Sports manga have been the magazine's weak point; there hasn't been a strong sports series since Haikyuu!!. With Blue Box—which I consider more of a romance manga than a spokon—having ended, I find myself wondering why it is so difficult for a sports series to succeed in the most important magazine.

Mixing fantasy with sports (Ping Pong Peril and Alien Headbutt) hasn't worked, and manga about school clubs (Harukaze Mound and Drawn to the Fire) haven't worked either. Now, we are waiting to see the results for Hall Formula, which features an unusual sport with a dramatic tone.

What do you think?

I love using them but only being able to read shueisha manga on a good app isn’t great

The only decent one is Manga up(after the vault pass introduction )but even then people barely discuss the series on it and the last time I tried to ask why that is?

I got into a stupid argument….

I just want a competent legal way to enjoy manga outside shueisha titles

Hi everyone.

So, the new basketball series “drawn to the fire” im really enjoying it right now.

But how do i know its doing good? If it is at all.

I hope it doesn’t get cancelled…

It doesn't even have to be from the main magazine.

We mostly get arena fighters (which I actually like, judge me if you want), predatory gacha games stuffed with aggressive monetization, Captain Tsubasa gets its soccer games, and people are constantly asking for a new 2D crossover fighter by Arc System Works, even though they have said they want to focus more on Western IPs these days. But I'm sure there's room for a lot more than that.

For example, Jujutsu Kaisen is getting a game from the team behind Vampire Survivors, and One Piece is getting a cooking game, so developers are clearly starting to branch out. I remember someone once saying that a Blue Box visual novel would be a great idea only for Nue's Exorcist to end up getting one instead, somehow.

I also think we could get character action games based on series like Demon Slayer or Claymore, a Soulslite inspired by either of them, or even career-management games based on Bakuman or Akane-banashi...

I really don't understand the huge hate this series gets, like sure it isn't the best series out there, but it isn't the worst either and it seems like it was able to get enough sales to survive the first batch by the looks of it. I view it more as the quality of Nue and UKE, pretty good time killers.

That's why I think it would be hilarious if it even survive just to piss off the haters even more, like it being consentaly beaten down into the dumps ironically gave it enough popularity to survive.

But what do you guys think?

I see that some people are forgetting that Yu-Gi-Oh! will be turning 30 in September, and since Shueisha has confirmed that numerous projects and plans are being put into practice to commemorate this historic milestone for the franchise, I believe one of these projects is a remake more faithful to the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. So what do you think? Will we have a new Yu-Gi-Oh! anime to celebrate its 30th anniversary?

Just saw this posted on X. Thankfully the goat himself (Togashi) is on a recent fire streak 🔥

Hi everybody! I'm working on a YT video trying to come up with the perfect Shonen Jump Fighter roster. In the process I thought it would be cool to compare and contrast my roster with one voted by the community!

Last time I got some feedback and updated the list accordingly

Due to a Shonen Jump game feeling empty without them certain characters were removed and will make it anyways which are:

Goku-Dragon Ball (Grandaddy of The Big 3)

Naruto-Naruto (Big 3)

Luffy-One Piece (Big 3)

Ichigo-Bleach (Big 3)

Chihiro Rokuhira-Kagurabachi (Didn't know this had as much motion as it does)

Tanjiro-Demon Slayer (Cemented anime as mainstream in the states)

Yuji-JJK (Continues to be one of the most popular new gen manga/anime)

Gon-HXH (Darker tone shows Shonen doesn't just have to be for kids)

Midoriya-MHA (Got animes foot in the door to be mainstream)

Denji-Chainsaw Man (Basically the most popular ANIME to start in the past 5 years)

I've received feedback for missing characters from series I didn't know ball for (+Tien) which are:

Hakuri Sazanami-Kagurabachi

Genichi Sojo-Kagurabachi

Samurai Seiichi-Kagurabachi

Akemura Soga-Kagurabachi

Hiruhiko-Kagurabachi

Ruri Aoki-Ruri’s Dragon

Gonron-Gonron Egg

Tien Shinhan-Dragon Ball

I also accidentally noticed I left something in that is against this subreddits guidelines about self promotion asking people to put their email if they'd like to be notified when the video drops. That question has been removed to be safe!

All votes from last time have been counted and carried over if you guys have any feedback I'd love to hear it and thank you for your time!

Which WSJ exorcist manga do you think will get an anime adaptation first?

