The Best Era Of Shonen Jump Is Here

[@JohnnyStar]

What was the first manga you ever read? Mine was Naruto, got it from a friend on the playground in 6th grade⭐️

[@toxiccrusader4880]

Was always an anime watcher until I folded and read the jjk manga. Been reading weekly since Sendai ❤

[@UselessNinjaMan]

I honestly don't remember for sure anymore, but I think it was probably either Rurouni Kenshin or InuYasha, two anime series that had a huge impact on my adolescent tastes.

[@remotewinston8683]

Pokemon Adventures. That series is criminally underrated.

[@Penny_forum]

I actually grew up watching anime with my mom, she was very young when I was born, which I'm kind of grateful for because it means I still grew up with so much 90's content even though I came in at the end of 99. I remember watching Chobits with her first. The first Manga I think I read was this really twisted manga called Judge. I'm not actually sure if i finished it lol

[@Lostl1ght-pw85]

​@@remotewinston8683Pokémon black and white actually 😅

[@kairoskonquest1164]

I think we should call this era the “Renaissance Era” because it is a time in shonen where overplayed tropes are dying off and mangaka are returning back to the foundation of what makes stories so awe inspiring in the first place: fresh perspectives and original voices!

[@Black_Dragon_Official_Channel]

A lot of them still use the 'human vs strange creature that probably eats humans, while the protagonist is also one of those creatures' troupe tho

[@10buy10]

@@Black_Dragon_Official_Channelin a *good* way! Renaissance means rebirth, so it could also reference the currently big thing of taking old tropers and doing something cool with it

[@Black_Dragon_Official_Channel]

@@10buy10 I’m not saying it’s in a bad way, but I feel some people use it as an escape route so they don’t have to think too much for a good story… for example I use manga plus creators.. and I see a lot of stories that do it that it gets tiring But the trope itself isn’t bad, i think it’s just beginning to get overused

[@Black_Dragon_Official_Channel]

Besides, i love this era of manga but I still prefer the 2000s, coz we had series like Naruto, bleach, one piece, hxh, hitman reborn, gintama and the likes… this era has amazing and unique series but for me that time was still the best

[@mediumchicago_pizza]

lol man stop the cap, great series get axed left and right and u calling it a renaissance era

[@aidenmb7932]

Seeing people genuinely start to praise Kagurabachi feels so good as someone whos been there since the beginning

[@BigManBrad678]

Hokazono has been crafting a great story so far. Gotta read the few most recent chapters, but from Sojo’s appearance up until the middle of the raid on the auction, everything has been spectacular, especially considering it’s from a lesser experienced mangaka.

[@Pasuhdina]

@@BigManBrad678new chapters are some of the mangas best work! Check it out!

[@lukeskywalker8706]

Same. It’s getting the recognition it deserves without the memes

[@nacligang]

Our recommendation for volume 3 is looking like it might be Kishimoto so every day as a day one KB fan just keeps getting better and better

[@jacobheydari4859]

Same bro

[@CIII328]

I started Kagurabachi last Saturday; I finished 34-35 chapters in a few hours and fully caught up in less than a week. I hadn’t really seen the memes, but it’s genuinely an exciting read. I The power system is simple, but utilized and written very effectively and it’s only getting better with each chapter. The paneling and the fight sequences are beautiful; the series just has the “sauce.”

[@dantemwatibo3517]

Honestly at first I thought it was clickbait but you’re 100% right in that the thing that is selling rn is not crazy fights or anything it’s just having a cool, easily identifiable, unique style that people are inherently drawn towards. And I’m realizing most of the series that are still running that are popular have that and those that got axed don’t

[@staticityhateslife]

I just love the general direction that Manga and Anime as a whole are going right now. Its only getting easier and easier for artist to express and share their unique and amazing ideas, stories, and characters leading to a large influx of great Manga and Anime. Theres so much variety now that no matter what demographic you find yourself in, you’ll always have plenty of amazing works to entertain yourself with. Manga and Anime are at an all time peak right now and I’m excited to see how much further both will go.

[@DJMilez]

I've been putting off Sakamoto days for far too long. I'm convinced just gotta find the time now brother

[@dantemwatibo3517]

Bro you NEED to read this manga

[@ConversationswithCyle]

Hi Milez love your Chainsaw man manga breakdown ❤

[@anuragdas4605]

[@OGKingKunda]

Don’t sleep on it!!!! It’s AMAZING

[@JohnnyStar]

Shout to my editor for this one! Quinn knows how to match my usual style with his own. Brother is the best

[@SmoothCrimes]

@@JohnnyStar I thank Quinn then

[@toxiccrusader4880]

I love Kagurabachi! Always been a fan of those john wick / kill bill type action movies and from the first chapter I can tell Hokazono wears his inspiration on his sleeves.

