WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP THREAD RULES​

#1. No fights or personal insults.
#2. No bait or troll comments with the intention of being annoying or starting serious heated discussions, if i notice it's a continuous behavior, i will warn the user or delete the comment.
#3. No toxic attitude towards series, no one is obligated to enjoy any series and it's totally fine to criticize what you don't like, just avoid posting gratuitous hateful or toxic comments about X or Y series, if i notice this behavior, comments will be deleted.
#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.
#5. Don't post news about series from other magazine or publishers in the WSJ thread, post in the series own thread, but it's fine if you're mentioning other series or magazine to express a opinion or reflection about Shonen Jump.
#6. Any tweet, specially japanese, about news, update or some interesting thing about the magazine or series has to come with a text of what that tweet means and also be on topic, if not it's going to be either deleted or i will edit the post.
#7. Refrain from self advertising or advertising Youtubers videos in the comments.
#8. Constant fanart posts just for the sake of praising a favorite series is prohibited, this rule doesn't apply for official art by Jump artists posted on social media, they're fine to post.
#9. Don't discuss or hype chapter spoilers before Sunday release, only comment if is related to a series surviving status and do it only inside the spoiler tag.
#10. Regarding rule #9, an exception will be made for when we have new series, in this case, spoilers will be allowed only for the first 3 chapters of a new series for the users who are interested in knowing informations and details about the new series, these spoilers will obviously be kept under tags to protect anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled, so don't worry about it.
~ Shinuki

I hope everyone reads the rules and use it as a guide to behave well in the thread, thanks! :kkthumbs

I wonder if Matsuura will be back with Gotou or team up with another writer. There has to be some way to get his art in the magazine long term.

Does the three strike rule apply to artists? Cause Kento Matsuura has technically struck out three times

Kento Matsuura final message:

"I'll keep drawing manga, believing in myself. I'll be back. Thank you for everything."

Will always root for him he has so much talent! Just needs the right story.

Part of me wants him to work on a spin off so he can have a guaranteed hit. Or maybe he can try his hand at writing if he’s interested.

I think Matsuura is safe; his art is amazing. None of this is his fault. The art in Harukaze was top-notch. Let's hope for a longer series next time.
Maybe Gege can become an artist's haven. Make him write another JJK spin-off, but with Matsuura.

Under Doctor surfin in The Pitt's wave. I was an AVID House MD fan, let's see what Tanimoto Kyou is cooking.

Just checked and Obata did the art for three flops before Hikaru no Go, that was 30 years ago though.
Takeshi Okano (Nube) also had 3 flops on Jump, some as only artist and others as author too.

The only recent example I could think of was Tsnuehiro Date who left WSJ after Time Paradox. That could've been their choice rather than being pushed out tho which is why I asked :p

I love how Kiyoshi & fans will not have to worry about anything for some good time seeing the current ToC placements and how things are going on for the new series :fan

Yeah I was just thinking how with this batch, and Modulo ending (plus if hxh returns and leaves after that), then its second anniversary + it hitting triple digits is pretty much guaranteed now. This has been a pretty fun run, all things considered.

Excluding the Modulo & Hertz one, feels like seeing the entire batch of new series flopping in the bottom together became something normal :sweatdrop
Earth, Wind and Fire have a song about this phenomenon

I was really rooting for mage next-door. Hopefully it starts improving with this previous arc.

Feels like Jump recently is pretty much JJK Modulo or Shinobi Undercover shoved in your face :bored

My take on Harukaze Mound is that was conceptually wrong since the beginning.The one shot was "cold", the duo had more recent works. Matsuura's art for battle was always praised. Kamen Kitan Theo was well received (and iirc it was with this one shot that they announced they were working on something).

It seems to me people were disappointed with a baseball manga. And the jokes about 3 spokon at the same batch didn't seem to help lol
