You are a 12 year old boy living in Japan. Your mom will only buy you one magazine a week and she gives you the choice between Weekly Shonen Magazine and Weekly Shonen Jump.
Which do you pick?
Remember, this will affect your future nostalgia in the same way being a Nintendo or Sony kid will.

Jump has Hunter x Hunter, One Piece, Gintama, Hinomaru Sumo, and My Hero Academia.

The only semi-decent thing Magazine has right now is Vector Ball and that's not even one volume in yet.

This.
There is so much good stuff in Jump.
This is not even a competition.
>>
>>143436338
Buy Jump and read the series I care about in WSM at the convenience store
>>
Even without current knowledge I hate the character designs for fairy tail and sins
>>
>>143436338
I'd be all like reading is for nerds and be spending time playing doctor with my childhood friend and bully nerds having a good time only to realize that I peaked in highschool and become a full blown degenerate otaku in my 30s.
>>
If HxH is running then Jump. If HxH isn't running then neither.
>>
>>143436338
Only series I recognize with WSM is Fairy Tale. Young me would probably fall for the titties and go with that.
>>
Let's break this down.
>One Piece
Great. Honestly the best the series has ever been right now despite the past few arcs being a little disappointing.
>My Hero Academia
Honestly brilliant. I was a little mixed on it at first, especially because I didn't care much for Horikoshi's previous two series, but this is becoming one of my favorite series, period. Can't wait to see where the series goes.
>Black Clover
Absolutely awful. Feels almost like a bad parody of battle manga. Has nice enough art though and can be fun if read to laugh at.
>Hinomaru Sumo
One of the best Jump manga period. Up there with Slam Dunk and Eyeshield 21.
>Hunter x Hunter
Do I need elaborate? I'm just so happy it's back.
>Kimetsu no Yaiba
Decent. The MC and his powers are kind of lame though.
>Shokugeki no Soma
Serviceable. Although I don't think it's as good as it used to be.
>Ghost Tits
Absolutely hilarious, and I'm excited for it to become a battle manga Reborn! style.
>Samon-kun wa Summoner
I don't care for it, but it has a cool art-style.
>Haikyuu!!
I don't care for it, but it has a cool art-style.
>Gintama
So perf. Don't want it to end.
>Saiki Kusuo no Sainan
Funny.
>World Trigger
It's okay, nothing memorable though. I'm thinking them going to the neighbor world will end up being the final arc. It's not doing well enough in the rankings and its anime is gone so it probably can't just go on for too much longer (maybe 2 years at max).
>Toriko
Ending soon. I won't really miss it but it was fun.
>Straighten Up!
Fucking great. If this gets cancelled I'll cry.
>Mononofu
Also really good, but I'm coming to terms with the fact that it's probably going to get cancelled by the end of the year.
>Isobe
>Kochikame
Can't read.
>Nisekoi
>Bleach
Just die already!
>Takuan & Batsu
Going to be axed. Jump is too crowded right now for such a forgettable series to catch on.

I don't think I forgot anything?
Now I'll do Magazine.

>Vector Ball
YES YES YES. So happy Makoto Raiku is back.

It was better in part 1.
>Kamisama no Iutohri Ni
Absolutely horrid
>Yamada and the Seven Witches
Should have ended years ago.

Nanatsu alone can't compete with One Piece, Food Wars, World Trigger and a plethora of amazing sports manga.

Also none of Mashima's girls can compete with based Tosh and the up and upcoming ghost tits.
>>143437302
I also think ghost tits will switch genres at some point. Kogarashi is quite competent.

Meliodas isn't the main MC in Sins anymore. Arthur is.
>>
>>143437447
>and a plethora of amazing sports manga.
Hinomaru Sumo is amazing.
Haikyuu is okay.
What else is there? Mononofu and Straighten Up are really good but they're falling in the rankings pretty hard with how competitive Jump is right now.
Shokugeki is more of a battle manga with how it reads.
World Trigger I guess reads more like a sports manga than it does a battle manga. I know Ashihara has openly admitted that he writes it that way.

Weekly Young Jump has the best line-up.

Literally the one good series you listed is Saike Mata Shitmo and that's an irregular serialization.
Also, Magi? Seriously? It's been worse than Naruto since the Medium battle. One of the biggest manga nosedives I've seen.

Sunday has ridiculously deteriorating numbers and executives getting fired and replaced for a reason.
It's because their lineup is shit and they don't know what to do.

You're telling me you haven't met anyone who read One Piece and didn't think it was great before? Do you never leave your fucking shounen threads?

