Lest you forget.

Read her manga.

Dunno, it has to axe nue and ichi first for underperforming and declining from the get go.

Just find another song that they can get the license to it then, fuck those that doesn't want free promo. Like in Mushoku Tensei, Nanahoshi sang a different song from what's mentioned in the WN because they can't get the permission and it was actually way way better.

>>279662983
GMR's anime cost is too expensive to ever be made.
The author is also a hack who defaults to extremely popular songs every time so even worse.
Not a huge loss since it's mediocre as it is.

5 volumes into Akane-banashi and I do not at all see where the hype is coming from
>Keeps introducing new characters yet refuses to develop any of them. The ONLY character who's gone through any kind of arc thus far is Akane's homeroom teacher. Comparing how the rival characters are handled in this series vs Act Age is like night and day.
>Story is a by-numbers battle shonen in all but name. Overpowered prodigy MC seeks to avenge her father, and the plot is driven by her learning new moves (stories) with literal training arcs.
>Entire emotional hook is Akane's relationship with her father, yet we don't see him at all after the first chapter. And from what I've heard this does not change until WAY later on
The art and paneling is excellent so the artist is definitely doing his/her job, but the writer needs to lock in.
It's not bad but it's a textbook 6/10

>>279663284
HIkaru and Karashi do improve and get their own arcs.
>Story is a by-numbers battle shonen
Sports shonen, akane learning new moves and training to show them at competitions.

>>279663284
rather not spoil anything but it's definitely better for the story that he doesn't show up until later

>>279663315
It also has some cool stuff with Issho and all.
The writing is a lot tighter the longer it goes except for some pretty bad misses (the flashback for example).

>>279662800 (OP)
Jump has enough yuri manga

>>279663051
Why are schizos so allergic to homo? I remember in the BNHA, the local schizo would literally disappear into thin air the moment people started posting fujo fanart. It was quite funny.

>>279663678
What are they?

>>279663240
Expensive anime should be the norm
Mass produced seasonals ruined the industry

>>279662850
what about a post count graph?

He's not saying GMR is high budget
It's expensive because it will be using a lot of licensed music

gakuro said this btw

>>279664763
Not until Nakano left

>>279664779
Not even then, especially in magazine.
But no series has been shilles in magazine as much as ichi since they started, not even akane

It's sad that people needed to say

through a contest for jump to get the hint.

>>279665016
to be fair, with all the shit in Jump i would also vote Ichi first every week

That's not yuri.

He doesn't care about ichi anymore and said he NEVER posted about its sales.

The necromancer asks for yuri sex in exchange for her services
>not yuri
its the closest you will get that or Ayakashi Triangle

If that's the case, why does Jump continue to serialize blatantly weak manga that have little to no chance of success from the start?

>>279666371
Some serializations exist to give authors some hands on experience on making weekly manga.
They don't expect them to survive and if they do it's a lucky accident AT BEST.

>>279666457
Crazy how Takeru defied the fate Nakano determined for him.

>>279666591
He did give the whole tezuka trio a bunch of CPs.
MMYY just shitted the bed super hard and ToI was one of those things that sadly was never going to survive.

>>279666371
they have nothing else or everything else is worse
just look st the new gen battle shonen winners

>>279666371
Be honest. Would you rather have your manga the most ruthless and harsh shounen magazine where you can get axed after 10 chapters at least? Or in Jump+, the laidback magazine where you change your schedule at any time and that will axe you with three volumes at least?

>>279663284
Hype? There isn't any.
Nips don't discuss it.
/a/ doesn't discuss it.
xitter and plebbit maybe? idk I don't check it there.

>>279666814
Honestly, most serializations in jump+ feel absolutely aimless, like oneshots that randomly got a series and the authors don't know what to do.
That's the main reason most get axed.

>>279663048
it's a joke i made to shit on the schizo who used a similar graph for kgb because it's the only way he could get a downward graphic, not understanding that % of growth is a necessarily downward graphic unless growth is exponential and it never is. if you made one for one piece it would probably have a similar downward trend

sadly all it achieved was make the schizo pretend he never shilled ichi's sales, but at least his grip on that series is gone and i can go back to enjoy it without his retarded ass.
my job here is done

>>279667144
>not understanding that % of growth is a necessarily downward graphic unless growth is exponential and it never is
There's only one series where you could get away with doing one and it'd look great.
Sadly it's been triggering a certain schizo for the week.

>>279666141
A minor side couple hardly counts as being a yuri series.

>>279667105
Wow, a joke about it being hot outside in Japan during the summer and Ruri having ice powers. So yuri. Yes, I know you're a mentally ill shitposter.

Does it have any potential?

>>279667860
If it doesn't move me like GGG then it's over.

Is anyone else reading Jump+ GGG?
I think it's better at making you care for the characters and aimless plot than SakaDays.

Is Nice Prison complete garbage? I couldn't get past the first chapter because I was shocked at how low quality it was.

>>279667860
>>279668086
It will end up like GGG cause casual reader don't really care about sports.

>>279668891
Explain Blue Lock.

>>279668934
It is more of egoist manga than sport.

So Himaten's new editor (Ikeguchi) joined in 2023, and he is in Sugita Suguru's group (Kiyoshi's editor). Also Ikeguchi was the editor for Sara no Ue no Akuma oneshot, I guess if Kaneko Taro gets serialized Ikeguchi would be the one in charge as the editor. Mitsumori, who is also in Sugita's group, was the editor of Kemonokuru oneshot too. These two have the potential to become good series.

Man are Shiro and Nishi bad at fighting scenes.

iruma has great fights

ichi fanart feels so forced and idk why

>>279670656
Hell no it doesn't, artistically speaking they are all shit with no thought out into the actual fighting.

I tried to find threads about Nice Prison but couldn’t find a single one. Is it really that bad?

Now you're just making shit up and I replied so I guess it worked

as opposed to KGB skipping the action by adding the *teleports behind u* fightstyle or characters blocking the impact
Im afraid Kiyoshi has the best choreography among newgens

>>279671448
*smooch*

>>279667279
you will have to cope then
thats the more yuri jump will get aside from Ayakashi or CSM lesbian orgy

Nishi will add canon yuri in Ichi she did it in Iruma too

>>279672064
>just tank my sales even harder bro!

