Should bring up again the first chapters of To Love Ru when a monster put his tentacles in parts of a girl I cannot mention at this hour of the day to remember that Yabuki was never "kids friendly"? It was in Jump! XD

To Love Ru is an education manga.

It teaches kids "young adults" how to build inventions,physiology, chemistry, Xenoarchaeology (study of alien), astronomy, and lots and lots of physic.

I had good laughs with this joke.
Shonen Jump doesn't have a great kids audience. Kids in elementary school age are just 14% of all readers.
To Love Ru are for the 21.3% of 13 to 15 years old guys who are in puberty and just want to see boobs. XD
Educational... pff...

Not confirmed, but it's looking very likely that MHA S2 is a split 2-cour. ADN, the same company that broke the 1-cour news last year, has listed S2 with a 2 part release, with both parts together adding up to 636mins, double the runtime of S1.

I was just thinking about how many chapters would be adapted per episode and I ran into a slight problem with how it would be paced. If it is true this season is a 2-cour. then the number of chapters that could be adapted per episode could be around 1.5 - (Possible) 2.5 chapters. Lets say this season gets 25/26 episodes, which it probably will: 1.5 chapter may make the season fall into the same possible problem that plagued S1 with it being to slow, 2 chapter could possible work(and it's the only one that seems the best option) bu it'll place the season finale at a chapter or two in ta completely separate arc which would be a bit weird, if a 2.5 chapter which feels to fast(but hey studios have sped up the pacing from 0 to 100 before) places it exactly in the middle of an arc which could work out but the draw-backs out way the possible success in my opinion.

It's pretty easy to figure out a good pacing though, if they go at 2 chapters per episode for the whole way through they can end on ch 69 for a great tense finale and plenty of hype for the future.

24 eps is pretty standard for 2 cour and split cour.

Could it still end on that chapter with the Episode 1 recap that ANN announced it's suppose to have?

 

[tirakai]

Golf is the week after next. I'm not sure why they'd put a One Piece cover page in between but who knows, maybe we'll get the 20th anniversary movie announcement or something next issue.

Robot × Laserbeam by Tadatoshi Fujimaki
The manga launches in the 16th issue on March 18

 

[tirakai]

1 episode recap would make it easier if anything, that'd mean they could do a 25 episode series without hurting the adaptation speed.

And if it's 24 eps total they could go slightly faster during one of the more action heavy parts that's light in dialogue.

Why the gap then between the other new series? Jump's 50th?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't have an answer for that.

One Piece doesn't need a reason to have a cover and Lead CP, they should put One Piece in the cover more often, even.

I may be the only one to think this but I think One Piece is at a point in popularity where it shouldn't be ranked any longer everyone knows it's a money maker so why bother worrying Oda over rankings.

They could pin it at the top of the magazine, almost no difference anyway.

Well...its the 20th anniversary of the manga.

I hardly disagree... Why the most sold manga of all time need any more publicity? One Piece does not need it...

One Piece should not even be ranked on toc...

For the 20th year it should have its own magazine :V

One Piece does not need JUMP. JUMP needs One Piece.
