I bolded everything I've heard of. It's wild how many Jump series have just faded into obscurity.

Edit: Ok most of the ones I've never heard of are comedy series or flops. It makes sense I've never heard of them before. Also apparently Keiji is illustrated by the Fist of the North Star guy which is cool.

Well, if we're playing who's older...

• Wolf ni Kiss Ch. 6
• Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin Ch. 95
• Shape Up Ran Ch. 119
• Kinnikuman Ch. 284 & 285 (reprints while Shimada was recovering)

It would be nice to review my birthday issue, but I already had a lot of problems with an issue of this period, so I think I'll pass. I'll just say that when I was born, Goku was fighting Nam in the semifinals of the very first Budokai Tenkaichi, lone wolf Ryuga was making his debut (meaning that Toki vs. Raoh concluded the week prior), and Orange Road's Madoka was kidnapped and tortured by a biker gang, definitely something that would never get a greenlight today.

I think @Inumaru is older, cause he was there when chapter 200 of Dr. Slump was released. So he's most likely eldest. Unless we got a secret member whos older than 40

I'm 40, but I started reading manga when I was 17, when they started publishing Kenshin in Brazil. Maybe there's someone who is younger but is reading manga for a longer time.

Something nice to note. All 3 PVs released for volumes this month have received over 100K views (Kagurabachi-172K, Nue-119K, Akane-144K) . I haven't seen that happen in a bit.

They're all on the Shonen Jump youtube channel. No real need to post them here, though I think Kagurabachi's was posted a bit ago(of course).

I may not be the oldest (nor the youngest...), but I think I got everyone beat in the cover game: a certain Space Warrior transformation for the first time.

Just a detail about the anniversary thing, a lot of these are probably inaccurate by 2 issue because the site seems to use "Cover Date" to make the math, problem is that the cover date is not the date of the issue release, for example, the last issue #21 was released on April 22 but the cover date is May 6, so the date covers are 2 weeks ahead the actual release, so this would be my issue based in the date cover:

Weekly Shonen Jump #39 (1992)
Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken - Chapter 141 (Lead Color Pages)
Silent Knight Sho - Chapter 4 (Color Pages)
Slam Dunk - Chapter 95
Dragon Ball - Chapter 388
YuYu Hakusho - Chapter 86
Rokudenashi Blues - Chapter 209
Shoujo no Kisetsu (One Shot, Color Pages)
Pennant Race: Yamada Taiichi no Kiseki - Chapter 62
Bonbonzaka High Drama Club - Chapter 6
Monmonmon - Chapter 25 (Cover)
Kochikame - Chapter 796
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - Chapter 283
Shin Jungle King Tar-chan - Chapter 222
Hana no Keiji - Chapter 123
Riboro no Takeda - Chapter 73
Baramon no Kazoku - Chapter 14
Magical Taruruto-kun - Chapter 188
Bakuhatsu! Uchu Kuma-san Tata Bear - Chapter 21 (Final Chapter)
Outer Zone - Chapter 37

But since the cover date is always 2 weeks ahead the real issue release date, the issue from my anniversary is actually the issue #41 of 1992:

Weekly Shonen Jump #41 (1992)
Chibi - Chapter 1 (New Series by Yoichi Takahashi, Cover, Lead Color Pages)
Dragon Ball - Chapter 390
Slam Dunk - Chapter 97
YuYu Hakusho - Chapter 88
Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken - Chapter 143
Rokudenashi Blues - Chapter 211
Silent Knight Sho - Chapter 6
Bonbonzaka High Drama Club - Chapter 8
Kochikame - Chapter 798
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - Chapter 285
Pennant Race: Yamada Taiichi no Kiseki - Chapter 64
Ozumo Keiji - Chapter 2
Hana no Keiji - Chapter 125
Monmonmon - Chapter 27
Riboro no Takeda - Chapter 75
Shin Jungle King Tar-chan - Chapter 224
Outer Zone - Chapter 39
Baramon no Kazoku - Chapter 16

The last Nue's Exorcist PV is, by a big margin, the most viewed video from the series on WSJ channel, pretty good numbers for a series supposedly dropping in popularity lol

Much stronger showing from Shadow Eliminators than I think anyone expected.
Not good by any means, of course, but to think it would even make weekly.

Also very happy to see Kagurabachi establish itself so early in the top 10
It's probably outsold Nue and UU's entire month in just 4 days.

First time Nue ranked above the 30th line, nice, gotta wait to see how Oricon will be but at least based in the cut of 15,750 Nue #4 would be outselling the last 3 volumes, hopefully Oricon don't put the numbers down

That's some pretty close numbers for MMA, SE and GGG, but well, too bad Jump readers can't appreciate a good sport series anymore, not really surprising, just disappointing, Terasaka deserves better.

UU always above Nue lol it's literally a Curse at this point. Well i guess it will do the usual 29k showing a very slow growth, kinda bad for the series.
Akane 20th kinda surprising (she ranked like 8th for his last volume the first week), i believe the top 20 was very stacked
