Yeah. In this issue of Toriko it said Toriko will be absent next week.
It also said that the total sales of Toriko is at 10 million volumes sold now, for the first 16 volumes.
That was revealed in chapter 163. A big difference compared to chapter 138 when they announced it was at 7.3 million.

4th Place: Chapter 34 - "Won't Kill Your Life"
3rd Place: Chapter 76 - "My Older Sister Kurokami Kujira"
2nd Place: Chapter 96 - "Because It's My Job!''
1st Place: Chapter 70 - "I Love You"

no surprise at all, besides that the apron vision chapter is missing...

are there more of these infos for other series like bakuman. it's quite interesting to see what japanese people like the most.

PS: yeah 111 posts! ;-)

Chapter 70 was the result of the character popularity contest.
And one of the greatest scenes of the manga.

Spoiler

Kumagawa and Zenkichi "dying" together

No, it is not result of the character popularity poll. Plus, that ranking is based on a best battle scene, not a best chapter.

Oh yeah. I understand, thanks Negative Syndicate.

I was just wondering, is ST&RS the first space manga in Jump? Because I don't think I've ever seen another one >.>

Thanks :3

I think so, plus there really aren't many space manga in all of manga mangazines.

I don't think this is what you meant... but there is of course Space Adventure Cobra.
(takes any excuse to bring up Space Adventure Cobra)

Is that more like an action and adventure?

I'm not sure whether muraskii23 meant for manga that about space development or manga that actually takes place in space.

In change of subject, since Enigma is gone, I wonder which series will be taking last place; Kagami going to drop even more to bottom, or; Nurarihyon drops to bottom, or; St&rs returns to last place?

Or Kurogane dropping at the bottom too, which is unlikely for now (since it will have its first couple of rankings) but possible in the upcoming weeks unless it really did have a nice reception among JUMP voters.

I'm 99.9% sure ""Kurogane" will be the next bottom dweller and Kagami will probably be a bottom dweller aswell. The latest chapter of Kagami no Kuni had a very sudden development which i can only think that either

a.) The next couple of rankings for the series were really bad
b.) Kano is trying hard to beat out Nisekoi

I also don't think Kagami has had any Echhi since.... chapter 12, which i thought was very enjoyable but the following chapters weren't that great.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From what i've read on the internet, the initial reception for the new gag series "Pakki" has been pretty terrible.

- "The oneshot wasn't interesting at all"
- "Whats Pakki?"
- "Cancelled in 10 weeks"
- "Pakki is getting serialised? That thing was actually popular?"

And other comparisons about Inumaru, Sket and Gintama being better and not needing another comedy.

Then, what is your explanation on Kurogane?

I just don't find any of it appealing really. The art isn't that great, the characters aren't that great, the character development isn't that great. I also don't remember but does the protagonist even have a goal? Sorry if i sounded rude Kurogane fans.

The author has also picked up alot of haters due to the comments he said on his twitter. Of course most likely only a small fraction of the constant voters in Jump probably even know about that though.

Apparently the series "Nisekoi" will have two main Heroines, unlike the oneshot which only has one.

I'm not sure if this is true though, but confirmation should be made in 20hours when the Preview of the next issue is posted on the Shounen Jump site.

that is interesting... Komi never did any real love triangles before, so wonder how it'll turn out. Though I'd personally like with him sticking to just one couple since I feel that's what he does best. But I guess it's better for giving more of a plot.


as for Kurogane, I don't think it's that bad, and it's been able to keep me reading it every week, but at the same time, I don't see it becoming much of a hit or anything great.

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 2

Has anyone read this week Bakuman?

Without spoiling anything, an editor says: To have them publish once a month a month in a weekly magazine is favoritism!

Cough Togashi.. Level E cough..

Hmm, I can see Komi changed his art style a bit compared to his previous works. Although I'm not sure whether I like his new style or not. His old one had a certain touch to it, but this one is more mainstream, even though I like it just as much as his old one.

You're late on the pick-up. I don't know if you knew it or not, but there's a post in more detail regarding that:

WSJ 48 Preview:

The series for 'Nisekoi' may have two heroines, but the idea of it being a love triangle is still vague. The woman in the left may be Raku's younger sister, or something between those lines; a cousin, maybe?
