#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

That's the usual. Some people often bring this up when asking for some anime as they can now get more merch and stop reusing manga art all the time.
We can only hope it happens fast at this point. Because Sakamoto got an anime that late and it was not good.

has this Boichi tweet been shared? really interesting perspective from him
Yeah, manga is good because there are several different genres, styles, demographics, etc. So if someone doesn't enjoy battle series, they still can still be part of the culture and industry reading something else. While there are american comics in several genres, the general perception of it as mostly Cape Comics made for a weaker industry where creators struggle more to get the funding for different things (not even being a weeb here, they do complain about that).

Even inside Jump, you can't have only battle manga. This is why they should always strive to have gags, romcom, even slice of life alongside their mainstream battle titles. Jump works because they're just an option among many, my favorite genre is SoL, but I crave Jump-style battle manga at least once a week for some variety.

ToC day! My predictions:

-Cover and lead cp will obviously go to Summer and Fireflies!

-Color pages will be: Roku's Strange House, Shinobi Undercover 2nd cp and gotta bet on Kinato's Magic, besides Hima-ten (or Alien Headbutt) is the only viable series that didn't get any color page in the last 3 issues.

-Both Kinato's Magic & Under Doctor will rank in the middle

-Bottom 5 will be: The Mage Next Door (Final), Hero Girl & Demon Lord, Nue's Exorcist, Hima-Ten! & Alien Headbutt.

-Top 5 will be: One Piece, Someone Hertz, Sakamoto Days, Kagurabachi and Me & Roboco

Is the online JP reception for Kinato still good? Nervous since it doesn't have a color page yet

I predict that Viz will title the new Nakamura series as "Roku's Hex House"
My reasoning for this:
- Alliteration for the second part
- Both Roku & Hex can mean "6", and there's 6 of them, counting Roku.
- Hex also means "curse", appropriate for a cursed boy

My best bet:
A batch of 3, one is by an axed vet, the other 2 are by rookies.
It happens from Issues #9-11
I just realized I was completely right about this...

Scared for that bottom 5 now. Alien and Kinato are just outside of it, so presumably one of them are entering it next week? Unless Akane or a different series come in to fill that gap. Still no Kinato color page either and we're reaching chapter 11 next week.

Its hard to tell. They just introduced a new character, so presumably that could be a sign of extending the series, but the character did also enter the story talking about the main goal. Hopefully its living though, or else we're going to be down a series until June/when hxh returns?

Edited the next issue info, Ryo says Sakamoto is getting a cp but put as "???" and with that it would be 4 color pages + the lead cp which Jump never does, since i only have the ToC page not the preview yet i can't confirm so decided to remove Sakamoto from now 👍

Hey Shinuki, a part of me wonders if you made a mistake with next weeks announcement with the color pages.

Nope, only Sakamoto Days was a small mistake and not done by me, edited already, the other color pages are all right.

Thank you. It was something that me and Melons were arguing about because I knew Shinobi was getting another color page.

Roku cover is cool, can't post the current version i have because the angle is pretty shitty but will get a good angle version soon, and yeah the colors are pretty muted, i wonder if is in purpose, even the mc skin seems like a corpse lol

Kinato literally went up in the TOC this week. I think the lack of color page is just once again, Saito being abysmal at color page distribution. It probably won't get a color page until May for volume 1 promotion at this point.
