BTW, why didn't anyone comment on the fact that Bakuman is so ahead in this one...

Hm, I don't think that is a big surprise. That manga seems to be pretty popular

It's decently popular, yes... but beating Toriko? That's an achievement

No idea what happened to Reborn... but it could be just a fluke in the tally...

I was two blindsided by low Reborn. Bakumans position is impressive. With Toriko that makes two 2008 series in the top five.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump 2009 - Discussion & TOC Talk

I'm impressed with the way Bakuman is higher than even Toriko now...I guess people are finally catching on to this manga-based mayhem. (or maybe Obata is just destined to do great things whenever paired with Ohba...but then, Ral Grad ranked high for a while...) Reborn's rank...that's shocking too, maybe the series is starting to collapse...not everything successful remains that way. (oh and for the color Bleach page...movie-related)

Oh, and for those worrying about why Hatsukoi is there: the anime is coming, nuff said.

Oh my god....Reborn really fell. I am very glad to see Bakuman up there with Toriko. I am enjoying Bakuman very much. Sad to see Psyren down by Asklepios again. =[

Stupid Psyren -.-, lets learn how to go up and STAY up -.-.

Glad Bakuman is doing well it is my favorite new series of 08 ((Ive always been interested in the world of the mangaka and this is written in a way that teaches you while still making you care about the characters))

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump 2009 - Discussion & TOC Talk

well not suprised by reborn: I disliked the genkishi vs tsuna fight a lot. Since current positions is rated by these chapters, no wonder. Unless she did an oda

yep bakuman is really good, reasons? Well it isn't mainstream and I think everyone enjoys the story and the information

Psyren? Well not dissapointed since it can't do worse. Let's hope ageha's home system vs dholaki will get the manga higher

 

[Maxy Barnard]

well what to say, inumaru dash finally showing signs of weakness is surprising, it seemed to have had a good thing going recently in the rankings. but do i care that much? no because sket goes higher!

and my further condolences to psyren fans, it's a shame to see your beloved series continue to die. though love trouble coulda been below it if it weren't for it's colour page, for what that's worth.. but ah well you got a good wait till the next cuts

 

[Sexy Randal 105]

I still think Inumaru is continued editor love, even though no one mentions it.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

no-one mentions it cause it does move, and not only is that the case, it also middles at best.

so yeah it's not a likely fix. Toriko was more likely early on but that proved us wrong.

leaving the only permanent places as Jaguar and Kochikame (well i say permanent, it just doesn't matter where it is)

Don't forget HxH. (and at the rate it's going I wouldn't be surprised if D.Gray enters that realm soon too)

 

[Maxy Barnard]

oh i forgot to count HxH. but yeah when it's about it's not ranked either.

and you'd expect that of D gray? it's feasible, we need to wait on the indefinite hiatus before we can even think about whether that'd happen

 

[StrangerAtaru]

Considering that Hoshino takes her breaks and D.Gray remains one of the most popular series in volume sales no matter where it ranks, I am seriously starting to think it is entering that level soon enough. I can't say yet but it is starting to appear as such.

 

[Kaiten]

If D. Gray Man became permanent that would make very happy. She's certainly given a lot of latitude with her schedule already. Maybe someday DGM fans can look forward to twenty chapters a year too Hunter x Hunter can have the spring and fall, D. Gray Man can get the winter and summer.

 

[Sexy Randal 105]

I am really glad to see Mago doing so well. I really think it could be a great series. We need a few new series to stick around in the middle.

Oh, and did Sket dance have any announcement with that color page it had last issue? (I might be wrong)

Nope... it was just character popularity contest result

The new basketball manga

+ Meister

 

[Succubus]

dam Kuroko is pretty cute in dat color page!

/Shota

 

[Koen]

Well I must say I am surprised by this color page of kuroko

based on the preview pics, let's say this one didn't interest me. But yeah the color page looks one of the better I have seen in a while (of new series)

looks nice

 

[Maxy Barnard]

damn and the basketball mangas colour page ends up looking promising too ¬_¬

I can only hope that this or bokke san doesn't click with me so i don't have to root for all three newbies and be emotionally distraught when they all crash and burn

*prays to his agnostic maybe-maybe not deity/god/cosmic trousers/whatever that meister lasts a long time*

second colour page for it's looking pretty good too, but not up to the standard set by the first cover and colour pages
