Psyren

New Jump Series, by Iwashiro Toshiaki.

!
Seems like an interesting concept so far. Reminds me of Digimon 02 without the Digimon.

Ichigo/Yusuke clone gets a card from a strange source, which when used teleports him to an alternate world, a post-apocalyptic world destroyed by current day pollution.

Art is pretty generic, but character designs aren't bad. The hero looks a lot like Ichigo. Other then that, I bet the series has potential. But it's hard to judge from the first chapter.

Go here for more.

a post-apocalyptic world destroyed by current day pollution.

Co-written by Al Gore.

rusashi

Well, I'm just guessing the world was destroyed by pollution, since there was a page about how the world was being destroyed in current day.

But I'm sure there's some evil shonen group who had a part in destroying the world.

There was also something about a meteor on that page, so the meteor might have had something to do with it.

Hmm sounds interesting, though I'll wait a year before starting it XD (got craploads to read ATM). BTW what are the author's other works?

Cap'n Carter

I bet it's that Shaman King fag in disguise

Strange_One

"a new era of manga is upon us"?

Something about the main character's proportions messes with me. His head is as wide as his chest >:

@Freeman-12:

The author did a series called "Mieru Hito", but it only lasted a year. Some people loved it, others called it generic.

Want to hold off on this too, considering its new and it could die several weeks after starting. That's Jump for you.

Decided to dig this up after reading the new chapter.

This series is starting to give me Earthbound vibes, what with PSI and post apocalyptic stuff in the future that has to be taken care of in the present. I'm sort of noticing that the main character is what Ichigo was supposed to be in the first place done right. Gotta love delinquent main characters.

I'm thinking it's an alright series so far. Kind of bland, but I've got some good hopes for it though.

Jedi Master

I like this manga, from the very beginning I knew I was gonna end up reading it. I hope nothing bad happen to it

rusashi

I'm liking the character designs. Well, more like the characters style, reminds me of Kubo's color spreads.

Only thing that could turn me off of these powers is everyone getting the same powers, instead of everyone getting a unique ability. But I'm guessing everyone gets something different, considering the glasses chick was carrying around a sword.

And am I the only one who can't remember any of these characters names? Lol.

Lieju

It seems like an interesting series, I will certainly keep following it.

I hope the psychic powers will be used in interesting ways. Even if all the characters will have similar powers, if they will use them in different ways, it could be interesting.

So far I don't really like any characters, but don't dislike any of them either.

Generic_Soda

I think Ageha is a decent main character. The drunk piano chick is pretty awesome too.

The worst thing about the recent chapter was the cover page taling about Ageha's "special power" being skateboarding, only to see him not learn how to shred fiercely on his skateboard.

Kudos if you get the reference.

Moria

Hmm… seeing as there's only 10 chapters up so far, I might as well just read it and see what I think. It looks like Onemanga.com is planning on updating it weekly too.

Edit: Holy crap... that centipede thing in Chapter 2 has a seriously fucked up design. I love it.

Well, if it's anything like Earthbound, it MUST include the following:

Hippies who attack you
A Trout-Flavored Yogurt Making Machine
Mr. Saturn
Fly Honey

If these are not there, then it is not Earthbound.

Moria

Not sure if anyone really cares about this series, but here's a translation and RAW for chapter 11.

rusashi

Hm, so Ageha is the too powerful to control type, and the dragon guy has good "control".

Kind of generic and predictable I guess. Ageha is pretty much Ichigo with black hair.

Though at least we know not everyone has the same powers, so that's good.

Gorlom

I wouldn't assume that Ageha is stronger just yet, it's probably more of a "he messed up and used another skill because hes no good at telekenesis"- kind of deal. At least that's what I hope it is.

Moria

I do think that these informative chapters are helpful, and good for the series, I'm just hoping that they go back to Psyren sometime soon.

rusashi

Well this chapter piqued my interest.

FIRE HAND!!!

Gorlom

what do you mean by "fire hand"?

is the 12th chapter out somewhere?

rusashi

yea on manga helpers.

There's 3 divisions of Psi it looks like, they include powers like pyrokinesis, and electricity control. The Dragon guy has Pyrokinesis, and made a fist out of fire.

Gorlom

ah but it's still the raw. =(
thought a scanlation was released =(

rusashi

Hey Ageha, you look kinda cool

!

rusashi

New chapter was pretty cool.

New characters, new game, and looks like there will be a cool twist involving the cat kids Uncle.