[@snowflake4108]

finally someone talking about gokurakugai. i thought i was the only one. Great vid as always johnny

[@ClockwiseStuff]

Honestly I don’t know what this new era is but all of us find out together

[@Silvanor0]

Honestly Kagurabachi is an interesting case. Literally got treated as the Morbius meme when the first chapter released, then it actually got better and surpasses the meme status. Kagurabachi is Kagurabussin' good and will surpass Kagurabachillion in sales 🥶.

[@SadistSerpent]

I've been following Gokurakugai since it was a one shot. I'm glad to see it get recognition!

[@southmcwow]

The fact you put Gokurakugai in this genuinely makes me happy. I feel like I’m the only one reading it.

[@josephsurivong3192]

I have been waiting to come across a video like this for ages. Thank you for your services good sir!

[@ProceedBachi]

Kagurabachi is so peak. It's starting to take over Sakamoto Days as my favorite weekly action manga. It's so cinematic, it's crazy. My imagination goes over the top every time I read it. Please read it.

[@alexicon2006]

Its not that close to Sakadays for me. Sakamoto Days still slams in a lot of factors imo. BUT Kagura is STILL one of the best mainstream series out right now period. That is still undeniable. Its just that I think Sakamoto Days does a lot of stuff atLEAST just as good as KB, even tho theyre quite different in nature.

[@joseumana9254]

The fact that we'll soon be getting chapters of HxH, KaguraBachi, and Sakamoto days, published at the same time fascinates me.

[@zoly4812]

Love every series in your list! Those are definitely my favorites, never been happier

[@IkitheStiki]

Dandadan, Gachiakuta, and Sakamoto days are my top 3 new gen manga, peak just peak, very rereadable and entertaining

[@playfulwriter9796]

I see no one talking about Gachiakuta and it makes me really sad. I’m on Vol. 3 and I was planning on buying all the volumes to catch up but I can’t find them a bookstores and I can’t order online. I might have to pirate at this point cause I love story so much (I’ll still get all the volumes eventually)

[@helljoes]

same, gachiakuta feels like my love for soul eater got reincarnated I love it dandadan is like if I took every genre I have watched over the last decade and put it into occult nine (and no offense to occult nine fans) but made it really good and then had as a manga mind you some kind of "trigger" vibe both of these series I think have the best current character designs in SJ by far too, it's like they took all the coolest aspects of the golden era and forged a brand new dank like they're cross breeding strains 😂

[@averyjoleno3572]

GOKURAKUGAI MENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started reading it a while back and i loved it so much!!!! Super happy to see it here. Shonen jump has been releasing some absolute bangers lately

[@CloudyTalksStuff]

Ayy Gokurakugai getting some recognition🔥🔥🔥 (Dandadan and Sakamoto are peak as well)

Akane-banashi clears all these, which just adds to the argument of how good the current era is

[@alexicon2006]

Eh not really. Clears is wayyyy too heavy and objective of a term for something like Akane tbh. But thats just my opinion tho its still a great series!! Just that there are a lot better ones out there for me atleast.

[@SamTheGumMan117]

Akane Banashi truly is amazing

[@alexicon2006]

@@SamTheGumMan117 Yeah its definitely a fire series thats hella underappreciated. Truly a shame.

[@eastcoasttone3952]

Dandadan has been one of the rare moments where I've found a piece of media that just perfectly fits my preferences. I've been binge reading it the last few days and it's been an absolute blast. This might end up being tied with Chainsaw Man for my favorite modern manga series.

[@shiroberry]

woah the goat uploaded i love this editing so much!!!!

[@Kurostyle21]

Good video. I hope Dandadan will be a huge success.

[@whotfduece08]

For this new era. I think callin it like the "Revolution Era" is prob best. Its not like the new era where it uses the past goats to influence them but its mainly people making their own stories with lit influence from the classic shown series. Most arent about high schoolers with super powers, or funny gag manga or a silly teen Assassin trying to gain a personality, but instead unique stories that are inspired from different types of media. Its def interesting to see where this era goes

[@GreenwhiteblueGWU]

There really is a bunch of great weekly reads.. I too have my shonen jump app open constantly. Thanks for highlighting so many great titles.

[@DeeFig66]

I have been calling it: Dark New Shonen with titles like JJK, Demon Slayer & Chainsaw man that leading the way. I only know Sakamoto days on this list so I don't know if these stories carry the same vibes but maybe they do? Anyways, great video! I learned of a lot of new titles & I learned HERE that Sakamoto Days is getting an anime! :D So psyched for that! The battles are crazy!

[@Strawhat.Lachee]

very different from a lot of the stuff in this video but Blue Box is another fantastic Shonen Jump manga that's been blowing up lately. We really are in a golden age.

