Contrary to what I had said previously, in terms of actual page count this issue wasn’t really that much longer than last week’s. However, the return of Nisekoi and World Trigger has upped the series count to ten, and these are all fairly substantial, so I still had to write a lot more. I certainly don’t mind, as this was a surprising issue in more ways than one. Though that also made it more time-consuming to talk about, which is…
It feels like a long, long time since we’ve had an issue that didn’t go over 200 pages, but here we are. Because of various circumstances, neither World Trigger, Nisekoi, or One-Punch Man were in this week’s issue, leaving the total series count to be below double digits for the first time in ages. If there wasn’t a Jump Start debuting or a Jump Back being run, this issue would have only been 6 series full and less than 130…
I haven’t stopped I’m still doing these! I’m really sorry that I didn’t put out issue reviews these last three weeks, especially since I only just started doing them. I’m afraid that the combination of extremely long issues, more important priorities and responsibilities to my work and my family, and being overseas with no access to my Vizmanga account or decent enough internet to load a single page of manga in less than ten minutes kind of made my ability…
In this week’s Jump, the Uchiha have an awkward family reunion, Chitoge and Onodera have an embarrassingly friendly chat about how each of their relationships with their crush (who happens to be the same person) is going, and a shit ton of secondary characters who we haven’t seen in a long, long, long, looooooonnnggg time come back in…pretty much every series in this issue, actually. All this and more, After the Jump! Weekly Shonen Jump: 2015, Issue No. 27 World…
So remember when I wrote that review of a bunch of currently-running manga chapters back in January? Remember how I said that I was going to do those every month and how I never followed up on that? Yeah…my bad. I got caught up in real-world shenanigans and the backlog of material I wanted to cover grew so big that I the task of going back to it seemed daunting. So, I’ve decided to skip writing about the manga chapters…
I read manga. I read a lot of manga. And I mean A LOT. While I can’t seem to keep up with many anime per season and end up dropping most of what I start, with manga I’m up to reading about 60 currently-running series and that number will probably increase as I get more into the extensive list of stuff I’ve long had on my backlog. And now, it’s finally time for manga to put my passion for manga…