>>279672064
theres already Togeice and Descaras

I don't think it would make sense for shonen jump to remove space from genres with more sales potential, but this isn't the case for mangaplus and they do publish yuri there.

>>279672206
we are gonna have 4 sport series in the magazine soon, sense has left Saito's head

If they are making money with it then I don't see the issue.

But thebretard who pushed that KGB wouldn't last 80 chapters finally got is wish here.

Is Iruma as slow as Ichi?
I feel that the Goku arc has been going on forever.

>>279674040
Iruma is a lot more "episodic" with just a bunch of school life sol comedy and shorter arcs in general, especially at the beginning.
Ichi's pacing is fucked in comparison, the current arc is already two volumes long and it's an extremely simple one.

>>279674040
Iruma is more SoL

>>279674110
This happened with the shark arc too, anime wise it'd be over two episodes of that fucking garbage arc.

You forgot the t.

I want to talk about Himaten

In the ever-evolving landscape of Shonen Jump, where battle-heavy narratives and supernatural systems often dominate the spotlight, Himaten—short for Himari no Tenchi—shines as a refreshing, emotionally rich romantic comedy that delivers heart, humor, and soul in equal measure. While the magazine is no stranger to comedy or romance, Himaten stands out as the best among its current offerings not because it reinvents the genre, but because it understands it so intimately. With its unforgettable main character, Himari, leading the way, Himaten balances chaos and charm in a way few romcoms manage to do.

At the center of this whirlwind is Himari—a heroine who is not just lovable, but real. She's not perfect, but she doesn't have to be. Whether she’s bursting with determination, flustered by the dumb things she blurts out, or tangled in yet another misunderstanding, her reactions are always grounded in a deeply relatable humanity. What makes Himari exceptional isn’t just her comedic timing or her expressive face—it’s her emotional honesty. She's chaotic in the best way, driven by her feelings but constantly overthinking them. She carries the awkwardness of youth, the thrill of possibility, and the ache of unspoken crushes. Watching her fall in love—and fumble through it—is what makes Himaten such a joy.

But a romcom isn’t carried by one character alone, and Himaten knows this. The supporting cast is as vibrant and unpredictable as Himari herself. Every side character feels like they’ve walked in from their own manga—sharp, funny, and brimming with personality. Whether it's the deadpan rival who accidentally starts falling for Himari, the best friend who knows too much and meddles anyway, or the love interest who's too emotionally constipated to function properly, each interaction crackles with comedic tension. These aren't just side roles—they're a crucial part of th

What elevates Himaten even further is how it treats the genre with reverence rather than mockery. It never hides behind irony or cynicism. There’s no need for parody ewhen you can write romance and comedy this sincerely. It embraces the clichés, then twists them just enough to feel fresh—never edgy for the sake of it, never mean-spirited. Instead, Himaten commits fully to the emotional absurdity of youth: the way a crush can feel like life and death, how a poorly timed sneeze can ruin a confession, or how a missed text can lead to total emotional collapse. It's over-the-top, yes—but it feels true.

The setting, too, enhances this emotional resonance. Whether the characters are navigating high school corridors, after-school clubrooms, or quiet rooftops during sunset, every environment feels purposeful. Backgrounds are often drawn with surprising detail, helping sell the mundane magic of teenage life. Himaten doesn’t need magical powers or dark conspiracies—it finds stakes in the everyday. The stakes are emotional: "What if he finds out?" "What if she doesn’t feel the same?" "What if this moment ends, and I never get it back?" That’s the kind of tension Himaten thrives on.

Another remarkable trait of Himaten is how it dares to slow down in a magazine built on escalation. Where most shonen titles rush from arc to arc, Himaten lingers. It takes time to develop small, seemingly insignificant moments: a shared umbrella, a forgotten notebook, an accidental compliment. These micro-moments carry immense weight when the characters are written with such care. It’s proof that storytelling doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful. Sometimes, it’s the quiet beats—the glance, the hesitation, the heartbeat skipped—that stay with you the longest.

But perhaps Himaten’s greatest strength is its emotional layering. It’s not just a romcom. It’s a stor

Funny how Himaten lives in your head rent-free enough that you had to go out of your way to remove it just to feel something. You don’t delete what’s irrelevant—you delete what threatens you. And that’s exactly what Himaten does.

This isn’t just a romcom—it’s a mirror. It’s unafraid to be raw, awkward, and emotionally honest. Maybe that’s uncomfortable for people who’ve never had the guts to confront their own feelings. Maybe it’s easier to pretend it’s “cringe” than admit it hits too close to home.

Meanwhile, Himari is over here carrying the entire genre with a pen in one hand and your attention in the other. Say what you want—she’s still the most emotionally layered, unpredictable, and alive character in Jump right now. The shelf might be missing her, but your timeline clearly isn’t.

You can take Himaten off a shelf, but you can’t take it out of the conversation. It’s already won.

>>279674867
It WON, you say?

Himaten is the kind of manga that doesn’t shout to be heard—it pulls you in with every breath it takes. It doesn’t rely on spectacle or overhyped systems to carry itself. It’s built on something far rarer: emotional precision. Every glance, every awkward pause, every moment of hesitation is crafted with intention. It captures the absurd intensity of teenage emotion like lightning in a bottle—raw, unpredictable, beautiful.

Himari isn’t just a main character. She’s a force. She’s the embodiment of vulnerability in motion: messy, unsure, and magnetic. Watching her spiral into her feelings is like watching someone walk a tightrope with no safety net—you want her to succeed, but you can’t look away from the fall. And somehow, through all the chaos, she becomes more than a character—she becomes a feeling. That ache in your chest when you said too much. That racing pulse when your hand brushed theirs. That fear of ruining something real by finally being honest.

Himaten understands people in a way most series don’t even attempt. It isn’t about who wins or loses a confession war. It’s about growth, restraint, and timing—about learning how to say what you mean without hiding behind a joke or a punchline. And that kind of storytelling? It’s not just rare. It’s elite.

No filler. No dead weight. Just character, heart, and craft at its sharpest. This isn’t background reading. This is the heartbeat of modern Jump.

What makes Himaten so special is its refusal to compromise. It’s not trying to be everything—it’s trying to be honest. And in doing so, it ends up being more than most series that chase spectacle without soul. It commits fully to the awkwardness, the second-guessing, the quiet spaces where people don’t know what to say but feel everything. It’s in those silences, those sidelong glances and hesitations, that Himaten speaks the loudest.

