I hope some Brazilian publisher get Yuragi, I bet JBC will get it.
Yuragi is a great ecchi, I can not remember the last time I enjoyed an ecchi so much.

It's just a great manga in general.
It's not just a simple ecchi, it's able to balance multiple genres and have a cast of loveable characters the mangaka cares about growing.

I would say one moment, just one that would agree with Leoat's criticism of Yuragi. The last panel of Chapter 76 was honestly something you'd see in World's End or TLR. It was pretty eye-opening no matter how you look at it. All the other ecchi scenes have been more slapstick comedy than softcore, which is why Yuragi is so much more entertaining than most of its genre.

I have not been sticking with romance that much lately, I'm reading slice of life and some adventure/battle (not necessarily shounen) manga. However, I was always adept of a more pure kind of romance where girls are not viewed as a piece of meat, but as humans who have feelings. It is really hard to conciliate the two things so I prefer not reading ecchi anymore (I read in the past, but I'm stopping more and more, I matured so to speak).

Chapter 82 of Yuragi gave me so many feels ;-;

One Piece are always on the top so people tend to forget about it around here, but it has been extraordinary lately story-wise, but what about sale-wise? It was not long ago that people were saying that its sales was decreasing, the trend continues? Part of this may have digital release as a reason? Because let's be honest, One Piece is already almost impossible to collect, if I were to start reading it now buying volumes I would be digital without a doubt.

One Piece is steady. It basically varies around 100k to 200k up or down but that's almost negligible. Its first printing back at Volume 84 is still at a steady 3.6 million, almost 1.6 million more than the No.2 spot in AoT at 2.07 million. Volume 86 is still most likely at the same number.

Really? I feel this is by far one of the weakest arcs in One Piece. I just want it to fucking end already so I can just breeze through it. Also, I never felt so unenthusiastic about reading OP until this arc started.

The bold part is like the difference between life and death for 99.9% of the series.
Well, it looks good... It never goes down no matter it happens...

This is tangential to this thread but it is Dragon Ball so its still relevant.

The 1 Hr Special this past weekend got a TV rating of 3.5.

ドラゴンボール超秋の１時間ＳＰ
フジテレビ 17/10/08(日) 9:00-60 3.5
It was 0.2% lower than Curious George.

The One Piece Special got a 4.7. While this is due to Kamen Rider/Sentai moving in at the same time, it should be noted that TV ratings are on a downward trend. Sazae-san also only got a 9.7 this past week.

 

[Doughboy]

Damn, that's a drop still. Seemed like every time people posted the ratings when MHA S2 was airing it was always in the 5 range, at worst 4.5.

Its the other way around. Heroaca peaked at 4.5.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Actually, if I remember correctly Hero Academia was always high 3s low 4s. I think the highest it got was 4.5

 

[Doughboy]

Nah I meant DBS was always in the 5 range. I don't remember it dropping lower than 4 when MHA was airing.

 

[Leoat12]

Times are changing after all... Japan marketing companies really to update their numbers to the 21st century including digital audience like Nico Nico and stuff, the same for books. They probably have these numbers, they are not naive, but they could, like, make them public. XD

I was thinking about Neverland's (potential) anime and I realized that if it did get one, it could potentially be a big hit here in the west. It doesn't have any of those "cringey" elements that anime typically has. It could be a really good entry level anime and I can see it being called the "new Death Note" with all the mind games and plot twists that happen in the first arc.

The manga is already probably the biggest new series without an anime here in the west.
So if it were to get an anime I think it's pretty guaranteed that the series will be huge here.

 

[ChocoBar9]

It hasn't even been released in the west yet.

 

[Avok]

Neverland will be the hot thing when it airs, 100%

 

[savethecat]

It hasn't even been released in the west yet.

each chapter is translated here in America every week

The first volume won't be released until December. How can you say its "big" in the west when ut hasn't been released here?
