Nearly 30 posts/tweets with news & updates about this and next Jump issue during the night & morning, that's a record no doubt :grin

But i love doing it :blush

The Ryu comment accurate or nah?
Of course there's nothing "R-18" but yeah, it's very explicit that they had sex since we see they about to start doing it

Is this real life, I'll take it. Kinato's magic may have never gotten its color page but Roku getting it makes up for it. This is going to be a bigger success than agravity boys!

If the real point of the series is to develop the relationship between characters, the there is nothing to worry about an actual storyline. I think it eventually have some arcs with some chapters of real storyline, but it will be a series about characters and their interaction regardless of actual time.
If not for that issue, Agravity Boys wouldn't have been cancelled. The author spent his time going in circles, thinking he was developing the characters, only to get cancelled in the end.
If *Roku* ends up having a run similar to *Himaten* or *Kill Blue*, that’s fine; the problem would be if it lasted as long as *Witch Watch* while relying solely on gags and weak character development.

Agravity Boys was a very different manga from what we get on Roku. It got its run, but it had problems. And to be fair, Himaten got 96 chapters and Kill Blue got 113 chapters, that is clearly a good run, regardless. And also: You just don't like Witch Watch and think that series that don't have a so called "storyline" should be axed. You are entitled to that, but since Witch Watch, Roboco and many other comedies and slice of life have been thriving despite having no "clear storyline" I don't think that is a good argument. And to be fair, I think Witch Watch has great gags and character development.

So I can't give an opinion on something you think I don't like?

I see a lot of people on the forum who don't like Kagurabachi but give their opinions on the series anyway.

Besides, you don't even know whether I like Witch Watch or not.

You can give your opinion, but you should expect it to be met with opposing ideas regarding it. Everybody should expect it anyway.

guess we're hearing about it on the 27th!
Don't expect it to reveal something. It will just be a Bleach MV.

exactly especially when stivie said something incredibly controversial and disagreeable:

Embers should still be publishing.
It was better than Drawn to thr Fire.
You guys really don't like comedy, huh? Sorachi is a genius mangaka regardless of what you think about some poop jokes that come on 2B because only him could write an enticing story using comedy.
I don't mind comedy but the force unfunny jokes aren't endearing, the poop gag stinks and is over used, and all the quips after someone says something is also overused and unfunny.
The reason TYBW was poorly received when it first came out had nothing to do with the lack of background art lol, it was to due with other things. Kubo was doing the no background thing FAR before TYBW. He was doing it during the series's peak (in terms of popularity) during the Arrancar Saga. Like, look:











And so on, I could have gone on, but the point is looking at any Bleach chapters in the 200s to 400s and you'd see the same lack of background as TYBW lol. It's just Kubo's style, basically always has been except very early Bleach.


Also one of the main reasons Bleach ended was because Kubo's health was deteriorating. Bro's shoulder was beyond finished. But anyway.
I am not saying he used to do heavily detailed background and then quit. He used to draw clouds, grey coloring so you could tell it was the sky, grey to black fades like you highlighted in your examples, there was just so much less of it towards the end, and it was noticed and called out by fans. We literally wouldn't be having this conversation now if it wasn't something people picked up and complained about. The art wasn't the only issue, there were many at the end, but it definitely had changed. I went back and looked through many early chapters up to 200 and compared with chapters near the end. I know he was doing his thing for 15 years and styles change and evolve over time but the was a lot more usage of the all-white background later on which was a decision and one the fans did not like (along with the all the other issues that had it falling to 15th or below for 34weeks)

Honestly, Konishi actually seems like a great choice, I think I even had him as a back-up pick in case Shin-ichiro Miki didn't get picked
