Board 8 > I work at Viz Media (Shonen Jump) now.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'll be writing articles for the website. I need to read a SJ series first. I'm reading Naruto and One Piece now out of neccecity, but I was given a list to pick my own out of: Blue Exorcist, Claymore, Rosane + vamp season 2, slamdunk, tegami bachi, and Toriko. Any of those real good? Give some feedback. And/or ask me anything. My specialty is anything involving the website.

Blue Exorcist was fairly interesting from what I read of it (the stuff at the beginning). then again a lot of shounen series tend to start out kind of interesting before they devolve.

Didn't you guys cancel Slam Dunk?

Claymore is great, but its future is up in the air.

Slamdunk is awesome, and everyone, not just you should read it.

Slam Dunk is like the best sports shonen ever

Toriko is slowly building up to being one of the big series

Have read Blue Exorcist and Toriko out of those. Really like BE, Toriko was somewhat entertaining but wouldn't really recommend it.

Why isn't Yu Yu Hakusho on that list? Best Shonen Jump series.

I'm reading Psyren.

It's ok.

Love, Bobeta

I enjoyed Psyren for the most part, the rushed ending was pretty blah though.

Yeah Psyren was great until the end.

Toriko and Slam Dunk are also great.

Well Rosario+Vampire II is probably out of the question unless you've read the first part.

Claymore is pretty good for the most part until it gets kinda strange, but that isn't until much much later on.
It currently "ended" in Japan, but supposedly it's going to continue on soon.

But it's safe to say that it'll be the one to 'finish' the soonest out of those choices going by Viz releases.

Blue Exorcist would be another good choice since I did like what I watched from the anime and it has the least amount of chapters out so far so it should take the shortest time to catch up on.

O brilliant blade of coldest steel, rend the infinite darkness and crush my enemies to nothing... SAVAGE WOLF FURY

Toriko is really great. I'm still hoping Viz will release the last 5 Ichigo 100% volumes even though I think it was unofficially canceled by them.

Claymore is the definite choice here, but how exactly do you guys handle the first half of that series being...not Jump <_<?

Man, I used to love that magazine comic whatever. But I stopped reading before they picked any of those aside from Naruto and One Piece up.

Ladders are a socially-acceptable way to reach your goals.

Claymore's kind of interesting if flawed in some ways like the pacing and the non-monster art.

Rosario's actually pretty decent for a generic harem action series after the genre shift.

Letter Bee is basically Kingdom Hearts delivers the mail with his pet tsundere and cries a lot, but some parts are kinda GRIMDARK. Pacing is pretty slow/weird the way things are divided up between volumes and takes a while to actually get started.

The only certain death in the universe is Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons.
Not changing this line until I beat Seven Heroes (2/24/07)

Toriko is amazing, you should definetely pick that.
