It's the tiger eye vs. the dragon eye. I don't know if that's the reference vinceled was referring to, but it's a common theme among manga, previously used among fellow WSJ titles One Piece and Beelzebub (back when it was still awesome).

Yeah eye techniques, also used a lot in Naruto^^ The drawing of the face is pretty much the same as when they use the techniques.
I actually forgot Beelzebub and OP used the same... shame on me. Though it's true the oneshot had an obvious reference to Zoro in it.

Yeah, the eye technique is pretty common in the manga, especially in action series. It just happens that Kishimoto loves this kind of power.

Yeah I noticed that^^ That aside I quite liked the oneshot, gave it a shot because of the color page and it ended up to be pretty nice. The panelwork at the end was really enticing and the bounty hunters theme was pretty nice too.

Extract from the Wonderful Wonder World oneshot, I must say the mangaka has some guts lol, nice reference :

Those eyes look like taken out of samurai deeper kyo

So.. anything about the Author's Comments this week?

It's not a smart idea to post the scans anymore, so I will refrain from doing so.
From ESJ

Masashi Kishimoto
"I went strawberry picking with my family! They are so delicious when fresh!"

Eiichiro Oda
"I finally got to see the Ghibli movie Kaguyahime no Monogatari. What beautiful animation. Japanese people are amazing!"

Naoshi Komi
"The Nisekoi anime has started!It look better than even I anticipated. Please take a look!"

Tite Kubo
"I already accomplished my New Year's Resolution. Yes, I went to the dentist."

The corresponding issue for comments posted wouldnt have comments from authors whose works were on break for that issue, as the issue with World Trigger and Toriko's return isnt on sale until 2/3...

 

[FanOfAniManga]

Has anyone confirmed which series are going to end within this serialization/cancellation round and when? It just seems like an irregularly longer time.

Is it? I think it is just regular timing?

Based on reading this week's issue, I think Yakenohara going to end on Issue 11 and Hachi/Beelzebub going to follow it.

 

[Reverberate]

Looking at the new series starting right now.

I think that Stealth Symphony might have the most chances of being successful, Durarara's author is decently famous in the anime/manga/light novel world, right?

Tokyo Wonder Boys might catch on IMO, if the matches are gripping and excellent. Like up to the Itto series level.

I'm skeptical about Ai Shoujo. Most distinguishable out of the bunch IMO, but I don't know. Nisekoi is on the rise with its anime, and with Himedol!! axed easily like that, it doesn't give me much hope. But I'll still check it out.

Does author pedigree confer series instant popularity, if Im understanding the wiki entry correctly the writer of Medaka Box was a pretty well regarded writer of many works catering to both otaku and nontraditional fans of the medium. Verily, Stealth Symphony may truly be the clear success story. Im cheering it on.

 

[Kaizou 10]

Shounen Jump = new soccer manga
Jump SQ. = live-adaptation movie of 1/11 Juuichi Bun no Ichi (soccer manga)
Grand Jump = new Captain Tsubasa
Young Jump = new soccer manga

Yup, Shueisha is fully ready for upcoming World Cup.

I actually think Stealth Symphony will be axed pretty quickly. Narita has a habit of incorporating a crapton of characters and Amano is known for having panels to some call way too busy and full.
I don't think that's a good combination at all.

There are cases in which pedigree confers popularity, the most obvious and recent example being Yusei Matsui with Assassination Classroom following Majin Tantei Nogami Neuro. But there are still other cases (I can't say if it's more or less) in which authors with previously highly successful serials return with a less successful serial. Here's a quick list of a few authors I've found and their series in order published, with the bold series being their most successful:

- Ryu Fujisaki (Psycho +, Hoshin Engi, Sakuratetsu Taiwahen, Waqwaq)
- Mizuki Kawashita (Lilim Kiss, Ichigo 100%, Hatsukoi Limited, Anedoki)
- Yoshiyuki Nishi (Muhyo & Roji, Bokke-san, Hachi)
- Nobuhiro Watsuki (Rurouni Kenshin, Gun Blaze West, Buso Renkin)

Overall, if history's shown us, author pedigree doesn't mean too much when it comes to how successful subsequent series will become. Though it's still fun to observe how authors evolve, for better or worse.

I think the recent case scenario of Yusei Matsui may have led some of us to believe that authors can never get worse over time, when, really, they can still lose their adaptability with the audience and editors.

While that is true, Medaka Box was also not a very good ranking series. I think having a famous writer onboard probably secures the series from any early cancellations, but that's just me making assumptions.

I think Medaka is a good case of how a well know author can make a series survive, the ranks were bad, but the volumes were selling great (because of the author).. which made it go through the beginning.

It would still go down if the ranking didn't get better tho. But while choosing between 2 bad rankings ones, the one that sells the most will survive.
