[RayanOO]

Lol not at all

 

[Lee Ba Shou]

JJK is garbage

 

[Peroroncino]

not even close

 

[Toby D. Dog]

No.

 

[Usopp Haoshoku Haki]

Aight bffr.

 

[Indigo]

bruh, i love JJK as much as the next guy

but this series has a lot of problems

 

[Toby D. Dog]

Many will disagree, but there's 3 names that come to mind when thinking of who is the greatest:

-Miura
-Togashi
-Oda

 

[Indigo]

and a series where the good guys lose.

Give it time...

 

[ZenZu]

Lmfaooo I had to do a double take on the title, and I love me some JJK too.

 

[AL sama]

muugen I know you aren't being serious lol

 

[Devilbat]

My fav mangaka would be Hiromu Arakawa.
Fullmetal Alchemist - dark fantasy manga, amazing series.
Silver Spoon? Absolutely different vibe, still great (although I understand not everyone will be interested in reading about a town dude struggling through agriculture college).
Currently am reading her newest piece Yomi no Tsugai which is again, different from the previous two, closer in tone to FMA yet again different and very interesting so far.

What I really love about her pieces that they are different and still all of them are good. I used to adore Obata and Oba, as both Death Note and Bakuman are great mangas imo, but their Platinum End got me so bored that I dumped it. And Bakuman partially was more interesting for the topic, how the manga is made, and sometimes not for the plot. Still, both mangas are cool.

I also love Eyeshield21, so I searched by mangaka's names what else they have created, and while I liked Dr.Stone by Riichiro Inagaki and enjoy following OnePunchMan drawn by Yusuke Murata, I wouldn't say those are best mangas ever.

These are the only the cases when I didn't just read something because it was written by the same author(s), but because I specifically searched for staff they created.

Arakawa tops.

 

[notAfanboy]

No, but will I read more series like JJK? Yes.

No beating around the bush, straight to the point.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Lmao this has got to be a bait thread

he's one of the best, idk about the goatest tho

 

[Toby D. Dog]

Lmao this has got to be a bait thread

tis.

 

[сука]

is this an ironic thread made just to troll GoJob fans?

If so then the answer is yes.

 

[Owl Ki]

Well since I got tagged, I'll leave my opinion.

Lmao, feck no. JJK is the first and only major manga series that I actively dropped from sheer boredom.

First off, it reminded me too heavily of Bleach and Naruto which was a major turn off since I consider Bleach to be an utterly dogshit series.

Secondly, JJK fights are off putting. I read Gojo vs Jogo (these fuckin letter swapped names man) and thought to myself "Ok, I think I understand what happened here" only to be hit with a post fight explanation from the author himself that left me utterly confused. The fact that the author felt that the fight needed a post chapter explanation means that even Gege knew shit wasn't explained properly in the fight itself.

Thirdly, JJK designs are bland. Like painfully bland. They are the bran flakes of shounen designs. It doesn't help that the characters look like they had their names rammed through a randomised word generator that only knows 1/2 an alphabet (Gojo, Jogo, Geto, Todo, Hanami, Nanami, Yuji, Yuta).

 

[Goodman Grey]

For me it's Hideaki Sorachi. One of the most difficult jobs for a writer and especially for a long running manga is to come up with a good ending, and this man was able to create one of the best endings I've seen while also maintaining the quality of the manga from beginning to end.
And his art is also pretty good.

Thirdly, JJK designs are bland. Like painfully bland. They are the bran flakes of shounen designs. It doesn't help that the characters look like they had their names rammed through a randomised word generator that only knows 1/2 an alphabet (Gojo, Jogo, Geto, Todo, Hanami, Nanami, Yuji, Yuta).

To sum up: “I hate JJK cuz Japanese names are being Japanese.”