Kind of.
There's four main weekly magazines that run in the shonen demographic; Weekly Shonen Jump, Weekly Shonen Magazine, Weekly Shonen Sunday, and Weekly Shonen Champion.
Jump is the most popular magazine, but Magazine is second.
Sunday is struggling to survive right now, and Champion is pretty much irrelevant.

There was an idiot in the last thread who tried claiming One Piece was shit.
When we asked him why he made up stupid shit like none of the characters are interesting, Bleach has better character interactions, and it's boring since all they do is search for some dumb treasure for 20 years.
When we explained that the characters were interesting, that the character interactions are the best part of the series, and that One Piece arcs if anything are more about rebelling against the Government than finding the treasure for most of the series he changed his argument to One Piece being shitty because they lost sight of the original goal.
He literally couldn't admit he was wrong and just started pulling shit out of his ass and looking like a funny baby.

Well, that sounds dumb as shit, it's never been as bad as Bleach. That said, "we explained that the characters were interesting" doesn't even make sense.

Caleb and Siztra used to post HxH threads constantly and perpetuated this idea that HxH was the single greatest series known to man. Them and the idiots they riled up would literally derail every single thread, no matter what it was, into a HxH thread.
It made people on /a/ really turn against HxH for a bit because they saw all these fans as these obnoxious elitist brats.
I legitimately thought they were both gone so this thread is an unfortunate surprise.

The word "shonen" translates to "young boy".
All "shonen" means in a manga sense is the demographic it is aimed at.
All those series run in Weekly Shonen Magazine IE Weekly Young Boys Magazine, therefore the series inside of it are marketed towards young boys, making them objectively shonen.

Osamu is an awful, bland MC though.
He's literally pointless and the biggest mistake of the manga was centering it around him.
The series is always best (and by best I mean simply passable) when it's focusing on other characters.
Kuga isn't all that interesting either, but he's a hell of a lot more interesting than four eyes.
>>
Actually, the entire cast is boring and forgettable.
>>143441266
At least My Hero Academia has stakes and things that happen. World Trigger is almost nothing but pointless training battles, and even in actual battles nobody is really in any danger because of Trion bodies.
It has some nice ideas, but it doesn't execute them well at all.

Generic isn't necessarily bad. What matters is how it's written.
It's why My Hero Academia is actually good, while Black Clover is wretched.
It's a matter of writing quality.

>>
>>143441524
It's just a very well written classic adventure battle shonen with an author who likes to keep readers on their toes by occasionally playing around with the audience expects to happen (ala Hunter x Hunter).
All the side-characters get time to shine and be built up, are all genuinely interesting, and the potential for future arcs is endless and really exciting.

>Actually, the entire cast is boring and forgettable.
So you've never read it?


>At least My Hero Academia has stakes and things that happen.
Tell me when was the last time a main character was about to die. Deku breaking his arms is just for fun nowadays, he gets fixed immediately
>b-b-but the mangaka promised me that THIS TIME he will actually have sequels if he gets injured for the 1002919 time

All Might... right he survived.

>World Trigger is almost nothing but pointless training battles, and even in actual battles nobody is really in any danger because of Trion bodies.
Tell that to Osamu and all the people that died in the Aftokrator invasion.

And World Trigger is much more realistic because if they get fucked without trion bodies they're basically that, fucked. Also World Trigger characters operate in a different level, in World Trigger losing in your trion body means people will get killed or kidnapped, it means your entire team will probably get fucked in the ass and that the same time it could mean that you helped your team by sacrificing yourself.
Meanwhile in manga like One Piece, Bleach, Hero Academia and all that shit the characters get their shit pushed in, get mutilated and instead of dying get a miraculous recovery.

So by the end of the day which one's better? The one asspulling recoveries or the one that doesn't trick the reader into thinking a character might die to get attention?

>It has some nice ideas, but it doesn't execute them well at all.

Ok.

>>143441428
>Do you hate fun? Are you Triggered?
Not really, I just said it's generic garbage.

You're the one that seems upset.

>>143441373
Except Hero Academia is generic and forgettable, just like Black Clover.

Well, Black Clover at least has really nice art.

Both of them are Naruto rip offs though.
>>
>>143441649
I disagree I see a lot of stuff coming

Then again I've only seen the anime
>>
>>143441649
>It's just a very well written classic adventure battle shonen with an author who likes to keep readers on their toes by occasionally playing around with the audience expects to happen (ala Hunter x Hunter).

Hero Academia comparing their manga to HxH, delusion.

>All the side-characters get time to shine and be built up, are all genuinely interesting, and the potential for future arcs is endless and really exciting.

Name 1(ONE) side character that actually matters.

