this comment is fun to me because recently i started reading nisekoi... Now I'm around chapter 140, and I always had this question in my head while reading it: Why the author doing so much "filler" chapters in between it's story

The concept of the story is good, but the plot moves usually between 20 chapters of "filler"

Since I'm new reading shounen romance manga, this seems to be something common to happen. But I would like way more if the author focused more on the keys and the past between the characters, which happens once in 20 chapters

You’re going through Nisekoi too? Awesome! I’m currently on chapter 102, and I’m reading a chapter a day. I’m dreading to see how dragged out this gets, but I’m still enjoying it for now.

You know, speaking of game collaborations, how many have we had in the past? And which ones do you want to see in the future?

Among the things that I really love in my life there are: Weekly Shonen Jump and Nintendo.

So, I could sell my soul to get Super Smash Bros. 6: JUMP vs. NINTENDO.

Just imagine Naruto vs Sheik, Frieza vs Mewtwo, Cobra vs Samus, Luffy vs Min-Min, Ichigo vs Link, Gon and Kirua vs Ness and Lucas, Roboco vs R.O.B!

And obviously: Dai from Dragon Quest vs Heroes from Dragon Quest ahahah!

I know DQ games aren't made by Nintendo but Hero is already in Smash 5 so it is fine

They had that One Piece x Smash Bros collaboration once.

Yeah, reading it one chapter per day it might be a better way to approach this series

The author dragged a lot but there’s chapters that are really good even when they’re not focused on the main theme

Play Jump Ultimate Stars if you haven't already. Incredible game. I'd love for a new game in that franchise than the boring 3D arena battlers.

For all this anime thing, it's just a problem of slot available or not to MAKE the anime. All studios are booked up up to 4 years in advance anyway and staff need to find the time to align their schedule if producers want this person or this one. Some staff work only with these staff and not this one. Even if there is the funding, if they can't have a rooster of staff (the staff they want) at the same time, they can't begin the production anyway.

They need enough manga material, for sure, but they need the right staff to work on it if they want quality. With enough time for all the staff, coordinate all the schedules (some critical staff won't be available for all the year, so they have to coordinate with their other productions), coordinate all the process from preproduction to DISTRIBUTION.

It takes time to manage mutliple lines of processing schedules with a lot of variables.

And no, more money won't do the trick because the commitee members are keen to keep the most margin of profits they can for themselves so they want to have their share of investment the biggest possible regarding the others'. So they block others to put more money into the project to not dilute their own profits. There was a video on this, I need to find it...

I was gonna say how scarily fitting that sounds out of nowhere, then remembered Gakuro’s moveset… needless to say, it’d be fitting for multiple reasons, haha.

All pretty boring, which is a shame.
I think in particular Kiyoshi's art lends itself better to black and white.

Also Nisekoi... I'm still mad I got spoiled on that.
I was having fun reading it till that point.

No one posted this yet? It's been out a while though I only just woke up from a nap
Gorgeous background, anyway, it seems the pseudo break week did Takeru some good since both the LCP and cover this time were a cut above what we're used to

I’m trying to decipher through the pixels, I’m guessing these are Samura’s 3 retainers? Which would fit the theme of the page with their abilities. (also is there now a less crusty version, anything is better than nothing but I can taste the pixels on this one haha.)

Would you believe me if I said of the two versions leaked, this were the better one by far?
Here's it without the watermark if that helps at all. I've always found it obnoxious.

Yeah, from what I've seen the Makizumi are super popular online so hopefully this means we see more of them later
