Henceforth, I will be deleting posts that complain about Weekly Shonen Jump having too many/not enough gag/battle/exorcism/sports/etc series.

These posts are not insightful, and do not meaningfully contribute to this thread. Also, this decision is not up for discussion, so posts discussing this decision will also be deleted.~ Halloween

Two Pieces is a real thing? Lol, I had no idea. XD
Yeah, France and Spain were having fun with these for a while. Don't think any of them got published in English though.



Wasn't limited to manga, either.

Well at least they are parodies rather than straight up rip offs (based on the cover).

This is what I think would be the worst possible outcome - trying to do those two elements but not doing them well enough to attract either crowd. Yabuki has a bit of a cushion given his reputation, but he’ll have to up his game really soon.
Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if the editors forced him to put in more ecchi in Ayakashi even though Yabuki wanted to lean closer to Black Cat. Kinda hoping that it ends up into a Negima! situation where Akamatsu’s editors forced him to do another harem manga and then developing into a full-on battle manga.

To add to that I think there can be a 4th category, “ecchi for the sake of comedic relief”. This category can also mix in with the first 3 categories especially if it is a sex comedy type manga but can also be it’s own category. Basically they don’t use ecchi for the sex appeal but for laughs. A great example of this category would definitely be agrivity boys. It has a great amount of raunchy jokes and partial nudity in it but it’s not used for sex appeal but rather to make people laugh. Plenty of manga use this category like dragon ball (during the early parts goku would constantly lose his close as a running gag during/ after battles, JJBA (it uses bizarre sex jokes like the infamous humping scene as a way to get laughs) jungle tar Chan (the main character would constantly get an erection after seeing a girl he finds hot).

There are very few jump series that I think straight up uses ecchi as sex appeal as the main driving force of the manga. Even Harenchi gauken was more of a raunchy comedy manga than a straight up ecchi manga. The only ones I can think of that fits that description are to love ru, yuuna, and of course ayakashi triangle. That is to say that jump ecchi series are surprisingly tame compared to other manga magazines (especially magazine and champion).
This category is a really tricky one. When someone tries to pull off ecchi this way, nearly 90% of the time it just ends up being unfunny. It takes impeccable comedic timing to pull this off. Grand Blue and some of FT’s stuff come to mind in earlier years (like the time Lucy got chucked into a bell with Natsu. Naked.)

Oh yeah, definitely parodies. Didn't limit themselves to the series they were named after, either.


You could buy these in bookshops, ftr.

I think ecchi as a gag work better in adult comedy, like 67% Inertia or Nande Koko ni Sensei ga

One day left. Who will die tomorrow? Mitama? Agravity? Yozakura? None of them so we will be running 21 series (20 weekly series if the veteran chain break continues)?

Mitama has been very confusing last chapters so i'm starting to think that we will not get more endings this round because nothing else is in serious mode and etc too

If Yozakura is really growing up, I doubt they want to end him.

As said, the Jump is not in a position to be picky, if a series will be axed and because it will go really, but really bad.

Good cover. Although I’m sure there’s going to be plenty of fans disappointed that Mirko didn’t get some space on it as well.
