because no one dumped

I thought shizuka and marina stopped fighting

>>281540945 (OP)
It’s literally the same soccer one-shot he posted a year ago but more boring because the 2 characters don't even talk to each other.

>>281540945 (OP)
>it's just shizuka and marina again
hack

>>281542838
Let's go, then.

did everyone forget about his cancelled jump series

>>281543166
Where?

>>281543166
thanks

>>281543234
There was a reason it was cancelled

>>281543234
It was a highly flawed exploration of a fucked up family. I didn't particularly like how they did the older brother's arc, or rather, how it was executed

>>281543234
Because it was convoluted dogshit.

>it was a highly flawed exploration of a fucked up family.
Yeah, the idea of a screwed up family that isn't necessarily made up of bad people is interesting. But in the end the characters were dull and the DEADLY SINS were not that big of a deal, so it felt as if they were over exaggerating and dramatizing something really quotidian. The hysterical mother was perhaps the most coherent and interesting character, or at least it felt real, the problem is that it had nothing to do with the expectations that came with chapter 1.

>>281543483
I think I read like 3-4 chapters before dropping it before I could even really form a theory of why I didn't like it.

>>281543850
Poor girl.

>>281544004
Oh boy

>>281544092
I wonder if this is really supposed to be about being a mangaka

>>281544092
I'm getting filtered, pls explain

>>281544241
Relatable

>>281544186
Fighting sports like Boxing, Mma, etc. usually lead to many injuries and early retirements. In the case of women it is worse because they dont even have the same contexture and physical ability as men (they also generate less interest and therefore less money) so if seriously dreaming of pursuing a career of this style as a man sounds silly, as a woman it is even more

>>281544329
What a twist.

>>281540945 (OP)
what's the gimmick of this one?

>Taizan5

You mean, another piece of shit?

>>281544419
Moonreaders, what's the manga? I'm assuming it's Slam Dunk

>>281544703
Yuri won.

>>281544935
>>281544912
This is also yuri.

This feels like a pretty blatant AU from Tacopi's universe, more wholesome and more justification for their physical violence in the previous series

Still, bretty good read

>>281545048
Kino

>>281545048
That's it, friends (and rivals).
Have a nice week.

>>281545079
This needs a movie like Look Back.

>>281545048
>almost gives up her dream job because of a non-career ending injury
Are all female athletes this dumb?

>>281545111
Lack of support too.

Why do the Japanese adore the concept of friendly rivalry? I know it makes for pretty convenient heel turns with manga villains, but I wonder if its rooted in the history or culture somewhere.

I don't think beloved rivals really exists in the US outside of retired athletes

>>281545079
lmao, what a story
It was.. alright, I guess? not really sure what to take away from it--competition is good? In some parts it felt like the MC was deciding her future because of the influence of this girl she'd never actually talked to outside of matches.

cute, the guy does good oneshots.

there is so little detail to the thing they're doing that it could be anything so I don't think the author really cares about MMA except for it being something that would be outlandish for girls. It seems very easy to read it as autobiographical for mangaka. Taizan would look like he was biting Look Back from Fujimoto if it was just that though.

>>281545111
I Guess “the implication” in >>281544030 and >>281544807 is that besides the injury her father (or mother) suddenly got sick and they called her to come back because they needed someone to take care of them. This hack always puts important details in the background as if they didn't matter.

>>281545175
I think it's something common in sports and in media with a competitive structure overall.
Bird vs. Magic
Federer vs. Nadal

>>281545226
>In some parts it felt like the MC was deciding her future because of the influence of this girl she'd never actually talked to outside of matches.

Yeah that was a little strange. Like, one was so aimless she needed the compass of the other's talent to keep going. So I guess the reverse is the talented one needed the unbreakable determination of the other to not get sucked into her family's misfortune. Cute idea, but pretty idealistic

>>281540945 (OP)
is it gay?

>>281545239
The characters are more relatable than those plot devices from Look Back tho.

>>281543854
I liked grandpa and grandma's fakeout. Where you think she's the kne with a degenerative disease but it turns out it's been grandpa all along

>>281545353
>Cute idea, but pretty idealistic
Like all shonen manga.

