Shouldn't it be a stick coming out of it rather than a hole

Still dont think there has been a bad series from Zero Sum...maybe if this gets tons of chapters it can even get an anime, as an anime for a series involving time travel and infinite lives happenings is actually pretty compelling. I think moving the antagonist to chp two could have worked better for the sake of suspense but it was still achieved by that which transpired in the closing paths. What I like most was the close friendship, then denial of it, then going back to it revealing that he still truly does want to be friends with Gin, so it made it pretty entertaining and kind of touching to be his motivation for living.

Wow how did Cross Manage chart but World Trigger v1 didnt. Oh well, I can only hope World Trigger makes a huge resurgence once the other volumes come down and it builds in popularity that way. Maybe it can get to Saiki Kusuo no Sainan level...
And my favorite yaoi manga too... Mousou Electal and Hakkenden.

Dang that sucks that World Trigger didnt chart. At least it is out of the bottom of Jump along with Soul Catchers.
Nice to see AssClass still high.
Well, I think we'll have to wait for them to get anime adaptations. (though AssClass could outsell Bleach this year)

Shokugeki no Soma has surpassed Nisekoi/Haikyuu?
I think Soma has yes (but not by much).
Kamisama no inai nichiyoubi 1-8
That was pretty much how I felt at that point. It doesn't really explain much of anything.

Better than I thought it would be but not the greatest thing ever. If it's a comedy I didn't laugh much. With only 10 chapters I might as well read it.

Komomo Confiserie 1-2
New series about a a spoiled tsundere princess and her patisserie servant and how after ten years, there is a role reversal where he becomes her sadistic boss and she's his useless hired hand. Really like the premise of Natsu (the boy) being a "know your place" devil type of character instead of being secretly in love with her (although this is shoujo so it's bound to go that route) and that after Komomo learns Natsu's true colors, she wants to one up him in the most humiliating way possible.

Jigokuren: Love in Hell end
This had the potential to be something super special, but it ended way too soon
Still, it was fun while it lasted. First "slice of after-life" series I've read. Gotta keep an eye on that sub-genre.

That's some battle cry.
Well I guess that's pretty cool that the protag is actually useful in a fight.

Hmm I thought this was after the first week has passed. My mistake, though with the current chapters I wouldn't be surprised to see a drop in sales. :b

In my opinion, Assassination Classroom does not have the flexibility of the Naruto/Bleach's universe for its plot/story to go anywhere far outside its main premise. Hell, I think it's much more suffocating than Bleach in that regards, and I think Bleach's universe is pretty limiting as it is.
So while the sales are good right now, I highly doubt Assassination Classroom will have the same longevity as the likes of Naruto or Bleach.
I want to read this but I dislike the art style.
Actually, I can think of plenty of ways for Assassination Classroom to expand beyond the titular room.
We've established Korosensei was once human, and we know his "brother" also has tentacles. It's very likely there's more things like them out there. It could easily expand into a battle manga where Class E fights the other tentacle monster things. All using the skills they're best at.

Well, whatever the possibility is gonna be, I sincerely hope that the author gets on it rather quickly because, amusing Koro-Sensei shenanigans aside, the story so far is so formulaic it hurts.
But I guess he won't be bothered to do anything and keep churning out the samey stuff every chapter so long as the sales are good.
It went from Kiss x Sis to Useless Meat in two chapters, impressive. Totally shameless and pandery.
Will keep reading.
Don't hold your breath. Naruto has been shit for a long time now (overall, the war has been horrid and has gone on far too long) and it's still sellin gangbusters.

Any good Korean webtoon to recommend? Tower of God is fantastic.

Dr. Frost and Kiss Wood.
They're pretty different from tower of god though.
For something similar probably noblesse.

People want it to become a battle manga? I think it would lose its edge and appeal..unless thats what the final arc would end up being tournament style or something in the 200's when the manga will wrap.
Dont really understand the longevity thing people mention, isnt the manga first and foremost constrained by the one year time limit, unless he would really just throw that plot point out the door for some strange reason...

I showed my girlfriend this and she thought Ichigo was from Fruits Basket.

Thanks.
I know about Noblesse, but reading it for a bit I am honestly put off by the "very handsome/intelligent/perfect main character" trope it purports. Unless I am remembering a different story. I just can't stand this trope personally (one of the reasons I absolutely abhor Prince of Tennis)
Well, that's another reason why IMO calling Assassination Classroom the next Naruto/Bleach is a bit silly. The setup itself just don't make it possible to stretch the whole plot to the extent of Naruto/Bleach's universe allow each of them to do so, respectively.
Which is why now the story basically goes nowhere in Assassination Classroom and the plot is nothing more than just reused material chapter per chapter.

Yup, that's noblesse, though the main character can be a little goofy, which might make things bad or worse for you.
If you want to read something that doesn't support that trope then definitely read kiss wood.

I'll just leave the plot summary here:
It's too bad more chapters aren't getting translated. :[
But I gotta say this is very interesting.
