Until the first rank of Time paradox, I don't think there will be any cancellations.
They will have 2 empty slots until June.

--- Double Post Merged, May 24, 2020, Original Post Date: May 24, 2020 ---

Well I know this is just a poll and dunno how many ppl participate (bet there are outsiders) but here's the JPN impressions for last week issue. Bone collection is almost in the dead end and Ghostwriter is 6th. Maybe it gives us a little of perspective on these two series. But at the end it its first ranking and sales will tell us.

That doesn't prove anything, Mashle has been in sixth place before.

 

[Newkerzy]

TPGW was great again this week, it really feels like the stars are aligning for this series, with it getting so much publicity from debuting on Kimetsu's final chapter. Hope it continues to grow and eventually become a much-needed pillar of Jump.

The lack of Kimetsu this week makes me a bit depressed, oh well. We move.


MHA has been getting exciting lately. But regarding the concerns, I'm quite worried about the power-scaling and whether Hori can pull it off or if it'll go bad. Imo for the last few chapters the power-levels have been treading on thin ice with Shiggy and all and I'm cautiously curious to see how it goes. And though minor, I also still find Bakugo as a character jarring at the start of the chapter, I don't think I'll ever like him at this point lol.

I'm fairly optimistic about Horikoshi's handling of the power-scaling. Heck, AFO even had a subtle weakness put in place. Although, I think we won't see any bonkers power-scaling right up until the very last arc. By the time that's done, Deku's going straight to the ICU.

Ghost Writer is similar to the movie Yesterday, which I like.

It will be interested to see whether the author wants to continue the supernatural route or this will be the "only artifact", and continue the manga as a "drama" type situation.

"JPN Impressions"
You actually get a better impression from all the hate threads in 5chan than this poll, its at best just a similar thing that we do in this thread but much worse because in that poll, westerners can participate and it still will take their vote as consideration. Thats why posting this one is kinda useless but whatevs.

 

[SlamMonster]

Black Clover was my favorite this week. Good in itself but even better as a payoff to the last three week and seemingly unnecessary chapters. Still super fun even when things are looking grim, only in this manga.

Moriking is great too, gives me Gash Bell vibes with the action and comedy ratio flipped. Sweet manga.

I also enjoy Bone Collection...despite being bad. The structure has been terrible since the second chapter, and that info dump was horribly executed, but I just love its crude, cartoony art and the matching goofy, old fashioned tone that I think we need more of.

And I guess I'm the only who thinks Mashle isn't good. I'm amused reading it (so still far from bad), but most its good parts are either repetitive or completely and shamelessly derivative of better stuff. And I just hope it won't get more seriously into battle manga territory, not just because i think it hasn't set up the necessary elements with the proper focus for that, but also because that's where that derivativeness will become a real issue. But that door gag (which it has used multiple times already) at the end makes me assume it won't.

MANGAHELPERS "TOC" POLL ISSUE #25 - BOTH WAYS OF VOTE​

The poll for issue #25 is now open HERE!

Like last week, from now both ways of voting will be made in the same thread, so you can vote in the same place for your favorite 5 chapters in the traditional poll and rank your favorite 5 chapters in the comments adding extra points!

The extra chapters this week are Dragon Ball Super 60, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations 46 and the one shot "Yugen's All-Ghouls Homeroom" by Tsukuda Yuto and Saeki Shun.

Good votes!

 

[Blink22]

There is just some GAR and hype factor about Undead that makes me love it. Haven’t had a manga with the same feeling since Toriko.

TPGW continues to be incredibly solid. I really hope the heroine will be good.

One person I know said that it's basically an attempt to do a battle manga from the template of Urusei Yatsura....and that seems about right, honestly. And it shows that you really shouldn't just blindly try to replicate an older work, especially when it misses what people like about the original so much.

 

[Griff]

I'll leave the doc here if anyone wants to check it (same info, but more visible). Only shonen for now, may do the rest later if I feel like it since there's more Shueisha. (AJPEA 2019 Page)

Hmmmm when I click on Dragon Ball source it says it have 250 000 000 worldwide sales and 180 000 000 Japan and I can't find anywhere a place that it could have sold for 350 000 000. :X

The most popular manga in Japan won an award?

JK. Congrats to KNY

Well there's Nezuko VA who does get award for none existence dialogue whatsover. The award is kind of bias and the Manga has been published for 4 years before they noticed the popularity.

I don't know why it called Awards if it's like a fan poll lol. Even the Oscar award system was purely voted regardless the voters status. There's a difference if you had a trophy rather than a recognition like a certificate. ... Heck even a small schools does had awards if they recognized your worthy

If I'm not mistaken, Nezuko VA award was from the Newtype magazine awards. I think it's also user voted.

Looks like the reprints have kicked in for Kimetsu backlog, though it's still pretty weird to see them above the newest volume lol.
Also, very based Daisuke pfp Can't wait for rest of Fugou Keiji S1.
