Yeah, seems to really respect Serling. I’ll definitely be checking out the chapters that have been scanlated.
Do you mean ones I've read? Since there's a wikipedia list of all WSJ manga, it'd be easy to pick something completely unknown from there.
Mainly that but also can mean series that caught your eye/wish to read.
I think that's the gist of it. And maybe something about making panel montages for the winners. Or fans put them together as well? Not sure.
I've always wanted to check out 'Gakuen Jōbōbu H.I.P.' But it only ran for three volumes in 1986 so probably won't be able to read it
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. I posted my pre-made video/ranking to Twitter, and the official Jump Plus account liked my tweet, so there's that I guess, lol.
Maybe not obscure in Japan, but Barefoot Gen is a series I think the majority don’t know it came from Jump. Watched the movie first before I read the manga.
God, this has a lot of room for choices. Temptation would be something like Manga Drifters, that ran for years, but is a pain to look up because of a certain, more contemporary manga called Drifters.
I have googled "Manga Drifters" too since it was a popular manga from what I remember and it grabbed my attention, it ran for some years IIRC. But yeah, same as you I couldn't find that manga or any illustrations, could you find anything about it?
I agreed.
Very little. A couple of images that make it seem like a Japanese equivalent to the sorta strips you’d see in like VIZ (the UK one, not the media company) or MAD, and that’s about it. George Horvath at Land of Obscusion found... pretty much the same stuff, when doing their history of Jump stuff: http://landofobscusion.blogspot.com/2016/01/the-bronze-age-of-jump-part-1-breaking.html?m=1
I think this current saga will be 8 more volumes at least and I still think we'll get one last 11 volume saga after that. Although this is probably what Tabata wants so who knows how it'll actually go.
