They did a lot of work on this. Reminds me of those Crimson Comics dojinshi that had 'motion' similar to this several years ago.

It is interesting and will make readers take a longer look at each page.

It's too bad that they can't do that on paper, at least not yet. Razz

That's an awesome feature. Too bad it is used on such unawesome things.

I would be nice if action scenes follow suit in the future.

Boys. We spend 9 months trying to get out, and the rest of our lives trying to get back in again. Japanese boys must not have gotten to much breast feeding in their infancy. This is like the comic equivalent of the UK's Sun tabloid newpaper that has the unbiquitous "page 3" where some young buxom female bares her buxxoms for the reader a different buxom every day.

Sweet Jesus, that is one spicy manga. Do they really put this in the same magazine as Naruto and One Piece? If so shonen jump would have been my favorite thing ever in high school. lol

Manga is evolving people, it starts off as oppai physics, then later down the road we get blood spewing effects, I'm calling it.

I love the hot color issues! But their online reader seems buggy. Sometimes you can't proceed and have to reload from the beginning. Maybe it's just overloaded from this news Laughing

Not originally in their print magazine. It's serialized in Jump Square while One Piece, Naruto, et. al are in Weeky Shounen Jump. But now with Jump Plus, you can say that they're in the same mag online. However, in the past WSJ has had ecchi, ero-romcom like Ichigo 100% and I''s.

Of course this is all on the Japanese side and irrelevant to Viz's US print or online Jump efforts.

At least you guys have that. Nipples in the mainstream view would cause such an uproar in the US where it is seen as strictly adults-only, and actually criminalized if shown in public. It is not hyperbolic to say that bare breasts are still thought of as pornographic by most Americans. Even feminists think bare breasts are pornographic when designed for the "male gaze".

To be honest, I find this depressing. I admit that I'm not a fan of fan-service-laden series like this (ironic), but the thing that really gets to me is that this is the same artist that did Black Cat, and that series was awesome. I know that the main story was finished, but I really think there was more that could have been done in that world, especially with all those fun characters. However, he instead chooses to draw this nonsense (it probably pays more, is my guess).

I'm not here to get all preachy about what one should or shouldn't enjoy, but it can be a little frustrating to see a good artist shift into making things one doesn't care for, especially for so long.

WALL STREET JOURNAL??? Oh... oh... took me a second to get to the right acronym. For a second, I thought there was something I didn't know about the stock market.

You never know. Forbes actually has a blogger that writes about games. Only found out about that during the GamerGate thing.

Maybe I am one of the few men who can do think without his dick, but only one specific part of the comic moving looks absurdly distracting and honestly incredibly stupid.

More reasons why print is far superior.
