Just quoting my own post cause I don’t think anyone did one, which was my own fault lol, poor timing to post this on the night of the TOC spoilers. But with a break next week, it gives us something to do. Feel free to share your tierlists!

Crazy how JumpSQ has been able to produce yet another exorcist manga full of fujo bait that starts to trend after a weak start:
280. Phantom Busters #1 (2.780) - 7 days
51. Phantom Busters #2 (10.150) - 4 days
Both volume are at the moment charting almost inside the daly Shoseki top 50, maybe Shadow Eliminators should have been a SQ series after all, at the very least it would have plenty of time to develop and get color pages for volume release

Eh, from what I've read of Phantom Busters, the leads actually have some personality to them, Shadow Eliminators completely failed at giving the main characters any distinguishing traits. What I'm trying to say is that fujos need some measure of authenticity, you can't just throw pretty boys in a manga and have them pair up and expect profit, you have to actually put some effort in giving them a dynamic for shippers to latch on to. or at the very least give a lead some sort of personality gimmick for people to latch on to.

The thing is that if it was a SQ series it wouldn't be literally the same manga, it would have been 40 ~ 50 pages per chapter and guaranteed around a year of serialization due to being monthly, also a different editor, so Shadow Eliminators would much probably be quite better than what it was on WSJ due to having actual time and more pages to develop the story instead of having to rush everything after just 2/3 months of serialization, but obviously this is a "if" situation, but i do think it would get better chances there than on WSJ.

It is a really really really small drop (just 22 copies less) so Its basically the same
The Elusive Samurai #14: 41,677
The Elusive Samurai #15: 41,655
Thanks to the reprint and restock and another one happening later in May. Neoshoco struck gold and reaching an audience beyond the KiriBaku HeroAca doujin audience.
Now I wait to see how well mangaplus Ghost Fixers does...
Ultimately if both are successful just shows exorcist series are still a popular genre and Shuiesha should continue to put exorcist series on all their platforms including shonen jump.
Still hoping for the day when most of the magazine is exorcist series. I love them.
Okay so after reading the one-shot, I would like to give my thoughts. So for what the one-shot provided, I felt that Goto fell into some of the same traps of humor that I have said and warned him to avoid. But I felt that with some of the mysteries they were better explained with the Order group from the Vatican. But when it came with the mask (goron), I asked on the who and maybe an explanation more. But it was hard due to how I felt that this should have been more of a mini series than a one-shot so it can be fleshed out. You know just saying that and comparing it to a period piece with mystery reminds me of Moue (artist of Akane-banashi) and his 3 chapter miniseries that had characters such as Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper. But here, I love the idea of the setting in Venice which I think looks amazing in both day and night. But back to the story, I do think it needs more so that it would give more of the impression that it could almost feel like a chapter 1, but one of the faults that it could have done was go a bit more deeper into Theo or Elenor like a flashback for either of them. But maybe more Elenor due to understanding her position to be a police officer or taking care of her brother. And of course, the mask itself. We only get that one panel, and we don’t get more than that at all. But on the Theo end, we don’t fully know about him, but what we saw with his ability and what his goal is (his want/need) at the end, I want to know so that it isn’t teased. In comparison to Oda’s second one-shot of Romance Dawn, we get that flashback along with knowing why he is on a journey to find the Peacekeepers. Here I don’t know anything that would make me understand these characters. Also, I felt that the action was somewhat lacking as I felt Theo really oneshotted the mask. But then again this is a one-shot, so I shouldn’t take it to much. But is this the normal extent of a fight in a one-shot in terms of length? But yes, this could have been longer. But on a positive note, the one thing I really did like was Theo’s comment on how achieving power can change a person. That line is on the point of being quotable, I love that kind of language. Anyway, if there is a plan for it to be a series, Goto has a lot of work ahead of him. And as for Matsuura, not that much to complain as his art is really that strong.
So if anyone has read the translated one-shot, please share your thoughts.
