Can we have a thread about this criminally underrated manga especially since we got 24 new translated chapters in less than a wekk. Who are the glorious faggots here that started translating it again after under the dog dropped it cause you are saints.
i started reading this on a whim few months back and was very pleased with it, i enjoy every chapter
Kayden Taylor
i only started reading it cause it was by the MM guy, was initially disappointed cause it wasnt what i was expecting but it wound up being one of the most consistently enjoyable experiences with manga, its just constantly upbeat and optimistic and when the drama does role around it feels warranted and not overblown.
The only unenjoyable experience with it, was having the scans be dropped like 4 times and constantly seeing the series almost get axed by shounen jump which it still isnt exactly out of the water with it.
Lucas Green
Man, I hate one direction but I was listening to their song when reading. It's fucking great, lastes chapter was so good. >tfw it's a real dancing move youtu.be/0_Enyi376pc
Bentley Morris
The one thing that makes me not want an anime is that they'll play one direction in this beautiful ass scene
Gabriel Clark
>the background characters are now the stars of the show
Reading through the most recent chapter now and I'm hyped as hell. Protagonists without any special abilities who manage to work hard and use what little they excel at to get shit done are my favorites.
Joshua Wood
What happened to Ballrom Yokoso scans?
Aiden Reed
I still need to catch up but it's really good Hard to believe it's the same artist as Molester Man and Kurosawa though
Leo Kelly
The new chapter is translated already.
Dominic Davis
THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL
Julian Adams
Oh wow, I was reading this and thought the art looked vaguely familiar. Good for him.
James Morris
They'd probably just play something that sounds similar instead of going through all the trouble to get the rights to the song.
Charles Johnson
Its astonishing this wasnt cancelled. I believe had jump not been losing so many long runners this would of been axed before 25 episodes cause its ratings were awful.
Angel Allen
It was easy, they were another manga that were doing worse.
Henry Nelson
Well yeah. If the long runners were still alive, the only survivors would from the last two years would be black clover, and probably neverland.
Charles Russell
It's kind of safe for now. Amalgam, Spring Weapon, Demon's Plan and Samon are getting axed before this.
Kayden Roberts
Yeah his art improved tenfold. The dance scenes have alot of detail and movement in them. He survived a year snd a half of shounen jump's axe ready cancellations and thats an accomplishment
Wyatt Phillips
>the way you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell >you don't know, oh oh
Despite how cheesy the lyrics are, they're pretty much spot on for the characters and the conflict in that mini-arc.
Daniel Hughes
>Samon Hopefully not Samon though.
Nolan Martinez
Samon is so much safer than sesuji. Shounen jump really pushes it and its one of the consolidated series on the line up. I think they have it for gintama's replacement.
Sesuji is sort of safe for now but it could get shittcanned if it dips again
Levi Diaz
That one's gonna take Gintama's spot when it ends. If it lasts long enough.
Everything's probably at a decreased risk at getting axed for as long as World Trigger stays on hiatus.
Ayden Perez
Saiki is gonna take Gintama's place and Samon Saiki's place.
Andrew Gonzalez
I really want both Sesuji and Samon to live to see a natural conclusion.
Cameron Turner
Well hopefully both get anime soon and around the same time
Ian James
Actually Sesuji was a success out of the gate, it's rankings only got bad in its second year. It did well enough to get 14 color pages in its first year. Its first ranking was 4th place and it got 2nd lace twice in its first few months. People tend to forget since it was a bottom dweller for a year.
Sesuji and Samon are on even playing field, neither one ranks that much better or sells much better than the other.
Caleb Howard
That would be the ideal outcome
Ethan Taylor
Sesuji got 5th last rankings, so hopefully it'll pick back up. Samon should have safety in being a gag manga especially since Gintama's ending.
Easton Sanchez
For comparison's sake, Black Clover got 15 color pages in its first year, so Sesuji getting 14 meant it was very popular when it first started.
Anthony Robinson
>BC anime announcement came a little less than two years after it started running
I'd like to think this will happen to Sesuji too, but making estimations based on the trends of an actual battle shonen seems like a bad idea
Blake Nelson
To be fair, it probably just slowed down thanks to the tournament. But that's over so maybe it'll pick up again.
Actually, they're ranking the Latin segment now so things probably picked up from there.
Jeremiah Gomez
Sesuji placed in the top five 12 times ever. 10 times in the first year and only 2 times in its second year which is still ongoing. And those 2 times were just in the last month or two, so yeah, rankings really have been picking up recently. The tournament damn near killed the series but finally it's recovering.
Hudson Reed
Just the idea of both having anime airing the same season fills me with overwhelming happiness.
