Can I just say I'm still baffled as to why Jump is doing another shogi manga so soon after the last one sunk?
This is a magazine that replaced Light Wing (flop football manga, ended in Issue 14 of 2011) with Dois Sol (another flop football manga, started in Issue 13 of 2011)!!

To be fair, Jump was kind of in a weird position back then.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I admit that I don't understand that in 2019 we can put watermarks (especially on a cover). In addition, if the person owns the magazine, why not at least take the entire cover?
So can you tell us how he can get those early scans just for him.

I have to admit it's pretty strange to put watermarks on something that isn't created by you (the magazine itself, I don't know about the images). I know people are eager to see new stuff immediately but a little modesty in leaking wouldn't hurt in the long run haha It's not that advisable to be all too flashy when it comes to leaking stuff early. But alas that is how it goes. There will always be a new one.

How is the Kimetsu boost in comparison to BC boost?
BC boost? But serious answer. Stronger than BC but weaker on both MHA and TpN probably on the same level of MHA season 2.

But MHA and TPN were already pretty huge pre-anime, weren't they? I guess anime is a multiplier: the bigger you are, the more you grow.

Is there any recent instance of an anime boosting a series from 150K or below to 300K or above?

I think it's stupid to do it when you don't own the content of the image, I mean he hasn't created the ilustrations.

And he just block me for cleaning that watermark lol

Not a fan of the Futari no Taisei's art style nor the MC's design based on the cover. I think this will be a huge pass for me.

My theory is that he has some kind of contact with some japanese person that just take photos of the magazine

The art ne Futari no taisei seems a bit the art of guntz and code breaker, trying to emulate a more realistic tone.
I'm surprised by the change over devilyman.

Behold, the ungodly terrifying energy of Jump Force Biscuit.

No watermark on this image. QUICK, someone put a random watermark just so Internet people remember you for that tenth of a second.

I never thought they'd add Bisky as a character. It's actually pretty cool.

But MHA and TPN were already pretty huge pre-anime, weren't they? I guess anime is a multiplier: the bigger you are, the more you grow.

Not always. But it's generally a 1.5-2x multiplier. There are obviously exceptions.

Yeah, BTW, I agree. Futari no Taisei's artstyle is...unappealing. More realistic styles are perfectly, but you need a lot of talent IMO to not dip into the uncanny valley. Add in the generally uninteresting premise of shogi, and this looks dead before it even arrives.

And as already mentioned, you can not be inventing much in the sport manga.
And always the same cliché of overcoming and be as realistic as possible not to be bitch, equal to light wing or smoky b.b.
not everyone can be inazuma eleven.

We all could perfectly report his tweets since he's crediting himself as the owner of the content shown in the image when he's not, and basically that's illegal in Twitter lmfao. Would take time, but it's entirely possible lol.
