Haikyuu is effectively Jump's ES21.

Oh man, in a Weekly Shonen Jump without Naruto, Toriko & Bleach the three biggest draws become:

One Piece
Haikyuu
My Hero Academia

with World Trigger slowly cementing its place as the Naruto & Bleach hybrid that less popular than either.

The cynical part of me thinks that Shueisha only let Naruto & Bleach end because MHA & Haikyuu are doing so well...

World trigger has less in common with naruto or bleach then any other shounen on the market.

With it's hiatus due to the mangka poor health early on it was never in a position to be the next megaton.dissipate it's anime airing 6:30am in the damn morning it was a success and got second season quickly green lit then run of chapters to adapt.

Last year it sold 2,735,269 it's pretty much a mid tier success along with boku no hero which sold less at 2,190,845.

Boku no hero was pushed pretty hard with a funimation deal and it's anime airing in the same time slot as (Fma brotherhood,magi,blue exorcist) it 's tv rating tanked but it did push manga sells.

Shueisha needs assassination classroom, haikyuu and kingdom level successes(6+ million sellers)

Black clover looks like a pretty easy sell,it has the most chance to become a heavy hitter(only read the first chapter lol).

And so much that managed to do for them.

It might have managed to be a successful series had Toei not botched up the anime*, but at the end of the day, Toriko never became the hit that it was pushed out to be.

So not much of a loss with it and Bleach out of the magazine. More room for new things to start and established series to grow.

*something that Torkio and World Trigger now share, sadly. Then again, World Trigger is a step away from going into hiatus so it never had a shot at being mega popular.

World Trigger is pretty bad, though I still read and like it. :D

I guess, but its pretty obvious students like Yoshino are significantly less good than Soma and Co. are. Tadokoro's already filling the slot of Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass.

I Am a Hero 231

There's no way Hiromi will use since she has a bigger role to play.
Though it does cement Hiromi as a murder for killing Oda.

Really not sure where the story is going with this.

Dare I hope Mari being attacked leads to Meiko reverting?

Chairman's Bizarre Adventure continues to be the best storyline here.

Zero Communication, I Didn't Talk to Anyone Again Today. For better or worse, I'm not sure I'll ever get used to the gender disparity in this manga.

A more unscrupulous guy would take advantage of senpai right now, but I have faith in assistant-kun to do the right thing. Naturally the right thing is to [continued next chapter]

A perfect girl who's a capital S and a perfect guy who's a capital M discover each-other's fetishes. Wacky comedy hijinks will doubtlessly ensue, and will probably culminate in the pair deciding to lead a fulfilling, abuse-centred life together. Until then, I'll just enjoy watching the guy get stepped on.

Gee, poor Kiyoshi. Such ingratitude.

Anyone ever used the Japanese version of Bookwalker?
I'd like to re-read Eyeshield 21 in Japanese so I was wondering if you can actually purchase and read stuff on your tablet even if you're not in Japan.

Edit : seems like you can! Oh yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis

Tales of Demons and Gods 1-84 (Manga)
Tales of Demons and Gods 1-362 (Web Novel)


Synopsis:

Guy gets reincarnated after losing everything and vows to beat the enemy that beat him.

Why I like it:

It has cultivating, jokes, and martial arts violence. Imagine of Pokemon could merge with people.

The manga is currently at chapter 51 of the web novel so math says it should take over 560 chapters for the manga to catch up to the web novel.

Ah crap, didn't know only the first 3 volumes of LoGH were licensed.

I got the first 2 (although second is pre-order) and will get the third (whenever it releases). But I'm afraid sales will be bad because it ain't weeb enough for the philistines

Well that took an unexpected turn from the previous chapter.

I bet this new guy would get along well with Shima though.

Not sure how I feel with the MC's first girlfriend. I guess she makes a valid point of feeling hurt of what the guy said in highschool but they were 14-15 years old.

Wait, what? World Trigger is clearly drawing on early Naruto & Bleach for inspiration, especially when it comes to establishing the supporting cast. Not to say that those are the only manga with large rosters, just that WT is definitely using similar means of expansion.

Tales of Demons and Gods is pretty fun.

You should give I Shall Seal the Heavens a try, it's by far the best immortal cultivation webnovel I've read. By far.
Currently 777 chapters translated and it's completed at 1613.

And Douluo Dalu as well. It's somewhat similiar to TDG in that they are born with spirits (classified as either tool spirits or beast spritits, where tool spirits are summoned and used and beast spirits transform the body) and the main character is reincarnated from a different world where he was damn powerful already and uses this knowledge in the new world.
It also focuses on team battles after a while (and they are amazing, with how different abilities work together and lots of strategies and everything), but main character is of course powerful on his own, and it also has a very good supporting cast.
227 of 336 chapters translated, but every chapter is at least 3 times as long as the usual webnovel chapter.

is immortal cultivation NG+ as a genre or the cultivation of immortals?
Click to expand...

It's a genre where folks cultivate/train to reach immortality. Hundreds of years passing and everything is pretty normal (that's why most of them suck hard when it comes to sidecharacters).
I Shall Seal the Heavens doesn't have reincarnation btw in case that was confusing. It's about a young scholar who basically gets kidnapped into a sect. And it does have amazing worldbuilding and great sidecharacters.

And Douluo Dalu has reincarnation but it's not about immortality lol.
