Is anyone else weirded out by the fact that a Naoki Urasawa character was just introduced in Nanatsu no Taizai?

No. King is drawn completely in Urasawa's very distinctive style, which doesn't really match any of the other characters. Also, why the hell would you waste time with Nanatsu no Taizai if you haven't read any of Urasawa's magnificent completed(!) mangas?

Datenshi Gakuen Debipara is a manga with an incredibly generic premise. However, it is actually a comedy and not a shounen fighting manga like the description would suggest. It is actually hilarious, even. http://mangafox.me/manga/datenshi_gakuen_debipara/

cisneros posted:Does Shonen Jump own cancelled mangas? I've heard of some mangas changing magazines, but never Shonen Jump ones. SJ doesn't seem to ever cancel mangas that are sufficiently popular. Anything insufficiently popular probably doesn't get picked up elsewhere.

Eyeshield 21. Good jokes, wonderful art (Murata!), consistent character development. Has a pretty lovely final arc and a bit of awkward racism against black people. Also, Adachi Mitsuru has like a dozen different completed sports manga, mostly baseball. Edit: I hate PoT because of how insufferably smug the main character is. I don't get angry easily, but that prick really pisses me off. gimme the GOD DAMN candy fucked around with this message at 23:56 on May 16, 2013 |

I don't really care about sports, so sports manga which are crammed completely full of nothing but detailed depictions of playing a sport bore me to tears. Slam Dunk literally put me to sleep.

Dexo posted:Ippo is pretty loving awesome. It will never hit the highs of Takamura vs Hawk again. But It's still an awesome manga for the most part. Even better when you can blitz through chapters rather than reading one at a time. In Eyeshield 21, they refer to the speed of light as the maximum speed a human can run at. Sort of silly, but they don't pretend anyone is really moving at light speed. If it was PoT, it would literally refer to the speed of light.

Qualia the Purple wasn't all that interesting at first, but the last couple of chapters have changed direction and it is now very weird and novel. It is worth reading. http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Qualia-the-Purple

It is still a harem manga, with all the standard harem manga bullshit. It doesn't really matter what else they do with the story, because that tired old nonsense keeps the rest of it from ever being better than mediocre.

RatHat posted:Ga-Rei and Tokyo ESP treat their female characters pretty well. Well, actually it treats them like crap. Just heaping up misfortune after misfortune, but the nice thing is how they then rise to the occasion. Segawa's female characters tend to be physically and mentally tough as hell, really. It might be better to say that they are written well rather than treated them well. gimme the GOD DAMN candy fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Dec 5, 2013 |

Pumpkin Scissors broke my heart. It started with the amazing premise of TANK FIGHTER, but then it did its damnedest to distance itself from any TANK FIGHTING.

I'm not quite sure why, but I really like the faces in World Trigger. They aren't comically exaggerated or anything, but those alone are enough for me to keep reading. Everything else is perhaps slightly above average for a shounen fighting manga.

Ytlaya posted:Seven Deadly Sins is such a solid shounen series. Its story/characters/pacing are like a much better and more refined version of the main WSJ series and most other shounen battle manga. If the previous king only foresaw that the great war could be avoided, that isn't the same as saying it would never happen unless holy knights made it happen. They killed the guy who could see the future and are working off of a flawed premise.

No one knows for sure what Togashi's deal is. He might be lazy, he might be sick. It has never been confirmed either way.

Only, when Togashi is firing on all cylinders he is the best mangaka in jump. Better than Oda even, though obviously Oda is way more consistent. The sj voting system is ridiculous, but all of those manga that got cancelled were at best moderately good with the potential to get better.

The brief election arc was great, though. It took a lot of the shine off Ging, showing just how much of an rear end in a top hat he was when people weren't describing how great he is for Gon's benefit. It turned out that pretty much everyone who knew him hated his guts, to the point that Leorio almost became the head of the hunter organization on a platform of punching Ging in the face.

I think that stealth symphony could have been something special if it had had time to subtly introduce Sieg's steadily decaying sanity instead of dumping everything together at once. Oh well, time for more shinsengumi wankery.

Making broad statements about what can and can't survive in jump is dumb. Remember, death note ran all the way to its lovely end in that magazine. It is a pity that not every manga with potential gets its fair shake, but it is a ridiculously saturated market.

DoubleDonut posted:Can someone give me a refresher on what's going on in Seven Deadly Sins? I can't keep track of all these holy knights with their goofy names and I have no idea who anyone is besides the princesses and the Sins. Okay then. There were two holy knights in charge, Dreyfus and Hendricksen. Hendricksen was the guy who was really into the whole demon war thing, though probably not for the previously stated reason of giving the holy knights something to do. Dreyfus just wanted to be in charge, but he more or less cooperated with the demon war plan anyway. Dreyfus has a son, Griamor, who was the late second princess' bodyguard/boyfriend(?). He has done nothing but get chumped every time he shows up. Gilthunder was the first holy knight to appear. He was the first princess' bodyguard/boyfriend, and was only pretending to be evil because she was being held hostage. Jericho was a failed holy knight who used to dress like a man. Her clothes were stolen by Ban because he wanted clothes, and she drank demon blood to get the power to take revenge. She is currently the big monster fighting Diane, but was always kind of nuts. Geera also drank demon blood. Her family was disgraced because her father disappeared, though he was actually an early demon blood experiment that went wrong. She has yet to turn into a monster. Threader is a holy knight who leads a special operations squad who is loyal to the king above all else. I think that is everyone who is currently important?

Pierson posted:The vengeance-murder-is-legal thing sounds like it was ripped straight out of Freesia, which did treat it as incredibly hosed up and the people who did it as incredibly broken people. The question you have to ask is why such an incredibly poor writer thinks he can successfully crib from freesia. poo poo, the dude was only marginally capable of writing shounen battle manga.

So, Shield Hero. I'm starting to get some seriously creepy vibes from it. Basically, the women his own age are either comically cruel or largely indifferent to him. Even among the townsfolk who he forms relationships with, there are no women anywhere near his age. But now he has a sort of daughter harem, including a child with an adult's body. What's more, he has absolute control over them and they love him for it.
