I got my new issue on the 8th. One Piece was pretty good this issue (and the others as well). It's a shame that 4Kids's dub cut out the stuff that was in the "Spin, Pinwheel" chapter of this issue. This chapter was very important; it showed everybody celebrating Arlong's defeat (even though they did some in the previous chapter), Johnny and Yosaku officially leaving, and why Mr. Genzo wore his pinwheel.

D.Gray-Man looks good, but is there a reason they grabbed outta chapters 2 and 3?
Prince looks good too, I'd start that, if it wernt already so long. Other than that, everything was good. One Peice seems like it'll get good. Naruto too, but I'm most looking forward to the next arc of Shaman king.

Just got the new Shonen Jump issue (May 06) today. From what I read...

One Piece- Great- it has three chapters in it. Smoker's name is replaced by Chaser! First Cocoyashi Village being changed to Coco Village, and now this! Spoiler:

Also, in the next issue, Chapter 100 will Spoiler:

Oh, and they didn't show the results of that One Piece contest about filling in the speech bubbles in the Chapter 98 panels.

Naruto- Also great. Not too much happens in this issue, but we do get to see the debut of Spoiler:

, especially in the next issue. Spoiler:

returns, and there is also a brief appearance of Spoiler:

Hikaru no Go- Pretty good. The greatest thing in my opinion was Spoiler:

By the way, can somebody tell me the name of the girl insei that was with Hikaru and the others?

Yu-Gi-Oh- Pretty good. Spoiler:

Just to warn you guys, this arc is still far from over, especially with a rate of two chapters a month.

That's all I read so far.

Oh, and about what I said about Smoker's name being changed to Chaser... BELATED APRIL FOOLS! (I wonder if anybody believed me...)

Lord Lonic · 5th April 2006, 7:58 PM

Thank god they didn't change Smoker's name to Chaser. I'm guessing alot of fans had sent death threats to them. Then again, they didn't go back and change Gin's name to Ghin.

**Korobooshi Kojiro** · 27th April 2006, 12:56 AM

New issue:

Subscribers get GX stickers!

Besides that, nothing special except a short preview of Eyeshield 21.

Next issue has a DBZ chapter.

**Rex Kamex** · 27th April 2006, 2:37 AM

So, who was on the cover this time?

**Korobooshi Kojiro** · 27th April 2006, 3:13 AM

Naruto....gawd, is it me or is Naruot being pimped by Shonen Jump, and Cartoon Network?

Yu-Gi-Oh was the big man on campus, but now with his manga and anime coming to a close in the U.s., Naruto is the new heavy hitter.

Yami's been gone for a while, so if he ever came back on a cover, I wouldn't care. Man, I wonder how long it's gonna take before people get sick and tired of Naruto...

**Kecleon Freak** · 27th April 2006, 9:57 PM

Probably quite a while. I always dreaded Naruto coming to America because I knew it would be the next big cash cow, and the manga and anime would be shoved down people's throats like there was no tomorrow. Guess my prediction came true.

**Mimori Kiryu** · 16th May 2006, 4:55 PM

Well, I'm not surprised at Naruto being the next big cash flow. :/ It's like they're trying to hipe it up like Dragonball Z was and still is. I don't understand why people keep pushing anime on kids....;; They'll only be hated at their schools..

**Rex Kamex** · 3rd June 2006, 10:14 PM

^ Depending on the schools. Or they're mainly trying to push certain animes and not anime in general. (I've heard more people mention DBZ, Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh, and/or Pokemon more than anime in general.)

Anyway, I just got my July 2006 issue of Jump, and here are the details for the cover, DBZ, One Piece, Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh, Hikaru no Go, and the next issue:

It may be funny, but what I find more entertaining than the funnyness is that it is just soooooooooo idiotic and stupid and is something that nobody outside of Japan could come up with.

**Rex Kamex** · 17th July 2006, 2:15 PM

Man, I hate how everytime a manga gets a color spread, the following chapter titles are removed from the magazine. That's why I've lost track of what's been happening in the Koby/Helmeppo side story in One Piece.

**moonstone** · 29th July 2006, 12:01 AM

My favorites are Shaman King and Naruto. Honestly, although I feel like Naruto is being overly-promoted, I don't mind. It's pretty good, if you ask me. Hikaru no Go is ok... I don't know, a board game...? Still, it's not bad. Just not something I would really be intersted in if it weren't in the magazine. One Piece is ok... it's funny, and it's light.

**MEWTWO_PWNS_YOU** · 31st July 2006, 5:31 AM

my new unity card is so cool

**-Sonansu!-** · 31st July 2006, 2:35 PM

Ouch. Disturbing lack of Shaman King talk in here, a.k.a. the most underrated manga running in the magazine as of yet. :P I'm looking forward to seeing what Anna learns about Hao in the upcoming chapters.

I don't know about you guys, but I think Zombie Powder is WAAAAAY more awesome than Bleach. I'm surprised Bleach became more popular than it, but that's probably because ZP stopped at four volumes =/ It has what Bleach (IMO) lacks: Cool characters, inventive weapons (a flippin' chainsaw sword!), great battles, more of a detailed art style, etc.

And when the hell is Viz finally gonna serialize another manga in the magazine? All we get now since DBZ left are previews. Previews are well and good, but no one has enough money to buy every manga that is previewed in the mag.

Plus, didn't Viz say in one of the first issues that when their circulation got higher they could serialize more manga and probably make the cost of the magazine cheaper? If so, why aren't they doing that? I'm sure their circulation is much higher now, every grocery store in my area has at least one SJ issue.

**Korobooshi Kojiro** · 31st July 2006, 3:46 PM

A rumour is Gin Tama will get serialized, as the puzzlie in this issue spells out "Gin is coming".

And Yugioh GX has been confirmed to start at the end of the year as well, but it will have one chapter per issue as they are only up to Chapter 7 in Japan as it's a monthly manga.
