Nice to see Haikyu doing so well...

This is imo the best sports manga WSJ is serving since ES21... It is really interesting at this moment and I am not surprised by its ratings. Volleyball is an interesting sports.

It is nice to see that Toriko and Gintama beat OP and naruto. It rarely happens but I can understand OP's "bad" ranking. The current arc doesn't make me enthusiastic again

 

[Galactic Tomahawk]

I agree, HQ is the first sports series in a while that I've actually wanted to see stick around.

It doesn't entirely fit Furudate's style, but it's been enjoyable so far.

That counts cp and stuff? i don't remember nisekoi being in +10.

 

[kewl0210]

Those ranks don't take into account color pages and non-rankings and stuff, it look like.

 

[Ecchi Boy]

poor Pakki I wanted the series to keep going oh well.

 

[Inumaru]

Me too. Pakki was really a fun series. I hope they give the author a new chance at Saikyo Jump, at least.

 

[Zeromcd]

The first volume Nisekoi sold out off stock on Amazon several hours after it was officially released and won't have be in stock again for another 1-4 weeks.

I just pre-ordered two copies Nisekoi and the new Jump Next! from Kinokuniya. Can't wait to read them.

Pakki END picture

Kubo was probably late on his deadline since we only got 16 pages this week.

Bleach had the same amount of pages this week that it has had ever since this arc started (17), the only difference this week was that Kubo "wasted" two pages on a huge double spread (which obviously counts as two pages). So it's the same amount. The only exceptions are when he gets color pages.

There has been some speculation that Aimoto Shou (Hokenshitsu no Shinigami/Muddy) might be starting a new series some time later this year.

Speculation came about several hours ago when she posted on her twitter account that she finished her rough draft. She did not say what the draft was for.

-----------------------------------------------------

Many Japanese people have been reporting on twitter and blogs that there were very few or no copies of Nisekoi vol.1 left when they went to buy a copy from a bookstore.

It looks like Murata Yuusuke (illustrator of Eyeshield 21) has moved to Bessatsu Shonen Champion (new monthly shonen magazine in Akita Shoten).

 

[Kaiten]

That is slightly unexpected

Will he be doing a yanki manga? Or will he do martial arts

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

Is that srsly another Crows spin-off? God do I love Akita Shoten

 

[Silverblade]

It's not something unbelievable for him to do another project not under Shueisha's wing.

Well, they love their yankees at Akita Shonen, don't they.

 

[Kaiten]

Not unbelievable to leave Shueisha; seeing him go to a new magazine by a second tier, slightly atavistic publisher is still a minor surprise.

And yes, they sure do love their yanki. I sometimes wonder if Shounen Champion has realized the 90's are over.

Maybe they have and don't WANT to recognize the 90's is over. Kinda like how it's taking till just now for publishers to realize that online is where it's at. Though yeah, Murata jumping from a ship that's got full sails ahead to one that's sorta lurching forward as it sinks slowly is an interesting move. I wonder what they did to get him? (maybe he likes yankees too?)

 

[Negative Syndicate]

Well, they love their yankees at Akita Shonen, don't they.

Well, I think they love yankees because the yankees are the main source of money for Akita Shoten.

After reading the latest chapter of Inumaru Dashi it seems like it is going to end next week.

 

[Limit]

After reading the latest chapter of Inumaru Dashi it seems like it is going to end next week.

So, three new series are starting now right? If inumaru dashi ends next week that makes 4 series ending in a row, so I'm guessing another story is starting which makes 4 new, or it just ends without a new series coming a while after. I don't know if that happens in WSJ since I'm still a bit new to the TOC, but from what I've seen a new series comes after a series has ended. I'm not sure if it's for all or just for cancelled series though.

 

[TXC]

Isn't inumarudashi a short gag manga series? maybe the jaguar author will come back lol
