#4. Don't bring politics or off-topic stuff to the thread, this is about Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and mangas, so keep any conversation about topics that aren't related about anime & manga outside the thread.

Me & Roboco
Captain Tsubasa made me laugh with how wide everyone is, Roboco made me go wtf. Reminds me of the freaky horse Nen beast of that creepy prince from HxH.

Damn I didn't know it's the year of the horse. I don't know now if they wanted to wait and adapt Jojo part 7 in 2026 only because of this

So, new year, i wanted to do this, there's any "shameful" confession you guys want to make regarding manga & anime in 2025 that you you plan to change in 2026? Here is my confession:

I didn't picked and finish a single anime during 2025, ZERO! The first time it ever happened since i started to dive deeper into anime, and it wasn't for lack of interest because i even did a whole research and organization in my "Plan to Watch" list on MAL since one of the things i most want to do for a while is starting to delve into older anime series and franchises specially from Shueisha magazines, what happened is simply related personal struggles, not going into details because it's not necessary and neither about physical problems, it kinda just happened that i ended up not really watching any anime in the year, funny thing i'm completely updated with every new anime announcements and etc but i didn't watched anything, i just read manga through 2025 and even i could have done a LOT better with mangas.

Actually when it truly reached me in December that i haven't watched a single anime in the year i decided that i should at least watch one series to not let 2025 end like this, but it kinda felt forced so i decided to just let it go and try focus in the Winter 2026 Season that is going to start this week, so wish me luck so i can go back to normal with watching anime! :pleased


So, anyone want to make a confession too? :fan

(Watch Gnosia!!! ^ o^)

Yep. My confession: I haven't read a single tankobon this year. Some chapters from new series, sometimes. But nothing more. (Hey, I try, at least! :cheez)
Waiting for the anime of Dig it!. I'm a lazy ass.

Other confession: Each time I take a look at the new serializations of Jump and Jump+ and each time I'm praying for some new epic nouryoku battle and/or new exciting spokon manga with charadesign to my liking and loads of testo. And each time I'm disappointed.:emocat

Other confession: I often don't read what other people write on this forum before posting myself. :derp

For 2026, I want to find some new manga that will be to my taste and make more manga again this year (and this will certainly be to my taste. :smile-big)
And read everything before posting myself. I swear!! :hip

I think despite reading more manga in 2025 than I have in any other year (Usogui and Umineko did a lot of lifting) and getting into anime again after a bit of a slump, I still can't commit to keeping a MAL account or any other kind of tracker. I must have had at least like five at this point. But I always forget to keep it up to date, and by the time I remember I can't be bothered sorting it all out again. I'm also slightly disappointed that I keep putting off my WSJ and J+ backlog.

There's so much good stuff to read in and out of the magazine it feels like I'm adding more everyday. I've got Hakumei & Mikochi, Usuzumi no Hate, Bamboo Blade, and House of Five Leaves all pinned to my taskbar right now and wonder why I've made barely any progress on Himaten or Lemon :sweatdrop Especially with how slow of a reader I am to begin with. My new years resolution is to practice a bit of moderation. Maybe. Hopefully.

I feel like people will just give me a 🤔 but I didn't read a single new WSJ manga in 2025 lol. I think the only new manga I read was "The Summer Hikaru Died". Webtoon has a greater chokehold on me and Jump Toons' UI just sucks in comparison

Just because you mentioned, the manga "Dig It!" got licensed here in Brazil very recently this year, it reminded me of you when it was announced kkkkk

And don't worry too much, you're not the only one that comments without reading other user comments before, i can notice it :XD

Well, some may argue 2025 was quite a weak year for Jump new series lol

Made it way too much of a habit to start 10 series at once and never finish 3/4ths of them
Hopefully this year I can actually focus on reading one series at a time

Finished Super Smartphone. If they had advertised this as a Death Game manga from the start it could have lasted. Like it had everything I loved in the genre and it didn't force a female love interest like a few others. I guess the cancellation notice was triggered when they had to show all the other users.

