What's with the full reprint of HxH? I can understand Bleach getting one because of the live action movie, but HxH doesn't have any upcoming projects. Does this normally happen every once in a while?

Celebrating 20 years of hiatuses? Maybe there is a project, but we don't know about it.

The viz cover.

It's probably just volume 36 being released earlier than we expected.

I thought that on Viz's cover, without Hinata, they would put Deku next to Luffy. LOL

Well Viz gonna be "late" as usual

 

[SharkBait]

dont think we need a massive embed to tell us that, not like they can publish it way before jpn.

 

[jagman1x3]

You may want to rethink your definition of "late."

So Build King had a lot of potential. The Toriko vibe was strong, and they set it up in a way that I can see how it could become a full fledged series. MC was quite cute too, which was nice considering his ugly design. Definitely the best of the veteran one shots so far (though the rest have all sucked), with some good ideas.

Build King felt a bit too kiddie. I like kiddie series when their fun but this was not fun so it came off as dull. Needs more plot refinement and modernized character designs and settings to be worthwhile to follow.

The initial house joke and blushing felt inappropriate.

 

[xAsum0x]

Alright, Jujutsu kaisen chapter 8 looks like it's best yet. I can definitely get behind it now. Hoping for another good ranking

Build King was great. I loved the puffer whales and bounties easter eggs. I'm guessing if the series gets picked up, two-by-four will get renovations that facilitate his increase in power level.

 

[TyVip]

Build King was meh, just because it has too much Toriko vibe. I dislike authors who reuse the formula.

 

[Caiops]

So, it looks like Black Clover is more important to Shonen Jump now than Boku no Hero.

The new member of the Big 3.

I think its alright to reuse it if it was like a failed manga, but when it is reusing something from one of their successful ones, then yes i agree.

Is the dream of Kenshin remake alive once again?

I would say that it is. It was never dead.

The decision to put Soma to the front instead of Deku was done by Viz though and not by Shueisha. So I don't think it really matters.

Plus, I think you are forgetting that Luffy is dressed in Deku's clothes and only look at Asta being dressed in Luffy's clothes. I think the former one is actually at least as big since more people will look at Luffy than at Asta.

I don't have anything against Black Clover as I've been reading it since chapter 1. But I doubt Shounen Jump puts one of them over the other. If I remember right, Deku usually was at the front with Luffy and Hinata before, most of the time. But now there's one time where Asta is in front of him and you take this one time as Shueisha officially putting BC over BnHA?

I don't think one being in front of the other matters in any way. Putting Asta in Luffy's outfit and at the front is a nice and easy way for them to promote the manga for more people to buy the volumes.

 

[Franz]

The choice left me somewhat puzzled too, but considering that Asta has appeared dressed as Luffy and Luffy from Izuku ...

 

[De La Croissant]

The only way to end the shitposting would be to put Deku as Hinata, Luffy as Deku, Hinata as Luffy. In other words: Asta ruined everything. LOLOLOL