I wanna make a YouTube video where I concept the perfect roster for a shonen crossover fighting game but to make things more interesting I want to compare and contrast my roster with a roster voted by different reddit communities!

I put together a list of 319 characters from 63 different series (55+ franchises). The first vote is worth 3 votes and the second is worth 2 votes. The roster size will end up at about 50.

Thank you for your time!

Final volume 3 is scheduled for August 4th

Netflix's One Piece (WSJ) - Minifigures, tv miniseries

Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War (WSJ) - Lego Fortnite

One-Punch Man (TNYJ) - Lego Fortnite

Ps: It surprised me a bit that TYBW received Lego versions, since this arc is way more violent than the rest of the Bleach anime, so i guess we could get Lego JJK or DS in Fortnite at least

Elusive Samurai and Blue Box have ended leaving Witch Watch the only one from 2021 survival batch.

First we would need to answer 2 questions before getting into full predictions of what kind of manga we will see, how many new series's would we get and when exactly would the next batch happen? For the 2nd question, we know that the current schedule is -

Issue 34 - Roboco Cover
Issue 35 - Sakamoto Days Climax Cover
Issue 36 - ?
Issue 37-38 - ?
Issue 39 - ?
Issue 40 - ?
Issue 41 - ?
Issue 42-43 - ?
Issue 44 - ?

A batch of 3 would perfectly fit into the 39-41 range but honestly I believe that a batch of 4 is more likely? We know that the Roku-Fire-2-B batch used the spots of Alien Headbutt, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo & Hima-Ten! leaving the Blue Box spot open. In addition to that Sakamoto Days is likely ending in the coming weeks & Kinato is 100% getting axed; making 3 spots.

For the 4th spot I can see Hunter x Hunter leaving again (just for a shorter hiatus this time)? We know that the current 10 chapter run would end with Issue 41 (so in the next batch range) and so far only 421-423 have been sent to Shueisha and I don't see Togashi finishing the next 7 chapters in 6 weeks despite 424-427 being close to done. (Or Drawn to the Fire gets axed idk man)

So now if we go with a Batch of 4 it could just be splitted up; so 39, 40, 41 & 44 being new series's or the batch just starts with Issue 44.

To get into my new series predictions:

We can't ignore the elephant in the room; Bleach. Bleach actually debuted in a double issue in 2001 so its not impossible for it to return in Issue 37-38 or 42-43. (It would suck since we would get robbed of ANOTHER group cover this year but WE will tank that for Bleach.)
Overall I think Bleach Hell Arc is a safe bet.

For the 2nd series I'd like a new rom-com since we just lost Hima-Ten! & Blue Box. While I like Someone Hertz it doesn't have the vibe I'm looking for in a rom-com if that makes sense? With how many veterans have returned this year already a safe bet would probably Naoshi Komi (Nisekoi) who has been active with One-Shots but honestly I'd prefer a new mangaka like Hakase Izumi (Signal All Red) or Yuuki Toba (Sensei Fukoku.)

For a 3rd series I think a action series is a safe bet with how many we have been getting this year. Jump has so many young & talented mangaka that haven't been serialized yet; it feels impossible to chose one for this "personal dream batch prediction" so I'm just gonna name a few where it is possible. Yuu Odoriba (Bad Tripper, My Little Mars) DESERVES a full series the most imo, love his writing. Kento Sako (NARAKA) has so much sauce and style I hope jump gives him a chance soon. While I'm not the biggest fan Yuufoo Gakuji (ZOOKEY!!) could pull it off! Do I even need to mention Taisei Tsujita? But for me, the ultimate potential man is Mujina Muji (Use Mono Sagashi); give this person a full series!!! They have what it takes to create a hit!

For a 4th series idk it could just be a 2nd battle manga, a sports manga or a gag manga. I'd like to see Morihiro Hayashi (MamaYuyu) or Omusuke Kobayashi (Psych House) return.

To sum my personal predictions up:
1 - Bleach Hell Arc
2 - Rom-Com by Hakase Izumi
3 - Battle manga by Yuu Odoriba
4 - Return of Morihiro Hayashi

What are your dream picks / predictions?

Final volume 3 is scheduled October 2026.

Imagine Shueisha releases a “Best of Weekly Shonen Jump” omnibus featuring one chapter from 20 different series—a celebration of the magazine’s greatest hits.

Which 20 series would you include? And if you had to pick one specific chapter from each, which chapters would be absolute must-haves?
