Saito is trying to appeal to me specifically by bringing back all these authors I personally really like (Shun Numa, Hokami, now Gondaira), but it won't work. I'll probably eat up Hizuki-san because I love Yozakura to death, but yeah, didn't really wow me with this batch like I thought was...

Harukaze Mound, Kaedegami, Ekiden Bros, and Ping Pong Peril was one batch last year. You are right that Saito experiments way less though so I'm not expecting anything crazy with this batch.

Yes. Still think it's one of the more unfair things Nakano did. A new series is just going to take away any potential spotlight your entry could get since people care way more about a new series. Debuting two new series makes it even worse.

Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave has completely taken over my life so I haven't checked out much else before today. Graykeith, my crippling fear of insects and spiders aside, is just so charming. Hokami really knows the balance between introducing pieces of the world and lore to interest the reader...

Gachiakuta is one of the best selling series in the magazine currently, in a genre that historically attracts casuals, and just had an anime air last year with a second season on the way. There's a console game coming out that just released a new trailer at Tokyo Game Show. It constantly gets...

The artist is a former assistant for Gachiakuta and the volume 1 obi has a recommendation from Kei Urana.

I also kind of feel like that a WSM series getting physically scalped matters less in the long run. Pocket offers you an easy way to catch up to series since you can buy the individual chapters easily (and they offer free chapter promotions, though that's usually only pre volume 1). I'm pretty...

Yep, that's exactly what I wanted out of Graykeith (hey I got it!). More interpersonal stories and the "understanding the people who speak the language" that chapter 1 promised. Going at it one small piece at a time is way better than trying to promise a giant world that you won't ever explore...

What was the point of bringing the GFC back? There's only 3 and they all sound completely bland. They might as well just ran as regular one shots, that way the authors at least have a shot of getting published in under five years.

Vegeta can be 1B when he's able to create hologram torture technology to kill an old man just to spite that old man's grandson for beating him in a children's card game .

(I'm probably going to end up calling it Greykeys for awhile, it's going to take a bit before I adjust to Greykeith, if ever) I've been keeping tabs on Natsuki Hokami since Higuma got the Jump Giga mini series. His style wasn't changing the world, but it invoked enough early 2000s vibes to me...

I usually don't care about titles getting localized since it's not meant for me, it's for a casual person who randomly sees it at a Barnes and Nobles or whatever, but what the hell is this? This is the most "you gotta change things to justify your pay" sounding name ever.

While you are correct to point that silliness out, sadly

When in doubt, Sakamoto gets the lead color page. It works every time. Happy to see Animal Signal didn't drop like a rock immediately after a color page. Happens sometimes with the series that aren't immediately obvious hits, but get early color pages. I think it's safe until at least chapter...

Zanki and Sensei Fukoku were (way) above Grey Keys yeah. But the GFC has shown us they don't feel like letting the most successful one authors get their series first, so I'm not shocked that they ended up having to wait as well.