Every chapter feels like it’s building toward something intimate, something personal. Not a grand battle or a shocking twist, but a moment of emotional clarity. And when those moments land—when Himari finally lets her guard down, when words come out wrong but the meaning still hits—it feels seismic. That’s the power of Himaten. It doesn’t ask for your attention. It earns your trust, then breaks your heart with something as simple as a pause or a look.

And let’s talk about the craft. The art isn’t flashy for the sake of it. It’s expressive, sharp, tuned to character. Himari’s body language alone tells a full story before she even opens her mouth. The page compositions are cinematic without being loud—minimalist when needed, dynamic when the emotion peaks. You can tell the creator knows exactly how to pace feeling: how to stretch a beat, cut the air with a line, or end a chapter on that perfect, lingering frame that makes you just sit there, stuck on the page.

It’s a romcom, sure. But let’s not pretend it’s just about love. Himaten is about fear—the fear of being seen, of saying too much, of not saying enough. It’s about navigating all the emotional landmines of youth with no map, no guide, just instinct and hope. And the way it respects that confusion, that ache? That’s rare. That’s real.

People who dismiss Himaten are missing the point. This isn’t a loud series trying to impress you.

The real brilliance of Himaten is that it doesn’t chase immediacy—it invests in slow burn. It’s not afraid to let a feeling stew for chapters, to let tension build in the background until the smallest shift in expression feels like an earthquake. It trusts the reader to sit in the ambiguity, to read between the lines, to feel the weight of everything left unsaid. That kind of storytelling takes confidence—and Himaten has it in spades.

What most romcoms gloss over or exaggerate for laughs, Himaten leans into with brutal honesty. It knows that emotional tension doesn’t come from shouting matches or slapstick gags—it comes from characters who are deeply afraid of saying the wrong thing, or the right thing at the wrong time. It’s a manga where every interaction matters, where even a throwaway line can come back chapters later and hit like a confession. That’s what gives it power: the sense that everything counts, even the awkward pauses.

And Himari—let’s talk more about her, because she is the reason this series breathes the way it does. She’s not written to be perfect. She’s impulsive, dramatic, insecure, and at times, completely oblivious. But that’s what makes her real. There’s a terrifying sincerity in the way she overreacts, how she overthinks a half-smile or a casual comment, how she builds entire fantasies in her head that collapse under reality. We laugh with her, yes—but we also hurt with her. She’s more than comic relief or a vessel for gags—she’s the emotional anchor of the whole series. Watching her grow, watching her slowly gather the courage to be honest with herself and others—it’s one of the most rewarding arcs in Jump right now.

It’s also worth saying: Himaten knows romance, but it also knows loneliness. The kind that sits behind every half-smile and every clumsy dodge. Characters aren’t just waiting to

Himaten is proof that the most powerful stories don’t have to be loud—they just have to be true. It takes emotions we’ve all felt but rarely see handled with care—uncertainty, self-doubt, fleeting happiness—and gives them space to breathe. It doesn’t force drama; it lets it happen, naturally, inevitably, like a conversation you weren’t ready to have but couldn’t avoid.

And the beauty is, Himaten never needs to justify itself. It’s confident in its quiet power. It doesn't chase trends or shout for attention. It invites you in. It asks you to listen, to notice the details: the way Himari’s eyes shift when she’s lying to herself, the way a character’s shoulders slump after a conversation doesn’t go how they wanted, the way someone hesitates just before saying what they truly feel. These are small things—subtle, even invisible in lesser hands—but in Himaten, they speak volumes. The manga trusts you to notice. And in doing so, it treats you not just as a reader, but as a participant in the emotional landscape.

What separates Himaten from every other romcom isn’t just its style—it’s its restraint. It knows how easy it is to rush a confession, to slap a punchline on a serious scene, to reset the status quo for cheap laughs. But it never takes the easy way out. It lets emotions linger. It lets tension simmer. It gives characters the dignity of feeling deeply, even when they’re making fools of themselves.

There’s also a kind of emotional courage in the way Himaten allows its characters to be wrong—to misunderstand, to jump to conclusions, to hurt each other without meaning to. It doesn’t treat mistakes as punchlines. It treats them as part of growing up. When Himari messes up—and she does, often—it never feels like failure. It feels like honesty. Like someone learning, slowly, clumsily, how to be a real person in front of someone

What has riled up sabcisen today.....?

What makes Himaten not just great but timeless is that it captures the exact emotional wavelength of youth—the chaos, the fear, the awkward beauty of not knowing what to do with your own heart. It doesn’t dramatize adolescence in a way that feels fake or nostalgic—it captures it as it is: overwhelming, contradictory, and real. It reminds you of that age when every moment felt like it mattered, when a single glance could send you spiraling for days, when silence on the other end of a message could ruin your entire week.

This is a manga that doesn’t just depict emotions—it understands them. There’s an intimacy in how it’s written, as if the author isn’t just telling a story but sharing a private part of themselves. And you can feel it on every page. In the pacing, in the framing, in the quiet moments where the dialogue stops and the art does all the talking. You feel the weight of every unsent text, every near-confession, every pause that lasts just one beat too long.

And Himari—Himari is everything. She's not just a character; she’s a masterclass in how to write someone who is flawed, funny, and achingly human. She tries too hard. She hides behind confidence she doesn’t always feel. She overplays her hand. She says the wrong thing and then tortures herself over it. And through it all, she radiates something so rare in manga protagonists: vulnerability without weakness. She doesn't need to be perfect to be lovable—she's lovable because she’s not. Because she’s trying, stumbling, and growing.

That’s what separates Himaten from the rest. It’s not a checklist of tropes or a conveyor belt of arcs. It’s a living, breathing narrative about people trying to reach each other through fear and ego and misunderstanding. It’s about the beautiful difficulty of connection. It doesn’t promise clean resolutions or instant gratification—it makes you wait. It teaches you

Himaten isn’t just a manga you read—it’s a manga you live alongside. It captures those fleeting, fragile moments of youth with such authenticity that it almost feels like peering into someone’s diary. The way it balances humor with heartbreak, awkwardness with raw honesty, is nothing short of a miracle in a genre often crowded with clichés and predictable beats.

