On the note of Kinato I thought the chapter itself was good and the way the gag was done was funny, but if it stays this way and sticks with 'she wasn't actually into girls, she was just delusional and Kinato corrected her' that is a bit iffy regardless of intentions.

Personally I hope she keeps the knight stuff going forward and only goes princess mode for Kinato. A flip of the "it's okay if it's you" thing you get in yuri/yaoi all the time would be a really funny route to take the character and stop it from coming across as unintentionally dismissive.

Kagurabachi starting a flashback war arc is really exciting, and it's great finally getting to know more about Shiba who's always been a bit of a mystery. I hope it's a proper length arc rather than just a quick mini-one like Naruto did. The original war with the MCs being Shiba, daddy Rokuhira, and the old swordmasters could be a whole series by itself.

The highlight this week however was definitively Ichi's chapter which was absolutely devastating (while still managing a really cool extra moment at the end). When this gets animated it's going to be one of the all time greats (on par with that one scene from Made in Abyss s1).

Me: Kinato's chapters had been nice.

Leave.

Comes back.



As far as I'm concerned its not on the author that certain people come to their own headcanons in regard to certain characters. They're free to feel what they want, don't get me wrong, but its excessive and delusional to place blame on the author just because things don't go their way. I don't think the author should bend for whoever these folks are for the sake of it. Its a manga with literally 5 chapters, with the whole 'controversy' concerning about a character's attitude being shown over a grand two chapters. Truly riveting stuff. Most are probably a bunch of immature loudmouths jumping in on a bashing bandwagon for the sake of it.

Representation is important, but unless the author explicitly lays it out, people shouldn't be eager to 'claim' a character or setting or whatever for their own. Its maddeningly arrogant and childish, especially when they cry about it when they later don't get what they want.

It seems the author of Act Age was also writing a new manga for Manga One!

Tatsuya Matsuki is back. I never thought I’d be jumpscared by Act-age in 2026, but here we are. I don’t know if we’re allowed to talk about his crimes here or what this forum’s reaction to him was, but I have to say: the fact that he’s the second sex offender working in Manga One is reaaaalllllllly disgusting.

The Naruto & Boruto anime official account got a rebrand and a full new english account for Naruto & Boruto anime was open, also a official Youtube account for Naruto & Boruto is open, so definitely some anime news coming in the future.

Finally. It's been forever. The king will be back

I loved this illustration from Ishizaki but i still want them to keep Nishio as a CD, he can do wonders to a anime staff schedule (even though it’s probably gonna be him, he’s the face of the anime)

Exactly. This reminded me of the stupidity of Knights of Guinevere Frankie controversy. Extremely dumb to go up in arms and start calling the author names because of it.

Must be a hell of a time at Shogakukan right now, holy crap. At least I hope so, heads need to roll for this, I do sure hope this matter doesn't get brushed under the rug. Kudos to those authors who took a stance and stood up against this though.

I cannot believe this is real news jfc

Is that entire website just comprised of convicted sex offenders?

Like what Sundays / MangaOne mangaka are doing, Ichi the Witch should also be put on hiatus in protest against Matsuki's rehiring.

Shogakukan owns Shueisha, right?

I believe Shogakukan and Shueisha (and Hakusensha) are entirely separate companies but are all owned by the same business conglomerate.

So this probably has nothing to do with Shueisha.

They almost have no influence. And Sunday authors aren't even stopping publication on the magazine, but taking off their series from Mangaone.

I get it's a joke/gag and Kaminagi was never really meant to be a lesbian, but I still think the whole thing of "actually she was never attracted to girls in the first place, she was just delusional" is still kind of iffy? Idk. I'm not gonna say the author is a raging homophobe and try to cancel him on Twitter, but it personally doesn't sit right w me. Ig a lot of people will disagree with me, that's okay. I'm just not really into this sudden switchup. Maybe she's bi? Idk.

That being said, going to Jump of all places for your yuri fix? You'd have better luck with Hoyoverse games.
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

I don't really expect most of Jump to try for diversity/representation when it comes to such things. I believe it can exist and when it does, it's good and encouraging to see, but we have to keep in mind that the target audience in mind is young. Japanese boys - even if there was an actual lesbian in Kinato, she would likely be used a lot for yuri fanservice for a male audience, not meant to be "lesbian representation for women who love women".

Moral of the story: Don't Jump in to Shonen manga expecting a bed of lilies..
Jump audience isn't just young boys, that's why the editor of Bone Collection advices the author to not make covers that could turn off the female readers of the series.
Jump just has different goals and audiences in mind when compared to magazines such as Comic Times Kirara or Yurihime.
Actually, Jump is more permissive with BL than with Yuri. See Witch Watch having a lot of BL bait and getting support, while Ayakashi Triangle was cut the moment it started to look too much like a Yuri Moe series