Samuel Wood
wasnt the series consistently sitting dead in the middle for the most since the 2nd year started up, not the most ideal place to be but it would mean its in a safe spot until it dips again.
Still ill take this hopeful little note of it picking up in rankings that things are looking up but we really arent out of the water yet until we get blessed with an anime. all things considered if the manga were to be cancelled in the coming weeks this would be a very strong and satisfying spot to end it
John Carter
I adore how this series handles its romance, its not in your face about it and it winds up feeling like they are genuinly 2 hard working friends with something growing in the background of evolving into something more. Kind of like why i enjoy the dancing part of it 2 they arent speeding through things to make them gods of dance, right now they are good but still outclasses by most of the supporting cast.
Kevin Hill
You have to admit the lyrics work really well though
Brayden Howard
Yeah ill admit that it does kind of work for the scene.
James Scott
>new chapters of Sesuji and Ballroom
Fuck yeah
Christopher Brown
I hope the manga ends with them no longer being midgets.
Jayden Martin
Another thing I liked about the cultural festival chapter is that we got to see them dance without their hair slicked back.
Evan Allen
Almost like a cheesy song targeting teens discovering love applies to cheesy teens discovering love.
Jose Harris
>under the dog Underdog Scans was never good, this new team is miles better on top of being faster.
Kayden Davis
Fitting for a cheesy teen love that is still in its purest phase.
I wonder which pair will end up dancing to one of Taylor Swift's break-up songs first
Jayden Taylor
Nice asses.
Owen Cook
No sexualizing the midgets, boy or girl
Daniel Gomez
I think they look better without the formal hairdo, too.
Aaron Price
Sure thing sensei
Anthony Robinson
when will these 2 midgets fuck?
Benjamin Bennett
So...what's up with Kinryuuin's partner? She's clearly high off something.
A relative to Agiri maybe?
Gabriel Brown
It wouldn't surprise me, but she's probably a super ditz
Luke Nguyen
I thought the tournament is fine, the real downer was the training arc. It was frankly boring and I'm glad the tournament started. The guy really needs to plan better for the next training arc
Isaac Bell
As someone who loves pretty much everything Yokota's ever worked on, him getting into WSJ and doing reasonably well with his first big work in terms of popularity (meaning it's in no danger of being axed) makes me happy. I absolutely love this series too and the translation efforts to catch up with what's available means I'm getting a steady stream of new stuff. In a way, it getting dropped for a while by scanlators is a blessing since it means there's a lot there to binge through while still knowing you'll be getting a new chapter fairly quick due to playing catch up.
Doesn't that correspond to the current arc being translated? I guess I can see why (WHERE ARE MY DANCING MIDGETS and such) but it sucks because I'm enjoying this far more than I do other shonen tournament arcs. The Rio drama is great and Sakimoto is probably my favorite character after the two leads (and right above Hirari and Michiru-chan-sensei).
I kind of like how all of the pairs have vibes that can or can't be seen as romantic. Some are pretty explicit like Kashiwa's one-sided crush on Miyadaiku and some can go either way (Rio/Doigaki). I'm going to bet Hirari 100% has a crush on Yamaki too.
Lincoln Torres
Holy shit I was just READING THIS RIGHT NOW HOLY FUCK
Why is this so fucking cute? The boner in my heart is raging erect right now.
Samuel Carter
2016 was basically summer training and the tournament. Well, it's been picking up pace since they started ranking Ch 71 and above, so maybe something happened then.
Cameron Campbell
This isn't even his final form
Thomas Myers
Yeah still reading it user, if it undergoes Sup Forums radar just roll with it. The last time wo pin was discussed here there were blagrant trolls from that other current ballroom manga.
Jason James
>>Seishiji gets an anime >>Influx of shippers, Ballroom cross-thread posters, shitposters, and Frodos >>Actual discussion grinds to a crawl
Is this what you're really willing to risk?
Blake Ross
What studio could even animate this properly? It's not just ballroom, the Latin dances in this are supposed to be fast, at a high level and there's fucking loads of dancers in a small room. Good luck making that look good.
Tyler Allen
that's a really good point, dammit user
James Turner
They probably have to do it like slam dunk or captain tsubasa - basically the other participants vanish and the floor expands inexplicably when the camera's focusing on one player
Anthony Morgan
Maybe production IG or madhouse. But you're right. A good quality version of this can be intensely difficult without skewing perspectives.
Which brings to question, how's ballroom going to work?
Gavin Rogers
>each chapter brings a smile to your face It's like having the final chapters of his previous series but every week.
Leo Reed
Keeping choreography fresh, and be distinct in quality from amateur to other dancers who are good. Fug.
Camden Richardson
Everyone needs insulin user.
John Myers
They do Hatsukoi Zombie though (which is nisekoi 2.0 but still)