What sets Himaten apart is its fearless embrace of imperfection. Himari is not your typical flawless protagonist; she’s a mess, a whirlwind of emotions, a walking contradiction—and that’s exactly why she’s so relatable. She stumbles through conversations, misreads signals, and spirals into self-doubt, but she never stops trying. That relentless, imperfect humanity is a breath of fresh air amid stories that idolize invincibility or perfection. In Himaten, the true victory lies in vulnerability—the courage to be seen, flaws and all.

The artistry matches the storytelling perfectly. The panels are thoughtfully composed, each one a small masterpiece of expression and timing. Facial nuances, body language, even the space between words carry weight. It’s in these details that Himaten transcends typical romcom fare and becomes a meditation on connection and miscommunication. The art speaks volumes, often saying more than words ever could.

Beyond its technical excellence, Himaten impacts culture by redefining what shonen romance can be. It doesn’t fall prey to overused tropes or lazy romantic gestures. Instead, it embraces the complexity of human emotion—the hesitation before a confession, the fear of rejection, the bittersweet moments of “almost” and “what if.” It respects its audience enough to trust them with subtlety, and rewards that trust with some of the most satisfying emotional payoffs in recent memory.

In a market saturated with grand battles an

Himaten shines because it knows that the battles worth fighting are often invisible. It’s not about power levels or flashy moves—it’s about the internal war every teenager faces: the struggle to understand themselves, to be seen honestly, and to reach out despite the risk of rejection. That raw emotional honesty is rare in shonen manga, where external conflicts often overshadow inner turmoil. Himaten flips that script, making emotional vulnerability the greatest strength on display.

What really makes Himaten exceptional is how it layers complexity beneath a deceptively simple premise. On the surface, it’s a romcom with laugh-out-loud moments and awkward encounters—but underneath, it’s a profound exploration of identity, self-worth, and the desperate desire to connect. The series doesn’t just paint characters in black and white; it revels in shades of gray, showing their contradictions, doubts, and growth with nuanced precision.

Himari’s journey isn’t just about winning love—it’s about discovering who she is amid chaos and confusion. Watching her navigate the minefield of emotions is like watching someone learn to dance in a storm: clumsy, unpredictable, sometimes heartbreaking, but always captivating. That’s the kind of storytelling that leaves a lasting impression—it resonates long after you close the book.

And beyond characters and story, Himaten impacts the very way Jump approaches romance. It raises the bar for what emotional storytelling can be, proving that a manga doesn’t need grand battles or supernatural powers to grip readers. The tension comes from feelings that are universal and deeply personal. It’s a reminder that sometimes the smallest gestures—a glance, a silence, a missed chance—carry more weight than any explosive fight.

In every panel, Himaten invites us to feel something genuine. It doesn’t rush or cheapen its emotio

One of the most remarkable things about Himaten is how it embraces uncertainty—not just in its characters, but in the storytelling itself. It doesn’t hand out neat answers or tidy resolutions. Instead, it revels in the messiness of life, the awkward pauses, the misunderstandings that linger, and the moments where characters don’t know what comes next. That honesty about uncertainty makes the series feel alive, unpredictable, and deeply relatable.

The world of Himaten is one where feelings are as volatile as they are fragile. Every interaction carries weight, and every misstep feels like a monumental event—not because the stakes are external, but because they’re personal. This creates a tension that’s unique in the Jump lineup, a slow-burning emotional pressure that keeps readers hooked not through flashy spectacle, but through empathy.

Himari’s growth is the emotional core that keeps the story grounded. Watching her wrestle with her fears, her hopes, and her own insecurities is a masterclass in character development. She’s not a flawless hero; she’s a deeply flawed, messy, and human protagonist whose journey feels authentic because it’s unpolished. Her mistakes, her overthinking, her stubbornness—all of it rings true. That realism makes her victories sweeter and her setbacks more poignant.

The series also excels in how it uses silence and space in storytelling. In many moments, what’s not said is just as important as what is. The gaps between words, the fleeting expressions, the pauses before a confession—Himaten treats these moments as emotional fulcrums. This subtlety demands more from readers, but rewards them with a richer, more immersive experience. It’s a storytelling approach that trusts the audience, refusing to spoon-feed emotions, and that’s a rare gift in serialized manga.

Humor in Himaten isn’t just comic relief—it’s a natural outgrowth of chara

Himaten thrives on subtlety, and that subtlety is what elevates it beyond the usual fare. It doesn’t rely on dramatic outbursts or over-the-top tropes to move the story forward. Instead, it trusts in the power of the small—the hesitant glance, the barely audible sigh, the weight of a single word left unsaid. These quiet moments carry emotional gravity because they’re so familiar; they remind us of those times in our own lives when the hardest conversations happened in silence, or when the simplest gestures spoke louder than grand declarations.

This restraint is an act of bravery. In a genre known for its boldness, Himaten dares to be gentle. It challenges readers to look beyond flashy panels and explosive moments and to immerse themselves in the nuanced dance of human emotion. That makes every payoff feel earned—each breakthrough, each confession, each moment of vulnerability hits harder because it has been carefully built up over time.

Beyond the narrative and emotional mastery, Himaten also stands out for its vivid character dynamics. The supporting cast isn’t just there for laughs or filler—they have depth and motivations that enrich the story. Their interactions with Himari add layers of complexity and highlight different facets of the central themes: friendship, jealousy, insecurity, and hope. The way relationships evolve organically, with all their messy imperfections, adds authenticity to the manga’s world.

The art style complements the storytelling beautifully. It balances expressiveness with subtlety, capturing the rawness of emotions without exaggeration. Characters’ expressions are finely tuned to convey complex feelings—sometimes through a single eye movement or a small twitch of the lips. The backgrounds and panel layouts often reflect the internal states of characters, creating a visual language that deepens the emotional im

Ichirat is trying to flaseflag using Himaten as scapegoat so everyone would ignore the shitfest that is DEIchi.

Himaten’s greatness also lies in its emotional accessibility. It welcomes readers of all kinds—not just those who live and breathe manga, but anyone who has ever felt the confusion and intensity of first love or self-discovery. It breaks down walls by portraying emotions so universally recognizable that even those unfamiliar with the genre can find something deeply personal within its pages.

