Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san and We Never Learn (Included Collab Poster)

What I hoped it would never happen will happen... Here goes We Never Learn girls purity...

 

[XtrnlArdent]

I think the poster will go more to WNL side than the Yuragi one, a winter themed one is my bet. After the controversy the last Yuragi colorspread had, I don't see them doing it again. (I suppose)

Better drop the series then .

Finally Haikyuu getting a low ranking, the manga has been terrible lately

Haikyuu has completely gone off the rails this match. A shame really.

Guys this is too much of a hyperbole. This exact same match got second place last week. Isn't this just another instance of Japanese readers couldn't be bothered to vote when the protagonist team not winning?

 

[cody]

Fuck, does the recent news kill off any chances of Kenshin getting an anime remake? I hope not.

Houkkaidou-hen officially on "hiatus"

Well, it's not like the Hokkaido arc started off good anyway.

A remake seems out of the question now that the news has broke.

Yeah, but it isn't straight up canceled, at least not yet. I guess we'll have to wait and see the outcome.

I'm talking about the match in general. Wasn't necessarily referring to the rankings.

 

[SharkBait]

Off the rails in haikyuu, stop. The twins are really hot thats all that matters. Its been an A+ match. Tanaka got a moment, nishinoya got a moment, all we need is a tsukihina moment and more aobajosai/datekou/nekoma commentary/fukurodani commentry.

Well i never like rurouni kenshin in the first place. I can not support one who openly admits to liking innocent children in a sexual manner. Screw rurouni kenshin.

 

[De La Croissant]

No more covers to HeroAca.

C'mon, Watsuki! That's sad.

 

[Mr.Fujimaster]

Looks like Nobuhiro Watsuki (Rurouni Kenshin author) is charged with possession of child pornography: https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20171121-00050067-yom-soci

Wow, this news made me very disappointed with Nobuhiro Watsuki.
I was a super fan of Rurouni Kenshin.

At least BLack Clover is still top 5. Sad Haikyuu fell some.

 

[Nakura]

Fortunately, I've never been a fan of any of Watsuki's works, but it's shame for the people who are. Horrible news indeed.

 

[Luca11]

I guess that's it then.

Edit: Although I guess this might not be the end for Watsuki. Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro came back twice as strong after his arrest.

 

[ChocoBar9]

Oda can't help him out of this one. What's worse is that this has pretty much tarnish the Rurouni Kenshin brand for the foreseeable future and Jump is more than likely going to ignore it for any special events like Seikimatsu.

I guess that's it then.

Edit: Although I guess this might not be the end for Watsuki. Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro came back twice as strong after his arrest.

Shimabukuro was charged with violating child prostitution laws which was settled out of court and never made public eye, he was allowed to end Sekimatsu in Super Jump once the charges had been settled and immediately started working on Toriko. This case with Watsuki has already broken public eye and child porn is a much serious offense especially given the current state Japan is in so even after he either pays the fine or serves time in prison his already dead career as a mangaka is over and Kenshin will never be held in the same regard ever again.

 

[Silverblade]

Kenshin was always an unremarkable period action manga to me, so I feel like nothing of value was lost.

Hopefully, leaks come earlier this week and we won't drag this discussion out, but who am I kidding, the west loves scandals more than manga.

 

[tirakai]

In other news, viz is finally up to where the Eldlive scans got to and are past the MHA Illegals ones as far as I know. They're still 9 chapters behind Japan on Eldlive, but at the current rate I think they'll catch up around February?

I wonder if they'll bring over a new Jump+ thing once when they finally catch up with Eldlive, they did pick up Zodiac War recently but I'm guessing that'll just be a short series. I can't imagine them picking up something by a newbie (unless it's another spin-off of a main magazine series) but I can see them maybe picking up something else they can promote based on the creator's previous works.

What other Jump+ series have a well-known creator behind them?
