Its good but I dont feel it can carry a weekly just because of how Jump operates. But theyve done the hardest part, which is stick their foot in the door in the world of shonen jump.

Good, about exactly what you'd want out of a one shot but like... Did the photographer look way too much like Inspector Gadget?

https://twitter.com/DarylSurat/status/1295359491496710150?s=20 very cool shueisha ensures act-age is no longer available to read via legal means, and the illegal means leave you with truly awful scanlations for about 20% of the series

They don't want anyone to read it in any form, or to talk about it or remember that it was ever published. Edit: Like, you won't be able to read it in Japan either. This has absolutely nothing to do with scanslations.

that'll really suck for the artist if she can't produce another successful manga. heck, it sucks for her now because that's cutting her income. full on guilt by association, really.

I guess the Shueisha people could have honestly considered the Act-Age guy's offenses much more serious, but it hard not to suspect that part of the calculus was that Act-Age isn't the cash cow Kenshin is.

Sometimes I forget how good Ju Jutsu Kaisen is and then I go back and re-read older chapters and remember how good it is. The arc where Itadori is presumed dead but is secretly getting training from Nanami that culminates with Itadori and Nanami fighting the soul guy is really good.

Not sure where else to post about this so I figure this thread is as good as any. I just finished reading through Saint Seiya (+ watching the Netflix show, out of curiosity) and I really enjoyed it. A friend kept recommending it and/or referencing parts of it as he went on a months long mission to read and watch every version of it he could find and everything he talked about sounded like the stupidest bullshit but when I actually sat down to read it and got past the incredibly shaky first few arcs it's really fantastic. I even liked the Poseidon arc, despite the initial premise coming off like Fist of the North Star's second half where the author just recycled a bunch of the same characters and plot beats, but by the end of it Poseidon was pretty cool, and that was where Kurumada's art really hit its stride I think. Then the Hades arc was just incredible start to finish. I also really liked the Netflix show. I don't generally like CG anime but that's usually because it's used poorly. When they use an art style that actually supports the technology instead of trying to badly mimic 2D animation, it can work really well, and I like Netflix Seiya's art style a lot. It has some issues, for sure. I'm not a fan of the name changes for the Bronzes, the stupid military subplot is dumb (though I guess that's kind of a loose adaptation of some filler from the anime?), and the scene direction and fights is pretty weak in season 1, though that improves in s2. I hope the stupid fanboy outrage over making Shun a girl doesn't dissuade them from continuing because I really want to see their version of the Twelve Palaces arc.

Anyways, I had finished watching Dark recently and been craving more mysteries on mysteries like Made in the Abyss (but without the gross factor) and it scratches that itch well.

We're starting the obligatory training arc in Kemono Jihen, mixing some Dragonball with some Battle Tendency and in Kabane's case some UQ Holder. That kid continues to be a horrifyingly pure and straightforward.

That kid continues to be a horrifyingly pure and straightforward. Oh this is some really great stuff. Just finished chapter 14 and the splash page for 15's great.  Kabane's obilviousness is just the best  Edit: Uh, ok. That next arc was... unpleasant. Not a bad read, and it makes sense to do for that kind of yokai but still  Edit2 (Caught up): Ah...Ah yeah, I do remember there was some kafuffle over that murder guy getting off with being castrated a while back.

Brought To You By posted:New chapter of Kaiju 8. The punch is real good, as are his PWEASE DON'T TELL ANYBODY moments, but ehh I'm not holding high hopes for it. Her fainting could easily lead to "oh, i had a weird dream that he transformed into a monster!" write off, but even if it doesn't do that I could see it instead just being tsundere bratty girl who totally hates the protag but he saved her so she's gotta keep his secret under wraps, she definitely doesn't like him or anything!! Either way he's managed to mostly not be spotted going monster mode, so the status quo still isn't getting really shaken up, and it was already heading in a fairly generic action shonen direction.

I'm still liking that series just because it's novel to have an adult in his 30s as the protagonist (and I also like the art so far).

i'm fond of how his every movement is so detailed and grotesque in monster form. unfortunately, the kamen rider adjacent concept and excellent monster art are kind of let down by otherwise lackluster writing.
