Such a weird place to start, cause most of these characters werent mentioned in the catch up :/ Oh well I like the electricity guy and the copy power is interesting. But how would he have passed individual tests?

Good news. Seems like Soldier Hero will finish Sket Dance. Slowly but steadily.... only 5 chapters to go!
They're so pure.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't think they're planning to replace Fuuka in the band, unless they replace her with Fuuka2, despite the fact that it makes all the sense in the world if the band is trying to "make" it. I think Koyuki is just an unlucky childhood friend.
And its Seo, so of COURSE a famous idol is going to give up her entire career just to get a boyfriend. I mean, okay, that's not something that's out of the realm of possibility for a 15 year old girl, but still.

The catch up is prety good considering they needed to keep it brief, and there were a lot of characters you'd need to sum up if you wanted to do that as well. Also, the entrance exam was done in groups competing with one another, so he probably copied other people taking the exam in his group. That's part of why Izuku was able to pass, there were secretly rescue points as well as points for defeating enemies. Izuku got no rescue points, but he destroyed a giant trap enemy worth zero points (the idea was to avoid it) in order to save another examinee (One of the girls on his team who has basically become the main heroine. The one whose motivation was flashbacked to this chapter) which earned him a lot of rescue points
Also Kaminari's power has the most hilarious drawback, since if he discharges too much at once it essentially short circuits his brain turning him into a drooling idiot for a while
I see. Not a new trend then. I wonder if it's an inevitable consequence of their ranking system.

It's the entire point of the ranking system. Basically the competition is meant to weed out weaker series, so that the series that survive have a much higher potential to be hits. It's why Jump has so many of the most popular series
It sometimes feels like an excuse for editors to slack off though.
It's something done in all industries. Just look at Hollywood- there are tons of movies that get big budgets and die a death at the Box office- Jupiter Ascending made less than 20% of it's budget this weekend, Mortdecai went from something the studio was planning to make a franchise to out of theaters in 2 weeks, ect.
No one can predict what will stick with people

I really don't see it. I feel like it's still in any given editor's best interest that a series they're working on succeed. After all, it doesn't reflect well on the editor if all the series they edit fail.

Fun chapter with barely anything happening. I like Yuma and Midorikawa's rivalry. Someday I hope to see a fight drawn in which both are fighting again and Midorikawa triumphs.

I know. It's just that I don't find the ranking system to be the best way to measure a series' viability. Sales are generally a good enough metric. Has there ever been a WSJ series with good ratings but poor sales?
They're rather inconsistent though, with stuff like Sporting Salt getting an attempt at serialization. Feels like they're telling the readers to judge a series' potential for them.

This manga is really good. I didnt even expect that that was the person who was the one giving out the magical happy. I loved how everything just ended up coming together and in an entertaining manner even.
Im ready for the next one.

It's a full on extinction event, which is kinda stupid to do if the humans can't fight back in some meaningful way. I mean yes a couple of individuals can draw with these monsters but when the rest of your cast is useless, that's not exactly ideal.
This is kinda stupid due to how ridiculously overpowered the enemies were. This is essentially an amped up version of Attack on Titan but with time travel and killer plants.

I mean there were a few series that seemed to have potential but in the end they were axed immediately without giving them time to expand. I'm still a bit salty because of Iron Night. I'd say the Editors are a bit rash in what they choose to axe.
I mean instead of Jump pushing Toriko they should of spent that time pushing other series that had potential. 😚

I liked part 1 better than part 2.
Also I didnt think the cast was useless, I just think one of them was incredibly infuriating and annoying.

Well to be fair Toriko had good rankings when it started, with it staying in the top 5 (though knowing jump who knows how skewed Toriko's rankings were...).

So far for Terumi's targets we've had a tsundere cousin and a rich girl with a father complex. Next chapter's called A Plain Girl, but I almost sincerely doubt third girl will be anything that could be considered plain.

