Its pretty unlikely we would have two years like 2025 in a row, but if this time next year Roku is the only 2026 series still around then Saito really would be a failure and need to be removed immediately. I don't think that will happen, but at the moment Roku is the only one we can definitely...

The idea that being an ecchi/harem series automatically excludes a series from becoming a huge hit is stupid. Especially in the case of Nue, which is relatively tame among such series and has lots of other aspects that do appeal to a more mainstream audience. Some well animated fight scenes and...

I think this is very obviously the direction the manga is taking after the previous arc, and I dislike it. "Revenge is bad" is boring.

I am happy to see Sensen Senki doing well even if the numbers are inflated by scalpers, but why would it even be a target for them? Just predicting that its going to be a hit?

It would simply make no sense to keep a manga in the physical magazine just because it has a following in the west. Sure we could have another case like Kagurabachi where it goes viral in the west and that leads to it getting more attention from Japanese readers despite their initially lukewarm...

Even though I am biased because we got Someone Hertz out of it, 2024 was a bad year for Jump, this is true. But as tirakai said above, this was coming after 2024 which was objectively a great year for the magazine, and 2023 was pretty good too. (Plus personally I like Nue and Kagurabachi way...

I get your point, I felt the same way about the first couple chapters of this batch. It is true that I don't think Togashi is writing the series to go at a significantly faster pace than he would if he was actually doing it weekly, which can be good or bad depending on your point of view...

I thought the first chapter of Graykeith was pretty good. Glad I waited a bit to write out my thoughts because I like it more and more the more I sit on it. Graykeith himself is a pretty fun protagonist, and Kisaragi is cute and should be a good foil to him. (Jump has had a lot of great female...

2B's constant placements in the back could be because he isn't delivering the chapters on time, which we know he isn't. You could even say that the reason Roku has been getting all the promotion is because if Sorachi can't even deliver the chapters on time, he's not going to be able to do color...

I don't think its an overtranslation at all. The original English title going around is not the most accurate translation of 魔界語訳録, which would be more like "Demon World Translation Record". In my opinion Translator Daemonica does a good enough job of conveying the intent of the Japanese title...

Almost every success from 2023/24 was a battle series, and every series from those years that is still currently running in the magazine is one. Just the battle series from those two years alone make up a fourth of the current the line up. What we're seeing right now is just things balancing...

No one is claiming that Ura is not similar to The Dangers in My Heart, the problem is the more baseless comparisons to other series or the use of the term "plagiarism" when everything is copying what came before it to an extent. Plagiarism should be reserved for actually tracing art or similar...

I'd like to see Hori take another shot at sci-fi with his next series. Honestly wasn't a huge fan of his recent one-shot. It was fine as a one-shot but the serialization hook at the end did nothing for me, just feels like it would turn into exorcist MHA.

All fiction is a copy or mix-and-match of what came before it.

I liked the first chapter of The Ura Files, but not fully sold on it yet. Will have to see where it goes from here on out. Ura is definitely cute, but not sure how I feel about the secret agent angle. I suppose without that it really would just be The Dangers in My Heart + Oni. I also like how...
