wtf, No one told me my boy will be back in Jump GIGA! It's a baseball manga, apparently.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

whoa, wtf. His art improved!
I don't remember if there was ever any dynamic shot in agravity and there's already one here in the cover.

This looks way better than the pv art. Count me interested. What was the synopsis for this, again?

His art was never bad lol The premise is "A boy gets haunted by 5 curses at once".

I remember his art being unrefined and boring. I just look it up and it looks just like how i remembered them.
Meanwhile, the kid in that roku cover looks expressive and dynamic. And the whole drawing just looks way higher quality.

Btw, next week will be Nue's Exorcist 31st color page in 141 chapters, at this point i'm pretty sure Nue is the "middle to bottom" performer series with the highest number of color pages ever, or at least since the 2000's lol

I think Nurarihyon no Mago was the one that had the most before, but that was 38 color pages in 207 chapters, not to mention Nue has a actual average of color pages each 3/4 chapters, that probably just adds to the idea that Nue ToC placements are all bullshit since why would the editorial give so many color pages for a series that doesn't get votes in the surveys lol

Do you think a Nue anime announcement could happen on May?

It could with the 3rd anniversary.

It really never had a stage play all this time.

 

[defensor_de_boruto]

we about to have 3 seasons

Good to see some familiar faces from last year. Kinda intrigued by what others authors will be in it and whether or not Black Clover will truly end this year.

Hoping it is a success. Nue needs it.

Instead of giving slots to mangaka who clearly aren't ready, Jump should just have a couple of gaps in the magazine until they find the right series.

Weekly Shonen Jump is the training ground for countless mangaka. Even if the series is a flop, they get to publish their works and be recognized. The focus of the magazine is also to raise new creators into a somewhat good status. And there is no way to know if some manga is the right series or not. Although we can agree that some may have problems, they still publish because it may always hit with the public.

What’s everyone’s read on the kinato situation? Seems like it has strong online reception in JP right?

Also are there any one shots that had strong JP reception that haven’t been published as full series yet? Curious on what to keep my eye on.

Instead of giving slots to mangaka who clearly aren't ready, Jump should just have a couple of gaps in the magazine until they find the right series.

Tanizaki is a weird case due to bad writing and bad art. It's obvious from these last two batches which seem relatively strong Jump isn't struggling to find authors.

Even if Gonron sells 1k copies? It's profit. You don't get that if you have nothing in the magazine. Financially, it makes no sense to just leave spots blank
