Color pages either Kgb or Ichi depending of which gets a cover, also Astro Royale for vol release and the 4th one shot

Astro Royale cover for volume 4

The Sakamoto Days anime is still good by its own merits, but highly disappointing as an adaptation. You get series like that sometimes, you don't realise how much you're missing from a 7 or 8/10 series until you read the 10/10 source material and see what you should be getting.

Doesn't help new episodes drop same day as Solo Leveling which has been every week so far

That said, I was never a huge SD fan and I always thought there was a cap on how popular it would become but it's still upsetting to see it held back by anime

Btw, welcome to the Forum

Thank you for the welcome!

I said it before but Shonen Jump need to reach out to korean creators and get more of them in the magazine, they are running circles around some of the manga that we get in Shonen Jump. It's embarrassing.

That said Solo Leveling (and along those lines when it eventually happens ORV) are just phenomenal life changing masterpieces. Jinwoo is this generations Kirito, but life changing figures in my life.

I was gonna say “that’ll never happen, it’s a japanese magazine after all” and then remembered that Boichi exists haha. Still, I don’t know if we’ve seen a solo korean author in mainline WSJ before, it’s just been collabs with japanese guys or solo in Jump+, so that would be a new milestone I think.

Yes, I've only come here to look at OP spoilers and never made an account here until this morning. I was heavy on Oro Jackson back in the day and I use Worst Gen but that forum is pretty toxic.

Thank you for sharing. This is a good place to talk about Jump, but this isn’t the place for OP spoilers. But this is a good place to talk about what to expect as well as upcoming titles. Any series aside from One Piece in Jump that catches your eye? And if you have a question on what is running I as well as others here will be glad to share.

Worst Gen is pretty much Agenda Piece the forum haha. You can get some laughs there but def not my personal choice for a OP forum with serious discussion. Welcome to the Jump side at MH!

Aside from One Piece I read Syd, Ichi, Embers, Shinobi Undercover, Spy x Family, Bug Ego, The Marshall King, Kaiju No. 8, and Chainsaw Man. I have a few others on hold Elusive Samurai, Gokurakugai, Sakamoto Days, and Dandadan.

I agree it's definitely not a forum for any deep conversations or real discussions about the series. A lot of agenda, bias, bs posts, and arguments going on over there.

welcome my friend

Thank you, looking forward to talking with you all.

Okay. Glad to know. So what are your thoughts on Syd, Ichi, Embers, and Shinobi?

 

[Cerclox]

I'm curious to see the circulation number for Ichi with volume 2, hopefully they share it

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

If redon doesn't say "One Piece cover" in the next hours, I'm going to go with Kagurabachi cover, but I also see Blue Box with a lot of chances

I’m going with a Blue Box cover.

Influencer I'm kind of mutuals with who covers living in Japan and some anime content just posted this, it's pretty cute.

What's funny is some Jump mangaka have been poached by Korean distributers. Like Yusuke Utsumi (Ultra Battle Satellite) currently does the art for this fantasy action manwha called Duke Pendragon: Master of the White Dragon.

Least we got Boichi.

I think Blue Box cover is around April.

Gonna go on a limb and say the likes of either Kagurabachi or Ichi the Witch as potential issue covers.

As I am just having a hunch that if Kill Blue does not a cover for its next anniversary then there is gonna be cause for concern. Nue's Exorcist is not in any trouble so I can see it get a cover for its anniversary.

Now that we got three authors for Future Jump Project, which failed veteran or newcomer (Made one shots but never a full series) are you must interested in seeing in the next six issues?

I will go first:

• Ei Yamano, been a while since he last made a one shot and am curious to see the improvements.
• Kazu Kakazu, been a while since the whole Blood Oath fiasco so am curious to see if he improved greatly from the writing and art this time around.
• Reiya Machida, this is an author I would not be surprised to be a part of this project given both his art style and writing.
• Tarou Kaneko, let's face it; the fact he has not made his debut still in the magazine is a travesty. Both his one shots "Warped Fairy Tail" and "Chaos Hunters" were great, in terms of writing and art.
• Minya Hiraga, I think its high time he made a comeback. I think he just needs a good story.
• Am between either Yuufoo Gakuji or Taishin Uemura, both have a lot of what it takes to make an entertaining story.

If anyone wants to know what's the reception of the first 3 chapter of B no Seisen, here's a good input (but is in portuguese, but google can translate it i think)
