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...

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
