Sorry this is so late. Extreme fatigue + Scorching weather = unproductive me. A good ToC for me overall. AC continues to kick ass and take names. Speaking of, an Assassination Classroom OVA is gonna air at this year's Jump Super Anime Tour. I think some footage of the Nisekoi anime may be shown too, along with a Naruto OVA.  I had the chance to read Ginga Patrol Jako last week. Overall, I'd give it a 7/10. Had some funny moments, but wasn't that captivating. Oh, and something tells me that in the last chapter, Toriyama has a surprise for us, so stay tuned... 

Next week, One Piece is absent, as is Bleach - for 6 FREAKIN' WEEKS! Ah well, it's s Kubo can give his all for the upcoming War Arc, so if he needs the rest to make it a quality arc, so be it. Also, with One Piece and Bleach absent, next week's ToC is going to be VERY interesting...

Finally, I've chosen Kuroko no Basket as my Manga of the Month. I'll tell you a little about it and encourage you to check it out. If you have, and/or you read it regularly, let me know what you think of it in the comments!


Kuroko no Basket (Kuroko's Basketball), written by Tadatoshi Fujimaki, is about 5 legendary basketballers, known as the "Generation of Miracles" , who each played for a middle school team, but went to different high schools. However, there was actually a sixth member called Kuroko Tetsuya, who now goes to Seirin High, and now wants to help Seirin become the best in Japan, with the help of his naturally-talented teammate, Tagami Kaiga, by taking on his former teammates - one-by-one.

Kuroko no Basket has been serialised since December 2008 and so far has 21 volumes released, with sales of over 9,000,000 copies in Japan. Volumes have frequently appeared on lists of best-selling manga in Japan. The first season of the anime premiered in April 2012 and ended in September 2012. A second season is also set to air this October.

That's it for this week! Thanks for reading, see ya next week! ^.^

• One Piece remains in 1st
• Assassination Classroom remains in 2nd (based on 2 issues ago)
• Nisekoi breaks into the top 5 at 4th, from 7th (2 issues ago)
• Shokugeki no Souma moves from 3rd to 5th, still a great ranking

-

• Beelzebub drops to 9th from 7th
• Although Bleach has moved out of the bottom 5, it remains in 11th
• Gintama is 1 place above the bottom 5 for a 2nd consecutive week at 12th

Other Changes:

• Naruto: 6th > 3rd
• World Trigger: 7th > 6th
• Kuroko no Basket: 5th > 7th
• PSI Kusuo Saiki: 4th > 8th
• Soul Catcher(S): 9th > 10th
• Kochikame: 10th > 13th
• Mutou Black: 12th > 15th
• Cross Manage: 13th > 16th
• Koisuru Edison: 12th > 17th

A good ToC for me this week. OP and AC doing as well as expected. Bleach and Gintama continue their slumps. And overall poor first ranking from each of the 3 new series. That's not to say they won't improve, as we're already seeing it with Soul Catcher(S).

Akira Toriyama's new series starts this issue, and is also the start of 3 new series starting over the next few issues. I also expect Cross Manage and Koisuru Edison to make way for it.

Continuing with my Manga of the Month theme, I've chosen Kuroko no Basket. I'll tell you a little about it and encourage you to check it out. If you have, and/or you read it regularly, let me know what you think of it in the comments!

JUMP Issue #34

I had a brilliant suggestion from ahmadmanga to include the actual chapter numbers of the series that are ranked, so form now on... I shall do that. But for the series not being ranked, I won't include the chapter number.
