That Enigma sounds enigmatic indeed. Anime please.. it can't be worse than Beelzebub. Bloody repetitive gags all over the place.

Must be a bit of a kick in the old noggin for those people who buy Shonen Jump each week for HUNTERxHUNTER.
"Blimey. Not there this week, either. Crumbs." |

Main character is a middle-aged policeman? This has no chance of being localized. |

Could someone explain to me what the numbers mean??
Is it something like percent where 100% of people who buy Jump read One Piece and 32% of people who buy Jump read Gintama OR is it just the number of persons who voted? |

As I read it, the poll asked readers to pick one manga as "the reason you buy Weekly Shonen Jump". The pollsters then took the numbers of votes for each manga, and rescaled them so that the highest ranking manga, in this case One Piece, got 100. So Gintama got 32 votes for every 100 votes One Piece got.
This is based purely on the ANN article, though. I couldn't read the Japanese web site. |

Hunter X Hunter is still part of Shonen Jump? Are there news about it?

It's still part of Weekly Jump, if you go to the main site it's still on it (the Japanese portal website.) But, there has been no word for months and months about its return

There are a lot of people who buy Jump ONLY for Kochikame. Many of them are older people who have been reading the series since they were kids. It's basically hooked generations of readers. Part of the secret of its longevity is that it's really simple. It has no big storylines, and most chapters are self-contained. You can start reading from almost any of its thousands of chapters and understand what's going on. It's basically followed the same formula for decades: In each chapter, Ryo comes up with a scheme to make a lot of money or become famous. The plan does well at first, but then he screws it up, and things turn disastrous. At the end of the story Ryo is back where he started from. Also, in many chapters his scheme ends up accidentally causing ridiculous amounts of destruction and property damage. Most stories end with the police chief yelling at Ryo, along with a caption giving us an itemized list of all the stuff he destroyed and how much it will cost the city to fix. Also notable is that Ryo hardly ever does any police work at all (neither do the other characters, most of who are also cops.) The only explanation given is that Ryo's town is so peaceful that there is never any crime; the biggest problem the town has is Ryo himself. Ryo is basically the Homer Simpson of Japan; both for his bumbling, and because his series is one of the longest of all time.

That's a lot of manga. I only buy Bakuman and Naruto (not up to date with this one), I really want One piece but can't afford it for now. Maybe I'll pick up Nura in the future and I'd REALLY like Sket-Dance but I get the feeling an English release for that is near impossible (-_-)
