Pygmalion ends next month if anyone remembers that. They're advertising that the first two volumes got reprints so guess it did well enough, wonder how much of that was from being by Horikoshi's assistant.

It looks like volume 13 will follow the trend of volume 8 of having a lot of lasting power due to it being released during the anime. I'm sure 14 will be the same as well due to the 2 cours.
You should also factor in Golden week for this past week's boost. Following the airing of episode 5, around the middle of last week all volumes started ranking in the top 100 in the rankings of many bookstores. It jump into the top 20 in tsutaya's daily ranking, peaking at #15 and beating out OPM despite being at around #30 a few days ago. Most people finally got enough time to buy all the volumes. Add to that episode 6 with its further boost. I'd say it might be possible to even show up 7th week as from here on out its non-stop tournament action.

Yup, we're finally getting to the best part of the sports festival arc. Hopefully the sales just keep on coming for Hero Academia.

If Tamura stuck with his original Tiger Brothers one-shot for this serialization do you guys think it would have been better recieved than Hungry Marie

nah, imo Tiger Bros and Hungry Marie are both not that funny, he just writes boring gender benders with forced fan service

I think he should have stayed with lighthearted goofy adventures, that was his forte

the small flashback portion of Marie, where Taiga is a kid and just goofing around with his childhood friends exploring the neighborhood looked like a series that I would love to read

Hungry Marie may not be my thing as far as manga goes I do think however that Tamura went with the lesser of two evils when he chose to do Hungry Marie over Tiger Brothers. To me Tiger Brothers tried way to hard to be comedic about the characters when it didn't have to while I still think Hungry Marie tries to hard to be comedic it's not nearly as bad as Tiger Brothers.

Kingdom boost isn't that weird if you think about it

it got an episode centered around it in a very popular tv talk show watched by a lot of viewers



or he learned from World Trigger that he doesn't need to return from hiatus to release a volume

anyway, that's good news, it means Togashi is healthy enough to draw the cover
I think it's a bit different case, since World Trigger still have 4 chapters that were not included in the latest volume, but for HxH there won't be any chapter left after volume 34 release

What are some of the best examples of comedy manga in the magazine then?

Gintama is praised a lot but what else? I still have to finish watching bobobobo. I feel Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi will be a great comedy series but I'll wait till it's fully translated.

Saiki Kusuo has replaced Gintama for me since Gintama has pretty much been a battle manga for the last few years.

I feel like the current arc's had a better mix of comedy and action so far than the last few arcs have had. It's still well away from still being considered a gag series though.

I stopped reading weekly maybe about 10 chapters into the Silver Soul arc. Gintama is still one of my favourite series of all time, but I really haven't been enjoying it that much. It pains me to say that.

No one talks about this: Which are your favorite artists from Jump SQ or SQ Crown? Considering yesterday's topic, I wanted to know this from you

Broken link?
Okay yeah my phone kind of screwed that up but in all fairness I feel like even without a link, being able to find the thread that is in the same exact place as this one should form some sort of test of minimum intelligence you have to pass before being allowed to post.
Anyway fixed the link.

Not so fast. People probably this thread on favorites with the title "General discussion - discussions about the meaning of life is also accepted". :)

Can't it be possible to do this discussion here? Because in that Jump SQ thread, there's little audience, and here at least you got more people to discuss the topic

This is the list that I read and classified them as "comedy"
Pure Comedy: Beelzebub, Sket Dance, Isobe, Spring Weapon N1, Dr Slump

RomCom: Nisekoi, We Never Learn is funny sometimes.

EcchiCom: To Love Ru, Yuragi sou no Yuuna san.

Comedy but not that funny: Samon-kun, Hungry Marie.

This thread is for talking about WSJ. I'm probably the biggest SQ fan on this site, but I don't post about it in here because SQ is not WSJ, so unless it's something with a direct link to the weekly magazine it's off-topic here and belongs in the other thread. If you think there aren't enough people talking there then try to get people talking there, that's sort of the whole point.
