Manga comparison thread

1. Berserk
2. One Piece
3. Bleach
4. Naruto

Shitty week, Berserk was the only good chapter (It's not just a matter of it being the best, it's the only chapter I really liked honestly).

Well Berserk is the only chapter that's worth rating this week.

1. Toriko
2. One Piece
3. Naruto
4. Bleach

Ahhhhhh Toriko. Homoeroticism, boundless optimism and intriguing plot developments. You do know how to show a gal a good time.

Having FINALLY caught up with it, HSD easily takes first place this week for a buildup to a climactic showdown!

I have no idea what that is......

History's Strongest Disciple perhaps? It's pretty awesome.

I checked that out and by the looks of things the only climactic showdown thats being set up is the volleyball tournament.

Sales chart!

Top 10 Shonen Jump manga (and only ones from Jump) of all time:

And Here is a chart of the top 50 selling manga creators over the last 2 years.

Then Here is the volume charts for '11. OP, unsurprisingly, is 4 of the top 5. Naruto has a lot of high-ranking volumes too. Bleach doesn't show up until 18.

Of major note in the past-2-years chart: Fairy Tail passed Bleach.

Love One Piece but not nearly as much as Japan.

They should feel ashamed of the Fishmen Island Arc. Glad to see it went down in sales as the story progressed.

Man, this reminds me, I need to get around to reading/finishing Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Yea, though it's still crazy high.

Actually, I'm not sure how much of that is sales decrease and how much of that is the earlier ones having more time to sell.

[list=1][*]Bleach 516: 9/10
[*]Naruto 609: 8/10[/list]Strong week.

Bleach. We got some information about anomaly of broken Bankai, Kon is back, and we got introduced to the zeroth division, all of which have a unique design.

Naruto. I liked Kyūbi throwing Kakashi at Obito, and the tag teaming that followed, and the Jūbi is loose.

1. Naruto
2. Bleach

It's not likely that Toriko will be better than Naruto because Naruto was very strong this week. But Bleach was snoreful, so obviously it'll kick its ass.

1) Fairy Tail -Villains weaponizing Friendship!
2) Naruto
3) Bleach

Pretty easy ranking this week. All that remains is seeing if Kenichi can beat them(doubting Naruto, Bleach perhaps).

Really liked Kenichi but it was really just pairing up the characters for battle. Really not looking forward to Miu once again kicking Rimi's ass.

One Piece was Caesar saying things we already knew. The only things noteworthy from this chapter were the reveal that DoFlamingo was in league with a Yonko(probably Kaido) and that Luffy punched Caesar. I was bored honestly.

Naruto had action and I loved the interaction between Madara and Obito. And the Juubi is just creepy. Not all good though while as I liked the idea behind the final move there, the execution felt a bit sloppy and it was hard to tell what was going on at times.

Bleach was relatively simple, giving us the 0 Division and telling us their next move, with the chapter ending on an interesting cliffhanger. The only real Division 0 guy we didn't see much of was the afro guy, which is a shame because he seems cool. And I actually like all of the guys as well, particular Bonze and Shutara. I just liked it lol.

Only a matter of time before the two come to blows eh? That would be awesome.
Obito's getting really impatient and wants to 'end' the world with Infinite Tsukuyomi; Madara apparently wants a perfected Jūbi and is willing to delay the Infinite Tsukuyomi for this. Makes me wonder if Madara does truly want to genjutsu the entire world, or if he wants to seal it in himself, like the Sage of the Six Paths.
