Well, Act-Age has mostly dedicated the last 2 chapters to introducing the rival. Let's see how they deal with that sort of development.

Spoiler

This rival girl looks anorexic.

 

[shoyoboyo]

I think it's just the artist's style since the main girl looks like that too. I like it because it looks pretty and elegant.

Also, are we just going to ignore all those adult men taking what are essentially upskirt shots of that girl

The final chapter of Saiki has been posted on Baidu

Spoiler: Here's the link

What the hell. He was able to lost his power? And now we're going to see that in the 4-koma? lol

 

[SharkBait]

My fav saiki moment was when he was talking about being spoiled on movies and games cause of his power lol.

So I can't read Japanese, but from what I was able to pick up on 4chan about that...

Spoiler: Potentially incorrect interpretation

It seems like the device didn't work perfectly since the window shattered when he got scared over the cockroach

She looks like she has the same crazy-eye look as the main girl. I'm pretty interested to see how this will rank and sell.

I have the impression that Act-Age is something so unique that it may either drop dead in the first ranks or explode like something like AC, which was also pretty unique.

It will be overlooked by Bozebeats. Bad luck for act age to face such intense conpetition from the masterpiece..

 

[Caiops]

Last chapter of Bozebeats was really good, thats a good manga.

 

[Leoat12]

What are the BL/Yaoi tendencies this time? :P

 

[TyVip]

Just shirtless guys.

 

[OfficialHxH]

Act Age is the only new manga in Jump that I've actually wanted to keep reading. Bozebeats first chapter had potential but i got bored in the second chapter and couldn't even finish the 3rd. Dropped Lycopene and also Golem Hearts & Fulldrive. Well so did Jump.
Point is I'm really hoping Act Age kicks uo in popularity. It's different from regular Jump manga which if done right is really cool. Here's to hoping Viz picks it up

 

[Luca11]

I like the look the rival even more than that of the protagonist now. Please please stay alive and be picked up.

Ill try to summarise Saiki final chapter, but its a bit confusing since I haven’t read this arc:

Spoiler

Essentially, His powers cause something bad to happen that I don’t really understand and he time travels a lot. Saiki tells his friends he has powers at the end of last chapter and they react badly, so he goes back in time. Ends up going back to the same location Toritsuka (who’s I think is doubling as Saiki as Since he went off to stop an eruption or something on his own) has lead them=they see two Saikis. A few jokes follow and even an Osomatsu sextuplet reference.

Everyone wants an explanation and is going crazy, but Nendou says something decent for once that he doesn’t have to explain any of it if hes not ready. They all come around and a bunch of friend talk follows. Saiki then speaks for the first time and says something like “you’re all such a troublesome lot”. Nendou feels like its he first time he’s hearing it, but the others think nothing of it). He goes forward in time then and decides to put on a limiter his brother made that will erase his powers forever. Goes to school and can’t read anyone’s mind. gathers everyone to tell them about how he had powers, but sees a cockroach and gets scared, thus breaking a window. Turns but his powers aren’t actually gone. End.

 

[shoyoboyo]

That ending seems perfect to lead into the possible 4-koma. Thanks for the translation.

 

[Nemesis]

Yeah, the 4 koma will be very interesting

 

[Leoat12]

How many series are going out and how many are going in? It would make sense to make this 4-koma in reduced number of pages so that it doesn't spoil the balance.

 

[Scruffy8642]

I think that's a given. Can't think of many (if any) 4 koma that are 18 pages weekly. I'm gonna take a guess at 9 or something.

 

[Aipom626]

Bigger version

Man, I really hope that series with the gyaru is a comedy. The other 2 don't really seem like my type of series. Seems like exorcism manga is beginning to invade WSJ at full-force.

I think that's a given. Can't think of many (if any) 4 koma that are 18 pages weekly. I'm gonna take a guess at 9 or something.

Is this new Saiki 4-koma going to be a new series entirely (start at chapter 1) or continue the chapter numbering from where the original series left off? I'm curious to see if this 4-koma will stay at the back of the magazine like Lycopene or if it'll move around the TOC like everything else.

What did you guys think of Mitsukubi Condor? Im skimming through it and it looks like it had potential.