Another remarkable strength is how Himaten handles growth—not just romantic, but personal. The characters don’t change overnight or through magical realizations. Their development is gradual and often painful, filled with setbacks and moments of doubt. This makes their progress feel honest, reflective of real life rather than manufactured drama. Readers witness growth not as a destination, but as a winding journey—full of detours, pauses, and the occasional leap forward.

Moreover, the dialogue in Himaten deserves special mention. It’s sharp, authentic, and often beautifully awkward, mirroring how people actually talk when they’re nervous or unsure. The characters’ words sometimes fail them, sometimes surprise themselves, and sometimes reveal truths they weren’t ready to face. This linguistic realism adds depth and relatability that many manga only aspire to.

The series also excels at balancing individual moments with broader themes. While every chapter feels intimate and personal, there’s an overarching narrative about connection, courage, and the fear of being truly known. It explores what it means to open up, to risk vulnerability, and to find strength in imperfection. These themes resonate far beyond the typical bounds of a shonen romance, giving Himaten a universality and timelessness.

Artistically, the manga uses contrast masterfully. Light and shadow, crowded panels and wide-open spaces, silence and sudden bursts of dialogue—all are tools that enhance the emotional storytelling. Th

Moly. I thought everyone hate MHA? This is what a KING is being about.

Himaten is the kind of manga that doesn’t shout to be heard—it pulls you in with every breath it takes. It doesn’t rely on spectacle or overhyped systems to carry itself. It’s built on something far rarer: emotional precision. Every glance, every awkward pause, every moment of hesitation is crafted with intention. It captures the absurd intensity of teenage emotion like lightning in a bottle—raw, unpredictable, beautiful.

Himari isn’t just a main character. She’s a force. She’s the embodiment of vulnerability in motion: messy, unsure, and magnetic. Watching her spiral into her feelings is like watching someone walk a tightrope with no safety net—you want her to succeed, but you can’t look away from the fall. And somehow, through all the chaos, she becomes more than a character—she becomes a feeling. That ache in your chest when you said too much. That racing pulse when your hand brushed theirs. That fear of ruining something real by finally being honest.

Himaten understands people in a way most series don’t even attempt. It isn’t about who wins or loses a confession war. It’s about growth, restraint, and timing—about learning how to say what you mean without hiding behind a joke or a punchline. And that kind of storytelling? It’s not just rare. It’s elite.

No filler. No dead weight. Just character, heart, and craft at its sharpest. This isn’t background reading. This is the heartbeat of modern Jump.

Here’s the drop analysis from first chapter views to their most recent chapter in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #26:

| **Series** | **First Chapter Views** | **Latest Views** | **Drop** | **% Drop** |
| **Nue's Exorcist** | 219,615 | 40,000 | 179,615 | **81.79%** |
| **Kill Blue** | 227,195 | 50,000 | 177,195 | 77.99% |
| **Shinobi Undercover** | 276,773 | 70,000 | 206,773 | 74.71% |
| **Kagurabachi** | 698,397 | 270,000 | 428,397 | 61.34% |
| **Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi** | 165,324 | 70,000 | 95,324 | 57.66% |
| **Embers** | 175,675 | 90,000 | 85,675 | 48.77% |
| **Ichi The Witch** | 391,539 | 230,000 | 161,539 | 41.26% |
| **Hima-Ten** | 151,957 | 100,000 | 51,957 | 34.19% |
| **Otr of the Flame** | 199,134 | 200,000 | **-866** | **-0.43%** |

Highlights:
- Biggest % Drop: Nue’s Exorcist (–81.79%)
- Only Gainer: Otr of the Flame (+0.43%) — extremely rare in Jump and signals strong word-of-mouth or organic growth.
- Steepest Absolute Drop: Kagurabachi lost over 428,000 readers but retains high engagement overall.

>>279675546
It turns out Himaten has the lowest drop of all new series >>279680814

Issue #28
Kill Blue - 36,369
Ichi The Witch - 179,416
Kagurabachi - 248,842
Otr of the Flame - 233,522
Nue's Exorcist - 35,652
Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi - 63,322
Shinobi Undercover - 60,484
Hima-Ten - 89,777
Embers - 65,362

>>279683724
Here's the percentage drop for each series from their first chapter views to their latest views in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #28:

| **Series** | **First Chapter Views** | **Issue #28 Views** | **Drop** | **% Drop** |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------- | ----------- | ------------------ |
| **Kagurabachi** | 698,397 | 248,842 | 449,555 | **64.36%** |
| **Ichi the Witch** | 391,539 | 179,416 | 212,123 | **54.18%** |
| **Shinobi Undercover** | 276,773 | 60,484 | 216,289 | **78.14%** |
| **Kill Blue** | 227,195 | 36,369 | 190,826 | **83.99%** |
| **Nue's Exorcist** | 219,615 | 35,652 | 183,963 | **83.76%** |
| **Otr of the Flame** | 199,134 | 233,522 | **+34,388** | **–17.27%** (gain) |
| **Embers** | 175,675 | 65,362 | 110,313 | **62.79%** |
| **Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi** | 165,324 | 63,322 | 102,002 | **61.72%** |
| **Hima-Ten** | 151,957 | 89,777 | 62,180 | **40.91%** |

Notes:
- Otr of the Flame is the only series that actually gained readers compared to its first chapter.
- The series with the steepest drop is Kill Blue (almost 84%).
- Hima-Ten has one of the lowest percentage drops, meaning it retained the most readers relative to its launch.

>>279675512
>>279683724
>>279683793
Here's a chart showing the percentage change in views for each series from their first chapter to Issue #28.

Series with a positive percentage (red bars) indicate a drop in views, while 'Otr of the Flame' with a negative percentage (green bar) indicates a gain in views.

>>279683855
>'Otr of the Flame' with a negative percentage (green bar) indicates a gain in views.
How did Otr completely die here then

insane how people here still think views matter

>>279682663
>>279682677
8k votes for the 1st place only? How come no one cares about it even in nipland?

