The newest chapter is here.

http://manga.redhawkscans.com/?manga=Beelzebub&chapter=Chapter+107#page=1

! Interesting moment as Oga declares himself to be Beel's parent. I guess we won't be seeing him trying to dump Beel anymore.

Too bad they didn't have Furuichi say "Gigadean!" like he did in the chapter.

I believe babu is short for beruzebabu, which is how the Japanese pronounce Beelzebub.

Dororon Enma-kun Meramera:

Saggy grandma titties, a giant demon boner, and an OP by Masaaki Endoh. That's basically how I remembered the first episode. If you're ignorant like me, then you probably don't know that this is a remake of the original anime that was based off the manga created by Go Nagai. It's fairly entertaining and the characters are fun, and the overall production quality is good. At the very least, I'd say it's worth checking out.

Just watched the most recent episode. I can't believe that made Toujou's long-awaited debut to be in a filler episode. That's just terrible.

@Kaba:

Highly highly unlikely that the birdman will show up out of nowhere and just tell the crew how to make it cry. You're giving those banana beaks way more credit than they deserve.

Actually, it won't be out of nowhere, since we just saw a decrepit birdman attack Komatsu in the previous chapter.

Hodi Jones is not his real name. Instead, it is actually Ho D. Jones.

@Silverblade:

Tamura is certainly a young and inexperienced artist. But the emotions he draws. Damn. I might be reading this manga just for the faces.

Tamura may be inexperienced, but he's actually almost 31, so he's not really THAT young.

I never really expected Luu to be anymore than a cute sidekick. My guess is that she ends up being the "child" of the group since it appears she sees Emma as a kind of "mother figure."

Nice chapter. So… I'm guessing the way to make the Sphinx cry is contained in the book? Either that or the birdman is gonna show up and show them how to make it cry.

@goty:

Dude, the opening has Akira Kushida, that's as manly as it gets.

Wait, they're using that OP for the actual anime?? I thought it was just for the crossover with One Piece. In that case then I'm relieved.

I suppose if you ignore the filler episodes and just focus on the canon stuff, it's passable. But overall I think Beel deserved much better treatment than what they're getting from Pierrot.

@kewl0210:

This is apparently the ED song for Toriko that'll start next week:

It's soooo awesome. I love this song.

The song's kinda meh. I was hoping for something manlier than a bishonen kpop band, though I guess that's pretty unlikely to happen. Also, it seems kinda uncommon for an ED song to be revealed before the ED itself.

Nice to see Beel bounce back after a bad week. And here's hoping that the launch of the anime will put Toriko into a permanent spot in the top 5.

@Renegadesoul:

Dois Sol
Meruhen Ouji Grimm

Are these new series?

Yes. Dois Sol is a sports manga and Meruhen is a gag manga.

The only good thing about the new op is that Furuichi's in it. Otherwise it sucks. The ed was kinda weird, with Hilda dancing and all, although I do like it more than the first one.

Nice to see some actual plot progression this chapter.

! Didn't expect Forcas to look like that.
BTW what's a chopag/gchipac??

Beel in the bottom 5? I blame the shitty anime filler.

It'll be funny if One Piece and GOD turned out to be the same thing.

@choperman:

oh yeah I wanted to ask something, I reread the series and saw this

http://www.mangareader.net/222-57723-15/beelzebub/chapter-78.html

so my guess is that because it went from tattoo to that one shining symbol it means the shining symbol is stronger than the black tatoo

so basically (with my train of thought) this
http://www.mangareader.net/222-37705-18/beelzebub/chapter-35.html
is greater than this
http://www.mangareader.net/222-57194-19/beelzebub/chapter-75.html

what do you think?

Well according to this

http://www.mangareader.net/222-15811-11/beelzebub/chapter-6.html

the tattoos are an indication of how in tune Oga is with Beel. To me, the shining symbol seems to be a display of "energy" right before the user unleashes the attack.

