I just wanna get a One piece Cover, it's been too long

I’d rather more chapters than more covers honestly, I wouldn’t want to push Oda’s health beyond a comfortable level but the fact that he was willing to push out 4 chapters back to back was pretty awesome (technically went 6 issues with back-to-back chapters because of the double combined issues). I suspect he’ll still find valid excuses to take some more breaks this year and our chapter total for the year won’t be much higher than 30.

Embers will be a raging success, every moment of it is perfect, stronger start than Haikyuu and Kurobas combined.

I'd rather him never do a cover or color page again and just focus on ending this manga already

 

[Thehoennhippo]

If it’s not One Piece… fuck it, I’ll go outside the box and predict a Kiyoshi cover.

that would be awesome tbh, but i think it can be more a Ichi one for the release of volume 2 than kiyoshi

Yea Oda is on a crazy hot streak right now to the point where I’d rather keep the current format

So just reading Kiyoshi and I think this recent chapter with Nehan and Jack Joe has risen in its stock on my personal tier list. The training, power up, and bond, humor and character of these 2 along with the fight is a personal growth in my eyes. It really does feel like Oda writing in here as I can see Usui’s experience with One Piece shine through. I really think the Black Parade arc is now starting to work its magic.

He's already better than his sensei but people aren't ready for this conversation yet..

 

[JBC008]

So to change the conversation, thanks in part to defensor_de_boruto’s request, is that one-shot from the Future Project uploaded?

I was just joking lmao, no need to change the subject . But to answer your question, I don't think it was uploaded, the last one Project Vinland uploaded was the first one: https://mangadex.org/chapter/2a6ce86e-fc55-4a85-be43-ac1aeda6a340/2

Right, I knew about the first one, I was waiting for the second.

Did you read it the first one? I haven’t read yet, was wondering if someone thinks it has a chance of being serialized

 

[TheRealTravisty]

I'm just going to chime in on the Nisekoi topic and note that I'm currently on the Rescue Marika arc, and this is actually pretty hype!

HOW WILL EMBERS PERFORM ON SHONEN JUMP? - VOTING​

Hi guys, finally bringing back the performance poll for the new series, it was put in a short hiatus since the last poll about Him-Ten, but now is back, so give your votes and do it fast because it's not going to be up for too long since we have the issue #13 voting to do too

I don't dislike Embers at all but man, if it somehow survives after so many more promising sports series died horrible deaths, then I'll have to start questioning whether my own taste in spokons is as good as I thought. Again, I don't hate this series but it has absolutely nothing going for it right now, I just couldn't stand seeing it live longer than MMA or GGG.

 

[JBC008]

Did you read it the first one? I haven’t read yet, was wondering if someone thinks it has a chance of being serialized

I just did right now, and I like it. Interesting and likable characters, a very understandable premise, and a concept that can go places as well as a message here that I think works on a generational and global level. I like the idea of languages and translations as that is fun to see in our daily lives as well as to research old ones that are extinct. I had learned about the process about creating fictional languages from Face Off (the reality show one from season 10, not the Nick Cage and John Travolta one). And they brought in for that season the guy responsible for Dathreki from Game of Thrones. And one of the things that goes into creating a new language is by going through the lexicon which would have a vast assortment of languages in order to understand who would speak it.

Now I will vouch for this to be a series as there is potential, but I have to go into the concerns, why I think it would be fun to do, and why the message here is strong for a concept like this. Well here is the concern, and that is if this artist is going with a concept of translations and different languages, then they have to create a whole plethora of languages, each with their own alphabet, vocabulary, and the demon tribes that would speak it, as well if this does become a hit where if it gets an anime, has to coordinate with an actual linguist to make sure that the language in tune for what it will be. But I think it would be fun cause who wouldn’t want that. A good example is a story I have in the works that is just a pilot script that involves sci-fi, outer space, and aliens, while working an office job. And I thought of a gag in where my lead would have to wear this helmet that would help speed up the learning process of learning all of these alien languages. Unfortunately I can’t say anything further as it will ruin the joke (and some fine tuning that needs some work). But I do think the idea is there as there could be a demon race that would click with a reader and make them want to learn it.

And now here is where I am going to be serious and say why I also connected with this on an emotional level. Back in 2019 when that great Amazon Fire happened (and good riddance to Bolsonaro after hearing what he tried to do with his power, sorry to people like Shinuki, Ravellino, Phantom RPG, and defensor_de_boruto if I am going into the politics of Brazil cause I was sensitive at the time and I still am for other political reasons). When I saw that as well as see some of the individual tribes that lived in there, I felt so sad on their rights being threatened as well as being at a disadvantage for some at a disadvantage for not even knowing Portuguese (or Spanish in some parts that are beyond Brazil’s borders in the west). And I saw news articles of a few indigenous people trying to learn so they can go and fight for their rights on a legal and political level so their rights and home can be protected. Weather it is something small like teaching a recipe or voicing rights, that has strong potential as language is universal and if we can break down the barriers, we can understand each other. In fact I am doing that now as I am using Duolingo to learn Japanese. And so far I am learning a bit.

So I will endorse this and hopes it becomes a series. However it does need to think about a long term game if it becomes a series. But I do think the world building structure is there and is more fine tuned than Hell Warden (which had some mistakes as I can see the Taguchi influence is was there), the characters are not annoying just like in both, and they have a solid concept but it has to have a better execution cause Hell Warden had a great concept and look, but failed. And here, same thing but this is a one-shot and it is better in terms of structure. So yes I want this.
