[Shinuki no Reborn]

Gah, One Piece, Naruto, Eyeshield, Shaman King, Prince of Tennis, Hikaru no Go, Bleach, Black Cat, Bobobo, HxH, and Whistle! such a nostalgic lineup. Even if I'm not a Naruto or Bleach fan, this lineup just reminds me so much of my childhood elementary-middle school days.
Plus fantastic series I read a bit later like Rookies, Pretty Face, and Stone Ocean.

It actually mirrors quite well with the current moment of the magazine (of course in a waaay lower sales level) where it had literally only Sword Breaker as the flopped newbie (it wasn't ranked at that issue yet) and all the other series were either veterans or popular newbies, Bleach was just 54 chapters long lol

WSJ knows the general survey results long before we do after all.

It's possible its position tanked and stayed very low right after they had already decided upon the cover and it was too late to switch, or something like that.

Problem is that if you look at both series rankings prior to the cancelation, it wouldn't justify such a drastic action, it's similar to how Double Arts just went from being the big newbie star getting the magazine cover & 43 extra pages at chapter 13 to suddenly getting axed just 10 chapters later for being like 3/4 weeks in the bottom, it's just completely out of normal even for the older Jump standards, and i just reopened @Newkerzy wounds by mentioning DA

Eff you @Shinuki no Reborn. I’d rather had DA over Nisekoi any day.

Crazy thing is that Naoshi could have actually used his influence after Nisekoi success to try reboot Double Arts even if in another magazine since it actually had good sales, but well...

Why you gotta kick me down like this??

Just saying, he really could have tried that, the manga sold well at the time, pretty sure a reboot would be popular, but apparently he wants to be forever known as only the Nisekoi author lol

I also would like to see Kubo trying to reboot Zombie Powder, with all the money and fans he got from Bleach, could easily do that and even get a anime.

There are so many aspiring mangakas from awards to submitions. Yeh I don't work in the Jump office but cmon, yall can do way better at picking. Picking Murakami author was just beating a dead horse

Mangaka with huge flops coming back isn't rare.

Golem Hearts, Bone Collection , Ole Golazo , Koi no Cupid , Mutou Black , Beast Children , E-Robot and Devilyman were all were huge flops and debuted outside of the top 100 on shoseki but the mangaka got a chance to come back

Tsutsui's back? Nice.

Look Look Look, I don't wanna sound like an ass but if Jump is picking something like THAT for the 1# magazine of Shonen. BRUH.... his art improved alot but his writing and all... is just not it

always fun to see Black Cat mentioned, it's one of the first anime I ever watched and also one of the first manga I ever read

I'd put it as a dark horse (cat?) pick for WSJ manga that deserve a remake and Yabuki is established enough to warrant that if anime production companies were ever looking for a WSJ remake. Also him and my GOAT Shinohara are related by marriage and I find that an incredible fun fact.

Black Cat is so fucking good. Definitely some nostalgia talking, but I think it still holds up as a fantastic battle manga. Would love to see a new anime remake, or even a new manga sequel for Jump+.

Wait, really? How??

 

[echo]

Pretty lame color pages this issue, how unfortunate.

The overreactions to this ToC are hilarious as expected. When 3 of the bottom 5 all get CP's at the same time of course the ToC is going to be a little screwy. The most notable thing here imo is Kiyoshi getting the top CP while Kill Blue is all the way at the bottom despite a CP. Oh, and Hakutaku is 100% dead but that was already assumed before this week.

Ah. I had a feeling I heard about that somewhere. I just needed to confirm it, that’s all. Thanks!

It's actually so good to look back at because I think the animation's aged really well (manga art is naturally fantastic) and holds up well today. I remember the filler being very good too because I did a reread like 2 years ago and felt like bits were missing that the anime filler had that expanded a lot of the surrounding cast who deserve way more screentime.

This is actually the closest to a family dynasty in WSJ I think, (Shinuki or someone more knowledgeable feel free to correct) unless we stretch and consider manga power couples who were big in WSJ and other manga magazines like Togashi and Naoko Takeuchi. Assuming this is true, it's kinda wild given the magazine's long history we've never had mangaka related to each other, like surely a parent-child pair (or any other relation) would've popped up somewhere.

 

[kitakaze]

Will Kill Blue surviver in next batch? I doubt that.

 

[KrenKren]

Next batch is probably Yozafam & Hakutaku. KB is by no means performing great but if it ever is actually getting axed it'd be after that.

My votes:

1. Akane Banashi
2. Blue Box
3. Kagurabachi

4. Sakamoto
5. Chojo


Also enjoyed Ichi, Shinobi Undercover and Murakami. Sad to see this last one go, some chapters have been quite good. My favourite was the one with the nightmare.
