Wow, I read over 100 chapters in just a couple of weeks. At this rate, I'll catch up in no time.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

You said just a week or so ago that you're doing it only for the first 3 chapters yet you're still doing it, and now you're even posting leaks of other long running series. It doesn't matter whether you think it's spoiling people or not, it's still against the rules that you made yourself. What's the point of having a rule if the one enforcing it is constantly breaking it?

This is otherwise a pretty safe place to discuss the ToC without people posting leaks (it's just the occasional stray spoiler talk for Jujutsu Kaisen which is infamously bad for that), and I like having a place like that. Somewhere I can go to chat and theorise right up until the official release without anyone going "Actually you shouldn't get too excited for this week's Otr because spoiler spoiler spoiler" which hurts the experience of going in fresh for everything.

Hell, aren't leaked spoilers even the reason Fujimoto moved to Jump+? I remember there being a comment about him wanting everyone to experience the series at the same time.

I'm not posting leaks of long running series, i just reacted about something i saw from Kagurabachi and made it inside spoilers which you would only know what it is if you clicked on it.

This is a pretty safe place to discuss the ToC and stuff without being spoiled about leaks and you're not being spoiled about anything against your will, people aren't even discussing about these small comments i make, at best is 1 or 2 replies and that's it, so i still think you're really just blowing this out of proportion, i would understand if there was users quoting my comment and not even caring about putting anything in spoiler but it's not the case.

Some of the rules aren't there to be exactly followed like we're in the army, something as harmless as a comment from me about what i saw in the new series chapter is just harmless, something i'm doing because i'm now able to get these chapters early so i want to share with the ones interested in the thread but since is just about 3 or 2 of the new series, it's not enough to open a whole thread about.

There's topics here that get a new post once every few months, making one where you post leaks every single week is perfectly justifiable.

Especially when it's literally only a day early. There's no point in posting leaked spoilers merely one day before the chapters are officially out, you can surely wait the 24 hours until everyone else gets to see the chapters. Have some self-control and let people experience it for themselves.

Or if you absolutely can't stop yourself from posting leaks in this topic specifically, it should be like

Spoiler: Kinato's Magic leak spoiler

spoiler and reaction

Instead of the inline spoilers where you're very clearly trying to hype up or downplay a new chapter's events. Make it very clear it's a leak, what series you're leaking, and put all of it and your hype and reaction within the spoiler. No half-spoiled inline ones.

 

[Dogmagril]

Man, i'm loving Kinato's Magic each new chapter:

Spoiler

BWAHAHAHA and there goes away the "lesbian" thing and it was fast, one Massagegasm and Kaminagi is already seeing Kinato as a knight and herself as his princess kkkkk she's pretty cute (and hot af!), also 2 new members, a Top guy disciple of Jien with a design like Bakugo style and a big onee-san

Spoiler

We get it, you hate Yuri

I will not make a thread just to talk about 1 or 2 new series minor spoilers.

Going by that logic, there's no point in me posting the color pages too since it was just 2 days away from official release

I literally did what you said about putting inside spoilers tag lol and inline spoilers is the same thing, i don't need to spell "Kinato's Magic SPOILER" when i'm already talking about the manga inside the spoilers.

 

[FantasticFootno]

I gotta back him up at least, you had said that you were only posting stuff for the first 3 chapters, and so I think people were fine with the vague posting around it. And usually a color page doesn’t spoil any of the chapter content

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Spoiler

We get it, you hate Yuri

Spoiler

No, you guys don't, for me Kaminagi & Linae could make it out for a entire volume, would a pleasure to see What i'm laughing is about how many legit thought she was a lesbian when she was just delulu about knights & princess stories.

 

[FantasticFootno]

Also like you can’t just vague post and say “oh I loved this week” and then a spoiler tag over a series name. Or “oh I’m starting to feel afraid for” and then more spoiler tags over a series name. That’s still kinda spoiling the chapter contents

 

[tirakai]

Sure, but you've still got your reactions outside it, which is itself partly spoiler the contents. That should be under the spoiler tag as well.

And again, you said it was only for the first three chapters of each. Now it's up to ch 5 I guess? Are you just going to keep extending the limit until it's hitting ch 40 and it's still technically new since it's not a year old yet?