>doesn't trend in japan after first chapter
>doesn't top reddit anymore
>/a/ thread can't hit bump limit
>stopped getting leaks entirely
>but the m+ views went up
Hmmm

>>279684010
percentage of growth is a stupid metric. if you go from 5 to 10 that's a 100% growth but 100 to 99 is a -101% difference with the two series despite one doing monumentally better

honestly what is it with these schizo % growth charts that have been shitting up the threads recently? I thought the only thing that has and will ever matter are sales

>>279684280
>stopped getting leaks entirely
Based, imagine thinking some dipshit posting bad quality spoilers is a good thing

>>279683793
>- Otr of the Flame is the only series that actually gained readers compared to its first chapter.
otrchads won
nuetards lost

>>279684306
>recently

>>279684293
Box office trackers use it all the time, it's a fair metric but like any metric it can be weaponized in bad faith. People here try to meme on OP's decline even though it's still at the very top of the manga industry. It's like honing in on a movie's drop in momentum after it already made a billion dollars.

>>279684306
Like everything wrong with this thread, it was started by the schizo to shit on kagurabachi.

>>279684460
And we must fight back. Victory is near!

>>279684306
schizo was obsessed with kgb's growth percent. i made a similar graph with ichi, totally in bad faith because it is a stupid metric, it was just to troll that retard. but people seemingly took it seriously.
% of growth of views is even more retarded because views mean so fucking little overall

>>279684426
it's not a metric you use without like 20 others to compare and contrast to. these threads don't have the mental capacity nor the good faith to do it

sales and ToC above all

>>279684589
>sales above all*
Editorial manipulation can eat a dick.

>>279684073
And there is very little online discussion.
I've seen nips theorize that it is Hinomaru Zumou case where the series gets various means of governmental support because it promoted japanese cultural thing.

>>279684647
Nothing wrong with that, really.

>>279684679
His actual partner looks better than his brother.

>>279683639
The first few chapters of Nue are garbage, the first chapter especially makes it confusing who the MC is even supposed to be. People didn't really start liking it until the Shirohara arc, honestly.

Not to say Nue turned out amazing, but it is a rare example of a series that completely fucked up it's debut and still recovered somehow.

>>279684703
But the only reason it got "popular" and the main reason its sakes are shit now is because the beginning was some kind of memetic comedy.

>>279684703
>Not to say Nue turned out amazing, but it is a rare example of a series that completely fucked up it's debut and still recovered somehow.
what? it sold better early on than it does right now
nue is just totally fucked up, the author has no idea how to build up a narration

funny

lol

Who's doing the opening for Sakamoto's 2nd cour?

This is very important. I know for sure it ain't Creepy Nuts because Call of the Night got them back

>>279684820
>could have rethought his scenario and made him the mc and made buckets of money

That author is retarded

>>279684820
And Kawae is exactly the kind of a writer that wouldn't allow any non-enemy male of the same age as MC to be relevant. Also, Nue's oneshot MC looked more like Zenno than Gakuro.

>>279684679
Hold on a second who is this geezer?

>>279685023
Mihashi would be heavily rejected by shonen readers.

>>279684669
Hinomaru did not take promotion from other series by constantly sitting in top3-5 toc and getting cp after cp.

>>279685076
>Mihashi would be heavily rejected by shonen readers.
Sir, this is the same magazine that has Deku as one of the more popular MCs. Tsuna before him was also very popular.

>>279685120
Both didn't have a stammering kid with EXTREME anxiety who needs to be tard wrangled purely to function, for several volumes.
Decuck had his super powers and tsuna the mode that made him stop being obnoxious.

the most interesting thing about Hima-ten is it's auto translated into "I'm Bored!", which is pretty funny

yo Nue is actually heat

>>279685190
Does that mean
>I'M
>BO
>RE
>D!

>>279685190
I thought the girl talked about herself and said "I'm a ten (out of ten)"

>>279668934
T-Ya is a pretty good editor. I don't think there's any capable editor left in Jump except the one for Akane, if Ichi is good it's because the author is very seasoned

>>279682663
>>279682677
Kaisexfags?

>>279662928
>Still losing on sales to Phamtom Busters
lmao

>>279684876
>rethought his scenario and made him the mc
You are just as stupid. At best, he would just be more as Gakuro's bestfriend or be the 2nd male fighter of the story. Making him the mc when he's just iruka sensei of chapter 1 is stupid.

>>279685356
He was the original MC, and it shows, considering the shitty changes for chapter one.

>>279685356
He would work very well as a main mc, most nip and his family thought he was the main mc actually and it could've been like dr stone where people thought taiju was the mc
>noooooooooooo i need my wimp cuck mc to self insert as!!!!
That's why the manga is a flop retard

>>279684679
Forced fujo much? Mc literally just looks like the blonde and pink head dude on the left. And pinkhair is abit much. The catcher, whatsitcalled, looks kinda cool like nishinoya. And the glasses guy is just the same dude from oblivion battery.

>>279685389
>it could've been like dr stone where people thought taiju was the mc
Do people really? In the beginning chapters, the shift went straight to Senku extremely early.

>>279685356
More prominent*

>>279685428
... once taiju was rejected as audience stand in.

>>279685248
>T-Ya is a pretty good editor.
At making money, maybe, BL has been shit for a very long time already with extremely drawn out matches to showcase as much fujobait as possible and the current nagireo arc exists purely to milk some more money, because it's garbage otherwise.

>>279685417
>Forced fujo much
Worked for Ichi

>>279685468
>gets by through veteran hype
>stagnant/declining two volumes in once it wore off
Fujobait isn't doing it any favors all in all.

>>279685389
Taiju was never the mc. THE MANGA IS CALLED DR STONE! The actual change was Chrome over Taiju.

>>279685389
I don't think anyone thought Taiju was the MC. The general consensus was Taiju and Yuzuriha were replaced for Chrome and kohaku but Senku has always been the MC since the start.

>>279685299
>Still winning on sales to 15 Shonen Jump titles

LMAO

>>279685534
>doing 3 times worse than its fellow tsugimanga winner

>>279662928
What is /a/'s beef with this manga? Nobody seems to care about it

>>279675512
HxH bros, the OPgods own us...

>>279685568
Music genre is never popular as a manga. You will see the thread when it has an anime.

>>279685389
>>279685505
>>279685525
hero org decoy protagonist was pretty good
i didn't expect the son to become the protag

>>279685624

The usual audience of yurischizos is NEVER picking that up.