>>281545326
Yeah, I get that. But mangakas love to put this shit in any type of manga. There's always some weird underdog vs overdog routine where the better fighter is a flawed human while the worse idolizes them and is more well rounded.

But like, do people have rivals irl outside of sports? It's barely a real thing for the general public

>>281545437
Would this be considered shonen?

>>281545315
It was probably just the dad nagging her that she wasn't being a helpful enough slave rather than that he or the mom got turbo cancer. Taizan would have said it if it was that big a deal.

>>281545482
If you ask Rin about demographics he says Jump+ doesn't do that

>>281545420
It was a revelation that could have been very hearthwarming, but it had the bad luck of being placed in one of the most convulted moments in the manga, where it was basically a plot twist per week, so in the end it felt like "yeah, whatever”

>>281543234
it was absolute fucking gutter trash that exposed Taizan as a complete hack (dunno why Takopi didn't already do that since it was also awful)

>>281545111
>>281545315
I think it's just a lack of family support. Despite her talent, no one encourages her.

It's as if the world is against both characters, and they find in each other what they need to move forward.

>>281545507
Ichinose had that whole mess about the family having attempted suicide and they never ended up addressing it directly throughout the manga or they were constantly retconning the version of how the thing happened as they went along. Kek, there was a page involving a child getting kidnapped that never led to anything (in Takopi almost as well with Shizuka kidnapping her sisters). Taizan loves to put bullshit in and assume you know what he's thinking.

>>281545239
>Taizan would look like he was biting Look Back from Fujimoto if it was just that though.
When I saw this page >>281544004 I imagined it would be a tragic twist like the one in Look Back. Fortunately Taizan5, despite being a hack, is not a hack like Hackimoto.

there's a publicized series of jump+ oneshots this week
tomorrow is the aharen-san guy, then in a few days mapollo (pppppp/that magical girls thing that got cancelled)

Taizan is a master of short stories, but he doesn't seem suited to competing in serialization in WJ.

>>281546990
I miss mapollo every day

Was Shihei Rin editing Takopi? I'm wondering if this is Taizan coming back to his real dad after paper WSJ sucked

>>281543166
>First page is already miseryporn
What do you people like about this guy

>>281547021
well miss him no longer four days from now

>>281546990
>>281547021
Promotional image of her new one shot btw. I still Miss P6

>>281547023
This new one has no shock value, so......

>>281540945 (OP)
>mma
The recent MMA manga got axed in WSJ, why would this be any different if it got serialized?

>>281547043
IT'S NOT MISERY PORN, IT'S REALISTIC HUMAN STRUGGLING

>>281547023
>Was Shihei Rin editing Takopi?
I dont remember her name, but both Ichinose and Takopi were edited by Jump first woman editor or something, some theorized that Taizan was a woman because of that.

>>281547125
I don't see any potential for serialization here at all. Taizan doesn't show any signs of caring about MMA on a technical level like e.g. if dark hair watched a video of blonde hair fighting and commented on technique or something. I don't think it was a pilot for a serialization, just and old fashioned oneshot.

Rate the one-shot.

8/10 for me.

>>281547236

Why is that?

>>281543166
Weird how her family situation is never brought up again

>>281544149
Too scrawny, where are her abs

>>281540945 (OP)
When they announced the title a few days ago I was sure it was going to be a drama involving a skullgirls-like fighting game in an Arcade or something, yeah I guess this makes more sense.

>>281546990
Oh the Aharen-san guy? Thanks for telling. Any other notable ones?

>>281547469
>Her parents signed her up for Karate like she wanted
>They bought her everything she needed, unlike the blonde girl parents
>Not especially abusive beyond arguing
>Father was ok with paying for her college if she wanted it
We don't see how much they seem to care about their child's dream, but at least they don't seem to be too bad.

>>281545226
>competition is good?
More like:
>Having something to fight for and someone to count on is what keeps us alive in this shitty ass world.

>>281540945 (OP)
>masterpiece
Bit of a stretch.

>>281542838
God fucking forbid

>>281547702
Yeah I thought it was going for a purposeful contrast between their families, it's just weird the first page has them seem abusive or neglectful

god imagine how sweaty they get

>>281543234
I can barely remember what happened there. Just that they were inside each others dreams or something.
I can't even remember who was the "villain" by the end

>>281547822
I think the author used a more exaggerated tone in the fight to try to reinforce how insecure the MC was about everything. But yeah if you've already read Takopi the impression is that heavy shit was coming lol

so.... what's the message here guys?

