This series is really great... I wonder why young jump titles take so long to catch on in the west?

I think the seinen series, itself, is hard to get attention in the west.

Yeah, this is true. The trend is just weird to me(especially with YJ in particular) how a series will have little to no attention from western readers until it gets anime. Kingdom and Tokyo Ghoul being the obvious examples off the top of my head - but stuff like Zetman and Brynhildr too. I think this series will be extremely popular in time... it is just a matter of when - likely not until anime.

I think the western audience don't get much attention because it is hard to understand them and/or hard to translate them. The seinen series' story is much more complex and harder than shounen series. So, I bet the western audience don't want to waste their time on seinen series until they get high popularity (like Kingdom, Terra Formars, Tokyo Ghoul, and Kangoku Gakuen).

Really glad to see this influx of scanlated chapters recently. This series definitely deserves the love.

[spyda]

hey! my avatar is actually relevant to this chapter

[Kaizou 10]

This series definitely deserves the love.

But, it isn't getting love in here.

[Brotato]

But, it isn't getting love in here.

Probably not until there's an anime PV and then suddenly everyone gets interested. At least that's how it was with SnK and TG

Just bearly.

But it didn't work for most of animated mangas.

I don't know about this series becoming popular here in arlong park in particular, but I know if the scans keep coming it will develop a following online eventually

[Brotato]

True. But ones with this level of popularity in the east tend to follow a similar trend in the west. Like with Boku dake ga Inai Machi as a currently happening example.

Eh, I really think it's just a matter of time. This manga keeps getting better as it goes, and the scans are really far behind.
