early trends are good:
It's apparently somewhat popular so far but it's never a sure bet when it's still so early. I'm really enjoying it too tho. I think it's unique enough to have some staying power.
Seriously? That'd be great. Fell off the anime but I liked it well enough so I'd pick it back up if it was part of the sj sub.
It looks like the 10 chapters before it changed magazine are missing, and like other new viz jump simulpubs there seems to be a gap between what Viz has officially released in volume form and where they'll be simulpublishing (looks to only be like 30 chapters though)
I mean it was never going to something hugely popular in the west considering the manga is about a niche Japanese art with no action focus at all and is mostly about the art in question rather than using it as a background for slice of life/drama.
I've never thought about this actually, and all I can say is that it works at being a manga about high school baseball with all the emotions and trappings of kids that age. It's not the best baseball manga, strategy wise or art wise, like Major and Ace of the Diamond, nor does it use baseball as a vehicle for character drama like Adachi Mitsuru's mangas. It feels like a story mostly about the atmosphere of the club and dealing with adolescent insecurities and the uncertainties of life during and after HS, while juggling trying to actually do baseball well. The baseball portion does get more in depth as the series goes on though, and it works as a showcase of character growth. I would recommend it.
They've not announced anything yet, we just woke up and there it was in the vault outta nowhere. All we know is something new is coming on ~9 hours be that the next volumes worth of chapters, the first 10 missing chapters, last weeks Kaguya chapter, or the newest chapter. Hopefully Viz will make an official announcement soon.
First 10 chapters technically aren't from Young Jump, that's why. They moved magazines and had a soft reboot at chapter 11.
That's kinda frustrating if true, shocked they'd simulpub Kubo San (which is great btw) but not Kaguya.
Might be due to mangaplus picking up Kubo, but not Kaguya or Kamuy, I guess.
I wouldn't count on 100 Girlfriends. Seven Seas has licensed that.
It all depends on the contract Seven Seas has with Shueisha. But if Shueisha planned that beforehand, then they could very well not have any sort of English exclusivity.
There is quiet a bit of content from the bit of the manga I read that the anime didn't adapt.
