Question, between Taiyo/Mutsumi, Andy/Fuuko, Nico/Moi and Taiki/Chinatsu, which is you guys favourite of the current Jump romances?

Andy/Fuuko by a mile for me.
Taiyo/Mutsumi are already married, so that is a done deal and take the biggest part out of a Jump romance, the anticipation to said done deal.
Nico/Moi are cliche comedy romance, yawn.
Taiki/Chinatsu ain't my ship and the last two chapter were huge torpedoes to m fav Taiki/Hina ship, so nope to that.
Andy/Fuuko are a bit out of the norm, for one they ain't the typical teenager couple like the other three ones, for two it started with one wanting to die using the other's ability and for three they actually kiss & touch each other a lot, which in other romcoms either only happens by accident, as a lucky perv moment or as the "end route kiss" where the deal is done and the final couple is made outta the available ships.

Easily Taiyo & Mutsumi, they're just too good together, not to mention they're already a couple from chapter 1 so Gondaira don't need to resort in the typical romcom cliche of tease and interrupt, so the interactions are in another level of cuteness

Seconded. It's always nice to see characters actually show affection for each other, instead of the awkward will-they-won't-they antics that normally come with fictional romance.

Andy and Fuuko are nice but there are times when the series tries to sell their relationship so hard that it ends up feeling forced.

 

[tirakai]

I like Taiyo and Mutsumi best, but they've spent almost no time together for ages, I want to see some more chapters about just them.

Question, between Taiyo/Mutsumi, Andy/Fuuko, Nico/Moi and Taiki/Chinatsu, which is you guys favourite of the current Jump romances?

Taiyo and Mutsumi by far. But otherwise the Moi/Nico relationship is also cute (and also like the Matsuri/Suzu one)

Question, between Taiyo/Mutsumi, Andy/Fuuko, Nico/Moi and Taiki/Chinatsu, which is you guys favourite of the current Jump romances?

I like Andy and Fuuko relationship I think the manga did a good job developing their relationship. My second pick is Nico and Moi the last chapter made me really like their relationship even if it been done to death in other manga

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Taiyo and Mutsumi is probably my favorite of the four couples listed but I like all of them.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Hey, Rain forgot Matsuri & Suzu, my 2nd best couple, we even had a (long) kiss already happening

Question, between Taiyo/Mutsumi, Andy/Fuuko, Nico/Moi and Taiki/Chinatsu, which is you guys favourite of the current Jump romances?

Taiyou/Mutsumi is first: they're just so nice and peaceful together. I really appreciate the level of sincerity and care they have for each other.

Second is Andy/Fuuko: they really grew on me pretty quickly. Fuuko is top-tier, and her growth because of Andy has been refreshing.

Third is Nico/Moi: this series is still pretty early, but they've been very nice from the start. Nico is very cute, and Moi is nice and honest more often than not.

Last is Taiki/Chinatsu: quite boring interactions most of the time. Honestly, they kind of seem like they may work better as friends, mutually pushing each other forward in sports. I think Taiki has more chemistry with Hina.

The million-dollar question is, which Matsuri are you shipping Suzu with?

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

The million-dollar question is, which Matsuri are you shipping Suzu with?

Of course the cultured Matsuri version

Spoiler

 

[Discomusic]

My favourite couple is Taiyo and Mutsumi, for the reasons mentioned by everyone else.
My most shipped couple are Kotaro and the girl he has a crush on.
Andy and Fuuko alternate great moments together to moments that want to be as great, but feel forced. Suzu and Matsuri work, somehow. And I think Nico should give up on Moi and search for someone else.
I suspend my judgment on Taiki-Chinatsu until the day we will finally have a chapter from her POV.

 

[Newkerzy]

Mine probably doesn’t count, but I’m keeping an eye on KamiJiro from MHA. I think it’s pretty underrated.

 

[animeexpert]

If i'm not mistaken, both RH and Neru vol 1 been at least on Amazon for over a month, the pre order rankings are bad, under HSF that sell 5k/6k copies, but if for us in a forum it's been pretty obvious for a while that both series are not popular, for SJ that has much more and detailed info/data it would be even more obvious, there are dozen and dozen of series that were canceled even earlier, they know fast when a series is a complete flop.

Damn even below HSF.. smh

 

[galaxy-juice]

Damn even below HSF.. smh

To be fair, HSF sells about 6K now, which is better than like 90% of flops in Jump.

 

[Manjiknights]

As of last night, trademarks have been renewed for basically every series that is surviving into 2022 past Ayakashi Triangle (as that, along with everything started earlier than it, had trademarks renewed already). From left to right these are Magu, Witch Watch, HSF, Sakamoto, Elusive Samurai, Roboco and Blue Box. Please read: these are all for merchandising purposes based on the categories filed for and have absolutely nothing to do with anime. So no, this doesn’t mean everything here is getting an adaptation, but it does probably mean they’re getting more marketing, and hence surviving, for a decent amount of 2022. I don’t think it’s just for Festa, as every series in the magazine gets merch for Festa even if they get axed like two weeks later. None of these series are invincible (you know which two series are toeing the line), but probably okay for the first half or so of the year. I repeat, do not jump to conclusions and assume it means anime.

To be fair, HSF sells about 6K now, which is better than like 90% of flops in Jump.

But it still doesn't mean it's good.