[@ConversationswithCyle]

I am so glad i get to be apart of this new era of manga being born in the mid 2000's i didn't really get to be apart of any anime/manga movements however reading these new gen mangas makes feels apart of something thanks for highlighting that. Also great job on using your platform to donate to Palestine.@Johnny Star

Always love your videos man,keep grinding bro. These are some of the best manga videos I seen

[@dannybuckboy6667]

I've gotten into Kagurabachi when its first chapter came out, and even with the memes that came with it. All it did was get me more engaged with the manga instead of just veering away from it like the rest did. And having already caught up with the recent chapter, I gotta say that I'm very glad to have been a day-one bachi-bro!

thank u johnny for donating to our people, so much love💗💗💗

Akanebanashi and Elusive Samueai is also soo good. An Akanebanashi adaptation would be sl hard to nail cause it would ask alot from the Voice Actors. Also Blue Box kinda goated fr fr

Gachiakuta isnt in Jump at all, pretty sure it's in Weekly Shounen Magazine which is owned by Kodansha.

Nah I think it'll either be kagurabachi or dandadan

it is funny because besides Kagurabachi you did not mentioned to 2 other that have managed to become mega hits, Blue Box and Akane Banashi, heck Blue box was the best selling new gen jump title until Kagurabachi came out. Also Dandandan is not in weekly shonen jump it is in Jump + online magazine where Chained Soldier, Spy x Family, Chainsaw Man and Hell's Paradise is in

[@91tvh09]

Bruh… samurai/assassin MC w/ a cool calm collected CALCULATED personality. Organization of sorcerers (the ones that instant cast like in JJK, none of that chanting BS or constant magic circles that mages do).. as well as special forces/teams.. unique elemental swords.. decent story pacing.. if u let ur imagination use the info we’re given, it all connects like how u read any story… WTF how can ANYONE not like this? Kagurabachi is legit… AND the MC looks cool AF! Usually don’t care too much for the MC and would choose a different character from cast as my favorite, but this is my first time the MC earned my respect as a definite favorite

[@pyneaple541]

5:58 The reason why it's not on the main page is simply because it's not published in the physical magazine. Weekly Shonen Jump is a physical magazine first, so it will promote all of the series that are in that magazine. Dandadan, which is hosted on Jump+ and is only online (except for volume releases), is not a part of that physical lineup and is thus not put with them. It is a part of Jump as a whole, but not the magazine Weekly Shonen Jump.

[@G59THCEmperor]

Here’s another 5 recent Manga’s that release weekly on SJ that are on par with these in the video. Dear Anemone Wild Strawberry Choujin x Shojo Null Astro Baby

[@paradiftshigm9643]

Thanks for the video . You are articulate and easy to listen to. It is quite rare for me to watch a whole video in that genre. Small bit of advice: it would be nice to see the title of the manga for ~2-3 seconds when a chapter starts. Allows the name to be instantly fixed mentally for the viewer when you pronounce it.

[@doriyu797]

Swear to God Kagurabachi is peak.

[@cwega2463]

anime and manga fans find a series that they enjoy a lot and have to overhype it as “peak fiction” and being one of the greatest stories ever written; and it’s just a battle manga with a hype fight of the week structure and some strong character backstories.

[@re_striker3431]

Read centuria, its only 10 chapters and its really good

[@claudiurevnic]

Great video, great food for thought It is definitely one of the most exciting times in shonen jump’s history. One word to describe this era could be: diverse. While the magazine has frequently featured some off-beat stories and some that weren’t standard shonen fare, it was still mostly action-centric shonen. In recent years it went beyond that. One of the top 5 most popular Shonen Jump series for 2023 is Akane-Banashi, a story set in the world of traditional Japanese monologue theatre. This is more of a slice of life series and centers around a female character’s mission to become a star of this medium. Also top 10 is the very satirical and whimsical Me and Robocco, which is as if taking Rosie the robot maid from the Jetsons, giving her the Crayon Shin-Chan treatment and with Jojo kind of tone/undertone. We have protagonists over 30s in both Sakamoto Days and in Kaiju no. 8, not only the standard teenage hero or in their 20s. Not only is Shonen Jump a collection of shonen and non-shonen material now, it also has reinterprets and spins the classic tropes and structure of shonen more than ever. Another word would be: seinen. I think the term is a lot of the times used very vaguely to refer to more mature themed but still essentially shonen manga and the line between shonen and seinen gets even more blurry every year. And I feel Shonen Jump now embraces crossing the line, keeping up with a more diverse taste in manga. Dan Da Dan and Chainsaw Man are very indicative of this. Sorry for the humungous post.

[@SamTheGumMan117]

Great cause with this video as well hopefully raises a lot

Dandadan isn’t on the normal issues of jump because jump+ allows full creative freedom without censorship. The same reason chainsawman switched over for part two
