys, Guardian of the Witch

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

When do we stop saying a manga is a newbie? Chapter 30 or 40? Thinking in Yozakura and Mitama while I ask this.

For me right now:
Yozakura > Mitama = Agravity = Mashle > UndeadUnluck (tbh I have spedread UU) > Zipman = GotW

 

[Stivie]

So everyone, how would you rank the newbies so far by your enjoyment (Mitama, Yozakura, Agravity, Zipman, Guardian, Mashle and Undead)?

1 - Yozakura
2 - Mitama
3 - Guardian
4 - Agravity
5 - MASHLE

Dropped UxU and Zipman

 

[FireFantasyVI]

1.Mitama
2.Agravity
3.UxU and Yozakura
5.Mash and Witch Guardian
6.Zipman

I love Mitama to death, and Agravity, while not nearly as strong imo, I still genuinely enjoy. I'd give the slight edge to UxU over Yozakura, but they're both in a place where I sorta like them but also feel pretty indifferent to them and could easily loose interest. Then is Mash and Witch, which I both have problems with and while I don't hate them, I wouldn't mind seeing them go. Mash in that it has some things I really do like, and some things that really hurt the series for me, and I really don't feel anything about Witch. Then there's Zipman

 

[RafGL]

So everyone, how would you rank the newbies so far by your enjoyment (Mitama, Yozakura, Agravity, Zipman, Guardian, Mashle and Undead)?

MASHLE = Yozakura > Mitama >>> Undead > Agravity > Guardian >>> ZIPMAN!!
I'm gonna be honest, aside from the first three, I don't really care about anything else. MASHLE and Yozakura are series I'd be sad if they got axed, Mitama has grown a bit of affection on me and I enjoy seeing the characters daily life. The rest can be axed tomorrow and I wouldn't really care.

 

[tirakai]

For me right now:
Yozakura > Mitama = Agravity = Mashle > UndeadUnluck (tbh I have spedread UU) > Zipman = GotW

Buranchi's rule is no new chapters spoilers after 3 volumes are out, so then I guess. That's usually enough to see if a series is a flop, a hit, or a semi-success that'll end in its second year or so. Although Mitama and Yozakura still aren't clear due to the strange current state of the magazine.

 

[Ryuusei]

Can I comment one second about how Chiyoko is being by far the best rival in possibly this entire Shonen Jump decade? Act-age is in a very great moment and is thanks to Kei as a very good MC and Chiyoko as a very good rival

To me, Hinata and Kageyama have the best rivalry of the current running series but I agree that Yonagi and Momoshiro's rivalry is amazing. I'd throw Itadori and Fushiguro in the bunch as well, though their rivalry is less heated than the other two.

 

[Aipom626]

So everyone, how would you rank the newbies so far by your enjoyment (Mitama, Yozakura, Agravity, Zipman, Guardian, Mashle and Undead)?

From most to least enjoyable:
1. Mitama - Consistent fun, hilarious, heartwarming interactions
2. Undead - Interesting characters, unique power system, curious world being built
3. Yozakura - Has the framework to be really good and occasionally is. Started great, hit a bit of a slump, but has recovered nicely. Needs to work with the characters to has now before introducing more.
4. Mashle - Kind of getting stale. Needs better art, jokes, and/or characters to keep my full attention for much longer.
5. Agravity - I can't believe they went and introduced another ship full of guys. If these guys all end up as dude-bro characters or become obsessed with Chris, I'm not sure if I'll continue with it.
6. Guardian - Great color pages, but nothing else caught my attention
7. Zipman - Greatly disliked the main characters and story

 

[Nemesis]

So everyone, how would you rank the newbies so far by your enjoyment (Mitama, Yozakura, Agravity, Zipman, Guardian, Mashle and Undead)?

1. Mashle
2. Mitama
3. Undead
4. Agravity

Those I like and think they have been good.

Guardian unfortunately has been much below my expectations and Zipman and Yozakura I dropped.

you should pick yozakura up again

 

[4Eyes]

My classification would be:
Mitama > Guardian > Mashle > Undead > Agravity = Yozakura = Zipman
Also, I don't understand all this Yozakura hype, it's nothing out of ordinary.

 

[Blink22]

So everyone, how would you rank the newbies so far by your enjoyment (Mitama, Yozakura, Agravity, Zipman, Guardian, Mashle and Undead)?

1) Undead
2) Mitama
3) Agravity Boys
4) Guardian
5) Mashle
6) Zipman

Yozakura I dropped.

 

[James Rye]

So everyone, how would you rank the newbies so far by your enjoyment (Mitama, Yozakura, Agravity, Zipman, Guardian, Mashle and Undead)?

1.) Undead
2.) Mitama
3.) Agravity
4.) Mashle
5.) Yozakura
6.) Guardian
7.) Zipman

I wonder what other new series will follow on WNL and Zipman and Yuuna and TPN when they all end this year. That is a lot of new open slots when so many new series just started.

 

[Ottes]

So everyone, how would you rank the newbies so far by your enjoyment (Mitama, Yozakura, Agravity, Zipman, Guardian, Mashle and Undead)?

Mitama > Undead > Mashle > Agravity Boys

Dropped: Zipman, Guardian and Yozakura

Asta and Yuno, it's a great and healthy rivarly and friendship at the same time, Tabata also made the opposite of everything people claimed so much he would do with Yuno, that basically he would be Sasuke 2 but turned out to be a totally different character.

 

[SalesNerd69]

Undead Unluck and Mashle next two big hits

Looks like s8 is wrapping up

How many more chapters does TPN/KnY have left?

 

[Aipom626]

Yonagi and Chiyoko is a pretty interesting rivalry, and probably my favorite one in an ongoing WSJ series right now. Undead Unluck seems like it could end up having some interesting rivalries once the dust settles on this fight and the rest of the council is introduced.
