Shonen Jump Febuary 2010 Issue TalkBack

So this month's Naruto chapters are the end of the Gokage Summit. Rereading these chapters reminRAB me how exciting they were and how great the up coming chapters will be once the war begins. The initial clash of Hokage personalities, the attack by Sasuke, and then finally Madara's appearence only uniting the Five Great Nations really make for classic storytelling.
 
other than the silly text (it's supposed to be a "serious" text use something better than that silly looking font!), the picture of Luffy is really nice!
 
Even though I saw the cover early this month and decided not to tell you guys (hint: it was on the naruto SJ tcg site). But anyways could you tell us more of what was in this issue?
 
Man, I can see why everyone loved Bakuman. Hopefully that gets serialized - I'd love a more "mundane" series next to all the pirates and ninjas and robots and such.

Good art, interesting characters, nice writing... it's very relatable, too, which I think goes to show how - even between cultures as diverse as the United States and Japan - people are pretty much the same everywhere. Great manga. I'm a fan already.
 
Bakuman #2
Naruto #469-471
One Piece #545-548
Bleach #279-281
Ultimo #12
Claymore #85

The magazine gets even worse as there's no showcase chapter next month, leaving it with 5 manga, including the last preview chapter of Bakuman.
 
Gah, just three Naruto this week?

It's still 10:39AM where I live so it'll probably be another three hours before the mail man comes by my place. I wonder if I'll get it...?
 
Ichigo gets the big picture while Naruto, Clare, Moritaka, and Kakashi get small ones. The cover design is slightly different, with the small pictures (other than the top banner) being in rectangles stacked on top of each other and the big picture next to that section, instead of the big picture in the center and the small pictures in circles surrounding it.
 
As long as the Shonen Trinity continues to run in the magazine I'll keep buying, but they really need to stop shifting around all these other series and settle on a new mainstay series.

Well the issue with Bleach is that very little has happened in the last two years of the manga. Compared to Naruto and One Piece, Bleach's plot progression has been slooooow.

O-chan
 
It doesn't say anything about that...
Fixed. I guess I'm so used to saying "next week" about anime simulcasts.

Bakuman is a great read. It's too bad it won't be in the magazine after next month.
 
Yeah, well that's what happens when they get ready to ship the first manga book volume.

I also liked that Toriko manga, it's odd how the dude keeps on eating, yet he never gets fat. Might pick up the title in June to see how it unfolRAB.
