The girl kinda looks like a purple hair Onodera lol. Just stay away from random childhood friends and gorilla characters and Komi will be straight. Go easy on the romance too, romance fanatics always turn on you in the end if their dream isn't fulfilled. Never fails.

Since there's no jump plus forum, have you guys read Astra Lost In Space?

Naw, but I've seen it mentioned a few times by jagman and other users. Have never seen an image or preview of it a day in my life.

You should check it out! Kinda reminds me of Cage of Eden. Last chapter comes out tomorrow

I'm pretty excited to see Astra's finale, I've enjoyed the series a lot.

I wonder if Viz will pick up another Jump+ series to replace it on their free site.

I sure hope so!

 

[Mammo]

they picked up Junni Taisen, so unless Yabuki goes full Darkness mode on Darling in the FranXX, they will probably pick it up as well

That controller is screaming "I tried to make it different please don't sue me."

we laugh but after what happened to Hi Score Girl the fear is real

 

[OfficialHxH]

Nothing much but just felt like sharing it:

Ok, so it will be about fighting games, which makes sense because of the controller. I'll be interested if it becomes serialized, but if it's just going to be forever a one-shot, then whatevs.

 

[Leoat12]

You never know. Nisekoi came from an oneshot. I'm certain that Komi Naoshi doesn't draw a lot of oneshots just to have fun, if the editors say that they want to serialize such oneshot he will do it.

 

[Doughboy]

When I saw sports I got scared but if it's based on fighting games I'm down. Nisekoi's deserved backlash towards the end was because of the aimless filler chapters over and over again to how he ruined characters that showed great character development (Tsugumi/Marika) over the series in all of a few chapters dedicated to them. For me though I enjoyed more than I disliked and that's all that matters so I'll look forward to an actual serialization.

Yeah, but we're getting 5 new one-shots from previously successful mangaka in WSJ, I feel like they'll only serialize the most popular one.

fighting games are e-sports

 

[tirakai]

These feel more like special genuine one-offs to me, I suppose they could serialise them but I'd imagine with the big name creators they would just start a new series without having to test oneshots first. This is a special one-off anniversary thing, so I'm thinking they're ideas the writers thought were cool as short stories but wouldn't really want to make a proper series out of.

 

[Doughboy]

Like actual sports, like baseball or something. Not virtual competition.

 

[Koi Kage]

Like actual sports, like baseball or something. Not virtual competition.

Well in japan they have an esports league so technically they are considered sports and the IOC (International Olympic Committee) has ruled that e-sports are in fact real sports so yeah the grey area is getting kind of small.

 

[Doughboy]

Oh had no idea. I remember a few years ago the GameStop where I live had some for Smash Bros Brawl and Tekken, so I'm aware it's an actual thing. I think esports have more potential to be entertaining.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Yeah, considering how many there are and they're for the anniversary, they seem to be One Shots for the sake of it. Not because they're ideas for a full fledged series. Though I guess we'll see. Would be interesting if one did go that route.

 

[ElJin]

Isn't time to be announced the singers for the new Black Clover's OP/ED?

 

[101nemesis]

eSports market revenue back in 2016 was almost 500 million USD. So it's a huge upcoming market.

 

[Caiops]

She looks like the sensei in Nisekoi.

That's what I was thinking, but if one of them has a tremendously successful reception, I'm sure they wouldn't think twice about trying to turn it into a serialization at some point this year.
