Something funny I just noticed:

The BL is so strong in this manga that it references SharkBait himself.

Then, maybe it will be moved to Shueisha's BL magazine (BL-Ink) in the future.

I really want to read Galaxy Kings.

It could be switched to how much Volume 2 will sell . Red sprite looks interesting as I can't remember the last time a machine army was involved in Jump and I love Tomohiro's color pages. If someone read it and Ishiyama's oneshot, can you write what's it about?

I haven't got the last 1/4 or so of it, but I didn't really like what I read. Yagi needs to stop trying to draw military manga, it was easily the weakest part of Iron Knight, and Iron Curtain was just terrible. I was really hoping for something more like Goblin Night this time.

Anyone know how many chapters have currently Kochikame? I think, by count, it has 1896 chapters, but I can't confirm it. Help, please.

There is no official chapter count. Among jump readers there are two different ways to keep record of Kochikame chapters: Kochikame Database or Weekly Shonen Jump. Normally people are refering to the Kochikame database count and according to that chapter 1895 is released in issue #33/2015

Did anyone read Kyousei no Murasaki oneshot in NEXT?

Just when I was hitting one lick on Amazon it sold out!


Eager to read Best Blue tomorrow in better quality. So excited to support this series. I wish Viz would release some of the Golden Duture Dup, it would be interesting to compare what that audience liked compared to Japan.....

Here's the rest of the NEXT stuff. Next issue is out in August.

And the strange patern happens again. July then August although it is bimonthly.
I'm still curious about the reason, the other bimonthly mangas i read run in magazines that never changes, they are either released on odd months or even, never mixed.

 

[SharkBait]

Shimmer Tsukky is yet another excellent canonical Haikyuu AU, though I prefer FHQ a bit more. I bet Tsukky named the owl Bokuto.

Last year it was probably because they started the bimonthly released a few months into the year, and without the extra issue it wouldn't have gone up to 2014 Volume 6. This year I've got no idea, although they're kinda promoting it by having the covers of this issue and the next join together to form one Kuroko image.
Also I forget if it's been posted here already, but next month's issue comes with My Hero Academia and Hinomaru Zumo posters.

I only remember the Crows Angels: https://41.media.tumblr.com/b1a447e7e5958b9edf16e20ef068f744/tumblr_nl3tq2zExG1rwgoz5o1_500.png

Are there others? Other than the Shimmer Tsukky of course.

Sports manga doesn’t sell in North America – False.

Edited Mangas hurt manga sales – True. Publishers make decisions based on Edited Mangas – False.

At this point I'm willing to accept that Edited Mangas might hurt their profits, but please don't try to tell me that they don't make decisions based on what's popular online....that's just a ludicrous assertion. Online, English-speaking fandoms who read Edited Mangas are the reason so many series get licensed in the first place.

Yeah... NO.
I did Wagatsuma back then, and it became sorta popular. Suddenly Kodansha/crunchyroll picked it up all of a sudden. Now, most series that get licensed in the States are either (1) from a popular author (2) had an anime adaptation or (3) really popular in japan.

Sadly to say, Wagatsuma aren't either of those. Why would they pick up a manga that's full of 2ch references and mostly gag (which americans hate)?

Viz, where is Haikyuu!!, though maybe this means Viz will definitely fully do Best BLue.
