Surely this'll just mean there'll be two different tiers to access more/less manga, and not referring to currencies, right?... Right?

Definitely doesn't look like a coin system at least, so I'm relieved regardless.

2$ is pretty worth it to me at least. Depending on what it gives.

There’s a lot of overlap between Manga Plus and Shonen Jump, I wonder how that will shake out.

Yeah, that's my biggest issue with a subscription for Manga Plus, no matter how cheap it is.

a lot of good stuff that was originally published in japanese jump plus, big ones for me being dandandan, marriagetoxin, and you and I are polar opposites, though I also like service wars, oshi no ko, shibatarian, me and my gangster neighbour, and red cat ramen

For me. Demon Lord Exchange, Shibatarian, and Yumeochi are all Manga Plus and nowhere else. Ayakashi Triangle as well, but that’s done.

Not sure I’d pay a subscription for just those 3.

cool, I remember discovering that the site had some more mature themes manga when I went to go read the chapter of chainsaw man part 1 that is missing on the app and I ended up reading fire punch via the sj site, but I let my subscription lapse a while ago when it went from a buck a month to three and have been using mangaplus exciusively since. any other site-only manga worth mentioning?

Make the Exorcist Fall in Live also seems popular. The main stuff I'm reading there is Magilumiere, Handsome Must Die, Sachi's Records, Blooming Love, Skeleton Double, and Gangster Neighbor. I do also use it for Dandadan because Viz has issues putting stuff in their app.

I know there's been cancelled or complete stuff I read there too like Summertime Render and Soloist in a Cage, just don't have a full list in mind.

I could see maybe being interested in reading some of the backlogs but my big thing is that almost all my reading is done on the phone app these days so if it has the same weird "we don't allow 'adult' material, please ignore all the actual adult material we allow" stuff it doesn't really add much.

Yeah, if their subscriptions include Jump stuff, I'm almost certainly moving over. We'll see what they announce.

I had a thought, MP and SJ are both owned by Shueisha. So it seems weird that that they would offer two different subscription services that offer the same books.

What if this $2 subscription is exclusively for MP originals, and the $5 subscription is an MP+SJ bundle?

The Manga+ app also just seems to load pictures faster than SJ for me, so I tend to read new chapters on Manga+ when they drop.

MP has any of the other more violent stuff, but it also has nearly (NEARLY) everything that SJ has for regular updates.

SJ has One Punch Man which aaa is the only reason I still have it. Why is it not on MP???

This sounds quite reasonable to me depending on how they differentiate the two.

New Kinnikuman anime coming next year:

It seems to be an adaption of the Perfect Origin arc and Production IG will be handling it rather than Toei

Look, you have to put your energy into a single feature on each character and in this case it's the bows.

Yeah I'll take slightly off proportioned but cartoony over over-designed Gil any day. The art was about the only thing I liked about PPPPPP by the end, so I'm glad to see them get another chance with something else that looks like it'll fit their style well.

I just read 3 chapters of Diasporaiser on MangaPlus.

What the gently caress is this

Synopsis of early chapter 1:

Young boy overhears some local burnouts planning to rob an old man. Goes to warn old man, discovers the old man is a lunatic who goes on about how he's been protecting the earth from magic-using alien Cosmic Sorcerers for decades. Using his shotgun.

Then it kinda just goes insane and it's got a LOT of dialogue.

Part of me is like "this isn't really good" but also part of me wants to know where it's going?

I really like it so far. It kinda hit the ground running and has yet to really stop. I think I read something about Dandadan's editor working on it, and it kinda has some of that same energy.

The old man being a deranged gremlin who goes into magic battles with machete and shotgun is like 90% of the appeal. And tbh, that's enough for now.

i really appreciate the concept of shifting full body tattoos. that way, it becomes a texture to apply as needed and not a static design that must be drawn accurately each time.
