edit: Gintama added

Either way, this is a very odd TOC.

What the heck sort of TOC is this everything is wierd. One Piece,To-Love and maybe Gintama are about the only placings that make sense.

I'm thinking April Fools. But has Reborn gotten less crap recently? I might consider reading it again if this a real TOC.

Seriously though D. Gray Man hasn't been bad especially the most recent chapters, its been rated way low lately though.

 

[Kaiten]

Ever since the break she took in 2006, DGM has always been in the middle or back of the magazine. Tis nothing worth worrying over. Reborn is a bit higher then usual but it's been in almost every top five recently. With Naruto and Toriko getting color it's not that big a surprise it rose to number two. Kuroko, Psyren, and Sket are all a surprise, but not April fools prank levels.

removed the two non ranks from it.

to be honest all that matters is that bakumans not doing bad and sket dance and psyren are high. in fact just the last two. they actually NEED good toc results

 

[Koen]

Well I hope this isn't a belated april fool but psyren is slightly getting higher and more consitent in the positions. I hope this will happen more in the future but it's obvious sket dance and psyren are the two manga that had the danger zone sickness for for a long time but they both got a decent grip on the ToC, fans and their votings

 

[Maxy Barnard]

despite the months between the two series psyren and sket dance have essentially become a pairing, sticking close together most of the time, and seem to share a fanbase...

*imagines a crossover*

 

[StrangerAtaru]

I think in a way, Psyren and Sket probably have finally caught on or gotten big enough for a bit of a fanbase to help it along. That combined with other series starting to fall apart and just time in general have helped them finally get to this point...now all we need is a "big announcement" for Sket this summer and we'll know it's for real.

BTW: I know most of you probably missed it, but check out the beginning of my translation from yesterday...particularly if you want to see a certain lazy policeman from the beginning:

[Rejuvenation]

Wow, Reborn at number 2 even beating out Bleach eh? XD

Kuroko rounding out the Top 5 is good for it. Psyren, Sket Dance, and Bakuman sitting nicely in the middle is cool with me. A shame that Mago and Bokke can't be a bit higher. *Keeps waiting for Hoop Men to cover for them*

I really do wonder what Jump plans to do about the bottom. It has pretty much been To Love, Eyeshield, and DGM in the last 3 spots for a bit. I wonder if they will hold out until Neuro/Eyeshield can end along with killing Hoop Men.

God, I think this is one of the few times I actually don't want HunterXHunter coming back. XD

 

[Magicoreo]

Well, I expect Bleach to get a higher rank in the TOC in a few weeks.
I mean the last 2 chapters were pretty damn good!
As for Reborn, well, I already knew it'd get a high rating, I mean it's getting pretty good IMO.

Oh man! Bakuman (PC) next issue? I totally have to get that issue.

This is a bit late but wow, page colors for Sket Dance keeps getting better!

 

[Maxy Barnard]

a higher rank than #3?

and to me they just dictated how bleach's writing is arse backwards, believing the only way to approach anything is to make people stronger or unlock a new transformation or upgrade or something. if the voters had any common sense it'd drop to the middle at least.

and reborn's chapter last week kinda got the hang of itself again i must admit, and even managed to make the premise of a training arc acceptable, so whilst it doesn't deserve position #2, in about 8 weeks it would finally deserve a top 5 position again

 

[Koen]

Hmmm... Does somebody know where I can find that strange link with a database with the series and their ToC position and ratings

Well thank you T.D.A. but I am talking about that odd japanese site with the series and it's average position between brackets, etc

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

Oh crap then I don't know what you're talking about.

 

[Koen]

Oh crap then I don't know what you're talking about.

Well it has been posted over here. Given the many pages, given the fact I don't know the user or the site, I am too lazy to skip through all pages

So I hope someone knows it... but still thank you

 

[Mr. Prince]

Do you mean the graph thing like this (for Mago) or a general ToC database like jump.heavy or pretty.ne.jp?
(Or some other thing I currently can't think of...? xD")
