Any chance the plagiarism is the "true" reason DTTF got axed?

And maybe their original plan was to axe only Kinato and the 2 new series would replace Kinato and HxH, but the surprise plagiarism came and they had to axe it.
nah highly doubt it
the manga was just not doing any numbers; the color page didn't even mention popularity. probably was a thing where all 3 of the batch would get a color page at ch13 100%

Yeah, DttF was simply not popular, the color page was just a batch thing, only reason Class 2B isn't going too it's because Sorachi.

I know I'm late on this but this is insane, and I can't believe some people are giving the benefit of the doubt to the author considering it's so blatant. The fucking wrinkles on the first image are the exact same, lmao.
You didn't post this one which I think is by far the funniest one. For some reason the author deemed it necessary to plagiarize a panel of someone's toes!

I didn't even see that, that's INCREDIBLE lmao

Yeah, no, there are no excuses for this

Fucking hate social media. Just got spoiled for the new HxH chapter. So annoying that FB doesn't give the ability to have to click on certain images for them to load. Then again, the pieces of shit who want to spoil things probably wouldn't toggle that in the first place.
At least this batch is going out with a bang ig...

GreyKeys: Translations from the Demon World Lead Color Pages


The Ura Files Color Page


Shinobi Undercover Color Page


Me & Roboco Color Page
The Shinobi Colour Page is actually REALLY nice. Where was this creativity with the earlier colour pages ffs lol. GreyKeys looks nice, I think I read the One Shot but I don't remember much about it lmao, hopefully the actual series can leave more of a mark on me. I'm into supernatural/spooky vibes, so hopefully that helps.

Ura's colour page.....i will keep my mouth shut. But I will say after going a while without some true ecchi series, it's funny it now kinda has two in this and Animal Signal (seems like it'll be safe? For now anyway).

I feel like Roboco's is a reference to something (like most of it's existence tbh lol) but not sure what.

I know I'm late on this but this is insane, and I can't believe some people are giving the benefit of the doubt to the author considering it's so blatant. The fucking wrinkles on the first image are the exact same, lmao.

I'm fucking dying man, this is just so.....like the BALLS to do this and hope nobody would notice is just so funny to me. To be FAIR - they did actually make it all the way to 19 chapters and an axe before anyone noticed, which is further than they should have, so I mean....but still, what was their plan if the series went on beyond that? Lmao. And if you were gonna trace and copy, doing one off bits of a page here and there is bad enough, but to also copy the panels like for like AND the structure of them??? I'm in disbelief.


Still the artist will probs be fine. Mangaka have done worse stuff and still continued lol, it's not a particularly "high moral" profession/environment lol.

It's also not fair to compare current sales numbers to series from prior decades, given a huge bulk of sales come from digital nowadays, and those numbers aren't really released publicly.
More people are likely consuming manga worldwide than ever before, it's just now people aren't restricted to buying paper versions of the magazine or volumes.
When will they change that? I understood why they kept it a secret 6 years ago, but right now there's no reason for this. We have hundreds upon thousands of manga apps available worldwide, everyone knows about online sales, and takes part on it. Why not disclose the numbers?
Only theory I have is that they don't want online sales to discourage readers from buying physical volumes

I thought it would be Gray Keith, the kana was wrong for Keys and also Keys isn't a name.

I usually don't care about titles getting localized since it's not meant for me, it's for a casual person who randomly sees it at a Barnes and Nobles or whatever, but what the hell is this? This is the most "you gotta change things to justify your pay" sounding name ever.

I kinda get the Greykeys change. In japanese when you say the name you can associate with the keys he's carrying but since it isn't the focus of the story its just a cool pun. Kinda like MaDAN no Ichi is lost in the english translation.

But Translator Daemonica? Why?

Publishers don't even give that to Oricon or Shoseki, they get sales numbers from retailers, so even there some stuff is missing because they don't get numbers from ALL stores in Japan (though it's the majority). Same goes for most tracked sales data (games, BDs, etc), companies only report their actual sales through financial reports or press releases/marketing. When they say Nue has 1.6M copies in circulation for 14 volumes, that is the actual sale number that matters to Shueisha, but they won't disclose how much of that is physical/digital, we just assume the digital ratios based on the physical sales we have.

I think both are useful, but honestly I don't get why manga fans ignore circulation numbers so much when they're the most reliable ones. lol Maybe part of it is how 2000s battle shonen-centric the western community sadly is, they get stuck in old exaggerated expectations and methods.

Hal Formula will be getting a "super luxurious" recommendation for its 1st volume!

It has to be Yuki Tsunoda
Someone bigger would be an actual surprise
Another possibility is Kazunori Yamauchi, considering they're still racing at Sportsland Sugo (if I'm not misremembering), which just got announced for Gran Turismo 7.

I'm glad roku is popping off too, I only wish that Agravity Boys got this amount of love, but Roku deserves it and then some. Glad to see a series unquestionably win this year.
I dropped AGravity Boys after like 5 chapters. Roku's is leagues better.


Chapter is 13 pages long so I just think it's him submitting late tbh.
I am one of the few who also feels like the series is overrate.
I wonder why jump brought him back so soon if he still isn't able to keep up with the demanding schedule? He's had low ranking since he came back into the magazine. How can we find out if it is just him not being able to deliver or if the votes are working against him as well?

Hima-ten's extra chapter is a better ending than the actual manga one.

Kanna
gets Tenichi's sister as her housekeeper. The Best Iemori won! Himari gets nothing as usual.

the English title is “Graykeith: Translator Daemonica”
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

Odd choice. greykeys was already in English
It's weird but tbh I don't hate it. Especially if it is the protagonist's name Graykeith sounds much more namely than Greykeys, and "Translations from the Demon World" or whatever it was being truncated to "Translator Daemonica" feels like a reasonable contraction while also trying to make it sound cooler.

Has the extra chapter been posted and/or translated anywhere, or did you just get the physical volume? (I'm assuming it's way too early for it to be translated)
