So for you, sales have not increased?

 

[Mr.Fujimaster]

It looks like RxL will get a new cushion.
Look at this coincidence.
Yesterday I read the last volume of Nurarihyon no Mago and after finishing, I wondered when Shiibashi was going to publish something new.
I expect a good oneshot.

Am expecting noahs notes to land down near act age, seems like the type of west loves but jpn readers hate series just like act age.

 

[Doughboy]

Who else is getting axed?

The dream is dead with both Boze & ActAge...Yuuna needs anime to work out or it'll be the next Dagashi or Keijo, gone few months during or after anime is finished airing. Golf sales good but who knows if it'll survive until it can get animated.

I remember also years ago the typical children who enter in 4chan to look cool and crying about BC hate.
Right now or they grown up ,try to shitpost about the series or are people of this forum.

Is there anyone who likes both My Hero and BC? Or is a one or the other type of thing? At this point I'll just figure that Black Clover is going to be controversial no matter who brings it up. Its anime hasn't helped with the first episodes being really uncomfortable to watch and hard to take in. Crunchyroll has the most rosy viewers and subscribers when it comes to mainstream anime (which is mainly how it's supposed to be) but you see it getting some of the lowest ratings with over 700 people voting at 3.2 out of 5 stars. You have fans like Koi Kage who can't even state their opinion without feeling insecure and putting in bold words that they're not dissing My Hero. You have the comparisons to Naruto, FT, Bleach, OP or any shonen when it comes to the story, but I've seen more backlash at the flaws of BC more than any other battle series which is incredibly curious to me. The main cast imo isn't too magical, no pun intended, to make up for some the grievances. Lastly the sales are growing, but when compared to its contemporaries it seems lacking. Even with all this said it's no issue to be high on the series but there's just going to be multiple issues with this franchise that will turn away people from ever putting it on a pedestal. It is what it is.

I don't bold because of insecurities I'm just tired of the debet between Black Clover and MHA so I want people to see I'm not dissing MHA, and besides as I've been told my taste is shit because I like Black Clover more then I do MHA even though I read both series and find some enjoyment out of both regardless of the complaints I have for the series at the time. As an add on I' personally haven't seen anyone really point out the flaws that plague MHA, and lets be honest there are quite a few in the series but this isn't the place for that. Though I do find it funny that cruchyroll say its an average series but has trended on the US twitter quite alot sense it began airing on toonami as well as being the third highest rated show, but thats a discussion for a different thread.

Of course they exist, but we aren't talking about them because most of them aren't stupid and know how to act like an adult.

So for you, sales have not increased?

Again, work in your reading comprehension and not change the topic to one that suit your goal.

I prefer BLack Clover over heroaca. BLack Clover makes femchars feel important, makes the two lead characters constantly and consistently interact with the plot and have a healthy relationship, and leaves one feel good when asta overcomes adversity from his disability. HeroAca struggles to make femchars not feel subservient to malechars, to keep key characters from vanishing for months at a time, for glorifying unhealthy relationships, and fail from being an original experience as it copies heavily from every trope in superhero genres, and lastly the message it tells is one people cant relate too, that is a powerful guy has never given you or me a golden ticket to be at the top of the world. I prefer overcoming adversity through hard work and determination as defined by BLack Clovers asta.

In Act-Age's case it's probably more that it is in a shounen magazine, but has a lot of elements that aren't resembling a shounen manga. There probably would be lots of people in Japan who would like it, but these kind of people most likely don't read shounen jump. It just doesn't fit into the magazine similar to Horikoshi's first manga Oumagadoki Zoo.

I would take 10000 post like this that 1 post of one person crying about his favourite manga is hated.

Who said it doesn't increase?

 

[Doughboy]

Hopefully Kishi's new work will be that series everyone praises. Not gonna tolerate any slander or Naruto references. I just won't. It's all we got cause EiC is axing everything until then anyway. Noah seemed to get the most feedback among people on the forum while Ziga is pretty cool but does anyone truly believe any of these 3 will survive. I've fallen into despair.

It is not so ?

 

[Drmke]

Noah's and Ziga are also low , they don't look promising and they aren't ranking yet.

Low placement while unranked is virtually meaningless. As we get closer to the "8-week" mark, then low placement starts to be more significant.

Does anyone else think this cover is kind of lack luster for the 900th chapter?

Oumagadoki Zoo is the weirdest series to use for this kind of comparison. It was just a quirky battle manga.
