Curious question. Has any of you had this desire to draw/write manga?
I surely have, I'm such a ShonenJumptard lol... (can't draw a pickle tho.)
Other than as a hobby? Not particularly, not after reading Bakuman and hearing about the mangaka lifestyle. I could never put myself through that, it just sounds miserable.

Time Paradox Ghostwriter is promising!
Curious as to how this will progress, but as far as the first chapter goes; pretty entertaining.

Time Paradox Ghost , very cool concept. Got my interest.
Drawing manga is very difficult, specially the paneling for me. I've drawn some full pages from naruto to practice but it's something that's not for me. I like illustrations more, or draw manga covers.

Ghostwriter was very solid. I’m liking where this could potentially go. Just now hoping for it to continue to be good so that we might have a hit

Time Paradox was interesting. Overall good pacing, but I felt that the acceptance of the MC's one shot at the end was a bit too fast and easy. Decent start and I'm guessing they will form a duo in the next chapter.

Hmm..my top 5 this week...

1.Undead Unluck
2. Chainsawman
3. Time Paradox Ghostwriter
4. Mashle
5. Moriking

I don’t think I’ve posted my thoughts on the newbies. Moriking and Bone Collection both had mediocre first chapters, but I honestly like both of them from the second chapter onward. It’s too early to say, but Bone Collection might end up being the weakest of the three. I...do kind of hope it survives, though...

For this week’s chapters...
I also have a bad feeling about Mitama after this chapter. But a lot of comedies have been popping up, so if it’s not pulling its weight, I’m okay with it ending. I had to go through the same pain with David, so I’ll be alright.

I’m really rooting for Moriking. It’s definitely for younger kids but Moriking is such a great character.

I did enjoy Time Writer but I feel uncomfortable with the plagiarism, even if it wasn’t intentional. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next week.

Mitama does feel like it could be starting a final arc. I'm still hoping it makes it to its first anniversary but I don't know if it can last another 15 issues. Guardian and Agravity Boys seem like they're probably next in line for now, but once they're out Mitama's probably next unless the current new batch perform terribly.

It is still placing acceptably on the ToC though so who knows, maybe it's just attempting its first proper serious arc.

Much thanks @Buranchi for reviving the dead comment. It is still a Frankenstein Monster though, beware guys~~~

TPG: Very good first chapter, the art is great and you can connect easily with the MC due his failings and pressure he feels. In this first chapter he already hit rock bottom and was ready to quit when fate took a finger (of lightning) and gave him a Jump from 2030. Here is where the series became 0/10 and instant axe-candidate: OP ain't running in 2030! Unbelieveable! What a huge bluster! There is only so much surrealism readers can accept for a work of fiction! Just kidding, he basically read "East, into the Night" but titled as "White Knight" and with a Knight as main protagonist and not a Cyborg but basically pretty much the same but in black and white aka not colored (if you haven't read "East, into the Night", give it a go, probably not as "perfect" as this "White Knight" story but still very good and enjoyable). I like how the MC basically had made idea theft here but doesn't know that believing he only had an hallucination, I do see a problem though: He is just a regular guy with regular ideas but a very nice art style and good working manners. If he doesn't keep copying the White Knight story then there is no way he can keep thinking up where this story is supposed to go on his own. Plus according to the Butterfly Theory him publishing the White Knight ten years before it actually got released by its real creator means the future changed, so as long as he doesn't get his Jump from an alternate 2030 there are no more WK chapters for him.
Also I do a prediction here: Obviously the mangaka and the real creator, the high school girl, will work together but I think there will be a twist to it, like them finding out she will die in ten years and that her series ends unfinished. And since all her ideas are in her head and there is no way as a 17 year old girl she could just go and proclaim she was the real creator she has to use the MC to fulfill her dream of seeing her manga published as she herself wouldn't get to that because she dies in ten years.
Something like that I assume will be the jinx of it.
In any case, this one stays for a couple hundred chapters for sure.
I do have to say though I disagree with the MC's ambition: You cannot have a manga that is enjoyed by everyone, that's just not possible. And as harsh and mean as the cruel Editor was he was right with his suggestion to go for a cult first. It's not wrong to be liked by some people and it doesn't automatically mean something is "good" just because (nearly) everyone likes it. Still very curious to see him meeting the real White Knight creator and how he gonna deal with serialization.

TPN: .....'kay.

Haikyu!: Is this the "No, I am behind you." version of volleyball? XD

Moriking: OKAAAAAAAAAAA! Gotta say, the little Mantis girl showed up for one chapter and I already like her a lot. Poor girl is so rational and careful yet also sensitive and hardworking, it's a bit hard not to cheer for her after watching her get talk-crushed by Moriking. You can be a king, Oka! I believe in you!!! Man I so hope that under her arm-gloves are the blade-fangs of the Mantis, like she pulls them off and then goes like "Alita: Battleangel" into her fights! <3
It is funny though the moment I saw Oka with her hat and arm-gloves I was like "SHE IS AN INSECT (and a cute one on top)!" and lol'd at Shouko not getting it and becoming friends with her. xD
This series might not be to everyone's taste but it has a very likeable and memorable cast.^^

BC: I don't read that.

KNY: Last chapter of a insane record manga, huh? I didn't get every character in this last chapter there but it seems everyone (or nearly everyone expect poor Boar-boy/Twintails descendant) had a good "outcome". It was unusual and I honestly wouldn't have minded another 200+ chapters but this time with Tanjirou being the Demon King and Nezuko being the one to bring him down/back during the 2nd half of the series, but it was a nice feeling ending. Not everyone can end the way they want to and I am sure Croco had her thoughts as to why she ended it this way and not another way.^^

Mashle: OOoooOOOOooooOOOh! First Moriking and now Mashle, what is it with MC crushtalking their opponents into tears or outright fainting? XD I love it when a MC has no problem beating a girl too, equality means if you get onto the battlefield expect to be hit, don't use your boobs as a "get-out-of-jail"-card! Life doesn't work that way! I am a bit curious about the houses history because it seems Lang is more noble than the others?

