I only hope that it isn't the official name.

Damn I’m loving this already, tho better to keep expectations under check, just hope Tamura develops this better than Hungry Marie

 

[Mammo]

Hardboiled as already mentioned is a type of crime fiction setting, it was even parodied by Gintama

 

[SeileM]

@Jovan

Please format your ToC post correctly once you read this response. Thanks.

 

[savethecat]

I wonder if the recent stand against the police will affect this new series

 

[WyldViolet]

I loved Pochikuro! So happy she's coming back. Also, not sure if it was mentioned here yet but she's Sawai's (Bobobo) wife

 

[Aeneas]

I knew I remembered seeing it on here. Thanks to vinceled.

Some random stuff I was thinking. Why is Hoshin Engi so minor? I know is important in some way (Ore Collection promo, anime reboot). But merchandising and popularity-Wide, is really minor. It isn't even so old (1996 manga which was the main backup to Kenshin in the post-DB and pre-OP era), and...

Do people here really think that CSM's plot progresses too fast without any room to breathe after we got four full chapters that completely spent their time exploring character relationships and their growth? I mean, that's hardly a new thing for the series.

Anyway, in terms of the spoilers, I imagine that it's the start of a larger saga (based on setup from two chapters ago). Going by previous arc lengths, I can see the series having at least 40-50 more chapters (assuming two more "major" arcs).

A: When I'm doing a series is when I want to draw a oneshot and when I do a oneshot is when I want to do series... is what I realized once again. That's why that now that I'm currently serialized with "Chainsawman" I want to draw a oneshot (lol). To begin with I want to get the stories I think of out into the world as much as possible so, I want to draw a lot of works to compensate for my series not being that long.

Well, there it is. I'm a little disappointed, because I vastly prefer long running series. I just hope that his feelings have changed since that interview. Hopefully the series still has several years to go and I'm just feeling paranoid. It's not like Fujimoto couldn't extend it if he wanted.

Thats all CSM does tho. It gives very limited room. Other series give you mini arcs.
CSM not giving your room to breath is not a bad thing, didnt mean it as a bad thing. Keeps you on the edge of your seat, which is the reason why I love CSM. There is no downtime and keep things rolling.

max i see is 160 chapters. Which is short and sweet

 

[Ryuusei]

Haven't posted this here for a while but I guess it's nice to take a look at it now that major series have finished. My Hero Academia has been the most stable series (that is not One Piece and, well, Agravity Boys who's been in the bottom more often than any other series) for a while now, it seems it's taking The Promised Neverland and Kimetsu no Yaiba's recurrent placements at the top share of the ToC. Haikyuu!! and Dr. Stone have also been plaing high often and these three series take the lead behind One Piece. Mashle still has a nice average, despite lower placements when compared to those of some weeks ago. There's little to comment on the rest, most of the series have fluctuated or have been mainstays in the bottom and there are plenty of newbies whose averages can't be ranked properly yet.

It won't, Japanese people don't care about that and view it as an american problem judging by news and reactions I've seen.

Anyways I really hope Niraikanai has some actual core consistent ideas this time, Hungry Marie was an utter mess right from the start.

I am also on the 150 chapter bet.
We will likely get another arc after this current one, to wrap things up.
I also would prefer for CSM to hit 250ish chapters, but atleast we gonna get another fujimoto manga afterwards

sorry but what do the coloured squares represent

sorry but what do the coloured squares represent

Red is abscence, Orange is cover and/or LCP, Yellow is second place (or first place for the ones that like the pure ranking) and pink is CP.

 

[Thundercat27]

because I vastly prefer long running series.

Joke on you, not every thing has to be dragged on till 50 volumes and turned into bloated corpses.

Also based Fujimoto, serialised and ended them just because he felt like it. Not for profit, just pure artistic expression.

 

[Ryuusei]

Mashle's official Twitter account saying the first volume got instant reprints due to strong sales. They comment that they couldn't announce it earlier because they were waiting until the reprints were ready to be shipped out. They thank everyone for reading the series and that they'll be able to buy new volumes soon.
