you forgot to include bokuben, basically chapter 150 was the last.
and now will be the alternate endings.

They ALL are alternate. Uruka just first route to go.

are parallel endings, each girl will have a chapter of her own.
I think it would be very tiring for each girl to have more than one chapter.
There are 5 different endings but the official one is still Uruka's, so chapter 150 is the end.

 

[Koni]

Apparently theres 3.73 million monthly active users in MangaPlus now. What I find really funny is the fact that they say they’ve experienced insane growth since November, which was about the time they started copystriking unofficial scans. XD

Makes you wonder about all the missed revenue from all these years by not taking the initiative and starting MangaPlus sooner.

It's impossible for them to only have 1 chapter since it wouldn't even fill a volume. And there's no official ending since Tsutsui already states so and lets it clear with the chapter we'll see on Sunday. Every girl is a different route, and you only decide which to take as your ending.

I don't think it's as easy as they should have made it sooner. And the fact that the same Momiyama stated only a few months ago how they were studying NOW how to give the earnings of the website to mangaka, means MANGA Plus' revenue was near to nothing, and probably only allowed for the website to sustain itself. The fact that it keeps being completely free and has 0 ad intrusiveness also plays a big role. And still, these numbers are probably nowhere near the traffic some other illegal websites could move. Getting licensors, freelance staff, editors and a whole team to do this has probably taken them a lot, even if the result could be way, way better. I'll just hope these numbers will make them put more effort and resources into improving the whole system.

 

[tirakai]

The ideal WNL route structure would be 1 volume per girl. The Uruka route took up a full volume start to finish (the chapters titled Ephemeral Mermaid) so it's certainly possible, and would give them more time to hopefully find a new romcom to replace it and Yuuna.

Remember Yuuna started about half a year before Nisekoi ended, we don't need other series to end first before we can find a new one in the genre.

Depending on the number of pages, you can fill in the end of each girl without any problems.
This would be an endless repetition of the same story. The jump does not need to keep wrapping WnL to find a new Romcom, even because it already has Yozakura, even if you don’t see it as a romance story, he remembers the Juliete (WSM).

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Regarding what new type of romcom we could get, I would like to see one where the main cast arent teens but young adults, like in between their early to mid 20s, just a personal preference of mine.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Things really went Plus Ultra

 

[Halloween]

The box office performance of this MHA movie alongside the latest Dragon Ball movie should teach executives to take anime movies more seriously in the West, hopefully.

Yeeeeeaaaaah, no.

Besides Wotakoi, I seriously can't even name a romcom like that, even a seinen one.

 

[pamuchi]

Well in Mexico they are bringing lots of movies like Made in Abyss, Konosuba, Rising heroes and more. Let's say we are entering the era where not only DB movies will come here on the west, but also allowing more variety to watch.

 

[NeeNeen]

BTW, I just counted.

Three chapters for S8, 4 chapters to round out Zipman and 5 for Yuuna, that be easy timing for a batch.

Hmm.

I'm not getting ending vibes from S8, but Zipman won't be lasting much longer. And Kimetsu could be ending in 5 chapters if the author wants it, Muzan has been on his last legs for a while now.

(I personally don't see GotW survive either. The rest is still up in the air.)

I'm honestly wondering why they aren't adding some more adds. Not the obnoxious blinking kind, obviously, but some links to anime publishers for example wouldn't be bad at all.

Seeing as Bokuben found a way to continue for at least another volume, and Samurai 8 will apparently be on break for a week, I updated my previous post on what the near future should look like:

Issue #15 Bokuben ch150(completes v17), TPN ch 170(completes v19)
Issue #16 Undead Unluck ch9, Samurai 8 ch 42 (completes v5)
Issue #17 Marshle ch9, Yuragi ch200
Issue #18 Guardian of the Witch ch9, Zipman ch16(completes v2) Kimetsu ch200
Issue #19 Agravity Boys ch16(completes v2)
Issue #20
Issue #21
Issue #22-23 Yuragi ch205(completes v23), Yozakura Family ch34(completes v4)
Issue #24 Kimetsu ch205(completes v23), Undead Unluck ch16(completes v2), Mitama ch36(completes v4)
Issue #25 Bokuben ch159(completes v18), TPN ch179(completes v20), Marshle ch16(completes v2)
Issue #26 GotW ch16(completes v2)
Issue #27 Samurai 8 ch51(completes v6)

It also now includes Mitama and Yozakura's next volume completion marks. Note that the volume completion estimates assume the standard 9 chapters per volume, but final volumes can be shorter or longer by a couple chapters.

My personal guess is that the next round of series ending/starting will start at or right after the double issue. Zipman will probably end before that, giving them room to simultaneously start/end series. When exactly it starts will likely depend on what's continuing and what's ending, as well as if they're giving anything an extra chapter or two.

Also Genshiken. Why does that matter though? How many battle manga can you name about kids trying to kill their teacher?

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Recovery of an MMO Junkie
Kano Kari (college students from WSM)
Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei shitemita (which even ha an anime airing this season)
Sheriff Evans' Lies (mostly a comedy but still has the subplot of Evans and Oakley)

 

[KoL2.0]

Does anybody know S8's vol. 1 Amazon (US) Preorder numbers and Day 1 sales in US?

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Boichi is 47 while Inagaki is 43, just let that sink....

Inagaki is looking really old for his age

 

[Aeneas]

Does anybody know S8's vol. 1 Amazon (US) Preorder numbers and Day 1 sales in US?

Would those be known this early (or ever)?

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Btw, the saltiness of the haters in the VIZ post about Samurai 8 release is hilarious, this community never stop to impress me with their lack of maturity, imagine getting that bothered and angry because a series got licensed kkkkk
