    So I'm catching up on all the manga I was behind on, which is apparently since last November.

    It's honestly ridiculous how much yozakura has improved from its start, and how it manages to bridge into new arcs in a manner that feels natural despite having obvious off-ramps if the axe were to happen.

    Yozakura? You mean one of the longest running manga in the current Jump lineup? :rotate:

    Hunter x Hunter is from 1998 but doesn't really count as a currently serialized manga, I guess - I think there's been talks about how they're still looking for a way to publish it that'll work with Togashi's health issues.
    (it's a different situation from RuriDragon, which is also on hiatus due to mangaka health issues but still in the official lineup?)

    There's some really good stuff there though. Sakamoto Days reminds me of John Wick, both in excellently paced fights and just a ridiculously gonezo world of assassins.

    Akane-Banashi is no joke one of the best comics on the market right now, and if you're not reading it, you're missing out

    Of those I'm only up-to-date with One Piece, MHA, Mashle, Sakamoto Days and RuriDragon (RIP), but what I've read of Jujutsu Kaisen and The Elusive Samurai was pretty good.

    Also, of course, their online Jump Plus lineup has its own set of bangers with Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family, and IMHO Monster #8 but that one's a bit slow at the moment, Weekly Young Jump has Oshi no Ko, Ultra Jump has JoJo (Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak is really good, y'all)... Shueshia isn't exactly lacking for talent at the moment, I guess.

    Marriagetoxin is also very good. I hope it has a satisfying ending whenever it gets there, but I'm not sure how they'll do it. I'm afraid it'll end without telling us who he ends up marrying (there's only been like four candidates so far--counting tsundere water-user lady--and I still don't know who I'd like to see him end up with).

    New Frieren visual + PV.
    Madhouse will be the studio adapting the manga.
    Director of Bocchi the Rock
    Character designer of takt.op
    Composer of Violet Evergarden
    Anya’s/Vivy's VA playing Frieren

    This all makes me pretty hopeful about a good adaptation.

    Jump's lineup is dire compared to the Golden Age of Jump during the Big 3's reign.

    It seems like Ginka and Gluna is ending which is a shame but yeah nothing new these last few months seems like it will stick( though a few might lead to better stuff )

    Wait it is? Fuck I was enjoying it a lot, no wonder the last boss looking motherfucker just showed up out if nowhere and we faded out and back in to post everyone getting their shit wrecked.

    Something is deeply diseased in shonen jump. They can't let anything run more than few months unless it is a megasuperultrahit.

    This is terrible news. Gluna was a great protagonist, and the way the author depicted dynamic action was mesmerizing.

    The key to a successful Frieren adaptation will be nailing the beat pause.

    [...] better translate to DOT DOT DOT on screen. None of this just "Dot Dot" nonsense. The pregnant pauses contain so much of the humor in Frieren it's crazy.

    The problem is that Shueisha needs to realize that their audience has grown past its "traditional" definition, and their evaluation methods need to change. One would have thought that both Attack on Titan and the Editor of Death fiasco would have been wake up calls, but they seem to not be.

    This reminded me that Yozakura Quartet has been "about to enter its final arc" for like 3 years now.

    Aaand seems like it still is.

    Which hasn't stopped him from starting something new.

    ...Which is a shounen thing about people with shoe based pun-based superpowers fighting immortal evil glove demons.

    But at least it too has a hypersexual, exhibitionist nurse lady named Victor Frankenstein.

    That's enough catching up on the wild life of Suzuhito Yasuda for today.

    They need to realize their shitty poll system is harmful to creators and people outside of Japan might like a story more than their insular otaku base

    I don't think they care much about the fanbase outside of Japan.

    I read a lot of fan translated manga and people forget that something may be popular with a very small fanbase reading the manga (or through official channels with a likely larger western fanbase for things that have been licensed) in no way factors into whether or not in get cancelled by it's publisher in Japan.

    Dont get me started on Japan's fucked up pricing structures

    It's more a problem that we're seeing in Western comics and other media as well - creators pander to an insular, toxic base, arguing that "they pay the bills!" while ignoring that if they would stop pandering to the geese, there is a much larger base they could make so much more money off of.

    Oh god yes. There's a lot of marvel stuff i acutally liek, but when the demand is i need to cough up upwards of 5 USD per issue, do this multiple times a week, then hope a crossover doesnt derail whatever series i'm reading etc...

    Yeah, there's a reason i tend to only buy trades, and even then, rarely.
