I liked Junior, the art was pop like. It has a brazillian portuguese specialist to help with Japanese brazillian protagonist.

Is Yuuenchi - Baki Gaiden the novel series being run in the magazine, or is it the same as Baki Gaiden Scar Face? I noticed I haven't seen Baki Gaiden Scar Face in the last few TOCs you posted, and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't confusing anything in the TOC charts that I update every week. With Kaida-san turning out to be a miniseries and the addition of this novel thing, WSC has been a bit difficult to properly record lately lol

Is it just me in thinking that some of the scenes from the Baki PV has CG in it?.

Yuenchi - Baki Gaiden is the novel series, Baki Gaiden Scar Face is something else and it went on hiatus after issue 24, i forgot to point it out but thats why it left the toc.

Ok that makes sense. I'm a bit surprised it went on hiatus so soon after starting. Thanks for the quick response!

The one from the previous issue gathered some decent attention. It was quite ecchi but the fetish aspect of it is probably what made it get attention.

I just saw that oneshot on 4chan and someone translated it... that was some insanely blatant foot fetish stuff... That was super weird to read through. However, it seems like at the very least, the author's Twitter account apparently gained about 10 times the followers that it initially had (about 1.4K to over 14K after the oneshot's publication). WSC's oneshots for 2018 as a whole have been better in my opinion than the couple I was able to find last year, but that might just be my personal bias since there have been more romcom ones in 2018

The more Beastars grows, the more I think of an inevitable anime. But I don't know how the fuck that's going to pan out. If only Rokudou and Iruma-kun grew more... They're both charming and they deserve more love. I wonder how Shuukan Shounen Hachi will do when the first volumes go on sale, I like it so far.

These are literally my 4 favorite things in the magazine right now. The Vampire Dies in No TIme and Atsumare are both good as well. I'd love it if Iruma and especially Rokudou really exploded with popularity. Rokudou is "the power of friendship" done right. Plus, it's shockingly-rare to see a high school MC's male protagonists actually contribute meaningful content to the series consistently and actually be competent characters. Colonel and Kachou are always pleasant to see, and Ranna is amazing.

Yup, The Vampire Dies in No TIme and Atsumare are also good. I really hope all of these grow somehow. Funny how the delinquent magazine has the most charming manga from the weekly magazines.

Yeah, the lineup for their romcoms has been really strong lately, and the chapters are incredibly heartfelt. I love how you even get to gain a deeper understanding of the villains' characters in Rokudou and Beastars without it seeming forced.

The last couple of one-shots have been romcoms, head editor is testing the water for a possible romcom series. The ones that stood out were Osanajimi wa Zenchizennou and Ashigei Shoujo in attention.

I tip osanajimi author to be seriliazed soon but not necessarily with a series based on the one-shot. Ashigei one-shot is not much apart from 'foot service' so it would need some story.

Dokaben ending after 46 years is a big goodbye.
A new series will probably come in issue 33.

I assume Dokaben is ending for real this time, since it's had multiple continuations.

This is being advertised as Dokaben's end not just DT's end.
DT has been announced as Dokaben's last instalment since quite a while ago and the author is 79 already so he probably wants to retire from weekly serialisation. (I post the toc without Dokaben D, it has not been absent in any issue)