Really good emotional beats too. Aw man, it hurts that it's over.

If Sakamoto Days last long enough to get an anniversary cover this year, having gotten its 5th on Issue #2 of 2026, it makes me wonder: Has their been a Jump series before that has gotten two anniversary covers in the same publication year?

For example:
- #2 Sakamoto Days 5th Anniversary
- #50 Sakamoto Days 6th Anniversary

I'm not sure if Sakamoto will last long enough to reach that milestone, though.

It's really hard to happen because it has to be a series that either started in the very final issues or very first issues of the year and also a bunch of external situations, but we had 3 cases at least since the 2000's:

Muhyo & Roji: 1st anniversary was celebrated on issue #2 of 2006 and 2nd anniversary was celebrated on issue #50 of 2006.

Nisekoi: 3rd anniversary was celebrated on issue #2 of 2015 and 4th anniversary was celebrated on issue #53 of 2015

Shokugeki no Souma: 3rd anniversary was celebrated on issue #2 of 2016 and 4th anniversary was celebrated on issue #50 of 2016

lol that's literally me since forever, and the craziest thing is that there's so many anime that i dropped that i actually enjoyed but it simply ended up getting behind

Compared to back when I was in high school, I've been reading very little manga... I want to fix that.

Almost about halfway through (?) Nue's Exorcist 51 out of 127 released chapters and so far I've enjoyed it. The intro is kinda whatever but I really enjoyed the Shiroha arc good character moments and Gakuro gets a bit more well rounded. I see what people were saying about the village arc from what I saw here while lurking in retrospect. The action is sometimes kinda hard for me to immediately follow I think of what I've read so far Kawae kinda frames the action in a way where I get the jist of actions taken but there's times where I feel like a few panels where there's like missing action in a sense? Like there's two or three moves not seen that feel like I should've had.

Such as when Gakuro trains with Moroyoki the first dagger thrown actually is done extremely well imo, really gives the impression of a high speed motion he couldn't react to properly. Then I turn the page and there's like a bombardment from him throwing loads of daggers I think? Though the panel of Gakuro looking staggered from the initial knife makes it seem like he just got blown back from the first one. Maybe I'm reading too quickly and not absorbing those panels properly but that's a big action related complaint. I think the village arc as well kinda doesn't do the best with its emotional beats until Yagyo comes into the fray like the Shiroha intro which feels weird since it's essentially the equivalent of Ichigo killing Grand Fisher for Gakuro but I dunno it didn't hit quite right for me, maybe I'm not buying Shitotsu and his relationship as well. Although I think their time at school after is really nice and gives a good resolution imo. On the swapping between battle and school topic it works okay for me but I'm not reading these week to week so maybe it's more brutal for people who are doing it like that. Overall I'm invested enough to finish now and the coming fight against this Kenpachi looking fellow seems interesting enough and I remember people liking that part a lot around here and elsewhere.

Same. It's tough trying to juggle the 'Big Four' (anime, games, manga, LNs) while working. I'm pulling 70+ hour weeks with two jobs right now—literally just to fund my gacha addiction and hobbies—so time is tight. I still try, though! Honestly, it also feels like current manga just doesn't have that same 'hype' energy it used to have

Nothing really? I watch and read a lot of anime and manga and as I get older I think I'm enjoying it more and more and getting into more genres and styles. Can't relate to people who think it's any worse than in the past.

I do feel a bit embarrassed sometimes when I get heated here discussing things. While I still want to criticize things, I'm still trying to find the right tone to not annoy others too much. Bit of an apology here. lol

I think most agree tbh, personally i feel like current series are simply missing that sense of "big world full of potential to explore" that series like Naruto, Bleach, Toriko, My Hero Academia, Black Clover and others had, current series feel too compacted, you already can expect where will go and how will finish and you know isnt gonna take more than 5 years at best to end.

Jump is missing a ambitious new author that aiming for nothing less than 7 years at least lol
