Mashle is at 3rd consecutive good ranking. Japanese knew their taste of gag manga that's why i felt like reading Beelzebub and how i missed this type of comedy. What a time to be alive!

 

[pamuchi]

What happened to the rest of gaidens? I remember at the end of the Giyuu chapter, it said there would be more. Its been a year already since then. I know Boozebeats author is busy with that Fate manga, I guess he will retake after he finishes?

 

[BX-02BLODIA]

I have to say Gotouge. This panel especially is very weird and askes some tough philosophical questions that can screw with your head

Spoiler: Spoilers

What? That's nothing compared to this. It's obvious that this is the philosophical apex of Jump right here. Makes you question everything about life in general.

regarding a hypothetical comedy slice of life manga from wani:

while i am a big fan of the comedic and slice of life moments in the manga, i think they work so well because of their contrast with the darker, action packed battle arcs. they act as a much needed relief from the heavier content. especially since many of the characters are usually serious, stoic types (which makes sense considering the premise of the story), so seeing them in fun lighthearted situations make them much more likable. im not sure if a full comedy slice of life series from wani would be as enjoyable, especially since it won't have the characters from kny that we already know and love, but i wouldn't particularly mind if they went that route.

personally, i would much prefer to see wani stick around with the kny verse for a while because there's so much more that could be done with the characters. i still firmly believe the series is ending too soon. i think wani should do some miniseries or spinoff's about some of the pillars. or they could do some 4-koma stuff and maybe have that as the dedicated back of the magazine slot lol. maybe even more stuff set in the kimetsu gakuen verse. those special 4-koma wani drew a few times were pretty cute and funny.

if they went with a new series, i would really like to see a spokon, or even another battle manga like fantasy adventure. something where wani's fun character writing can really shine through.

Agreed. I think the comedy in Kimetsu works in the same way the comedy in the likes of Danganronpa and Your Turn To Die; the simple human interactions create a brutal contrast when juxtaposed against the moments of genuine suffering and tragedy. Just because Gotoge writes funny moments doesn't instantly make them suited to doing a full on comedy.

 

[Neala897]

The whole talk about Kimetsu art gives the same vibe as "Odas artstyle is for the children" Check first chapters of soul eater for really bad beginning art

 

[aneekl]

Judging Fujimoto from an interview, all I can say is he's humble when talking about others and goes full weirdo about himself.

 

[Thundercat27]

When will Mashle volume 1 be released? June?

 

[Rain Spectre]

When will Mashle volume 1 be released? June?

Yes.

 

[yadayada]

with this and Attack on Titan it makes you wonder how many series/authors got rejected and the author gave up that could have been huge hits

I just imagined AoT's art with a weekly schedule. Holy shit, Isayama getting rejected might just have been a good thing ngl.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

We need more authors who upload sketches in their Twitter like Hori. He's the only one doing that, isn't he?

 

[Koni]

The only one in Jump, methinks. Unless some of the newbies are doing it. As for other magazines, Hiro Mashima frequently posts sketches on his Twitter. I think Osamu Nishi does as well, though I have to check.

[MrDropCombo]

Btw thanks for your answers to my question guys.

I do think a slice of life manga would work well but also wouldn’t mind another action series. If a new series is done in future, he/she makes really likeable characters so whatever the genre i hope the characters are a big focus

I also read the speedscan of the latest Chainsaw Man chapter, and I'm convinced Fujimoto is on some really powerful drugs, lol.

Seriously, I can't recall a Jump series with such outright bizarre imagery. It's like an acid trip at certain points.

While we're on the subject, what other WSJ series would you all say was just outright weird with the imagery/art?

Jojo for sure, loads of meta moments

Huh? Sharkbait is gone?

 

[101nemesis]

Not sure I agree. Early on it definitely had a very lazy feel to it. Like, yeah, it was unique, but I'm not sure unique is necessarily good in this case.

The art definitely got a lot better, though.

I went back to the early chapters and rechecked and I still don't see the issue with it. It's very unique and was detailed where it needed to be. But I guess that's just me.

 

[Magister Xehanort]

I like Kimetsu but I always thought the art was bad and most battles are boring, most of the time the action and the battles starts in the manga I get bored

I guess technically not Jump but Endo posts a new drawing for every Spy x Family chapter https://twitter.com/_tatsuyaendo_

and not related to TPN but Posuka posts drawings everyday https://twitter.com/DemizuPosuka