Yeah i had but Kinato is making me excited every week, i didn't posted anymore about Under Doctor, and probably will stop with Kinato next week, only the final one for Alien, if there's anything to talk about besides fights.

That's not spoiling chapters content, that's just my personal opinion over the series in "general", you can simply dislike a chapter i liked and vice versa.

If you keep encouraging me i might do it /s

 

[tirakai]

People have different ideas of what's a spoiler. You might not treat hyping up a chapter or telling people to keep their hopes low that much of a spoiler, but it is for people who want to go into completely fresh. And then there's Bleach readers back in the day who had zero concept of spoilers whatsoever.

It's nice that you're enjoying Kinato's magic, but I want to enjoy it fresh too. By posting your reactions to leaks here unmarked, you're making it a different experience for us compared to you.

Hence it's better to just not post or react to leaks. Wait for the chapters to be officially out so we can all have the same first time experience.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

This topic is starting to really drag, it's already discussed like hell, so it ends here, any post trying to bring it back will get deleted, i will decide if i post or not post anything next week, like i said few comments ago i already don't plan to talk anything more about Kinato since it's chapter 5, if i do about Alien it will be inside spoilers like always, and if i dont, i don't, simple, so let's move on!

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

I was following the big scandal over Shogakukan's Manga One platform which i think everybody is aware, if not, is pretty much Act Age but way worse, and what got my attention the most besides the case itself is that the artist who was drawing the manga from the writer that commited all the crimes had a similar situation with Shiro Usazaki going on where apparently they have never met or talked with the writers besides one occasion and that's it, basically writer & artists from a same series are pretty much unknown people for each other despite spending years working together in the same manga and sharing profits, i wonder if it is like this with all or most duo, for me that feels bizarre, how can you work for years drawing manga or writing manga with a partner and pretty much never meet them or even talk, just getting things through their editor, i could never be like this, i would meet the person, go out, have a dinner while discussing the next chapters and stuff, this is so weird for me

--- Double Post Merged, Feb 28, 2026, Original Post Date: Feb 28, 2026 ---

Well, by this week Usazaki author comment we know at least her and Nishi Osamu actually meet in person and go out together

 

[CastletonSnob]

Just saw the

Spoiler

"Nothing at all"

page in One Piece.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Wow, I read over 100 chapters in just a couple of weeks. At this rate, I'll catch up in no time.

I read the whole first part and a bit of the Shippuden, over 250 chapters, in just 1 Sunday

But that was the first manga i ever read...

I'm sorry, but HOW?! No, I'm genuinely curious how you did that.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

I'm sorry, but HOW?!

I started reading Naruto on Sunday morning and literally went the entire day in front of the computer reading one chapter after the another, i just got obsessed at the moment, when i read the first chapter of Naruto my mind was pretty much like this:

I learned about it on discord. Both the writer and the editor and how MangaOne is full of s@-t. It’s so bad that the authors of Shogakukan are taking their works off the platform.

But going back to what you said, I know that there are a few cases where authors and artists do meet and others, not so much. But tying this back to Jump, we know Obata had meet most of his authors, namely Yumi Hotta, but when it came to Ohba, it was a bit different when it came to Death Note. I think it was posted on Wikipedia to talk about its production. We’ve had others like Yudetamago of Kinnikuman, Inagaki and Murata from Eyeshield 21, and a similar case with Inagaki and Boichi with Dr. STONE, Food Wars, ect. There is one other case I heard that came from 1998 where there was a duo but never met each other and they were part of the legendary batch of 5 being, Shōnen Tantei Q. Now I just learned about it and until there is more context, I really do think for future partnerships, the author and artist must meet each other and have an established connection and trust with their partner to make the series they see fit.

Oh and good that Usazaki and Nishi are getting along while also going on their walks together, they are joined by Kouji Miura from Blue Box as well.

I remember when I read about 1100 chapters of One Piece in three weeks. But I had a lot of free time back then, it would be more difficult now.

Lucky for me, I do have a lot of privilege to read a lot of stuff, thanks to my career as a writer, so I do have a lot more time to read stuff, manga especially. Hell finished the likes of Soubutei Must Be Destroyed in less than 12 hours, and it's around 250 chapters long.