Kagamigami 1
I liked this. I mean it's not anything special but it seems like it'll be a decent series. Not a whole lot to say about the first chapter, the arts good and the characters are fun. I imagine it'll be monster of the week stuff for a while but that's fine with me.
Soma 105
Soma and Ryou are pretty amusing together. It seems fairly obvious that Soma and Secretary are going to have to save this restaurant from it's current state. I imagine the solution will require both of them to work together which will end with Secretary in Soma's harem.

Was excited that Soma would be globe-trotting... but not with Erina's subordinate in tow. =.=
Kamigami
This is a harmless enough series. I'm somewhat excited to see more, even though I'm not particularly a fan of shikigami stuff.
Toriko
As always, it hits all the right, ridiculous buttons. Knew the crew was way too weak to even begin tackling one of the 8 emperors.

Seraph of the End 30
I loved this Mika chapter. Hes such a good guy and I liked what he offered. To bad she wanted to not listen and kill herself :/
Oh well, seeing Mika smiling at the end was worth it. I just hope he doesnt get himself hurt or injured going there. I still wonder what he and Yu would talk about upon meeting. Who will defect?
Harsh cliffhanger, I want Yoichi to score a victory.

It didn't really make sense that she became an idol, considering she went into music in order to play in a band with Yuu in the first place. For her behavior to be consistent, she would've either had to 1. Acted like a normal person and forgotten about Yuu after a year or two of being separated and went on to become a successful idol, or 2. In the unlikely chance that she remained stuck on Yuu, she'd make sure her musical career was conducive to being together with him.
Shh it's alright. We all went there when growing up.

A kid's grandfather dies, and so he goes to his house to look through his old stuff. What he ends up finding is a magical book inhabited by a spirit, who promises to help him if he keeps it entertained, and gives it a name.

Well, there goes any hope of finding out what happens.

Oh God not a fucking copy guy, they lose even more often then data guys.
Soma 105
I expect good character interactions between Soma and Erina's Aid.
New arc seems interesting enough. Doubt it will last long.
Having Spice Guy, Dark Soma and Soma hang out makes me feel better about the result.

I don't see them actively trying to replace Fuuka either, but I could see Tama joining in at some point, even in only temporarily. I'll agree that neoFuuka has a better chance in the long term, I'd be surprised if she didn't join up at all honestly.
At this point, I imagine because she feels she lost to Fuuka and has no chance to get back in the game.
Before Fuuka got killed there wasn't really a chance for that since there was barely a band.
She didn't even know he was going to be in a band until it was already a band. And she was entrenched in her idol career (which she is throwing away anyway :lol).
Edit: Unless you mean right now.

I meant right now. I mean, if her goal is legitimately just shacking up with Yuu, that seems like the best route there. I imagine she'll show up for the battle of the bands thing.

Soma and Ryou being bestest buddies is seriously the greatest thing to happen.
Needs to forever remain this way.
And I hope against all odds.
That a miracle occurs where Hishoko doesn't join the I'm Going to Lose to Erina club.
Would rather have her gaining respect for him and becoming a wingman instead.

Oh hey, interspecies schmanging. Unexpected.
Absolutely loving how nihei is adding elements that expand his previous works, like the energy requirements for the gravitational beam emitter and the megastructure material strength. Really like how he sorta tries to keep all his stories in a somewhat cohesive patchwork megauniverse.

Should had spent less time at the arcades.
Are you looking for the Japanese volumes?
Nope. Can't read a word. I'm looking for English translations.
Learn Italian, we'll teach you
:/
Wait, Kingdom got licensed in Italy?
It has yet to get an English localization.
So apparently Viz is taking more titles, and providing free same day translations through their app. The first title is Boys over Flowers 2
http://shonenjump.viz.com/blog/posts/free-boys-over-flowers-season-2
I'm not surprised that after a few years of doing it with Jump titles they are trying it with other generas, but am surprised they are doing it for free. Wonder if they are going to grab the rights to some other shojo titles and start a second weekly/monthly digital magazine

Apparently. Those are the only translations I can find.
I'll just spend my money on finishing Shingeki no Kyōjin and Tokyo Ghoul collections then. :/