The only characters that matter are Deku and Bakugo, to a lesser extent Todoroki, Ochako and Iida.

The other characters never get a decent fight, they never get to shine(unless they follow Deku telling them how to use their own quirks).


Then again I don't know why i'm replying to a guy that compares capeshit with HxH
>>
>>143441741
Frankly the stuff the adapted for the anime is the least interesting parts of the story. After the school Tournament the series really hits its stride.
>>
>>143441696
>So you've never read it?
I've been reading it since it started.
It's certainly better than when it first began, but it's still nothing special and will be forgotten within a few years of it ending.
>Tell me when was the last time a main character was about to die. Deku breaking his arms is just for fun nowadays, he gets fixed immediately
1. Why does that matter exactly? Do we need death and edginess to make a series good? One Piece has stakes yet characters don't die. World Trigger just ends up kind of boring.

2. My Hero Academia has made it pretty clear that Deku can't just keep breaking his body anymore, and that if it happens again he'll be permanently crippled.
Also, All-Might just got put out of service as did a few other pro-heroes like Best Jeanist. Iida got super fucked up as well when he was fighting against Stain.
The series seems like it's about to get a lot darker as well so I'm sure the stakes will only continue to rise.
>All Might... right he survived.
Can you really say that though? He can't fight anymore and is as good as useless. He was emasculated in front of the entire world and at the same time the world lost their symbol of peace.
That's some heavy shit that the plot is gearing up to tackle.
>and all the people that died in the Aftokrator invasion
Fodder?

>And World Trigger is much more realistic because if they get fucked without trion bodies they're basically that, fucked
When are they out of trion bodies? Do you really think anybody who is non fodder is actually going to die? World Trigger is aimed at a younger age than most battle manga in Jump. The anime is proof of that.
You're reading far too much into World Trigger than is actually there.
>>
>>143441696
>Both of them are Naruto rip offs though.
Black Clover is a ripoff of everything, not just Naruto.
My Hero Academia isn't really a ripoff of anything though. If anything though, it's closest to Hunter x Hunter (which Naruto was a ripoff of)
>>
>>143441741
That's your problem.
Honestly I wasn't too big on MHA for the stuff the first season adapted.
Once the Sports Festival/Stain stuff started is when people really began to get hooked.

I mean how many people got hooked on One Piece prior to Arlong Park?
>>
>>143441767
All-Might, Bakugou, Todokori, Endeavor and Iida get a lot of focus and growth and it's guaranteed they'll be getting a lot more.
It's clear the mangaka has plans for Tokoyami, Kirishima, and probably some of the Class-B heroes.

It's like you don't even read the series.
>>
>>143438944
He actually just posted this on Narutoforums today. I love how he loves to talk down to everybody and talk shit about every series but his ideas are even worse than the manga themselves.

"All-Might will continue teaching in this form and we'll get some time focusing on the cast and their relationship with All-Might up until Stain and All For One break out of jail. All-Might will have a conversation with Deku where he reveals more about his master death, and the truth of Shigaraki and begs Deku to save him from DARKNESS, no matter what.
We'll probably get a pretty badass Stain vs One For All fight, probably will end in some kind of stalemate.
All-Might will probably be tricked into going somewhere to meet Shigaraki and end up getting humiliated by both One For All and Shigaraki and be killed off-panel.

Eventually Deku (maybe alongside Bakugou) show up and find All-Might's dead body.
Crazy fight breaks out and Deku gets gets super fucking injured.
Maybe One For All dies somehow, I'd really like to see a furious Endeavor get his revenge for his rival being publicly emasculated, and then killed with nobody to even know or care.

In the aftermath of this climactic battle.

Shigaraki realizes he has to step shit up hardcore now that One For All is gone with his villainry competence, Deku realizes that shit is going to get real and also has to step shit up so he goes off to train more with Gran Torino. Bakugou goes off to train with Endeavor and Prince Zuko, other students find people to train with.

We get a final chapter where it's revealed finally that the Tsukauchi is in fact evil and that the police are getting ready to do some crazy shit. Using an army of Noumu as weapons for their police force."
>>
>>143442166
"Then we'll get a timeskip that opens mise en scene in a world where heroes have been banned for public safety, most all pro-heroes are imprisoned or dead. The police are running an oppressive war against both heroes and villains.

.
Some of the students (Iida, Momo, Tokoyami, Kaminari, Urakara, Kirishima, Tooruu) now a bit older form have formed Justice League of sorts (Led by Iida who finally identifies as Ingenium), but one that is technically against the law. True vigilantes, and do their best to fight the police, as well as investigate whatever Shigaraki is up to.

