Well I'm very excited about the Mago color even if it didn't get an awesome cover...and Reborn and Kuroko are still too high for my taste but I guess that's just how it is.

Kuroko no Baset
Akaboshi
Kagijin
Jaguar

LOL.
Also, did anyone else find it funny that the typo in Kuroko's name made it seem like "basement"? :P

Still too high ^^ lol just not a fan of it and don't really like the story.

And even though I don't really like it, I still read it and expect it to be around for at least 7 volumes. Though there is a decent chance it will manage to last longer.

As said, Kuroko is here to stay, for a long long time. It's tankobon sales continue to increase. Total sales for volume 2 were higher then volume 7 of Psyren. I don't like the series either but no amount of bashing in this thread will make Kuroko go away.

Last time it had color pages Bakuman lost the cover to Naruto. This week makes up for it. Shame it came at the expense Mago but at least it retained front color.

If there's any justice in this world, Mago will steal Bleach's next cover.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

lmao! That would be hilarious. Toriko did that earlier this year, remember? It lost a cover to Naruto, the next week swiped one from Bleach

Cool that Reborn! and Gintama are so high <3

Toriko, however, should be a bit higher :I

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Toriko (based on the chapter) was at a sort of "between arcs" mini arc. But realized with so much being unranked in this issue, it's 9th. If you don't count Wajimania which is just barely ranked, it's the 9th chapter, it's one higher. Though yeah, should be higher anyway.

Here's the list of actual rank, BTW. (If I remember all the rules right)

1. One Piece
2. Naruto
3. Bleach
4. Gintama
5. Reborn
6. Wajima
7. Ane Dokî
8. Inumaru Dashi
9. Toriko
10. Medaka Box
11. Psyren
12. Sket Dance
13. Kuroko no Baset
14. Akaboshi
15. Kagijin

COVER WSJ #43

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

It's awesome how the cover looks like panels from a manga! Even cooler is the fact that Beelzebub, Mago and Kochikame are also featured in the panels!

 

[Kaiten]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Very cool. The panel work leaves a little to be desired, not a fan of small crowded panels

Obata's art is great so is this cover.

 

[Drmke]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Very nice cover. One of my recent favs.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Is that Near in one of the panels? Im pretty sure he is there.

 

[kewl0210]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

That's Fukuda...

And yeah, it's a really cool idea for a cover.

Wow, did anyone hear of this?

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...ologizes-for-sket-dance-helium-inhaling-scene

Shueisha posted an apology for Sket Dance. Seems odd since other events depicted in their publsihed manga have actually led to people dying (Naruto, sand suffocating) while nothing has come from this to issue such a thing. Though, this scene seems to be easier and more realistic to imitate. If people are curious, the questionable scene is the first page of chapter 105.

Has Shueisha ever posted an apology about anything?

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

I saw that, pretty wild. While I'm sure there are dangers associated with helium inhalation many a child has sucked on a balloon and lived to tell. While such irresponsible activity may result in a squeaky voice, this is only temporary, speech will most likely return to normal in a twenty to forty seconds.

My god Shueisha, they just inhaled helium. Get over it >.<

 

[Drmke]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

A lot of people probably complained to them and they felt an apology would shut them up.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

They say forums were outraged. That begs the question, what the heck kind of forum gets angry over this? (While I do understand that it is Japan, still)

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Its weird that with all the stuff kids watch over there (violence, language, tentacle monster sex ) helium is where the Japanese people draw the line lol
