[UFOCat]

An Enen no Shouboutai x Fairy Tail crossover? Is this because Enen no Shouboutai is popular, or is it that Kodansha is trying really hard to promote Enen no Shouboutai? I read here that a Manga Editor group dropped Enen no Shouboutai because they weren't liking it. I'm still kinda interested in it, but does it have as much fan-service as Soul Eater or less? I, overall, enjoyed Soul Eater, but I liked the anime more because it didn't have as much fanservice.

Wow the name sucks for this new manga but I'm kinda interested in this one and announcement for Baby Steps, well it isn't important enough to get a color page or cover so it will be either the stage play or last arc announcement.

#??:
New Series: ??? by Yoshitoki Ooima

An Enen no Shouboutai x Fairy Tail crossover?

I don't think it'll be a real crossover, mostly only a color page crossover. Specifically a talk between the mangaka and a Natsu x Shinra color page made by (probably) Atsushi Ookubo.

 

[Torca]

Ohhh, that art from Ooima new series! Hype.

 

[Deathinteresse]

Reiji Miyajima (AKB49) is coming back sooner than I ever could hoped for
YEAH!

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Yyyeeeeessss another Rugby manga! And Dr. Prisoner looks like the art is done by the mangaka of Hachi, which was a short tennis series that ran in magazine special. Thanks Oberon!

 

[Mammo]

Oh wow! Koe no Katachi mangaka!

wsm is not slowing down, they keep bringing back successful mangakas

I was really hoping she would do scifi this round. I loved those concept drawings she did.

 

[Deathinteresse]

the "significant announcement" for Baby Steps is a Live-Action Drama Adaptation

[RafaFedKilla]

I'm excited for Fullback Dan later this year. I'll cherish the two volumes it will get. I really loved Hello from two years ago, and I'm surprised he hasn't done anything since. He still tweets about Hello to this day.

 

[UFOCat]

Can someone give me a run down on the current situation of Enen no Shouboutai. Is it any good? I read up till the beginning of volume 2 does it get worse after that? I stopped reading partly through volume 2 because Ohkubo's art was just to awful to look at. I mean his inks have never really been "good", but his composition and since of design has always been spot on. However, all that disappeared once he began Enen no Shouboutai. I feel like there might be some redemption in the story telling, but from what I remember his art was just bad.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

I dropped it a little after where you did. For me, it really dropped the ball with its premise and dazzling first chapter. But it sells for WSM so unfortunately it will stick around.

 

[UFOCat]

How well is Night King selling for Kodansha? I just bought the first volume and the art is really good!

 

[Deathinteresse]

Enen no Shouboutai is the WSM equivalent to WSJs Black Clover
easy, cheap & shallow

 

[jagman1x3]

How well is Night King selling for Kodansha? I just bought the first volume and the art is really good!

I'd imagine not too well, given it was canceled last month.

 

[UFOCat]

What, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sad now.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Magazine Special is cavalcade of two volume series.
