Dude, you're just passionate for this site and everyone who does their part in making sure people can enjoy manga. So I totally understand where you're coming from! If anything, I came off a little strong too so I'm sorry lol
No, here in Brazil is the same, most series with deleted chapters and no access to Viz.
I've always assumed that was the case. If I'm wrong though, that does make me reconsider my stance.
Dammit, great interview, There's so many interesting points that I don't know what to go. I mean, considering that Shiro is 21, wasn't she picked when she had 19-17? And she did fanarts before? And both Usazaki and the editor knew her? Also nice that they even recognize how much Shiro evolved from chapter 1 to later on, it's impressive how she did, even more when now we know that she wasn't a mangaka before but was discovered and then trained to be one. Really shows how much talent that girl has.
Uzuzaki's pixiv is still up if you look for it. She did some Samon fanart.
Can you link it?
So mangastream isn't completely dead.
MS is dead. They deleted their site and Twitter. JB is the one that isn't completely dead, as far as we know.
Lmao, I would agree with you if Viz translation of Kaguya aren't completely trash.
I mean, it is kind of true. I didn’t read it cause I thought it’d be immediate axe fodder. I’m genuinely surprised that it’s managed to survive and build up an extremely dedicated fanbase. I really like that more diverse titles seem to be making their mark in Jump in recent years.
Well, rip chi no wadachi then.
It's funny because years ago, like between 2012 ~ 2014 the talk in many places were about how "diverse" Shonen Jump was becoming and that battle shounens were facing a crisis, this because between 2012 to 2014, Jump was struggling a lot to get a new battle shounen (WT were just a mild success and the rest a bunch of flops) while you had Nisekoi, Haikyuu, Ansatsu, Souma, Saiki, Isobe, also Kuroko no Basket becoming a giant success, all of them being the new "Jump Generation" and none of them were a battle shounen, only after BNHA started the genre came back at full force in the magazine.
I know it's true, nothing similar ever was there. It's kind of a Bakuman, Death Note and Neverland situation My point is that even with that said, I still see people saying that the manga is a battle shonen. Which tbh, it's a term that I already dislike when battle manga is a better and the real term anyway.

These "pixiv" mangas have the tendency of being too "casual" for Shonen Jump, they could just publish the mangas like they are but i doubt most of them would survive on Jump (excluding OPM)
Most of the series I follow look pretty nice. I wish Yuuna could've been over by Rena Haze (and Yuko) so we could've seen her reaction to everyone seeing a spirit. I am a bit bummed out though that Makima was used instead of Power.
I'm so glad Act-Age struck a chord with the readers and managed to become successful. I'm hoping that Mitama can have a similar growth trajectory as Act-Age. In some ways, both of these series gave me the same feelings at the beginnings of their serializations. It took a couple chapters for each of them to become interesting, but they pulled themselves together really quickly, expanded their casts nicely, and are really able to weave between comedy and serious developments quite well.So much happening today wtf.
So:
-Color pages everywhere
-Awesome Jujutsu Kaisen color page
-Neverland and Shokugeki dates
-Act-age interview
I dunno if Mangani or Raf have already posted this:
Shiro did some supremely awesome World Trigger (apparently her fave?) fanarts before she went pro and also some great My Hero stuff. It's really a shame that she nuked her pixiv after going pro, but I guess that's rather common practice (thankfully I saved some faves by coincidence before all that happened~...).
It's really cool seeing characters from the top Jump+ manga (SxF, Jigokuraku, World's End Harem) essentially be as prominent in this poster as some of Weekly Shonen Jump's heavy hitters. Also, goddamnit, what manga is the girl with the skull eyes at the bottom from? That caught my attention and I remember seeing her before.Jump Festa 2020 Poster
