What are some untranslated Jump Plus manga that you would like to see be translated?

I mainly asked this cause Icame across Kiruru Kill Me. xD

Off the top of my head:

• Hidarikiki no Eren (The art seems interesting, that's all, lol.)
• Boukyaku Battery (The fact that this one appeared on the recent MangaPlus survey gives me a little hope!)
• Akuma no Memumemu-chan (Seems like a staple series on the service and I'm honestly surprised that no one has tried translating it yet. It even got a short ONA by Shaft minus Shinbo and it seems like they turned the main character into a moderately successful V-Tuber!)

Boukyaku Battery scans for never ever

In the other hand, Kaijuu 8 has been picked by Mangaplus English

Took em long enough lol!

It’s finally here, next I need them to pick up March of the living revenge, Wa no Kate, and Himitsu no kaijitsu

Dosanko Gyaru author must’ve foreseen the backlash because now we have a new chapter one week after instead of the usual two weeks and...

...I think this is progress, right? If so, then that just proves my point of drama is a necessary evil.

So translations came out (this is part one of a two parter) and reactions are mixed to positive instead of mixed to negative. Apparently people really don’t like the studying abroad trope. If I had to guess, it’s because the only major instance it shows up is in Nisekoi. Which... sucks, cause it wasn’t used the best there. I think this whole thing has been interesting so far.

I thought it was weekly before the author got sick? Then they returned but it was every other week until they full recovered ? Or am I wrong?

Lmao, did you forget swim girl from wnl already?

Oh right, that was a thing! I forgot that arc, tbh. Too busy enjoying Fumino's. xD

 

[Lil meen]

Well that sucks, this manga is such an amazing and fun manga. I hope shonen jump makes more mma styled manga in the future.

New raw chapter of Kaiju No. 8 is out.

I really wonder what Shinomiya's deal is, seriously. She's real annoying, especially to Kafka. I don't think she's crossed that threshold into too annoying, especially since I think we're supposed to feel this way. I also think things'll get real interesting starting from the next chapter.

The author's an assistant of Horikoshi, right? Cause this series feels very much like early HeroAca, and I like it so far. Here's hoping it can go in a newer direction down the line.

Also really curious in the few panels we get of Mina.

 

[James Rye]

What's there not to get about her deal? She is from a rich and powerful family, intelligent, strong, a real genius at 16 not only combat but also ability-wise as her placement in the tests showed. In other words she is a Shinomiya but one worth her salt. No reason not to flaunt it as annoying as those lesser gifted might see it, blind due their envy. XD
Well, I bet next chapter she gets saved in some way or another or she has to work together with MC and his friend or else she loses or something like that.^^

 

[Koni]

I forgot how much I liked Muto and Sato, mainly due to the fact thhat that gets translated at such a snail's pace.

Main thing I don’t like about this is that it uses actual gaming IPs. Idk, something about that just feels a bit tacky to me. Would rather them have gaming characters specific to their universe

I haven't read this but I thought Hi Score Girl was pretty good with that. Even had fun ongoing jokes like Haruo going after the console in hindsight we know was the worse choice (picking Sega Saturn over PlayStation for example)

This, Hi Score Girl is goat. Hence, it makes me think fighting game is the only viable genre to make manga about.

Also fuck SNK btw

I just realized that in a few chapters, Saotome Shimai Ha Manga no Tame Nara!? will officially be 3 times longer than the author's previous 2 series (E-Robot and Love Rush) combined! I'm really glad their third time ended up working nicely for them.

 

[Lil meen]

I didn’t even know the manga version ran on jump plus. I’ll check it out since I loved the anime adaptation.

It seems it is getting axed, which is surprising. Lots of comments being shocked and saying that the ending is so sudden and out of nowhere. The novel is still ongoing with 14+ volumes, the manga will stop at 6 (with a manga ending) it seems.

Sales wise, it always did around 3-5k+ copies, surprisingly poor knowing it's based on a popular novel. And the anime didn't help much beyond a short boost for Vol 4 (around 8-9k), which it lost already in Vol 5 (back to 5k first week)

 

[Nemesis]

Anyone has a list for all the manga that was at Jump+ and their frequency? lol I would like it to put in wikipedia.