However, sometime during the timeskip, Stain was involved in a massive battle against police, and is said to have died. He has become a folk hero to many, and his understandably appealing in this time yet still dangerous philosophy is attractive to many.
Another group of students (Awase, Dabi, Shinshou, Tetsutetsu, Kendou, Kyouka, Ashido) are grouped together to fight more directly against the pigs. They're like, the Chris Dorners Commandos.

For the first real arc after the timeskip, each group has the goal of locating and recruiting Bakugou who has basically been off Staining shit by himself. The Teen Titans want him to see the error of his ways and work with them, and the Chris Dorner Commandos want him to join up with their existing cause. Bakugou joins the Chris Dorner Commandos.

Prince Zuko is in prison, alongside Endeavor, Aizawa, Gran Torino, Blood King, Crimson Riot, Kamui Woods, Midnight, Snipe, but are then broken out by the Chris Dorner Commandos in an Impel Down like arc.
Upset that his best friend Bakugou Boy and his hero Crimson Riot are now both alligned with the Chris Dorner Commandos, Kirishima switches over as well."
>>
>>143442166
>>143442191
"Deku is a changed man. He's Guts, a broken man, traveling a broken world. He is joined by Mei Hatsune who is kind of like his Winry. Since Deku's defeat in the battle with One For All his limbs are really fucked up, so Hatsune creates and consistently repairs robot limbs for him that are able to channel One For All within them. He's on a journey to find Shigaraki.

Where's Tsuyuu in all of this? Tsuyuu is fucking dead because life just isn't good anymore.

The Police have made a deal with Shigaraki's organization for information on Noumu production.
Shigaraki all the while has a plan to fuck over the police through this agreement, but the Tsukauchi ends up fucking over Shigaraki because when it comes down to it he's an over emotional kid with too much on his shoulders and not enough experience with these kind of plans and deals.
There could be a neat fight where Tsukauchi has two Noumu really fuck up on Shigaraki, however, just as he's about to kill him, we get a deux ex machina where Deku finally arrives and wastes both Noumu, and Tsukauchi get spooked and gets away.

Shigaraki obviously at first wants nothing to do with Deku but being so injured he has no choice but to let Deku and Hatsune watch over him. It's difficult at first, but the two begin to bond. Once Shigaraki heals himself he randomly goes off, to do his own thing."
>>
>>143442166
>>143442191
>>143442227
"Now we're getting into the final arc.
The Chris Dorner Commando's numbers continue to grow (they've also managed to include many members of Shigaraki's squad since his disappearance) and a full on war has broken out between the Chris Dorner Commandos and the police/Noumou's.
Somehow Deku joins up with the Teen Titans and there's a nice reunion.
The Teen Titans, now with Deku, all join the front lines of the battle.
Shigaraki shows up, willing to fight with Deku, and hey! Stain is even still alive too!
Lots of battles are going on, but Deku, Bakugou, Shigaraki, and Stain all end goaling towards reaching Tsukauchi who ends up turning himself into a super Noumou and the four of them work together to defeat him.

A pledge to rebuild the world is made.
Der Ernd."

>>143441417
OP is way too huge not to be big with kids too, and it's got things like themepark attractions that make it obvious they're a big part of the audience. HxH is also really big but probably skews older, the hiatuses mean it'd miss out on new, younger WSJ readers. I also think the content would have less appeal to them in general.

Because it makes more sense to the normies who don't actually follow the magazines.
Currently Western normies are more familiar with FT than NNT, and Fairy Tail had been the flagship of the magazine for years now.

It's obvious this is becoming a battle manga at some point. I just hope we don't have to wait 70+ chapters like we did with Reborn!.
It'll be nice to have a battle manga with a primarily female cast running in Jump.

You must not be reading the series. The fact that they keep talking about the MC's power, and are slowly interesting other characters with combat abilities, and the fact that several of the girls have combat abilities is foreshadowing the direction of the series.

Fuck, I never finished my most recent edit so this is all sorts of wrong.
The last version I made didn't have the "big success" criteria, so a lot of series under "notable sucess" need to be moved to Big Success.

Both series were written with a no specific idea in the story, it was just a forced slice of life with a lame comedy, then the battle manga arrives and turn into shit thanks to the rankings and the bad popularity. At least this Love Hina clon is doing pretty well in both: story and rankings, like Samon and that manga about dancing.
>>
>>143445597
Straighten Up! has been faltering in the rankings as of late. Same with Mononofu. I don't expect either to make it to the middle of 2017.
Ghost Tits and Ramon are bonafide successes though.
