Read MoreVIZ Media announces digital manga updates for June highlighted by several notable new series.
Readers will not want to miss June’s selection of new titles that includes MANGA IN THEORY AND PRACTICE: THE CRAFT OF CREATING MANGA by the famed creator of JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE, as well as the first volume of the coming-of-age urban drama, AFTER HOURS. The historical action-packed adventure series, GOLDEN KAMUY, and an endearing tale about a high school girl and her pet penguin in THE EMPEROR AND I also debut this month.
Read MoreWell, I’ve put off reviewing this for far too long, and some of my initial excitement has been lost to time, which is a shame because whatever I would have originally written would have been filled with joy. Probably for the best, but I will say that if I were going to do a wrestling chant for this volume, it would be “Holy Shit, Holy Shit, Holy Shit” and so on and so on until my voice gave out.
Read MoreLast week I decided to skip Weekly Shonen Jump since it only had two stories that I review gracing its pages. Which was a shame because both stories were quite good, but I just didn’t have the time or motivation. It did mark the first new ongoing story from the last bunch of Jump Start titles, but more interesting is that this issue sees the addition of two more series. If you recall my ranking article (read: Comic Bastards’ Winter 2017 Jump Start Series Rankings) I placed all three in my top three. I did mention that I had a feeling that due to the art alone that Dr. Stone would likely be the one series to make it and that was true last week when it was revealed as the first series. No idea if that means it was the most popular, but it was the first to be published either way. Now, on to this volume of Weekly Shonen Jump.
Read MoreTo be clear, these are not official rankings, but rather my own personal rankings after reading each of the three chapters that debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump this Winter/early Spring/who cares what season.
Read MoreHey, there’s more for me to review in this issue! Yay! I will update you that I’m getting closer and closer to being caught up on Black Clover, so you’ll likely see me reviewing that one in the future. After the difficulty in catching up on One-Punch Man, I might just jump to it when I get close. Get it? Jump! Anyway, I didn’t review Food Wars!, My Hero Academia and One Piece in addition to not reviewing Black Clover.
Read MoreLast week was busy, so I never got around to reviewing last week’s issue of Weekly Shonen Jump. To be honest, other than the new Jump Start series Robot x Laserbeam, there wasn’t much to talk about in a review. I did make the terrible decision to catch up on One-Punch Man, but will likely continue to review the trades since I find the pacing to be much better. Eventually, I’ll catch up with Black Clover as well since I enjoy the series and need something else to review when I do this. Anyway, from the top!
Read MoreOh boy… not a lot to review this week, but if you’re reading Weekly Shonen Jump regularly, then you’re in for a treat as this issue features One Piece, My Hero Academia, Dr. Stone, The Promised Neverland, Hungry Marie, Food Wars!, Black Clover and One-Punch Man. Most of those are series I’m reading and enjoying, but I will only be covering The Promised Neverland and the final two Jump Start series (Maybe there’s still more for next time?) Hungry Marie and Dr. Stone.
Read MoreWelcome to my two-day late review of Weekly Shonen Jump. I am trying to get this review up and done on Monday’s when it actually releases, but so far that hasn’t happened. Well if you’re unfamiliar with how I write this review, check out previous issues or just jump in, you’ll figure it out.
Read MoreIt’s another week meaning more Jump Start! If this is your first time reading my review for Weekly Shonen Jump keep in mind that I don’t review the overall issue, but rather the individual stories that I read in that particular issue. Let’s get it started!
Read MoreFirst and foremost, I’m enjoying reading new manga. It’s just extremely interesting to me to see what’s new and if it can make it in the long haul. I will again be focusing on half of this issue due to trade reading and lack of interest… One Piece.
Read MoreMuch like last week I’ll be looking at and scoring the individual stories that I read from this volume. I will continue to skip things I don’t read (One Piece) or have determined I no longer want to read (RWBY). That said, it’s pretty cool to be checking out new properties. I have no idea if they’re even still going in Japan or how much of a difference there is between them, but it’s cool either way. With that, let's dive right into U19!
Read MoreVIZ Media spreads the love this February with brand new digital manga content that includes the latest updates to a variety of acclaimed and fan-favorite series.
Read MoreThis is review is going to be a little different. You see, I just got a subscription to Weekly Shonen Jump when it was on sale for ten bucks, before that I hand never read an issue. When I started reading, I discovered that several of the series inside were titles that I was reading in trade. This put me in an awkward spot because I don’t want to read ahead nor do I want to be stuck waiting for chapters over and over.
Read MoreOkay, Weekly Shonen Jump for only ten bucks for the year? Yeah, I've been meaning to buy a subscription and now I'm totally going to do this. I already set a calendar reminder that's how damn serious I am. The 30th! Don't miss it! Oh and the livestream as well.
Read MoreWow, this is a long time due. I'm new to android so I didn't even realize that Viz hadn't invaded the platform. Get your Jump on android people.
