Reminder that despite not having Jump this weekend, we got a new SpyxFamily chapter

Jigokuraku too.

 

[James Rye]

Personally, I can't wait for Spy x family to reach the "longer narratives" the editor was talking about in its manga plus interview. The comedy and family moments are good enough by them self, but I can't really just get into it

The "Dog arc" was one of the longer narratives one and it was rather well done. It got set up, followed through and delivered in the end. It showed the cracks in the society Twilight has become Loid Folger as well as parts of his own and his Boss and team's past for why they are doing this job. For its adorable and funny moments SxF can be unironically dark sometimes.

Jigokuraku too.

It's plant Kaiju time bois.

Which chapter did it start and how many chapters did it last? I kinda stopped reading SXF around chapter 12/13

 

[Tamil]

More people need to read Jigokuraku dammit

 

[tirakai]

Jigokuraku's alright but it feels like the series is half infodumps about the power system (that's really not complicated enough to justify it).

 

[BX-02BLODIA]

Been looking at Yugioh stuff recently and holy shit, it got of lot of color pages once Duelist Kingdom hit.
It got color pages for chapters:
65, 71, 75, 76, 80, 82, 84, 92, 95, 100, 104
They were more spaced out beforehand and afterwards. Did Duelist Kingdom save Yugioh?

 

[James Rye]

On Ch.17 until Ch.22, just 5 chapters, but it isn't episodic like the others "one story in one chapter" chapters.

I didn't know Black Cat was being reprinted

French Manga Sales, 2019 report:

Overall growth of the manga market of 14.4% (in units). 19m volumes were sold in 2019 (16.6m in 2018). 2019 was the best year in history for the French manga market. (The fall in 2020 will be painful...)

18./00. Splatoon {3 volumes (=)} - 152,000 (+47.3%)

Note: If we counted separately DB and DBS, and Naruto and Boruto, Dragon Ball Super would be 7th (532,000 units) and Dragon Ball would be 8th (418,000 units). Naruto would be 4th with 646,000 units sold (leaving 133,000 units to Boruto).

Speaking of Boruto, since its release in 2016, the sequel has sold 403,000 units in France.

And finally, I'm reposting this (I'm not sure if it was actually posted in this thread though, but it's old news from January):

Spoiler: Best-Selling Volumes of 2019

1. Dragon Ball Super, Volume 6
2. One Piece, Volume 89
3. Dragon Ball Super, Volume 7
4. Ki & Hi, Volume 4
5. One Piece, Volume 90
6. Dragon Ball Super, Volume 8
7. One Piece, Volume 91
8. My Hero Academia, Volume 17
9. The Promised Neverland, Volume 6
10. My Hero Academia, Volume 18
11. One-Punch Man, Volume 14
12. The Promised Neverland, Volume 7
13. One Piece, Volume 92
14. My Hero Academia, Volume 1
15. One-Punch Man, Volume 15
16. My Hero Academia, Volume 19
17. The Promised Neverland, Volume 8
18. Dragon Ball Super, Volume 9
19. Naruto, Volume 1
20. My Hero Academia, Volume 20

Rank 1 and 2= 85,000 to 100,000 units
Rank 3 to 9= 70,000 to 85,000 units
Rank 10 to 20= 45,000 to 70,000 units

As a side note, the article seems to hint at a Spy x Family release for the end of the year. This would make sense: in an interview last month, an editor at Ki-oon Editions said he had failed to get the rights of the manga and that another publisher had obtained them.

@Rouk'

Please use spoiler tags for big posts like that. Thanks.

 

[tirakai]

I think One Piece just has a smaller and different fanbase among english speakers, since you don't have the huge amount of casual fans who watched it as a kid that Naruto and Bleach do.

 

[redon]

New episodes of One Piece Anime will be suspended from next week in Japan. They will start Wanokuni arc again next 26th April until all COVID-19 situation improves.

 

[OniluapL]

How is it "exempt", what does it mean, exactly? Because people criticize it less? Because the fandom praises it more? The reason for that is pretty simple: people like it more than other series and like it more intensely. If you disagree, that's fine (and actually, a lot of people have criticisms of the series), but it isn't like there's a secret agreement or anything of the sort. It's just a more well-regarded series, that's not an outlandish idea.

 

[savethecat]

The only One Piece “critique” that I hate with a passion is “Oda is a garbage artist”, which is a pretty popular argument a lot of ppl make. I can’t even fathom how anyone could ever come to that conclusion

 

[MangAniMY]

Yeah, I knew where they came from. It was a 2018 issue cover were everyone swapped roles. It just that....out of everyone.....they chose Tanjiro as Yuuna....

given that the 2 series are from the same batch, and kimetsu weren't selling like today, it is understandable why the choose yuuna

others by the way, also, remove the issue from the url for other issues, I should make a better navigation, but I'm lazy

Gege Akutami and Hitsuji Gondaira promote social distancing and staying at home with special illustrations:

 

[Rain Spectre]

It seems production on the anime themselves hasn't been suspended, just the audio recordings.

 

[Ctkk]

The three fanbases worst at taking criticism are HxH, JoJo and OP from what I've seen.

 

[Lizard_Boots]

I can't believe today is the 20th anniversary of this legendary Shonen Jump anime moment:


EDIT: Tbh this is wrong. Yu-gi-oh season 0 happened in 1998.

A promo that aired on Japanese TV for the very first episode of the YGO Duel Monsters anime. Don’t know where the hell the uploader managed to find the vision but I thought that was pretty cool. I believe there’s a TV promo for Naruto’s very first episode floating around on YouTube too.