>>281547715
>and someone to count on
I get it for the blonde girl, but it comes off as kind of schizo with the black hair one considering she’s basically projecting her thinking, goals and feelings into a girl she’s never spoken to in her beyond a couple of times when she was 6 or so

>>281546998
Literally Ashirogi

>>281548008
PCPbros..
Did the lack of anime make us fall into oblivion?

>>281548003
I would agree if she had given up after the blonde abandoned her career. But she kept going. The blonde was more of a motivation than a real obsession.

Is this like Takopi?

>>281540945 (OP)
Is it more torture porn?

>>281548008
The only things that lasted lingrr than three months were tanto (which they ended on their own) and PCP (which moved to anither mag and still didn't end by the time they get their anime). So they can only really last in WSJ

>>281540945 (OP)
Ichinose anime adaptation next bros!

>>281550318
Biggest hit among little kids in recent years!

I don't endorse enjoying "wasting your childhood and failing to live up to low-tier dreams" as if it's some fun story since they're desperately lonely and unfulfilled losers for it.

personally I don't recognize anyone offhand but Taizan, PPPPPPman, and Aharen-san guy but you might

>>281548003
the fact that they never talked despite hitting each other for a decade is what made me think this is just a metaphor for being a mangaka where the competition is distant and unknown and you "know" each other through social media at best

>>281544424
Why you hatin brah

Vinland Saga did it better

>>281546853
Could you not tell from the breakneck pacing?

>>281547236
I don't know, maybe a 4? If I had any drawing skills I could do probably do it better... it's not that hard to develop a shortform plot.

It has all the physical violence that comes with a Yuri relationship without all the extra romantic steps.

Is this Yuri?

cute tummy

Super basic desuu. Cool that its MMA focused though, anyone whos interested in a good MMA themed manga go read all rounder meguru.

>>281545175
Sengoku Period, Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen. They fought brutal campaigns against one another but neither was able to conquer the other, and after their final battle where kenshin almost personally killed Shingen, they actually respected one another and exchanged letters, and became friendly as much as two warlords could. Kenshin even cried when Shingen died.

The premise is like that football manga

>>281545079
Simple but nice.

Lmao guess he figured yuribait is the way to go now. Those tasteless faggots will slurp anything that caters to their fetish no matter how shit

>>281545111
Many take girls to be caretakers, when someone gets sick or is too old and lazy to do paperwork, they guilt their unwed daughters to do it.

cute

I really enjoyed that

Takopi should have ended with Shizuka learning karate and beating the shit out of Marina.

>>281556219
Shizuka for Tekken 9

>>281556615

Huh, that's super interesting. Thank you

It's inevitable if you're in a position of power.

>>281556615
Who'd win in a fight? Shizuka in ep 6 or Marina in ep 1

>Takopi again
lmao

>>281553856
The dynamic and messagge is basically the same too lol , guys are saying he has "copied" Look back but he entered a loop where he basically copies himself all over again

>>281554690
That's the reality we live in currently.
Why do you think Madoka, after over a decade of shitty spin-offs, suddenly is about to get a new, csnon movie?
They're going to revive all titles that have yuribait that never leads anywhere except teasing.

>>281543234
I remember it for how bad it was

Ichinose is great

Seems pretty normal one-shot'

>>281540945 (OP)
Because I looked at it, I looked at the author name and then I remembered that was the name of the retarded hack that made the The Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins which got to keep running for 48 fucking chapters while far better series died and instantly lost all interest

>>281558555
It’s ok if you didnt like it, It was a manga for the men of tomorrow

>>281540945 (OP)
I get the concept but it's just not very interesting when the two girls never directly interact.

>>281540945 (OP)
Is it yuri?

>>281547236
it was okay so 7? I feel like there could be some dialogue exchange between them at the end but I feel like that's the point. Two completely strangers who are connected yet never spoken a words to one another.

Well it's a story about finding motivation not about friendship or sports.

Man he really likes Marina's design, Tiara is a 1:1