Cat Kid is pretty awesome though. I hope he makes it into the main "crew". Probably will get some kind of speed enhancing PSI. Not too fond of the Byakuya looking guy though, even though he'll probably be in the main crew too.

in other news, everyone has the same haircut in Psyren

Moria

Wow. My interestin this series is falling at a rapid pace.

rusashi

Meh it's only been 14 chapters. I'd say wait till we get a main group of characters established, and till we actually see some fights go down.

to me it's a lot better then some of the crap in SJ atm (Naruto and DGM are both failing pretty hard atm.)

King_Ty

i hated this until like chapter 7…its ok not all that but its just ok so far

Moria

Honestly, this chapter, unlike the rest, I just sort of breezed through, sometimes not even reading the text.

Rashou

Yeah, right now this series isn't the best part of jump, but I think it's decent. I've only ever been hooked immediately by one series in Jump anyway (Death Note). I didn't really like DGM until the first arc, so I think once we start getting the focus on the story instead of just seeing character introduction it'll be better. Here's hoping, anyway…

Gorlom

was there no chapter this week?

nvm found chapter 19… onemanga just hasn't updated it yet.

Accelerator

@Gorlom:

was there no chapter this week?

Read it here

And yeah,One Manga hasn't upload it yet.

King_Ty

i cant believe im saying this but im actually looking forward to the next chapter

Rashou

Man, this is getting interesting. I think the art style's slowly becoming more diverse as well- when Oboro first entered I had a hard time telling it was him and not Ageha, now Ageha's look is a little better defined. The facial structures are still very similar, but not nearly as bad as before.

Gorlom

Those bastards! Just giving us the battleplan and then leaving us with that kind of cliffhanger right before golden week…

Bastards!

Goldeneye

i like the manga…at first i thought i'd never read it..but i did lol...i have to much free time..
The ones' i'm paying attention the most too is this
R+V
Mx0
and Psyren
but i pray to god they won't turn psyren into an anime...cause it'll suck

Well i've read up to chapter 20... lol

anywhoo i want taht mask dude to just die alraedy... it pisses me off

Rashou

Dare I say it, Psyren has actually become something I look foward to every week. It can't replace HxH, or anything, but this latest chapter has me psyched for next week! I wonder what Ageha's power is going to be.

King_Ty

haha he has friezas death ball attack

TakeNoMe

Vol.1 is already out:

Possible homage to YuYuYu Hakusho…

rusashi

New chapter is out

And fuck is Ageha's power awesome. He swings around a ball of matter with his mind, and looks like he can make it do whatever the fuck he wants

Toshiaki has NOT failed with powers yet. Well, I guess Amimaya's are kind of lame, but who knows what else she can do.

But making dragon parts with your mind and swinging around some giant black sphere is awesome.

This shit better not get cancelled

Impel Down

Amimaya's PSI is just basic PSI so far, not anything as far as her personal "powers"

she'll get something better later on

probably

Warehouse training…. huzzah!

Jedi Master

Thats obviously obvious thing that will happen (since in Shonen's, and not to mention even some sport manga), always have a trainging part after a mission (but I wonder what will happen next in round/chapter 3)?

The little but of comedy in this manga is kinda good also

Gorlom

but I wonder what will happen next in round/chapter 3

I'm interested in what will cause the random newbies to wander off to their death.

The celebrity guy won't be causing that this time around so people are most likely going to listen to the guys with experience…

LilyCross

Mmmh, maybe no one cares anymore but…
I really like the concept so far. Training parts don't take too much space, pace is quite good. Actions are a little packed up, but I like it this way. The fighting concept... is strange, yet surprisingly interesting.

! In the last chapter, we're finally getting to know what happened to the world in the past (present… whatever XD)
So… the story is slowly taking its place. Maybe a little cliché, but I'm definitly looking forward this manga

Dark Lord Zenigame

The story was getting kind of slow during the mainchara's training, but now it's really picking up…

...I have to say, I felt sorry for the cat-looking guy when he saw what happened to his uncle in the future...

Capt Haggis

Heh I must be the only person on these forums who likes training arcs. Oh well dare to be different.

Yeah though he seems to be getting over his denial now. Right now my question is how far into the future they are, The body was extreamly well preserved (compared to the rest of the planet) and I wouldn't be surprized if it was within 10 years.

Edit: and it was 10 years! Go me!

Gekko135

think i'm gonna dig up this thread for a moment…

just read ch 42 and I think i'm starting to like this series a lot more than I previously did. Glad to see more characters developing their personalities and psy (like kabuto... glad he's come around now). And I gotta say i'm really impressed by the main character's new technique. pretty cool.

definitely picking up
