it was the 2010s thingy
lately I can only remember how Tanjiro was 4th, Denji was 5th, SD was 8th
Akane is a cute tanuki so she doesn't count
No surprise denji is so low when the main attraction of CSM are the women....

(And who t f like denji anyway, even without the women). Guy is a pathetic gooner with hardly any redeeming quality

Take out denji and csm part 1 is going to be 100x boring, with aki or not. Only reason people think he suck is due to part 2.

Too many crazy chicks in the manga, in my opinion. Fuji's preference to change nayuta's personality into another crazy chick was disappointing.

It's not like... it's a bad thing...
It is, when aki is the only character that takes the story seriously and denji, only a little bit.

Then we got asa and ... she had to share her screentime with yoru.

Seems like there's a new version of the advertisement page for the digital Shonen Jump subscription and it's quite telling because it's finally adding Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi, Ichi the Witch, Shinobi Undercover and Someone Hertz while the only series missing is....Hima-Ten! 😮




For comparison the outdated one that still appearing in many chapters on J+ site:




Hima might be ending sooner than we expect....

Finally a Nue cover, no idea why they slighted it last year. I'm very curious where Gakurou will place on the popularity poll since the action side revolves extremely heavily around him which usually results in the MC at #1 or #2, but it's also a harem. And will any other male characters even make the top 10? Underwear friend was popular very early on but he barely appears.

Also wonder what'll happen with Shinobigoto, is Saito finally going to be forced to place it under Nue for the first time in god knows how long?

Shinobi will be in a sudden break, you can't be under Nue if you're not featured in the issue at all!

It seems way too soon to be ending in June, but do they really want 2/3 of their remaining romance series to be ending in September?!

Himaten not being advertised is interesting, the series has been concluding things lately so I guess that confirms it's not planning to continue after they start dating like Blue Box did.

My current guess is it'll end on ch 100 exactly, not next round (which will just be Kinato and Alien Headbutt) but starting the one after.

I really do not get that most romance does not contine after dating phase. It is as if there is no conflict after dating!!!! In fact, i think maintaining relationship afterwards are hard.

This is why stuff like NANA is refreshing. We still get to see conflict after dating phase lol

It is probably a syndrome where most readers do NOT want to see the couple they root on break up or had a fight. When in RL the first person you date is not necessarily a life partner.

Most people say this and then drop the manga as soon as the characters hook up.
I see it every single time.

The actual answer is that telling a story about two people getting together requires a completely different skill set from telling a story about a couple. That and because most people think how the couple gets together is the most interesting part of a romance, both to read and to write.

The funny answer is that none of these authors have ever successfully confessed to someone so they have no clue what comes next.

I see people brought up the CSM popularity poll. I can’t believe Makima never won any of the 3 polls and came in second each time losing to someone new each poll

The best CSM character and one of my favorite Jump characters ever

Most shonen authors are very young and are very likely unmarried
they will start yapping about marriage if the marriage goes well * staring at Tonikaku Kawaii *
