WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP THREAD RULES​

#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

None of them were at 6th though (and their “2nd mc” at 11)
Well it's not really uncommon for mc to be that low, there are: Raku - Nisekoi (6th-7th-11th), Kogarashi - Yuuragi Sou (10th), Nariyuki - BokuBen (7th-9th), Sakamoto (5th-8th), Mukai (7th), Baki (7th), Kiyomine - Oblivion Battery (7th-6th), Uryu - Amagami Sister (8th) , Shirou - Fate (7th -11th), etc

10k views are not "viral" at all. The bar is low
One of Nue fan art got over 1m views

I'm rewatching Bleach right now in prep for Hell Arc and just finished Soul Society and I gotta say I'm not surprised that Hitsugaya was so popular. I feel like characters like that are almost always a lock for top 3 in popularity if they exist in a battle shonen. That 'young prodigy with a high rank' feels like it would be super appealing to people who find the character to be adorable and also be a nice power fantasy for kids reading Jump. I can't think of many others that fit that archetype though now that I think about. I can only think of Muichiro from Demon Slayer. Naruto has some in flashbacks (Itachi and Kakashi) but they were adults during the actual story
If you’re rewatching Bleach, I heard of a new fan edited version called Concentrated Bleach where it cuts out all the filler scenes and characters so it can be as faithful to the original manga.

Nah for that last bit, it’s on the standard post-2020 jump formula. It took sakamoto days, Akane, and witch watch all similar amounts of time. They all got announced in the 165-170 range, even if it gets announced around like 175, it’s not that far off from those other 3.
Nue's Exorcist will probably have its anime announced on issue 48.

You phrase it as if it is a flop... it actually ranked 4th for 1st ranking. Then it has an averagely pretty good rank before it starts ranking lower middle

Look, I have nothing against Nue outside it prioritizing boobs more than thighs. I meant it kept getting underwhelming treatment

Wanna bet it’s just the usual merchandise-related stuff?

If they’d really wanted to announce an anime, they would have done it months ago at AnimeJapan.
But They didn't even have a stage in anime japan and for argument sake lets say it was announced for anime japan what do they do for October aka the anniversary month? "they can releases more information" Okay? and what do they do for jump festa? see the issue here I don't know if we will get an new anime or not ( I really hope we do ) but the marketing they are currently doing makes sense to lead up to and October announcement if that ends up happening.

My laptop broke so I won't be able to read manga, be active here, or do much of anything till I get it figured out. I'm disabled and can't work so this is a huge blow to my health.
Sorry about that WyldViloet.

I remember your pfp, long time i don't see you in the thread :^_^

Jump Studio is the 2nd biggest stage on Jump Festa or also the called "Blue Stage", having a Jump Studio while not having a anime adaptation in works pretty much means you're getting one announced, they don't give stages on Jump Festa to advertise merch lol Phantom Busters from SQ will have one and alredy got its anime announced this week, Nue's Exorcist got its website domain leaked so is getting a announcement soon, Girl Meets Rock from Plus is there so it's very likely getting announced soon too.

For Reborn SugoiLITE already leaked a few months ago the new anime and Reborn will have its first Vongola Festa in almost a decade in October, almost sure the anime will be officially announced there, if not so is locked to JF.

Just out of curiosity, what’s so special about this Nue?
I mean, you guys talk about it more than any other manga.
The LN tropes attract a very dedicated subset of otakus. It probably helps that the average poster in this forum is a bit on the older side, so they're even more receptive to a story with such themes.

My advice is get a cheap tablet while you're sorting the laptop trouble out, like an older iPad from a second hand store. They're fantastic for reading manga and will cost you a lot less than getting a new laptop if you can't fix your current one (or can't afford one right away).

I have a decent laptop but I've always read Shounen Jump and Manga+ on the app since I find it a better experience.

So basically a repeat of the same issue like last year is what you are saying? Cause I think there was something similar that was complained before.

Anyway, I kinda has a suspicion about the one shot. Say is it similar to the complaints around Yoshida B6 entry in GFC?
I don't remember Yoshida B6.

Here is the one shot in question.

Here is the one shot from future jump from Oku Takuo( the first gfc participant this year) that I remember had a good few flaws that make me think he ended up doing:
