Pretty Face

Oh man that manga.
I still yearn for some sort of closure regarding Rando's parents. Even after 20 years!

 

[SharkBait]

Actually quite excited to see how Tsugimanga turns out this year. Seems to me that Kagurabachi and Dogsred might be competing for that top spot, Astro too if its future chapters are any good.

I wonder if non JPN Bachibros will try to affect the vote.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

It’s almost our time Biyoribros…

 

[Inumaru]

Cycle Biyori LCP has such a nice feeling. Really looking forward to this one. Please be good! I can already picture Bucket Head next to Luffy and Chihiro on a double issue cover after MHA and JJK ends.

Finally we're getting back to the regular schedule, we survived well.

For predictions, ehh, Nue dead last because editors will surely do that, and GGG axed because Terasaka just gave up after seeing Shadow Eliminators above in the weekly Shoseki.

Shadow Eliminators will restart in the next issue like Rising Impact did due to the pressure and letters from Sharkbait.

Ngl I'm just giving up on sport manga in wsj, Jump readers just don't want another sport manga to win. The haikyuu curse is a fact..

They just need to give us a traditional boys club rise from the ashes like a Phoenix soccer or baseball series, no bats transforming into snakes or jaded edgelords attacking players with the boys in formation to launch penguins on the pitch...just a traditional sports all we need.

For better or worse, votes from across the world seem pretty heavily encouraged.
Even if they weren't though I don't doubt westerners would find a way to squeeze in a few extra thousand votes.

Also I forgot to comment on it earlier, but the LCP for Cycle Biyori is super cute.
Probably best of the whole batch now I think about it; the series is going to sell gangbusters.

At this point, I take that... shit I take anything if it's just another super powered sport manga (more like full drive). Gives the demograph more excitement, I believe the weekly shonen jump boys reading realistic sports manga nowadays just getting really bored pretty quickly

I already saw them on twitter rallying people to vote for kagurabachi, haha.

To be fair tho, it's not like this is the first time that non JPN fans participated in these votings, so Its not really that big of a deal.

Still think the Phantom Seer duo should serialize their baseball one shot.

[SharkBait]

Not really feeling like Psych House will gain much traction on English speaking regions. Seems retro otaku niche focused for folks who grew up on yotsuba (circa 2003) and I'm not sure they really read Shonen Jump.

 

[Phantom RPG]

Cycle Biyori roles with the tongue better no? Why go for Psych House?

Marketing reasons? I mean, when I hear "Cycle Biyori" I think it's gonna be a sports series about cycling.

I genuinely though it was about bike riding until I read the English name lol

Same. I assumed a more laid back slice of life cycling (kinda like "Non Non Biyori") rather than a Yowamushi Pedal but seems that completely off anyway. What's the cycle even supposed to refer to? Life cycle? Water cycle?

 

[shonenblue]

I’m probably way wrong, but maybe it’s a pun on Cycle/Psychic?
