Review: Weekly Shonen Jump no. 20

Last week I decided to skip Weekly Shonen Jump since it only had two stories that I review gracing its pages. Which was a shame because both stories were quite good, but I just didn’t have the time or motivation. It did mark the first new ongoing story from the last bunch of Jump Start titles, but more interesting is that this issue sees the addition of two more series. If you recall my ranking article (read: Comic Bastards’ Winter 2017 Jump Start Series Rankings) I placed all three in my top three. I did mention that I had a feeling that due to the art alone that Dr. Stone would likely be the one series to make it and that was true last week when it was revealed as the first series. No idea if that means it was the most popular, but it was the first to be published either way. Now, on to this volume of Weekly Shonen Jump.

To be clear, these are not official rankings, but rather my own personal rankings after reading each of the three chapters that debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump this Winter/early Spring/who cares what season.

First and foremost, I’m enjoying reading new manga. It’s just extremely interesting to me to see what’s new and if it can make it in the long haul. I will again be focusing on half of this issue due to trade reading and lack of interest… One Piece.

Much like last week I’ll be looking at and scoring the individual stories that I read from this volume. I will continue to skip things I don’t read (One Piece) or have determined I no longer want to read (RWBY). That said, it’s pretty cool to be checking out new properties. I have no idea if they’re even still going in Japan or how much of a difference there is between them, but it’s cool either way. With that, let's dive right into U19!

Review: Weekly Shonen Jump No. 10

This is review is going to be a little different. You see, I just got a subscription to Weekly Shonen Jump when it was on sale for ten bucks, before that I hand never read an issue. When I started reading, I discovered that several of the series inside were titles that I was reading in trade. This put me in an awkward spot because I don’t want to read ahead nor do I want to be stuck waiting for chapters over and over.
