Finally had a look at full drive, so far my impression:
Maybe it's a translation thing, but I found the whole chapter super choppy.
We jumped from the hero being bullied as a kid and being taught table tennis in order to take pride in himself or something, then Boom!
Four years passed...
Another soccer manga? It felt like just yesterday when ole golazo was cancelled, and I really liked that one. It had dynamic artwork, appealing characters and an interesting premise with an ex fighter turning into a football player. What more do you need?
In other words...I have no clue what...
I think it's fine if a character can't be interchangable gender wise. What matters to me is whether they are still appealing and not a token "x" character
I have a simple test for a female character in shonen to see whether they are written simply as the token female character in a group...

Wait so there has been 2 rankings already? There's too much chat around here for me to notice.
This forum has way more activity than expected when jump only comes out once a week
It's a shame Poro isn't doing too well this week, it has that stupid straight faced humour that I like. But have to...
I'm still really liking R&L too. I like the way they dropped in the golf terminology, as how they teach the sport is generally how I get hooked into sport series. Too much terminology and you might as well get a book, too little and there's literally no reason for it to be a golf or whatever...
