Astro suddenly has canon lesbian

Sad thing is, much common and "acceptable" to have canon lesbians in shonen because men find girl x girl hot and view it as kink.

Likewise with how it is much more common to see canon gays or shonen ai in shoujo mangas.

I mean, replace the lesbian orgy in csm with a gay orgy and see how people react.

It is sad.

I know there is a scene where Denji offers Yoshida a rimming tho. But it is not the same

Some notes about these lists:
Kagurabachi had a phenomenal year, having the best average ranking and the second most first places.
Akane-banashi also had a really good year, having the third best average ranking and the most first places.
Jujutsu Kaisen had a disappointing year, having the fifteenth best average ranking and no first places.
Ichi the Witch had a great start, with 4 consecutive first places. It lost a bit of steam since then, but it still had the second best average ranking.
Kiyoshi had a really good start, but dropped off in the second half.
Shinobi just barely beat Nue, on the final poll of the year, despite Nue getting first.
And GGG had a great year despite getting axed. Fourth in average rankings, and 8 first places (third most), is an incredible performance for any series, let alone one that got axed halfway through the year.

Something else I noticed is that HxH, Akane, GGG, and Ichi were the only series to not drop below 10th place. Technically, Kagurabachi would join them as well, because the only chapter below tenth place was the extra chapter. Anyways, I'll probably do this again next year as well. I wonder how different this list will be by then.

Jump Matome is fascinating, they're extremely pessimistic about Jump. Can't say I really disagree though from a commercial perspective

Honestly glad am not on it. Detest that kinda thing ever since I unfortunately joined a game forum, glad I left that behind cause oh boy it ain’t pretty when no one can understand an opinion nor learn to sympathize with others. Glad that there’s none of that here.

"I feel really lucky over the success of MHA, so I know there's a lot of pressure around my next move," revealed Horikoshi. "I'm planning to start a new manga as soon as I possibly can.

"I was thinking to committing myself to simply drawing my next project, and letting someone else write the story, but my editor advised me 'It will be better if you do it all yourself.' With that in mind, I've slowly started writing and drawing the thumbnails my next manga.

Jump Matome is fascinating, they're extremely pessimistic about Jump. Can't say I really disagree though from a commercial perspective

Its not just Matome, 5ch/2ch is the same thing but the key to understand what its really about, is that they're not pessimistic about the magazine itself or from a commercial perspective, its just pure brainrot sales elitism, i have been following these jp discussion sites close for over a year and the amount of retarded takes i read based solely about volume sales is crazy, even MHA was a target sometimes with people downplaying the series saying it doesnt sell enough to be a flagship, when it reached 100 million there was a some weird condescending comments on Matome, and you also have the series that are like "invisible" like Black Clover or Mashle, this one Matome/5ch was literally forced to recognize it once it exploded in popularity, before they just considered a forgettable mediocre series, not to mention the constantly shift in opinion based in the ToC rankings, they have been saying Nue is going to get axed "next round" since before the 1st anniversary, Kill Blue the same, really cant wait to see the reactions when Kill Blue doesnt end next round, they're probably going to implode.

The point is that is just a sport for many of these netizens, its about who sells more, the thing is so dumb that for a short time Kill Blue was actually praised while Hima-Ten & Kiyoshi hated on because they couldnt chart higher than KB, i will not be surprised if they go for for low key hating on Ichi to praising it if sales turn out to be good lol

I absolutely love this but take your time Hori don't rush to the dying deadlines of a weekly manga again, we'll be waiting patiently

Also I LOVE that he wants to draw and write it too, one of the things why Boruto is hard for me to enjoy is due to Kishimoto giving up on drawing, his style is unmatched but hey Horikoshi will deliver again with the art so I'm happy for that!

Hori is the opposite of Aka who just want to write. Well, Hori himself has said that he loves drawing and the reason he become mangaka to begin with was to draw...

You can feel all his passion and love from his twitter arts. Hori is awesome
