I can assure what is Iconic for me is certainly not Iconic for you.

That's literally the opposite of what iconic means.

What about Momiji no Kisetsu reaction?

After Google Translating some 5ch and Twitter stuff, it definitely gets more comments than Invade You. It seems like its being decently received. Honestly, I found quite a few comments just talking about shogi, go, and chess in general that don't seem to have much to do with Momiji in particular lol. As someone who relies on Google Translate, I'm probably missing some stuff, but it's good enough to get a general idea of what the comments say. Although their faith in either surviving questionable, I've seen more doubt for Invade You than Momiji. People are wondering if Invade You will stick with gag comedy or try to be an ecchi comedy. I saw someone mention E-Robot lol

Also, does anyone know where I can find the oneshots for the 2 upcoming new series online?

Iconic refers to somthing that's a classic and influential. MHA is nowhere near with the likes of Dragon Ball, One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter, Slam Dunk etc in terms of influence they've had in its demographic. I don't get why this even a topic.

Too early to really speak on influence. We won't really see if it has a lot of influence until maybe at least 5 years or so.

But i think it'll definitely be remembered as one of the best Shonens running during it's era, just like the series you mentioned were known as the best during their era.

JJBA is iconic...so let me ask, who's hype for this part 5 announcement (special announcement) in the summer? (*fingers crossed*)

Oh, it has positive feedback?

If I recall well, we should be getting their first ranking in 2 weeks. Or 3 weeks. Don't remember now.

Thank you! After looking at those, I'd say my hype for Alice to Taiyou is probably about a 7.5 or 8 out of 10. The other one with the insanely long name is probably at about a 6 out of 10. Seemed like quite a bit of action, but it seemed to have a largely comedic feel to it when the business suit dude was involved. It's kind of hard to tell what exactly the series is about though.

Alice and Taiyou is basically discount Runway de Waratte with music

That's enough to sell me on it lol. I love Runway, so even if this ends up being a musical discounted version as you put it, I think that still means it has the potential to be pretty great.

Well, I wouldn't call it a massively positive support from everyone. I guess I would say it's satisfying a niche interest right now. I'd be really surprised if its first ranked chapter is in the top 5. I'd consider a realistically good first ranking for this chapter to be basically what Act-Age, Jujutsu, and Noah's Notes got for their first rankings. I also don't think it'll rank last its first ranked chapter like Golem Hearts did. Invade You, on the other hand, I could sadly see getting a very low first ranking, unless they cut it some slack like they did with Spring Weapon.

Oh I was expecting another Rohan ova to be announced, no way they wont do more after the one releasing this summer.

Wait, wasn't the Sakamoto manga a comedy about a businessman who wanted to become a mangaka? That looked like a Sir Eyenight from MHA spinoff with tons of action.

I'm pretty sure the idol manga is going to be quickly axed, but the Sakamoto manga has a lot of potential.

 

[WyldViolet]

Jujutsu Kaisen is fucking sick.

Textbook example of why Black Clover's problems aren't because it's generic, but because it's poorly written and has no thought put into the world or characters.

There is nothing in Jujutsu I haven't seen in another manga many times. It reads like a combination of so many different battle seres. Despite that you can tell the mangaka is personally invested with what he's created. It's his passion.

Very excited this series is doing well.
Noah's Notes is still better though...

I've been hearing good things about Jujutsu left and right. I'm going to read some more of it, since it seems to be a lot safer from being axed. The first three chapters didn't leave a strong impression on me, but my favorite part was always the art. Hopefully I'll be charmed by the latest chapters. I also liked Noah's Notes better, but maybe that will change after I read more Jujutsu Kaisen.

There's a lot of charm.
Personally I think the character designs are the weakest part and what initially turned me away, but the writing, atmosphere, and panel work are all very up my alley.
The fights are pretty good too. Also can be hella funny.

That's what I thought the business guy manga was supposedly about too. Perhaps the dialogue presents things in a different light than merely what the images are showing. I did see him pull out an ink pen at some point and some business cards I think, so who knows lol. I liked the idol manga. It did kind of remind me of Runway de Waratte except with more punk characters instead of extremely well-dressed, high-class side characters lol. Not sure how something like this will fare in Jump, but if they can figure out some kind of way to make the scenes fell battle-ish like Act-Age or Runway did, then it may have a chance to last for awhile.

I think that's how most people, including Japanese readers, felt about the very beginning of Jujutsu. It looks like it was the chapters in this batch that was just released in English that appear to have hooked them. I don't really like the art for the humans, but it does make the monsters seem really creepy and scary, so I guess it works pretty well for this genre. Hopefully Noah's Notes can get itself together and pull through, but I think Japanese readers are still a bit upset about the whole alleged tracing and design copying things, so that may have an adverse effect on it....

I still don’t particularly like it. It is cool no doubt, and I really like the dynamic that’s been created with Sukuna, but the character’s are just so poorly developed and boring, even for something of this length. What even is character? It feels like literally none of them have any charm apart from the freaking Kyuubi equivalent lol. I can see how it could become quite good, but the author really needs to pick up his character writing. It’s quite frustrating actually, seeing cool developments happening but everything is just so bland it’s hard to care.

I appreciate the author going in depth with the power system. For whatever reason that seems to be a lost thing when it comes to recent battle shonen. Also I liked the internal conflict of Megumis and Itadoris character. The series is definitely dope, I can see why its pretty well received. It's def the best battle shonen since Kimetsu no Yaiba

 

[savethecat]

I actually enjoyed the first chapter of Jujutsu, unlike everyone else. But you guys convinced me to binge read it