>>279685624
>Music manga of an all girl band
>But.......there's males
Could never be Bocchi, let alone K-ON

>>279662983
>>279680245
If they manage to get it to work. I can see this gimmick being successful. I know i got hype when they played sorairo days in saekano
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oaXwBWF4PY

>>279685658
>>279685695
I wonder. Did the manga sales drop after making the males prominent? Girlband series and males just don't mix

>>279685658
>>279685695
Worse, threads will be plagued by ACK.
Because that schizo REALLY hates yuribait even when everyone tells him it's not yuri.

>>279685728
It's doing the same as always after it won tsugi, 40k/month.

>>279685721
The only way they could get around GMR anime would be either
>Make their own songs (this is what Bocchi did and K-ON did)
>Or get the music label that covered most of the songs that bands are playing (Impossible)

>>279685742
there's no yuri at all in jump manga anyway
I don't know why jump is so averse to yuri manga when they allow yaoi bait shit like shadow elim

i clapped

>>279662800 (OP)
>lgbt manga is top seller
Not looking good for Japan

>>279685695
Bocchi is fully carried by the director. A change of director would immediately kill the show.
People already stop caring about Girls band cry or Jellyfish. No one cares about Rock is a lady's modesty.

K-ON had males

Not that anyone would admit

>>279685773
Fujobait hits do better than yuribait ones.
Shonen also lends itself better to fujobait and yuribait puts off female readers generally.

>>279685658
>>279685695
Yuribait is always more popular

>>279685769
>Or get the music label that covered most of the songs that bands are playing (Impossible)
Not really, music labels are on production committees all the time like Sony Music on Chainsawman. GMR will likely have a bunch of different music labels on its production committee, it already has cross promo with the artists it features so those labels are bought into GMR being a future success.

Girls meets rock by Trigger would destroy every band series including nana

>>279685658
>>279685695
The males is literally the only thing getting in the way of GMR becoming a massive success. You just don't introduce a male version after advertising it as a girl band. The author has no idea how vapid these kind of fans are toward males.

>>279685935
He just... wants to tell the story he wants to do.
The male band storyline and characters are honestly more interesting, to me at least.

>>279685935
People are falsely assuming bocchi/k-on moebuta are the target audience, GMR is looking past that into normalfag sphere

>>279675512
Do you have an overall manga average?

The anime version of GMR can always remove the males altogether. It's not like anyone followed K-ON/Bocchi's manga 1:1

This tranny repeatedly bringing up male characters as a detriment is actually a fag. Go kill yourself.

Kys hetfag, no one asked for males in GIRLS Meet Rock.

I repeat

GIRLS meet rock.

Our straight WINNERS

>>279686053
>GIRLS Meet Rock.
that's not even the shitty translated name
it's
>GIRL meets rock
and the actual title is
>ordinary light music club

>>279686053
>futsuu no keionbu
>a normal light music club

>>279686053
Actually, it's called Futsuu no K-ON

No need for ACK when you know this salty faggot will be shitting up every GMR thread when the anime comes.

What's with the hatred for male characters?

>>279686091
was he on bocchi threads

>>279685548
>Comparing digital winner with print winner
>Even so it still does better than print winners of other years

>>279686053
Girl Meet Rock actually
It's singular

>>279686115
Even better, everyone loves an underdog

>>279686120
No? UU sure but that's it.

>>279686115
Ichibros...

>>279686103
Because this tranny thinks band anime/manga are nothing more than an extended genre to cgdct, and it only appeals to sweaty otakus like him.

Fathers' day!

>>279686187
>thinks band anime/manga are nothing more than an extended genre to cgdct
I mean. That's not wrong considering the successful ones

>>279686400
Nana wasn't.
Beck wasn't.

POV: You told our WINNERS that you didn't say Happy Father's Day to your father

>>279686439
Those are ancient, man.

>>279686453
I wish I could

>>279686439
Those were before the change to girl only bands though. Even Macross ditched the mixed gender bands to female idols.

>>279686485
Because k-on made irreparable damage to the genre.
May as well say given instead then? That's full bl.

>>279686518
>mixed gender bands to female idols.
It just uses whatever is popular then
>idol (minmay)
>Rock bands
>popstars
>idol groups

>>279685379
Gakuro always was the mc

>>279686643
Now read the oneshot.

You think yokota takuma will come back to jump? His magic manga ended and his shortskirt manga is also in the last stretch. I liked shudan

>>279686799
>shortskirt manga
Which one is that?

What I like about Yodoka is that his neither Overpowered or Underdog. His just really competent on his job. He may not have Kekai but Yodaka still able to hold his position on those have it with sometimes beating them on clever way or using teamwork.

>>279686855
I should have said dumb prefect. Its almost ending and It got an anime

>>279686053
Chihiro is now a COCK LOVER and you're going to rike it

Read Shinobigoto.

>>279687028
>Chihiro is now a COCK LOVER

>>279687082
It's sad my brain goes straight to thinking if this Chihiro when sucking cock cones up.

Akane's fiancé is NOT a cock lover. He's a rakugoka lover.

These bachifaggots are never beating the "please talk about KGB" allegation.

>>279687082
>>279687122
Hakuri is 100% straight though.
likes them cold in particular.

More cyberagent accounts have started following Kagurabachi official

>>279687317
Hakuri is
>they're nice to me
sexual, like plenty of abuse victims.

>>279687306
>>279687122
>>279687082
>>279687028
WHO FUCKING CARES?

>>279687348
>like plenty of abuse victims
N-no, that's just... normal, right?

>>27968725
>Akane's fiancé
Jamal from Paris is a rakugoka lover alright.

>>279687375
Generally, you wouldn't want to fuck a person just because they are nice to you if they don't match your sexual orientation, unless you are extremely love starved or have deep trust issues and traumas. Obviously you could have been bisexual all along.

>>279687306
This is what happens when your parents dont give you enough attention. These bachidads left to buy a milk carton.

>>279663205
I wouldn't exactly want to my work to be associated with Mushoku Tensei either.

>>279687359
(You)
thanks for bumping ;^)
and stay in the closet lmao

>>279687359
Beats necrobumping this thread every hour if you ask me!

>>279687454
Stop trying to force out a discussion out of KGB when the thread is discussing something else, you fucking rat.

