The current MHA arc is probably the best one in a long while. Can't really say much about Black Clovers current arc since I dropped it a while back.

Also I thought the ToC was proven to less be rankings and more placed however the editor wants?

Current MHA arc is the best in series and the current best in SJ, the whole elves arc in BC has been a dragged out bore that I can't wait to be over with

This is true, TOC only matters if you're a new series, BC ranking higher than MHA literally means nothing

The chief editor gets to decide what goes where yeah. Obviously some spots are already decided due to color pages.

I really don't know why the ToC gets brought up every time as if it's some sort of quality.

The editor might give a new series some preference over the other, which can help boost it.

Anyone buy from Rightstuff regularly? Trying to decide if that 10% off sub is actually worth it when you consider things like Amazon and eBay.

The 10% off is good cause it stacks with their non-clearance sales.
So you get like 40% of specific publisher products and such.
Usually ends up better than Amazon and other official retailers, but like you might still be able to get cheaper from individual sellers.

I would wait until they have a publisher sale you want to participate in, though. But buy the membership first and make sure it's gone through before buying anything in the sale... at least from what I remember they have some wonky way to apply membership. Also the membership I think went up, which is why I haven't bought it in a while.

Also, it's worth looking at their end of year/black friday sales... the membership doesn't apply to them but usually they have multiple volumes of series on sale (if you don't want to spend on a membership)

At the people who commented on DB:S cheers appreciated!

Another question:

Anyone read the Children of the Whales manga? I thought the anime was really compelling (albeit too slow sometimes) and was thinking of checking out the manga. But it's ongoing right? Worth checking out? I heard the anime was super compressed.

I gave up on Black Clover a while ago because it was nothing but nonstop, repetitive action scenes featuring some of the most boring villains I've ever seen in a shounen. It's so bad.

After the first part being focused on MHA, the second part of the "Interviewing editors" on Mangaplus now is about The Promised Neverland!


I really recommend everyone to read it, even if not reading the series. It's just interesting to read how an editor works, how the series came to be and the entire process.

"We also made sure to steer away from some extreme trends such as "ero-guro (erotic and grotesque)", "violence", or "nonsense", which we occasionally find in Japanese online manga."

What does violence mean in this context? Because the series does have a large element of children shooting guns at monsters that want to eat their brains.

Oh, he was talking about the beginning of the series. And then went on to add:

"After the jailbreak arc, the world of the story suddenly expands and becomes filled with fantasy. It's now possible to depict various action scenes so the presentation towards the readers is beginning to change, but without changing the core. I believe the characteristics of "Neverland" that readers have always enjoyed, such as the mind games, are still there."

Haikyuu has been low in the ToC recently too, it probably means that Jump doesnt feel these 2 series need promoting while series like BC need it

So I just crushed through the 600 or so chapters of Kingdom that are out, and I love it. Is there any other series that deals with military strategy/tactics like it? I love the battle maps.

This is cyberpunk Naruto except the main character isn't a loser. Love it.

So the next volume of Radiant is coming out in August instead of July...



On the flip side, the cover looks great, as always. I like how consistent and stylish the covers for this manga are.
