Certain series' fanbases have always been really bad for that.

The absolute worst was definitely Bleach where the fans just assume that everyone read the leaks immediately like they do and never marked any spoilers. I remember people also used to tweet at Kubo himself days before the chapter was out.
The thing is that this case it's not about fanbases but regular accounts and these anime accounts with hundreds of thousands followers that normally don't post leak pages but this time they're just posting and talking about HxH like nothing and not caring at all if they're going to spoil thousands of people, the biggest tweet about the HxH final page which isn't even a leaker account has nearly 100k likes!

So I HOPE the age ranges don't mean they are adapting the timeskip right away because...this seems even more of a hard sell to make the movie work.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the bigger accounts that aren’t leakers aren’t even aware the degree to which they’re sharing leaks, they might’ve just heard someone else mention it and just say it to the world without realizing it wasn’t officially out yet. Might just be me giving the benefit of the doubt though, and it still sucks regardless.

Gotta agree on this. Currently hxh is caught between a very casual fanbase (anime watchers who will not read the manga), and then like the very hardcore manga readers lol. (Not to say this is the entirety, but those are two pretty distinct groups).
And so imo, that leak kinda left the manga circles and now casual fans are posting it, not realizing it’s a leak. Which sucks, but it’s sorta in the same vein of jjk, where a lot of casuals assume that if the page is out, then the chapter is out.

All the big shounen fanbases suck by default, it's not specific to one. They get so into the idea of being A Fan of Something they refuse to try new things and just call them bad by default. Some people that grew up with a few of the biggest series in the 2000s refused to acknowledge the qualities in My Hero Academia, Black Clover, Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer.

Now that generation that grew up with these 2010s series does the same with the current new series and use stupid metrics like sales to justify their point: "Oh, new gen is bad because sales aren't as good as they used to be".

It's a weird generation tribalism for these people. They want to be Bleach fans forever, Naruto fans forever, Jujutsu Kaisen fans forever, etc and think that being a fan means you have to be perpetually stuck in your teenage years interests and can't enjoy anything new or different.

I'll never get it. I had a lot of fun with Bleach, Reborn, DGM, Toriko, etc back then and because of that I want to also keep enjoying new series as they come out. As much as we complain here sometimes about some specific things, at least I see most people at least have a few things they enjoy. lol

I could believe that if it wasnt for all these accounts literally posting the low quality japanese page from leakers :grin

What does it mean, though? Are they really doing something for the manga, then?
No, this is just the series currently running in the magazine, is nothing special.

I dunno…
Maybe they’ll be Shippuden age but start from the original storyline. If we start out with 12-13 year olds you’ll have to deal with puberty issues (see Avatar The Last Airbender)

Yea the HxH leaks are pretty big. I’m like 20 chapters behind but these got on my feed from random anime pages. Too bad cause it’s one of those things I would have liked to have seen for myself when reading it

A bit late but my comments for this week ToC:

Me & Roboco: 6 years of serialization! Who could expect that when the series started in 2020? Even if it was popular from the start still a great achievement, even Saiki Kusuo lasted 279 chapters and here we have Roboco with 290 and going for 300 chapters! It's a great achievement, the only thing that is definitely weird is Roboco not having a 2nd anime season yet, it's a short anime that must be super cheap to produce, why there's nothing new yet?

For me Roboco can keep going for 10 years, i think at this point it has more than earned its spot in the magazine as the 2020's Jump gag series, not to mention that the volume cover parodies are great!

Akane-banashi: 1st place, i guess the Akane vs Kaisei is being very well received as expected.

Ichi the Witch: Seems like Ichi is going into a bit of a lower moment in the ToC with the last week and this one placement, Fujimine is going to be introduced soon so i expect the series to go back to top 1 again lol

Nue's Exorcist: Yooooo 4th place!!! I was not expecting that at all, but actually i should because the chapter ranked is around 147 & 148 which would totally make sense since ch148 was that amazing & mind blowing chapter with Gakuro losing Nue powers, realistically it should've been 1st place lol but well, at least in the top 5 and we will have another color page next issue!

Under Doctor: Well, well, well, look who is again rising in the ToC and this time is in the freaking TOP 5!!! That's the best UD placement since the 1st ranking which was also top 5! Now, which made the series reach this placement is a bit more complicated, it's supposed to be chapter 18 ~ 19 instead of the SoL ones but the whole "Samurai Cameroon" did became a meme in the Japanese Forums, in a positive way, so i guess readers did like this mini arc? Let's see how it will place next issue, would be crazy if goes right to bottom 3 again lol

But anyway, the manga is behaving more or less like i expected, it could be definitely more consistent so far but it's a manga that isn't going to be like Kinato and just die in the bottom 1/2, it's a case of a manga that goes up and down constantly which means the series never stay "dead" and with that is able to, at the very least, survive for longer than people expects, this aligned with the good sales (Whatever if scalpers helped) shows to me the manga do have the potential to be a mainstay in the magazine, it only needs to find a balance.

Roku's House of Oddities: And finally Roku stepped in the bottom, it was going to happen sooner or later, is really nothing to worry at this moment, today nearly every new popular series on Shonen Jump gets placed in the bottom at least once, there are the aliens like Someone Hertz but even Ichi placed in the bottom at the beginning so it was just a matter of time for Roku, specially being a episodic comedy series, some chapters will be well received and others not so much but considering the manga went 8 consecutive weeks outside the bottom i think is a pretty good sign for the manga, at least in the short term.

Class 2B: Bruh, Saito & cia placed Sorachi first color page in the bottom 3??? What the hell is going on with this Editorial team? This have never happened before, i legit don't know what is Saito tactics by doing that to a big veteran like Sorachi, independent if the manga is getting good or terrible reception, you just don't do that, what kind of message you think you're sending to the magazine readers when you shove in the bottom these color pages from new series without a volume release? Talk about literally sabotaging the author lol

Well, now curious to see how it will rank next issue, if it is in the bottom 3 again, i guess that's it, Samurai 8 2.0 huh?

I pity their intelligence when they see a badly taken low quality untranslated camera photo and believe it is a leak. No wonder discussions in jjk fandom went to hell when most readers are so dumb and guillible