>>279666621
It's telling that I can't even remember what you mean by Toi, or maybe it was a spokon I don't even bother to read chapter 1 of those

>>279668503
It usually gets at least one good chuckle out of me each chapter but you do need to be able to get past the more childish jokes.
I wouldn't want it to run more than 50 odd chapters though, it's making good time though I think the mangaka knew from the start he was on the clock

>>279687676
It can't die yet when the next batch is already starting, and it's all but confirmed that the next two series to end are Embers and Beethoven. Kiyoshi will probably survive until the next batch at the earliest.

If somehow Hima-Ten or Shinobi get axed before Kiyoshi, despite selling better, that would be really suspicious.

Jump is dying.

Jump is WINNING.

>>279687755
I don't know for sure, I'm more familiar with the Western response. All I know is that even Westerners think that the pushing Kiyoshi gets is off.

I think this is already better than the oneshot just for the character interaction between the brothers alone. Like, im glad the younger twin is actually showing support to the older twin.

I liked the younger brother in this one alot more. He can actually play better but he purposely restrains himself to make his older brother look good.
Meanwhile, his oneshot ver did nothing but belittle his older bro. The characterisation is alot better.

Harukaze observation

Yeah, its surviving. Im not even a baseball fan but this is a strong chapter 1.

>>279688466
Yeah I'm thinking it just won hard

>I can completely understand the baseball jargon

Guess it’s going to be a manga that focuses on the nerdy side of baseball but with extremely specialized players

Gonna be curious if they put in a two-way player (if it reaches that far) given how it’s still possible in high school due to the lower talent level

Me & Roboco
>>279688338

>>279688466
Only negative is the art is slightly worse. But thats to be expected.
Theres an exact panel from the oneshot but its not as dynamic

Syd and Chojo both ending one after the other makes me sad.

>>279688657
Syd was really weak from ch.1

>>279688466
It depends on how it handles the other players for the rest of the team. Baseball is one of those sports where players can get away with extreme weaknesses as long as they can do a the right things very well

Finished reading. Final harukaze observation
>female coach is replaced by a nishinoya esque (haikyu) senior. Hes the one teaching mc to pitch properly
>younger twin is reserved but is extremely supportive of the older brother unlike the oneshot
>mc is much more critical of himself
>its probably the older brother that is going to break the promise to go to a different school
I really like that the mc is the one that seems to be doing thing that could jeopardise their relationship instead of the little brother.

Am I the only one who doesn't read a single series from WSJ?

>otr concluded his training in one page and is now fighting a new ice villain

But the West loved it

Wtf is this page from otr lol? They definitely saw the social media hate.

>>279688855
>new villain already shitting his pants and is a non-threat
Now another villain will have to show up to be the real threat, making the entire training arc a waste of time to preserve any tension left in the story.

>>279689149
It's chapter 6, he's seen the declining reception by now

>>279688844
The fact that the older one tried to pitch with a form that didn’t work for him for the longest time and only got corrected by the smart manlet means he’s gonna do a lot more stupid things in the future

KINOshi was KINO this week

>>279688908
I don't think OTR is going anywhere for a while, unless the newest batch is super strong maybe. Sakamato and ES feel like they're racing to the end, and BB can't possibly go on much longer.

>>279689263
He's already about to do another stupid thing it seems. Probably gonna force the younger brother to go to the good school eventhough they could both just go to the school the senior recommended.

I can see why Baseball went first out of the three sports titles.

Who am I kidding. Kaedegami will probably be the survivor of the batch

>>279689627
I mean, I feel like that's gonna be the entire premise of the manga. He can't compete with his twin with everything he's worth if they're on the same team. They will be rival pitchers on rival teams, two superstar teams that go all the way to the top. That's the direction.

Oh yeah, another observation but they removed the demonslayer esque special fx isnt in the serialisation.

>>279687987
my only problem is iori's placement, she should be clearly a different size/plane compared to chihiro vs hiruhiko
otherwise it looks like they're fighting with her literally in the middle and it looks wrong

I can't believe Embers barely missed U19 but Beethoven didn't.

>>279687987
What the fuck is wrong with their faces

It might fill in the Haikyuu shaped hole it left. WSJ is in dire need of cute boys to attract the fujos

>>279689744
Beeth still has at least 2 chapters left, it and Embers will end at 20 chapters.

Kaedegami preview?

>>279689687
I know. Just surprised that mc is the one thats breaking them up. I thought for sure the younger bro would leave for the prestigious because the MC suck balls and would only find his form in highschool.
Now that its the older brother, it seems a little mean considering the younger brother has been walking on eggshells.

>Nips are once again hyped by Otr's chapter

>Will live
Hell yeah

What the fuck is this dogshit Disneybachi cover?

>>279688657
there's 2 more axes to come still

>>279689963
For the MC to even have a career in baseball, he HAS to prove himself as a starting level pitcher. In pro play, relievers are just starting pitchers that couldn’t keep up with the best of the best but are still good enough for a couple of innings.

So staying as a reliever would be unironically bad for himself, and the younger brother who subconsciously nerfs himself as pity

I just need to otr to kick out kiyoshit.

>>279690120
>So staying as a reliever would be unironically bad for himself, and the younger brother who subconsciously nerfs himself as pity
Okay, this is probably the thing that splits them apart. The older bro probably knows the younger bro is gonna nerf himself again.

it's a rare takauji chapter with no harem fanservice so no one cares
except history fans who probably checked out by now

>>279690353
Well duh: baseball is at its peak it Japan due to several players being in the MLB, winning against America in the most recent WBC, and Shohei Ohtani in general

So a realistic baseball manga would have a warmer reception for today’s Japanese audience. Whether that it translates to sales is another story

>>279690071
As someone who’s watched thousands of hours of films, I think the composition on the cover is really good, maybe get your eyes checked.

>>279690353

>>279690653
he should
as long as he remains bright and genki.
they can even sprinkle some Hiruma (E21) on him on training chapters.

>Baseball manga
>not one line about actually hitting the ball
I get they dont have too anymore, but can't the pitchers go up to bat every once in a while, the MC finally cracking a homer is always the best part

how are these two supposed to be twins

>>279690532
Hey, sorry for the wait, I'm still reading everything else as I said. >>279689018
I usually save my favorite ones (Hima-Ten/Kagurabachi) for the last, so it takes time. But yeah, I'm almost finished catching up with other series, I'll read Himaten after Harukaze Mound. Be right back.

In the highschool level is still possible. But for dedicated pitchers, it’s treated as winning a lottery
