Damn editor meddling. I think Undead would have much higher rankings if this was purely based on fan reception.

Sooner than expected

 

[Tanzo]

Sooner than expected

Betting that's a recap episode airing then, ala S2's 13.5.

 

[savethecat]

Sooner than expected

Guess this means they’re starting a week earlier than spring Spring season normally starts, maybe for a recap episode, so they can dedicate the full 25 episode season to the actual content this time?

 

[Thundercat27]

11 is Kaijuu, 12 is Neverland 13 is World Trigger 14 is Kaguya, 15 is Golden Kamuy 16 is Dr STONE
congrats to Kodansha for managing to get 2 series to break the Janpo combo

Tbf, I think Blue Period is the best one from that list.

Will we comment the fact One Piece isn't even top 15? Seems like chilling OP just isn't cool anymore for the japanese youth.
We all know this would happen someday, but it feels weird.

That is what happened when you have 20+ years of backlog to catch up. I bet zoomers will look at One Piece like how I used to look at Kochikame, that one long legendary series that I would never touch.

For the love of god, I sure hope so.

I wonder if the recap will be a one-hour special or something. They could try and work it into Aizawa’s backstory. Like say, for example, have Aizawa, Mic, Midnight bring along Eri to visit Shirakumo’s grave and recount all of that’s happened so far and then segue into the backstory. Or they could just do the recap there and save the backstory for somewhere in the middle of the season.

It's fun to see where the older series have influenced the newer generation, The Big 3 especially. Naruto is obvious in My Hero Academia and Black Clover and with One Piece it feels more like those who came up through Nobuhiro Watsuki (like Toriko/Build King) otherwise I can't think of many that capture that exact vibe/feel of adventure.

Probably because I know the series inside out and back to front but I definitely see a lot of Bleach all over the hits from the 2010's (especially JJK and Demon Slayer), which matches with what has been said in interviews:

Jujutsu Kaisen

Spoiler: Jujutsu Kaisen

Q: Teacher's (Gege) lines & skill names have impressive personality & impact. Is there any reference when choosing a language?
A: Please read "BLEACH"!!

Demon Slayer
https://w.atwiki.jp/kimetsunoyaiba/pages/64.html
“There are too many [manga] to count, but if I had to choose the top three, they’d be Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Naruto and Bleach.” And there's apparently mention of the Gotei 13 being brought up a lot in editor meetings (which explains the Pillars)

My Hero Academia
https://edomonogatari.wordpress.com/2019/10/05/kubo-horikoshi/ (one of my favourite author-author interviews)
Horikoshi: In any event, Bleach was responsible for ingraining the power of words in me. However, my sensibilities are nowhere near as polished as yours… Which is why some people might think I’m lacking.

Black Clover

Shōnen Jump Authors Comment on Bleach Ending

The 38th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, released on August 22, contains the very last chapter of Tite Kubo's long-running series Bleach. Kubo wrote, "One...

Yūki Tabata of Black Clover wrote, "It had a lot of influence on me. Kubo-sensei, serializing it for such a long time must have been a lot of work!"

I'd love to see a family tree of influence from all the generations down to now, since even Bleach very much feels reminiscent of Yu Yu Hakusho and Saint Seiya.

Switch out Naruto for YYH in BCs case.

If Google Translate is right, I think the Blue Box author has been having meetings, presumably with editors now.

Not sure if this means much, but I thought it’d be nice to check up on the Blue Box author now that We Never Learn’s ending and the only romance series we have for now is Ayakashi Triangle.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Even if it isn't Blue Box (though it probably will be) there's no way Miura isn't getting serialized next year, but it's nice to see the process is underway.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Inb4 the author decides to go with the one shot to Jump Plus because didn't worked with WSJ and become a big hit kkkk

 

[Minsel]

was Yozakura Volume 6 ever revealed?

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

was Yozakura Volume 6 ever revealed?

Not yet, same with Black Clover 27 which is pretty weird that isn't leaked yet

Phantom Seer at #287: http://shosekiranking.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-3337.html

The series will really have a 3rd week with the first volume, that's impressive, even for Yozakura it took a while to have a 3rd week.

 

[ScotchAianB]

WSJ 3-4 HQ

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Nice to see Gondaira finally stop drawing chibi Taiyo in the group covers kkkk

Never realised how much Tashigi design fits with Tamura art, she literally looks like a character from one of his mangas

 

[Griff]

WSJ 3-4 HQ

Why the same cover two weeks in a row?

 

[susanoo13]

Why the same cover two weeks in a row?

It's a double issue. Next week there's no WSJ and after that we will have another double issue. If I misunderstood you and you were talking about the cover for 5-6, so it's because the covers are made as two seperated halves to complete eachother for celebrating One Piece reaching 1000 chapters.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Reminder Jump Festa starts this weekend.

 

[Ike79]

New vomic today is an old One-Shot by the Neverland Duo: Poppy's Wish

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Yep, season 3 announced before season 2 even started

This in the JumpSQ thread, not WSJ

I've created the V-Jump thread since it hadn't a thread before.

Starting now, discuss Dragon Ball Super and Boruto there.

Asking myself for 2021:

-Black Clover lasted an entire year to just rise 1 million volume in circulation, being the worst veteran regarding sales (only better than We Never Learn, even Act-age had better numbers than Black Clover). It has been completely beaten by Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsawman (adding to MHA, Neverland, Kimetsu, etc)

Will Black Clover continue its downfall in 2021? Will Dr.Stone beat it in total volumes in circulation thanks to anime season 2?
