Gambling I guess at least in the US. Not sure if that counts as an entertainment industry but that feels like all the rage nowadays. If not, then traditional sports. That’s still going strong although feeding off the former as well
Also there’s probably less kids reading manga period. This is the TikTok/Reels generation. You get free entertainment instantly on your phone instead of having to buy and read a magazine or manga
I’m not gonna blame them. I’m 31 and I scroll that shit too much sometimes. I can’t imagine if I...
I just don't believe that Kagurabachi somehow is getting less votes than some of these other series. Def some other explanation. Call me a hater but this is the most washed era of Jump ever so I highly doubt some of these other series really have more people submitting more votes in the survey...
I mean I 100% believe the leaks and I've been saying for a bit that I can't wait for the announcement but to play devil's advocate, a lot of times people pop out with leaks that can be walked back. Everyone has been predicting a Bleach continuation since the one shot came out years ago. So I get...
I don't think they move KGB unless Hakezono is straight not capable of doing it anymore. We were just talking about how old heads are complaining about current Jump and while I think they're just nostalgia merchants who can't move on, I won't act like the pressure isn't there for Jump. It's not...
Rest of 2026 is going to be sweet. GTA VI and then Jump Festa where we're getting news on the Naruto manga. If we really get Bleach Hell Arc announced in that time period too, it'll be gravy
I’m going through the quotes on it just cause I find this stuff interesting and it’s funny because their discourse is so similar to the Western fanbases
There’s a tweet from someone complaining about how half the magazine is romcoms and gag and wishing for more ‘Jump-style battle’. Stvie you...
Could just be old heads. I saw someone in the quotes of that tweet basically say that people have said that for 20 years but they go on to say they agree now lol
Translation:
Doesnt really mean anything though. Ever since X got automatic translation I see JP thoughts on manga and anime more...
They won’t do either of those things lol. It’s going to be the second best selling series in the magazine when Sakamoto ends and the only one other than OP that has some international cache. Jump is in their weakest position in several decades, they don’t have juice in their lineup to experiment...
I haven’t caught up to KGB but Hisagi is a twunk at most. Either way, look at most of that list. Zoro, Smoker, Toji, Uzui, Isshin, Renji, Kenshiro, etc.. It's full of hunks
