#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

I wonder what Atsushi Nakamura was doing during the 5 years. Working as assistant?

Life for normal mangakas are tough. Only few become rich. The rest basically toils for very little salary and little work life balance

Could be, but I think I know someone who might tell what happened.

Okay, yeah, I went back through my sources and apparently Nakamura was quiet during that time while being on Twitter and doing fan art. So if I had to guess they might have had some time to work on their craft while using the fan art as practice. If they did do assistant work, they would have either publicly announced it on social media or would have been mentioned in some Jump or any affiliated Shueisha works.

They’re like professional athletes. They’re either successful enough to have a decent living, or become filthy rich and world-famous. And then there’s those who don’t crack it at all.

As a rough picture, Miura (Blue Box), a successful mangaka by all means, can afford to dine out at a 3-starred Michelin restaurant occassionally. That’s how well-off the successful ones are, and she’s not Horikoshi or Gege by any means.

I think that here in the west has an ideia that smaller successful mangakas have financial issues because of the superheroes comics writers, that various famous really have had financial issues, but the situation is more like what you said, even in other magazines.

Remember that scene in Bakuman where the mangakas got invited to the year end party that looks so luxurious it's as if Shueisha is some kind of yakuza?

I wouldn't say to take this poll too seriously, but this was kind of funny so,

Manga I Want to See Animated
4. Gokurakugai
6. Phantom Busters
7. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo
10. Ichi the Witch
11. Shinobi Undercover
22. My Hero Academia Team up Missions
35. Class 2-B Hero Destroyerz
36. SAKAMOTO HOLIDAYS
49. Nue's Exorcist
50. PPPPPP
56. My Hero Academia Smash!!
58. Shiba Inu Rooms
61. Cipher Academy
64. Act-Age
65. Asura's Wrath
70. Someone Hertz
92. Girl Meets Rock!


Worth noting that from what I've seen, these polls generally lean more towards fujos that the usual types of netizen metrics, which explain the weird results. Still, 2-B with 3 chapters above Nue and Someone Hertz is hilarious.

Will be the greatest joke if 2B end up getting anime before Nue

but should we blame him? I think authors should do what they want and not what readers want (or what the editors think the readers want)
I'm not blaming him, i'm actually praising him

Not balls.

It is just a jerk move

(To shinuki: i toned it down )
Don't think so. Artist should do what they want and not what they "need" to make people happy

There is a big difference between garbage writing and objectively good writing

That manga was special on its genre. Also a Magu chan ... sad it didn't appear

Glad that Ichi and Shinobi are 10 and 11 for wanting to see animated.

No one's posted this but I'm just letting y'all know the Mangaplus channel has a translated (text) vomic for Someone Hertz, kept meaning to post this but I got so busy I'd keep reading to catch up and then forget to chime in

That’s because they also deeply love it. Love and hate are two sides of the same coin
