#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.

#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.

Huh. I disagree with the actual rankings, but I'm also chill with the top 5 itself. I'm just surprised the disparity between some of these vote totals.

Wait I realized top 3 are all the Ukes lol. It is true that majority of character stans prefer their oshis as ukes

It is the mentality of wanting their fav to be worshipped and loved

This is the top 12, i think.

Chihiro
Uruha
Hakuri
Shiba
Samura
Enji
Hiruhiko
Azami
Soya
Uruha's guard
Hiyuki
Sojo

Sojo that low is very surprising. He's my top 2.
Some of these characters are just made up. I would complain that Hiruhiko is too high, but like the fact that a literal mob character is above him is hilarious (still like way too high, swap him and sojo). Otherwise, really?? Like there were more characters introduced by this point. Hakuri's dad isn't even in the top 10???? This is like an abyssmal poll, I think bachi lacks actual characters, but somehow the well written/entertaining ones aren't getting votes?

Yeah I stand by my take, that’s a pretty abyssmal top 10. The actual good characters left out of it, and then some of the ones in it shouldn’t be even thinking about top 20. Pretty terrifying.

From what i notice. JP fans very rarely stan villains (Naoya is exception. But that's more because they memed him to death)

Japan really loves uruha lol.
Not a bad lcp but it's definitely not Hokazono's best imo really think this one was rushed.

Shonen MCs lately only barely made it to top 5 official popularity poll, so it's nice to see Chihiro breaking the trend for once

They almost always get first for the first one. Its the 2nd one that always changes

No. Chihiro is not breaking the trend at all.

I think what you meant is "happy go lucky sunshine MC" rarely makes it to top 1 (Deku, Hinata etc) while the top 1 spot goes to the brooding 2nd male lead.

Chihiro breaks the mold of shonen MC being a cool headed black haired guy. He is like the Sasuke type.

In any case, i do not think happy go lucky shonen MC not taking top spot is necessarily true anymore. Luffy takes top 1 all the time for example.

Akane is a cute tanuki so she doesn't count

Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi Color Page


Akane-banashi Color Page


Shangai Ronren Color Page
Ah rip, last Kiyoshi color page was so good so I was hoping this new one would top it, but its a pretty generic color page lol. He's so oddly proportioned too, feels like he shouldn't be that skinny.