BnHA: No, his hands are dirty and I don't care about Hawks anymore, next "drama" please. And geez who would dodge such a booty, you gey, Gumman? :P

Dr. Stone: Wow, the amis got it all, lol, american way of life, Stone Age kiddos!

BoneC: 3 chapters in I am having a hard time connecting with any of the characters presented so far. It feels random but not the crazy randomness of CSM but more the boring kind of randomness that makes you go "hm" and move on and I don't think that's good.

WNL: Wow. Hell of a kiss. Really passionate and sexy. The Uruka kiss was sweet and romantic, this one was hella more adult-like and demanding. <3

UU: Gotta admit I expect like a huge awesome Battle in Space but I did not expect Andy or better said Victor go all Saiyajin on Spoil's ass, lol. 3 doublespread, wow, just wow, crazy amount of work behind that for sure. Victor is an interesting character especially what this means for Andy wanting to die. Shen was a real beast this chapter! Both arms broken and he still protected Fuuko like a boss! Fuuko with the shounen talk but this time with no real effect (noice! :super).
Also was really surprised about the ending of this chapter. I expected this to be a showdown between Victor and Shen you know because of the 2nd promise but instead we get to see THAT? HELL YEAH! Awesome way to mass-example everyone's power and how well they work together. Very interesting that Victor said "ten in total", this guy's past must be crazy. Next week can't come fast enough, so hype, guys! <3

JjK: Uh, that is an interesting "fake memory". Wonder how that came to be...

Mitama: Lol, Hide and seek with ghosts must so look like you are playing all by your own, so sad. XDDD
That ending though.... o.o

AA: Love the SoL Kei moments, as SoL as you can get being a celebrity that is. Glad she got so many good friends at school now. And her next project looks to be interesting for sure. Topkek, this AkiraxKei gag/rumor will never die, will it? XDDD

M:YF: Okay, some new clue regarding MC's past and that's it. Next.

CSM: Denji ain't fucking around that's for sure, guy is going ballistic. Oo

AB: Juo is a fun character i like his reason why he is in for, lol. Also Chris will never live down his fame, he will be recognized everywhere in the known Galaxy. XD

GotW: Seriously? 2-3 spells and they are already done? What is this? FairyTale for the poor?

SxF: Lololololol "Daybreak", lol! Total opposite of the skilled and intelligent Twilight, gets by with just dumb luck and Twilight giving him a helping hand to keep himself safe, love it. Doubt that was the last time we saw that fella. Poor twilight gonna have a brain tumor at that rate for sure. XD
Daybreak's mission was really interesting though... I wonder what this could mean for the future of Twilight's own mission.
Damian's smile was superadorable though, a smile to protect for sure! <3

Uff, reading all the series and writing this post down sure took some time... maybe I should start ditching some series.
Also reworking it all adds to that! Thanks! :shootme

I was going to release independently but now that the Tezuka Contest has opened itself globally we (Artist & I) will hopefully see how we do there first. Thankfully the artist is Japanese American so our one-shot can be "Foreign" by origin but still in Japanese & English.

Time paradox made me look up Weekly Shonen Jump issue# 24, 2010. Onepiece is the only series from back then. But lol, Hunter × Hunter was already in Ch. 308 back then. We have had just 82 chapters since then, time flies!

For those interested, here is the ToC

  • Metallica Metalluca Ch. 1
  • One Piece Ch. 584 (Crocodile and Mr. 1 Cover Page)
  • Naruto Ch. 494
  • Katekyō Hitman Reborn! Ch. 289
  • Kuroko's Basketball Ch. 69
  • Kochikame Ch. 1648
  • Bleach Ch. 403
  • Gintama Ch. 308
  • Beelzebub Ch. 60
  • Sket Dance Ch. 137
  • Bakuman. Ch. 85
  • Medaka Box Ch. 50
  • Lock On! Ch. 12
  • Toriko Ch. 95
  • Hetappi Manga Kenkyūjo R Ch. 18
  • Inumarudashii Ch. 83
  • Nurarihyon no Mago Ch. 106
  • Hunter × Hunter Ch. 308
  • Kiben Gakuha, Yotsuya-senpai no Kaidan Ch. 11
  • Psyren Ch. 118
  • Hokenshitsu no Shinigami Ch. 34
  • Pyu to Fuku! Jaguar Ch. 422
I just noticed almost every manga on this toc can be considered a hit. Also if psyren was made today it would be in the top 10 for sure.

Now that i think about it, the week Demon Slayer Ends is probably the perfect week for a new series to premiere
That’s what I’ve been saying. If this goes well with people this can be an instant hit considering sales for this issue are propably going to be higher than usual.

Also a good week to have a CP because that way it looks like you are getting pushed to replace the series which ended in the same volume. There is no way UU will ever get that kind of popularity as KnY though. But I could see it ending before/around ch.200 as well, its pacing is crazy fast atm. Other series need way more time to get to the point where UU is at story development.

Exactly. That's why I told a few days ago that the present line-up is not as strong as It was back in 2010. It's also interesting to notice how there's only 4 series with less than 50 chapters, while today nearly half of the WSJ are newbies. Even more now with KnY and TPN ending.

But I have to agree that I was wrong about the diversity. Today Jump really is more experimental and diverse.

Yep, Ghostwriter is the next big thing. I'm so hyped for this series
