Bleach (Absent till Issue #41)

+

• Assassination Classroom drops to 3rd - its lowest place, in like, forever, from 1st
• Beelzebub rises to 5th from 9th (2 issues ago)
• Nisekoi stays in 6th

-

• Gintama is in at 9th from 12th, but is still in the bottom 5

Other Changes

• Toriko: 2nd (3 issues back) > 1st
• PSI Kusuo Saiki: 9th > 2nd
• Naruto: 3rd > 4th
• Haikyuu!!: 5th > 7th
• World Trigger: 6th (2 issues back) > 8th
• Kochikame: No change at 10th
• Smoky B.B.: 14th > 11th
• Soul Catcher(S): 9th > 12h
• Mutou Black: 10th > 13th
• Koisuru Edison: 11th > 14th

An ok, slightly weird ToC this week. PSI's rise the most unexpected. Assassination Classroom drops out of the top 2 for the first time in forever, Beelzebub continues to rise and Gintama continues it bottom 5 slump. One Piece'll be back next week, but Bleach won't be back till Issue #41. Both being absent this week  are quite possibly the reason why the ToC is a little weird.

It also appears that we have some bangaihen in next week's issue. For those of you who don't know what this is, they're basically side stories of a manga series, but they're not linked to any actual plot. We're getting i for Gag Manga Biyori (dunno what that is) and Inumaru Dashi, which was in JUMP aaaaages ago. Back when I started this blog, in fact. I actually wish Katekyo Hitman Reborn! would get one - that ending left me VERY unsatisfied...

The last of the new series starts next week in the form of Hime Doll!!, and like I said would happen, Koisuru Edison has made way. No more confusing-as-fuck double chapters! Ceeelebrate good times, come on!

As you probably already know, I've chosen Kuroko no Basket as my Manga of the Month. I'll tell you a little about it and encourage you to check it out. If you have, and/or you read it regularly, let me know what you think of it in the comments!


Kuroko no Basket (Kuroko's Basketball), written by Tadatoshi Fujimaki, is about 5 legendary basketballers, known as the "Generation of Miracles" , who each played for a middle school team, but went to different high schools. However, there was actually a sixth member called Kuroko Tetsuya, who now goes to Seirin High, and now wants to help Seirin become the best in Japan, with the help of his naturally-talented teammate, Tagami Kaiga, by taking on his former teammates - one-by-one.

Kuroko no Basket has been serialised since December 2008 and so far has 21 volumes released, with sales of over 9,000,000 copies in Japan. Volumes have frequently appeared on lists of best-selling manga in Japan. The first season of the anime premiered in April 2012 and ended in September 2012. A second season is also set to air this October.

That's it for this week! Thanks for reading, see ya next week! ^.^

Sorry this is so late. Extreme fatigue + Scorching weather = unproductive me. A good ToC for me overall. AC continues to kick ass and take names. Speaking of, an Assassination Classroom OVA is gonna air at this year's Jump Super Anime Tour. I think some footage of the Nisekoi anime may be shown too, along with a Naruto OVA.  I had the chance to read Ginga Patrol Jako last week. Overall, I'd give it a 7/10. Had some funny moments, but wasn't that captivating. Oh, and something tells me that in the last chapter, Toriyama has a surprise for us, so stay tuned... 

Next week, One Piece is absent, as is Bleach - for 6 FREAKIN' WEEKS! Ah well, it's s Kubo can give his all for the upcoming War Arc, so if he needs the rest to make it a quality arc, so be it. Also, with One Piece and Bleach absent, next week's ToC is going to be VERY interesting...

Finally, I've chosen Kuroko no Basket as my Manga of the Month. I'll tell you a little about it and encourage you to check it out. If you have, and/or you read it regularly, let me know what you think of it in the comments!

• One Piece remains in 1st
• Assassination Classroom remains in 2nd (based on 2 issues ago)
• Nisekoi breaks into the top 5 at 4th, from 7th (2 issues ago)
• Shokugeki no Souma moves from 3rd to 5th, still a great ranking

-

• Beelzebub drops to 9th from 7th
• Although Bleach has moved out of the bottom 5, it remains in 11th
• Gintama is 1 place above the bottom 5 for a 2nd consecutive week at 12th

Other Changes:

• Naruto: 6th > 3rd
• World Trigger: 7th > 6th
• Kuroko no Basket: 5th > 7th
• PSI Kusuo Saiki: 4th > 8th
• Soul Catcher(S): 9th > 10th
• Kochikame: 10th > 13th
• Mutou Black: 12th > 15th
• Cross Manage: 13th > 16th
• Koisuru Edison: 12th > 17th

A good ToC for me this week. OP and AC doing as well as expected. Bleach and Gintama continue their slumps. And overall poor first ranking from each of the 3 new series. That's not to say they won't improve, as we're already seeing it with Soul Catcher(S).

Akira Toriyama's new series starts this issue, and is also the start of 3 new series starting over the next few issues. I also expect Cross Manage and Koisuru Edison to make way for it.

Continuing with my Manga of the Month theme, I've chosen Kuroko no Basket. I'll tell you a little about it and encourage you to check it out. If you have, and/or you read it regularly, let me know what you think of it in the comments!

Jump Issue #33 Info

Ginga Patrol Jako by Akira Toriyama (Cover & Lead CP) (New Series, 35 pg.)

Toriko, Haikyuu!! (CP)+

• One Piece stays at 1st
• Shokugeki no Souma is up to 3rd from 5th
• Beelzebub moves up to 6th from 8th

-

• Gintama stays in 10th from... 3 issues back, I believe
• Bleach, Bleach, Bleach... up to 11th from 12th, but still in the bottom 5

Other Changes

• Toriko: No change at 2nd (2 issues back)
• PSI Kusuo Saiki: No change at 4th
• Naruto: 3rd > 5th
• World Trigger: 9th > 7th
• Haikyuu!!: No change at 8th (2 issues back)
• Soul Catcher(S): 10th > 9th
• Kochikame: 13th > 10th
• Koisuru Edison: 15th > 12th
• Cross Manage: 14th > 13th

An ok ToC for me this week. Beelzebub's recent rankings appear to be on an upward trend, Bleach's are just awful. As for Mutou Black's first ranking - ouch. Even Soul Catcher(S)' was better. I bet Smoky B.B. will get a first ranking of... 10th. Just throwing that out there. 

Akira Toriyama's new series starts next week - and well done to those of you who could see that I was joking about not knowing who he was -.-. I think this'll be a short series.

Also, general consensus (which actually consisted of only one person - you lazy cunts) says that I should just stick to the current format and show changes from last week, instead of for the past 5, so that I what I shall do ^.^

Y'all remember Akira Amano, mangaka of Katekyo Hitman Reborn!? Well she's starting a new series called ēlDLIVE in the new Jump Live app, which launches in August and features exclusive content from Jump mangaka. Shinmai Fukei Kiruko-san's also returning and'll be in the app.

Finally, you may have noticed that Kuroko no Basket is highlighted in green. This is because I have chosen it as my Manga of the Month, so I'm gonna tell you a little about it and, if you haven't already, encourage you to check it out.

That's it for this week, my laptop crapped out on me AGAIN, so I'm making use of the library and kinda had to rush this. Why can't Google make Blogger tablet/mobile/friendly? Thanks for reading - see you next week! ^.^
