Shonen Jump unveiled their international manga competition finalists. 6 of them selected out of manga from the entire world. The best of the best. I entered as well, but my chances were pretty slim since mine was barely shonen or manga (and can be read here).

DrSunshine posted:I read your entry and it was really good (though definitely had 0% chance of winning the contest!), you should link it to folks in the Making Comics thread. +1 reader from me! Thank you very much. I'm actually halfway through a different comic called Penultimate Quest right now. So I should probably get that up there. New Hobart's kind of a maybe story that I'll pitch around, but it's good to hear a positive reception for it. I ended up voting for the WW2 Vampire comic as well, although small surprise that he (spoiler) lets the dude soldier die and the chick with the tits live forever as a vampire. In fact what was that story even about? Really good comicing though, the spread of him coming out of the coffin is real good. Oh, I'm going to link Fat Naruto again while I'm here.

RatHat posted:World Trigger is so good. It's hard sometimes keeping track of all the characters though. Also the author's poor health is a bummer. I'd been reading the recent chapters without context and wasn't really into it (that disinterested puckered lip face that everyone makes!) but I picked up the first couple volumes and started to enjoy it. It's nice that the main character is a useless milktoast and is overshadowed by alien Naruto and childhood friend sniper girl.

Magi should be remembered as better than a lot of its contemporary Shounen manga. http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Magi/Night-349?id=367470 This is a good conclusion to the fights. Much better than a harder punch. Now there's probably only a few chapters left?

They also talk about G bra sizes which is... less of a thing in America I believe? So the joke is kind of strained for grades and bras. Maybe if they changed that and also gave the characters English names. Ah, so much simpler.

Jujutsu has a fairly good premise but boring execution. It felt like less interesting and less cool early Bleach.

Allarion posted:There's still the issue of community scans releasing chapters a week early which they can't really work around but that's really only an issue with the bigger more popular series Two big problems left to solve 1) theres a high profit still in pirating manga 2) theres still a need for those who cant access the SJ app or site Being in the US this is a good time for me to stop reading scans and then rereading on the app, but I cant hold it against others that this doesnt benefit.

Seven Deadly Sins got a bit worn out for a bit but this end portion is knocking it out of the park... Well as long as it doesn't go too much longer imo.

dogsicle posted:the art has a sort of retro vibe esp. in the main character design, and it's rough in ways that make me think of gyagu manga biyori, which is a good association. Yozakura's notion on how genetics worked turned me right off. The girl is totally normal and passes on the special genes because she's normal so everyone wants to kill her. Weird.

Dawgstar posted:What got my atention on Fairy Tail in the first place was reading an interview with Mashima in that anime/manga magazine Wizard used to put out and he said his favorite character was Erza which felt pretty rare for a shonen battle guy to say his favorite character was a woman. I got into Fairy Tail when Jason Thompson asked me if I had read it. Later I found out that Mashima had written Jason into the series as the journalist that pops up a few times.

Dexo posted:just looked at the raw, and lmao yeah, aint no loving way they publishing that lol Apparently Apple was a big reason, although I haven't checked recently is Manga Plus actually on the Apple or Google stores? Looking around the internet and I see people saying that Viz should surrender the license if they can't handle the heat but lol Viz is owned by Shuiesha my dudes.

I Love Annie May posted:Surprising how Viz still keeps the rights of a series they have no intention of releasing to the public. Really makes you wonder a lot. Shueisha owns Viz, so any editorial decision is reflective of the entire chain. I've seen elsewhere the guess is that Apple is the lynchpin, as in they won't allow Shueisha to have their apps on the Apple store with that type of material. Maybe they hoped the author would abstain, or maybe they'll sell those chapters in print with a plastic wrapper (isn't that what they basically do for their own material in Japan?). All in all if you think about it it isn't that surprising.

chiasaur11 posted:That's not the weird thing. The weird thing is that Ayashimon's sales were much, much better than projected, and they didn't even give it a second volume to see if that was a fluke before bringing down the axe. loving sucks, but also I could honestly imagine this artist being hampered by being in Jump when Jump+ probably suits them better. On top of that I think a lot was made out of the elements that were present so far, but on the other hand I don't think Ayashimon had that much room to grow and develop. It is possible to get a good amount into making a story and realize there's just not many places for it to go after all.

Indiana_Krom posted:I often call One Piece "The Textbook Shounen", it is really good but also never anything other than a Shounen Manga.  This one scene where Luffy puts his hat on Katakuri's mouth is so excellent. It is a quiet acknowledgement, not flashy and a simple continuation of his character that he will cover up what his enemies wish covered for literally no reason then it falls outside of what they are fighting about. Naruto's friendship no jutsu comes close but it was all very loud and very much the point of a fight or conflict. But did Goku do anything like this?

Last Celebration posted:The SJ app is probably my biggest value subscription for media period, it’s honestly almost too good of a price for what it offers. I wish the app let you read M rated stuff like Fire Punch and Dandadan since the mobile Viz website kinda sucks but it’s still like $2! I read their M stuff on the Manga Plus app. Its mildly grating to use two apps bit the option is there. I think it is limited to one read per chapter since it is free. Besides Dandadan theres some good newer stuff like Skeleton Double and Ghostbuster Osamu.

Shinji2015 posted:My only critique of Skeleton Double so far is that the invisibility gimmick seems pretty pointless atm. It feels like maybe it'd have been better suited to being the MC's or Yamamoto's Unique Blood ability It hasnt been utilized much but when MC runs out of juice and his opponent turns invisible was pretty cool.

Balache404 posted:Only partially. 25/33 volumes were officially released in English between '05-'09. That sucks so bad. I remember Jason Thompson telling me in 2008 that because Shueisha owned a large portion of Viz that they would print the whole series. I remember he had copies of it in Japanese at his apartment (his House of 1000 Manga). Sorry buddy : <

muscles like this! posted:The other series is pretty good. It is about a bunch of condemned criminals along with their executioners being sent to explore a mysterious island to look for an elixir of immortality. Whoever gets it first receives a pardon. Except the island is full of monsters. Can confirm that first episode is great. Quickly establishes main character as history's strongest wife guy. Comic is well worth it, the art is spectacular.

Elite posted:Unjustice was trying hard on the 99th cycle saying that she had finally assembled a good team and they had a chance. Except the Union didn’t really feel that strong, it felt like Uncover was actually stronger if you discount undead + unluck (and it also felt like Uncover was largely thrown together outside of the core ~3). And Unjustice’s rules meant that Unavoid and Unchange died kind of pointlessly in order to give their seats to Undead+Unluck when Unchange and Unavoid were some of the Union’s strongest members. Even when they’re limited to 12 seats for missions they could’ve still had some sideliners around (which is what Fuuko does and seems to work much better). Fuuko does benefit from experience whereas after a certain amount of time I could imagine Unjustice just kind of becoming resigned to fate. Fuuko is literally going balls to the wall speed run all glitch 100% completion. Godspeed her.

Grumble bugs feel a little underwhelming but it's also a great ghost punch set up at the same time. Art is tight, styles open enough that people look fairly unique. I'm ready to see where it goes.

Absum posted:Being available outside the US and Canada. 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??? Alacron posted: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. This sounds quite reasonable to me depending on how they differentiate the two.
