WHOA

That, uh, took quite a left turn.

Seriously, what the everlasting fuck makes you think either of those things!?

Also, Stone doesn't sell badly, what are you talking about.

Well, Dr stone doesn't sell better or as well; Boku no hero, Black clover, kimetsu no yaiba, TPN, kaisen jujutsu, Act age and One piece even with the success of the anime.
It is not a manga that deserves a better rank than kaisen jujutsu and Act age.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

What new poll question would you guys like to see?

"When do you think we are getting Jujutsu Kaisen anime news?"

 

[Ctkk]

I'm gonna make a prediction. Cover for #20 will be MHA to announce season 5 of the anime. Then #21 will be JJK with anime info.

Has this been done for the previous seasons? I don't recall this ever happened.

I still don't get how this works. So UxU got 95 voters or 95 points in total? Did it got a lot of 3rd places (red) or 1 point or whatever or do the colors stand for something else?

In any case, seems like the tendencies are similar to our own here, Zipman down, UxU up and so on.

It's the green oval logo, also the graphics are trademark CyberConnect2.

It's crazy Undead unluck ended up being really popular I remember when a lot of people hated the first chapter and thought this manga was going to get axed

 

[Stivie]

You still continue to value twitter votes a lot, even though you see that Mashle is positioned better than Undead unluck.

 

[tirakai]

Undead's first chapter wasn't hated, the preview image and oneshot were hated. Once it released the general reaction I saw was more that it was pretty good but really hurt by the groping. People were unsure how to feel rather than not liking it.

People here disliked what they saw because of the blatant normalization of various forms of sexual assault in the early chapters. I've not followed it since chapter 3(I think), so don't really know how it is after that. I doubt Japanese care too much since normalizing such shit has always been something common there.

Just to be clear of my stance on UxU - UxU can have the best setting in the world and can be the next 1 million seller for all I care. Still doesn't take away the backward ass normalization of sexual assault.

That said, if people enjoy it because of the other elements in it like story, setting etc, good for them.
