chiasaur11 posted:It's long enough to be terrible, but manga tend to get more than 10 chapters even if they're disasters. Chagecha is the only series to be cancelled after just one volume in recent years. Most of the time, they get at least two. It’s had 28 chapters. I’m not sure why people are so baffled.

the only tangible measure of success we could see, volume sales, was strong so it does seem weird to just close up on it when by all accounts it was doing fine (without the sort of promotion other series are enjoying). unless like people are theorizing this is a shift to jump+, but i'd rather not get my hopes up.

Im gonna find the book and revive that series. As for Seer, maybe its being pushed out so an older big name mangaka can take its place?

Alright, I finally started reading Phantom Seer to find out what's so bad/good about it. From the first few chapters, three things stand out:
In general, not especially good, but not especially bad either.

Is Witch Watch about to turn into a harem manga?

Silver2195 posted:Is it even really going to be a comedy? This chapter was definitely a romcom, but it also seems to be setting up battle manga elements for future storylines (Ogre Qigong, the impending danger). If it doesn't get cancelled early, it will probably end up making the same Cerebus Syndrome shift as Reborn or Negima. Silver2195 posted:The last page looks like a set-up for the inevitable transition to battle manga... Lol, called it. Rigged Death Trap posted:Big harem of gay boys with 0 romantic interest in the main girl Yeah, the "romance" here has been pretty one-sided, hasn't it? The tengu guy might actually like the main girl, though.

Electric Phantasm posted:Someone posted some rankings a few pages back and High School Family is apparently pretty popular. I believe was consistently near the end of the ToC before somehow moving to fifth place (not counting manga with color pages, etc.) last week. It's #9 of 15 this week: https://www.reddit.com/r/MangaRanking/comments/mfb7by/weekly_shonen_jump_ranking_17_march_29_2021/ Also, I just read all of Phantom Seer. They did indeed introduce an organization of humanoid villains. This also explains the "entering its final phase" thing, since defeating the leader of the organization is the main character's primary goal, and in the most recent chapter the good guys are on the brink of defeating one of the 5 other members.

Electric Phantasm posted:Someone posted some rankings a few pages back and High School Family is apparently pretty popular. Even aside from that (Shonen Jump's rankings have a lot of factors other than raw popularity, which can make it tough to assess from the outside) it's a short gag manga by a veteran, so it has a ton of factors that let it survive longer with low sales. Doesn't hurt that Shonen Jump has had a lot of flops and finales lately, so something doing just middling can last much longer than it would under more cutthroat circumstances. (Like Agravity Boys managing a whole year).

High School Family owns. I hope Witch Watch is popular, it's really good and the art is great.

Magu was cute again. Elusive Samurai. This arc has been really good. Me and Roboco was pretty funny. I like Roboco's manga aspirations. Sakamoto was awesome and promises a good chapter next week. Liking this a lot. I wonder if this assassin will join the group. Witch Watch. Love it. It's simple and funny. I wonder if it's going to lean more heavily in harem, battle or gag. There's no way this series isn't going to go for Miko thinking it's a harem manga. Mashle Chapter itself wasn't as good, but Next chapter's going to be peak stupid right? Nine Dragons: It's playing everything so straight. I wonder if Tsurugi will be allowed to talk at all anymore post joining. I do love how he has a completely different build from the others and this new guy looks stupid. Undead Unluck What happened to the art? The first few pages looked dreadful, or was that just me?

Sakamoto Days continues to be super fun. A really upbeat action-comedy, where every member of the cast is a lovable dork.

Yeah I was kinda lukewarm on Sakamoto for the first couple chapters but it's really found its groove and I'm enjoying it a ton lately. I was a little worried that Magu-chan would try to get too serious with the third pillar character, but I am so down for a straight-man getting added to the mix.

Good enough that people have been wondering if it'll be serialized since it came out, especially since it's gotten more promotions than most one shots in Jump, and it fills some niches that have been less focused on lately. Curious if the serialization will start like the one shot, or if they'll draw things out a little more.

In other news, the Eden’s Zero anime started today. Seems alright so far Incidentally, is there a decent (or better yet, legal) source where I can read the manga from? The site I currently use is a bit delayed when it comes to uploading new chapters.

Crunchyroll has the chapters. You can also get them from Comixology. They come out on Tuesdays, late afternoon or evening depending on your time zone.

Looking at it, chapters are subscription only. I thought latest chapter was free but that may have been awhile ago.

I want to say Eden's Zero got JCStaff and the cuts they used in the initial trailers didn't fill me with confidence.

Apparently the Eden’s Zero episode that I found was a pre-airing of the first two episodes that somebody ripped and subbed. The show doesn’t officially start until the 11th.

While Edens Zero is on crunchyroll (to get it on your phone you need to download the crunchyroll manga app), it only offers chapter 1 then skips to chapter 33. Also worth checking out is Shangri-La Frontier and Four Knights of the Apocalypse (a sequel to the Seven Deadly Sins manga); they release updated chapters late on Wednesdays. For some strange reason they have the Planet With manga but it ends a whole arc before the anime for some reason (also on crunchyroll)

That's because the Planet With manga is still ongoing. It started about the same time as the anime, and is in a monthly magazine, so the anime finished before the manga was really going.
