Yes I'm back just to shill HZ. Bye.

Welp, Kimetsu has now smashed AoT’s record for backlog sales in a week... Second biggest boost on record to One Piece now. Who knows how far this’ll go...

Gender ambiguity is likely simply due to the language. It’s rare in formal writing to use pronouns instead of someone’s name, so it’s rather easy to see how many are unknown since it simply wouldn’t come in up interviews and the like. This also leads to translation problems in interviews like M+...

For female characters this decade, I'd have to say World Trigger, even if it's not in Jump anymore. Tons of females, many capable and in high positions and badasses, none are sexualised or reduced to love interests despite the transformation being a perfect opportunity to do so, and they get...

Jump Plus is recruiting so released some info as of this month: Offering >9000y/pg for a oneshot Offering >12000y/pg for a serialisation 1.5x those numbers for colour pages If a veteran has recieved more elsewhere, it's up for discussion They also get ad revenue. Some authors are getting >100k...

Favourite manga of the decade: Hinomaru Sumo > World Trigger > Haikyu > Act-age > Chainsawman. Honourable mention to Samon the Summoner. Still too early to properly rank AA and CSM though. Almost everything this decade lost my interest with time, and stuff I would have put near the top during...

Sumo consistently had some of the highest colour page counts in the magazine for the first 3 or so years of its serialisation. It even had the most one year iirc. Towards the end it was still getting a ton so it never really slowed down. Definitely a different situation to Stone, but it at least...

Both Kimetsu and Neverland are in extremely fortunate, and quite rare situations now since they’ll be ending on a popularity boom and with anime content likely still to come years from now. AC and Bakuman both ended at a high for popularity, but their anime finished within a year or so of the...

Can't be forgetting Kimetsu was an honorary member :3c. My theory is Muzan used blood demon art to cannibalize the potential sales of the other three.

Fujimoto just turned 27, which means he debuted with Fire Punch at 23. He released his first one shot in Jump SQ 10 years ago.

I may be in the minority, but I don't actually like the battles in Kimetsu much. My favourite parts of the series are the antics between arcs, and they never last long enough! Would love to see Gotouge try something like Sket Dance/Gintama though. Her handling of character interactions is some...

That HZ ending really was perfect. Tied up all loose ends, gave laughs, satisfying. Shame it couldn’t have got the extra two chapters in Jump to finish in the magazine (Not like anything worthwhile took its place), but oh well. Perfect run from start to finish and never dragged on. You did us...

David was part of it two years ago or something. They’re One Shots of like 3 pages in length.

Great news about the HZ epilogue, now It really will have had one of the best runs in Jump history. And Kimetsu’s train arc getting a movie is probably the best thing that could’ve happened. Surely I wasn’t the only one thinking we’d have to wait ages for another season because Ufo only does a...

What's interesting about Double Arts was that it managed to get a cover for its 13th chapter which is earlier than everything post 2000 except Ichigo 100%, Toriko, and Sam8 (if you count LCPs since they're basically the same thing), and matched by Bleach. It placed extremely high in the TOC for...
