todoroki is an edgelord though. no kamnar?

 

[kobester11]

Id prefer shogi to survive.

Agreed. Although its generic as hell, it has some certain charm with it. probably because the dorm supports him or etc.

he wasn't there, but we did trash talk about him behind his back

 

[Drmke]

Just saw this on twitter.

From Narcos! Netflix can be played with in funny ways.

Are there female editors in the Weekly Shonen Jump departement?

This is actually a good question. In Bakuman there weren't any, even though there were female authors and artists.

There were also no females on a video tour of Shueisha that they did to promote Bakuman a while back where they showed the real Hattori.

Even if there are some females, it seems to largely be a male dominated job, so that also makes me wonder if there are male editors in Shojo magazines, since they have almost exclusively female writers and artists. If shojo magazines also have mostly male editors, I guess that would mean editing manga is a job that's more popular with males. If not, maybe they just mostly hire males for the shonen departments and females for the shojo departments, because they trust them to understand the demographic better?

[Mammo]

Best Blue is dead
Kagami is dead
Straighten Up! is not looking too good, but there are a lot of unranked series, so it should look better soon
Samon's first chapter is only 40 pages & its second chapter is 25 pages, i'm guessing this series will be a short gag like Saiki

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Damn Best Blue really is dead.....

 

[ryozen]

First bottom for Sesuji wo Pin.

Also, it's the 6th color page (excluding the one in the 2nd chapter) for Black Clover, 1 more than Boku no Hero in same number of chapters (31). Black Clover has an average ranking of 4,76 and Boku no Hero had 2,5 at that time... too much support of Jump?

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Love that the next volume cover of Black Clover will feature Noelle.

Editors for BL manga have been male.

 

[ShenGao]

I don't like seeing Sesuji wo Pin! so far down and Nisekoi could be further down the list. Best Blue and Kagamigami are doomed to be axed in the next round.
Other than that it seems like a normal ranking.

 

[SharkBait]

A dance manga dropped further reaffirms my previous prediction that it is not something jump readers want. Dance is better done in anime (tribe cool crew and Brave Beats)

Omg that SoKuga art for food wars. I need it.

 

[Eru13]

Omg that SoKuga art for food wars. I need it.

It looks identical to the color spread during that arc though...
Also @hunt, the color page isn't for Mononofu but for Samon-kun

 

[Soul Soul Brigade]

I like that Samon color page, I hope it's a success! But, I doubt Viz is going to pick up any of the Jump Starts this round because Ohba and Obata are returning with a new series in Jump SQ. Even though it's a monthly I just have a feeling that Viz won't pick up another weekly.

 

[ElJin]

Black Clover CP:

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Looks great! And Noelle looks adorable on the cover. Hope Tabat was able to get some sleep....

 

[Avok]

The color page and the volume cover of BC both look good! And what's up with the dancing series? So low! But maybe it's because all the unranked series above.
