Weekly Shonen Jump TOC

I don't know if this is the right thread to post here but, what are your guys problems with shonen jump alpha?

[IgorGB]

I don't think you really have to worry about Kuroko at the moment, seeing as it just got an anime.

Speaking of which, I've began watching it a few weeks ago. I like it.

You're right. And I just saw the ranking for the best selling manga in the first half of 2012 after I posted here, and Kuroko is number 8. This makes me feel better, lol.

People don't like it because it's very unrealistic, it seems. But let's face it, realism is not something shonen manga are usually known for.

Yeah, but I doubt thats going to be sustainable, as it seems to be based off of old volume sales rather than new ones, leading me to think the anime created a short term sales surge which isn't going to last

That I can't access it.

If I could I'd say the reducced amount of series and the 2 week (plus the early leak time, that varies from 5 days for One Piece to 2 days Gintama, to -1 year Sket Dance) delay.

I'm really glad Nisekoi is doing pretty well. It makes me laugh every chapter. I know it's a pretty cliche idea, but I still like it. I don't know, it somehow does cliches way better than other mangas.

[cutty]

ToC is confirmed. Too bad that Gintama's absent

[AfroSamurai]

O.O Naruto first AGAIN? Other than that can't really say much about it... Medaka, Magico and Toriko are in their usual place, Reborn and Beelzebub are slightly low for my liking and we still know nothing for Bulge

[KageKageKing]

At least Naruto will be absent next week.

[Cruithne]

Does anyone here read Nura? Can you tell me why it does so bad in the rankings, yet sells a whole bunch of volumes?

[BigLuffy559]

Found this graph comparing the average number of panles/speech bubbles in the WSJ manga thanks to Ruggia @OneManga Forum. Bleach has the lowest number of panels and bubbles. It would explain why the story just barely inches along each week.

[Dreamer]

Damn, how can Nurarihyon no Mago be even lower than manga like Pajama na Kanojo ?

Where is gintama?

For the same reason Naruto & Bleach often get to the first positions despite both are shitty as hell. Nura is top tier quality, more people should read it.

[Silverblade]

Where is gintama?

The dark purple circle in the lower right square seems to have its kanji. But for sure it doesn't have as few bubbles as the chart shows.

[Cyan D. Funk]

I like how Bleach is just brooding in the corner there.

[KageKageKing]

Has someone have knowledge of these new series(Koisomi, PSI, Koganeiro...)?

Koganeiro's a mini series, but there's nothing besides that (it doesn't even have a summary on Mangaupdates). Nothing about Koisomi either.

PSI is about a psychic dude.

[KageKageKing]

PSI is about a psychic dude.

Just like Psyren?

[AfroSamurai]

I looked at the first few pages of Koisomi and it looked like a love story based manga... albeit I might have been looking at the wrong series, it had 2 chapters scanlated.
