In case of Kimetsu no Yaiba, Promised neverland or Ansatsu no Kyoshitsu, the mangaka had a clear ending in mind and just told everything they wanted to. One piece focuses more on the adventure, and as such it can tell a much longer story. All the others had a very clear objective - be it Killing Muzan, killing kori-sensei or freeing humanity from demons. Finding the one piece is more vague, so it can expand with sagas to reach that objective that is not that clear how to do so.

Chainsaw Man is literally the only shonen I've ever read or watched that actually feels like it was planned from the get-go. Fujimoto said what he wanted to say, then dipped out. So, so many stories, particularly in a medium that highly encourages long-running stories, feel excruciatingly drawn out. Chainsaw Man feels like it was meticulously thought-out, so Fujimoto's only job during its actual run was to draw it.

[@andrecostafranca]

Yeah, people say that it was rushed, but I think it had exactly the time fujimoto needed to show WHAT is Chainsaw Man. Some people even think part 2 was just a jump push and Fujimoto wasn't intending to do it, but I think the mand knows what he's doing considering since the end of the series he said it would have 3 parts in total.

I feel like Chainsawman has been great so far because it fixes a lot of the problems that Fire Punch had around pacing and plotting. It feels much more straightforward, way less meandering, and has a clear and concise goal for its main characters both externally and developmentally. I think as a result it's much stronger since, in my opinion, Fire Punch was way too nihilistic to be enjoyable. Chainsawman tempers its cynicism with genuine empathy and care for its characters along with more humor to make the story a lot more palatable. It's been a great improvement on Fire Punch so far especially in the pacing department.

[@EEEdoman]

Fire Punch wasn't trying to be a shounen series at all though, its entire point was its nihilism. I still consider it one of my favorite manga of all time largely because of its highly subversive nature, trying its hardest at pretty much all times to drag away from the main story to become commentary on media and emotions, completely evading traditional story structure at seemingly all costs. Its definitely rough around the edges and its inherent subversive nature makes it really hard to digest, but I found it to be very powerful and wouldn't have it any other way.

@@EEEdoman I acknowledge the experimental qualities of Fire Punch as very interesting stuff to discuss, but I'm not sure if the rejection of common storytelling stuff actually served the story in any meaningful way. I also dont think it's a shonen at all, it's very clearly a seinen, but I'm more focused on the meta plot of the story (as you said the media stuff) and how it kind of overtook the story itself. It certainly made it different, but at the cost of hurting a really interesting premise. Especially when it started to become really meandering around the end.

[@0Clewi0]

I'm slightly dissapointed of TPN progression after the first arc but considering that was all that was pre planned it was clearly hard to write a weekly work while hidding hints so well (and actually made it an even more accurate Death Note's descendant and hope the next work does better. Sadly Jump's push to stop fan translations have made me harder to me to put the effort of getting into series one doesn't start in the first chapers (and after Sensei no Barrage getting axed while Nisekoi empty harem continued I stopped trying to get into everything as it started).

[@bernardocarneiro1982]

Like the other guy commented, Promised Neverland fell HARD after the first arc...from the beggining to the point they escape the orphnage,i couldnt stop reading!It was smart,intriguing,and mysterious,i was quite addicted to it...then they escapes the orphanage,and the series began to suck a lot,to the point i've dropped it and never read it again

Oda isn't an immortal vampire like Araki, so he has to die some day. If he doesn't find a good successor, One Piece could indeed die.

[@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg]

Plus, while I don't personally read the 20 year behemoth and mainly know stuff about it through cultural osmosis, aren't the Straw hats getting close to the final island where One Piece is located? I think I heard that at some point, anyway. And I mean that alone could be a massive arc depending on what's there (which again I don't know), but it does give the impression of the finale literally being in sight (if it is actually true, which again I am not sure of).

[@bodbyss]

@@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg They're extremely close. They've visited almost every island that has been namedropped to readers and hyped up, and the current island is the one that is geographically very close to the final resting place of the One Piece. The two current villains for this arc are two of the most politically powerful. As well as being incredible at combat as well, to the point where the marines won't touch them. We passed the halfway point years ago and we now might be at the 3/4 point of the entire story. We finally got a backstory arc of about 2 dozen chapters to go over the final years of Gold Roger's life and how the One Piece changed him.

@@niello5944 Ditto. The first arc was a well-done psychological thriller that still was appropriate for the shonen audience. A huge part of that was thanks to the amazing antagonist that was Isabella. After that it just became more and more engrossed into tired shonen cliches and actually became more stupid over time. And amazingly enough there had been many opportunities to turn this around and make it into a compelling story all throughout, but it just had to pick the dullest resolution for any plot point.

[@mega20able]

I've never seen or read the series, and I've heard it's really good for most of its run but the final arc was so bad it yeeted the fandom into a shitstorm and a lot of the people who used to like the series now hate it because of the ending. It incites some sort of morbid curiosity in me, was it really that bad? I think I even heard someone call it the GoT of anime because of the mostly good run but unexplicably poor last arc.

[@clearspira]

I worry for My Hero Academia. I fear that with the revelation that One For All contains the quirks of all of the previous hosts, this manga is going to go down the Naruto route of starting as a series where the characters were fairly low-powered and thus routinely forced to rely on their brains and tactics into one where Deku is a literal god with few rivals. I stopped reading Naruto mid-way through Shippuden because of that and I have read of many people who did the same.

[@jaydeep-p]

This is the problem with over analyzing, it removes the fun!

[@Laekith]

You should be worrying about the fanbase actually trying to get Horikoshi to retire

[@lucianobradley5996]

That's a fair point. But I'd just like to point out that, so far, Horikoshi has proven to be pretty self aware regarding such genre tropes (My favorite example being the Hideout Raid and the Sasuke Retrieval Arc parallels). Additionally, Quirks in general allow for more versatile powers than Naruto's mostly elemental magic type powers (i.e. No matter how powerful Deku gets, it would be impossible for him to ever beat Aizawa in a fight). As far as Deku becoming overpowered, I would say that there are enough overpowered characters and plot elements that would restrict him from becoming a God-tier character above everyone else (i.e. Quirk-killer bullets, Lemillion, Aizawa, Eri).

[@eashansaju8106]

I don't think the quirks he got are anything special, Black whip is a double-edged sword, Float is well *F L O A T* and Bakugo and All Might also said that the quirks weren't anything special.

[@doishooligan]

clearspira Yep. IDK if it's true but I heard that the creator of Boku no Hero Academia wanted to create a protagonist without powers, relying on hardwork and studying adversaries before engaging them. However the editors didn't like the idea. But regarding the overpower protagonists and scaling problems, a lot of shounen series end up suffering from it. Naruto, Bleach, DBZ, One Piece, etc.

[@merrick2792]

My biggest hope for future Shonen Jump hits is Act-age for sure. Act-age is telling a narrative in a more complex manner than almost anything else in the magazine. The Galactic Railroad arc is a storytelling marvel on par with the multi-layered narrative of things like Rakugo Shinjuu. Assuming that enough stock gets put in the series to allow a stellar adaptation, I can see the series reaching the edge of that top five threshold in a few years' time. I don't think it could ever truly break into the top five by virtue of it being totally devoid of any traditional action scenes (even The Promised Neverland has that in spades), but it's definitely one of the more exciting black sheep in the magazine along with Chainsaw Man.
