If that's what Jump thinks is suitable for transferring from Giga.... Disgraceful

I really hope Noah's notes and jujutsu gets better ranking, same for Act age and Robot...
About the new series they say nothing to me at the moment, and it's not the genre of manga I hope serialized again, after we can't study and mononofu that was published some year ago but didn't had succes.
I hope these new series can be a good cushion for Act age, Noah's and Jujutsu,too
Bad rank for Soma, but i don't worry because it sells very well, while I'm a little worried about Yuragi and Robot, and hope they don't get rushed soon

I like all 3 of Ziga, Jujutsu kaisen, and Noahs Notes. I think they're all alot better than the stuff we've been getting probably since the 6 serialization round. Personally pulling for Jujutsu kaisen but I wouldnt care either way what survives and what doesnt. Cant get too attached to any new series in Jump

 

[Nemesis]

Good to know that Japan still has men of culture with good taste

Fumino is high so that's good

 

[Aipom626]

Hopefully Ziga can become a cushion for Act-Age and Noah's Notes. Jujutsu could then follow in Ziga's footsteps and become the new cushion, followed by Robot if need be. Are the Giga chapters of both of the new series anywhere online?

Another BC chapter were half of the art is just sketches. At this rate he'll have to redo half the volume containing the chapters.

It is not the first time he does it, look at volume 11.

In any case, errors are almost always correct in volume, fortunately.

As usual you complain in the wrong places, if you want to talk about the manga there are the appropriate topic.

I think I agree with that, Demon Plan looking back at it was pretty bad cause it did some of the same things Juju did that made me cringe. I liked Golem Hearts and Boze but it was blitzing through everything or was doing too much shit at once to capture me. Noah Notes is Dr. Stone 2.0 to me, the appeal lies somewhere with the exposition and gyaru but outside of that I don't see it. It's not terrible though. I'm pulling for Act Age and Ziga but I have to admit I'm not THAT into Act Age lol. Everyone on this thread loves this one, the girl mc? Un-Jumplike? The art? The world may never know but better than hating all the time.

Random thoughts I'm having about two new mangas:

-Shogi: for some reason, shogi has never worked in Shonen Jump. Aesthetics (and title) remind me a lot to Sangatsu no Lion, but dunno. Just found chapter 4 raw from GIGA and art is meh. Plot about this manga should be known since it has already been published last year in Giga, but didn't find anything. Anyways, I'm getting axe vibes from this, dunno.
-Romcom: That pic reminded me to Toradora. Dunno about the plot, and at first glance is one boy - one girl relationship instead one boy - tons of girls. Still, BokuBen is already the Jump romcom of current age, so I think it will be also axed. Survival will depend of it battling against... Act-tage.

Jujutsu isn't still in a pretty bad position despite being 10th this week. Let's see what happens to Ziga in 2 weeks.

Main disadvantage for newbies is that almost all Jump is already consolidated (BokuBen and RxL are already consolidated titles). So for all newbies starting with Act-tage, they rely of one of consolidated titles to end soon.

Saiki ended some weeks ago. Gintama seems isn't going to end soon (I see it getting 40-50 more chapters at least). I still think Shokugeki is going to surprise us very soon with an announcement of it ending. That will be the chance for 1 newbie to get one ''main spot''.

Well, it looks like Act-Age might survive for a while longer, but I still don't think it will surpass the 100 chapters. It might become the next Samon-kun or Spring Weapon.

Jujutsu probably has no chance of survival. I looked at the raws of the newest chapters, they certainly looked a little interesting, but imo interesting visuals alone aren't enough to make a manga good. Especially if it takes 7-8 chapters for the visuals to get interesting.

Ziga died for me after the most recent reveal, because that reveal was way too early into the story, I believe. I'm not even sure if I like that twist at all. It's just that they just casually revealed the greatest mystery of the manga 5 chapters in. It definitely started off interesting, but to me this goes into the category of "good potential, bad execution".

Noah's Notes still looks ok, although I can't really comment that much without reading the translated chapters. It looks interesting, but I feel like Ikezawa definitely needs to introduce a few more interesting characters asap.

Last Noah's Notes chapter ended with

Spoiler

introduction of a chinese paleontologist professor from that Arc group

EDIT: How in Earth there is no info in internet about Momiji no Kisetsu plot? Only managed to found raw of chapter 4 lol

Hikaru no go had a big success

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Hikaru no go had a big success

Yeah. Meanwhile, shogi had no success in Jump.

 

[ShenGao]

The formula for a successful shogi manga is easy.

1. Hire a professional ****** artist as your manga artist
2. Have him strip every character who loses a match
3. Make the matches 80% of the time look like fantasy battles and just 20% of the time like actual shogi matches
4. Shove in a romance story right at the start and make it the main focus of the story
5. Uncensored nipples in the tankobon version

Next 300k seller after 5 volumes right here.

Go and Shogi are two different games

Ikezawa shogi manga had a very cute gyar---girl. Still, got axed.

PD:


Ok, now I dunno if that's a romcom or the Saiki substitute that Jump needed lol

Hire Yabuki once he is done with the Darling manga adaptation!

 

[Tamil]

The difference lies in the fact that Soma is way past its peak while MHA has probably not reached its peak yet.

It's kinda sad that when you think about, Soma's peak is the Autumn Election Arc. That's like around volume 12? That arc isn't that incredible compared to other shonen peak arcs. It's been slightly declining since that arc for me then took a steep decline with the central saga. I can't see how it can possibly recover from this.

Also, the anime of Soma reached it's peak with season 1 lol, season 2 was abysmal and currently season 3 is following in season 2's footsteps of being a stale adaptation. MHA's anime on the other hand, has been getting better since season 1. Season 2 was amazing and I heard a lot of promising things about S3. The difference between these two series is night and day

I wonder how Soma does in digital sales since that could very well explain why it's surviving.

That's too savage, take my like.

Oh, I remember the liquid alien one. Not sure how it'll work as a full series, but given it's about a cute boy who's constantly melting out of his clothes I'm sure it'll be the Next Big Thing™.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Well they've definitely already got Sharkbait's attention.