So perhaps the tattoos show how strong the contractor is, while the shining symbol shows how strong the particular attack is? In other words, I don't think you can really compare which one is greater since they are indicators of different things.

One of the recent new series in WSJ.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/magico_iwamoto_naoki/
http://manga.redhawkscans.com/?manga=Magico

It's about a girl, Emma, who is cursed with the power to destroy the world, and the only way to seal it is to get married with the hero, Shion.

I was kinda surprised by how much I liked it. And according to the cover of chapter 3, it's supposedly garnering some good support from the Jump readers. I'm looking forward to seeing where this one goes.

Anybody notice the beginning of the intro was slightly altered? The part where there was an erupting volcano was taken out and replaced by clips of Beel from previous episodes. Probably got something to do with the recent volcano eruption in Japan.

@RPGJay:

I'm aware they haven't cemented themselves in the magazine 100% due to them being new and all, but as far as I'm concerned if they aren't color pages they count for the time being.

Though your statement seems to imply that this is just a matter of how people perceive it. I'll stick with my stand of Bleach being in 7th place.

Check the very first post in this thread.
@Jacko:

The most of you, who read Bakuman should know how this works.

Important notes:

• italic names means that mangas are set by the editors
• the first real ranking for new mangas is chapter 8
• PTF Jaguar is nearly always last
• Full TOC usually appears on wednesday
• Bottom 5 usually appears on sunday

@choperman:

that missing page is pissing me off

It's been fixed.

http://manga.redhawkscans.com/?manga=Beelzebub&chapter=Chapter+100&page=11#page=11

Looks like Shimabukuro pulled a Togashi there. :ninja:

@MarcelloF:

Still, Beelzebub is 4th place then. I'm surprised by this. Chapter 92 wasn't bad, but better chapters were ranked worse

I'm guessing that had something to do with the start of the anime.

Can't wait for Toriko! Also looking forward to Ao no Exorcist and Deadman Wonderland. I haven't been following those mangas for a while and this'll be a good way to get back into it. Probably gonna try Sket Dance as well.

On a related note, they had a survey for the most anticipated animes this spring:

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2011-03-04/new-april-tv-anime-survey-for-people-who-cant-wait

I was kinda surprised how low Toriko was on that list.

Spoilers for chapter 99

!
! http://www.mangahideout.com/content.php/66-Beelzebub-99-Spoilers?
! Looks like Oga's fighting a faceless Beel-lookalike. :blink:

Chiaki did use airsoft guns in that particular scene, then switched to paintball guns in the fight with MK5.

http://www.mangareader.net/222-15818-13/beelzebub/chapter-13.html

Chapter 98 is here.

http://manga.redhawkscans.com/?manga=Beelzebub&chapter=Chapter+098&page=1#page=1

Seeing how no one's posted this yet, I suppose I'll do it.

Issue #13:
Magico (Cover, New Series)(Lead CP)
Naruto
One Piece
Gintama
Bleach
Meruhen Ouji Grim a.k.a Prince of Fairy Tale "Grim" (CP)
Enigma
Kuroko no Basket
Bakuman (CP)
Dois Sol
Toriko
Beelzebub (CP)
Medaka Box
Inumaru
Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn!
Sket Dance
Kochikame
Nurarihyon no Mago
Oumagadoki Doubutsuen
Hokenshitsu no Shinigami

Issue #14: SENGOKU ARMORS by Sakaki Shouta = historical/battle manga

So with Light Wing gone, Hokenshitsu takes over last spot.

This chapter reminded me of that South Park episode where they were playing World of Warcraft. Hilarious. Especially the part where Nene thought she died.

@RobbyBevard:

Eiji has already called out the big weakness we spotted last week. Nanamine might get a solid idea from committee, but he's not going to make any sort of unique stand out voice like that. One you get past the premise there's not going to be anything personal or interesting there, and substance outlasts flash every time.

Kubo is living proof that statement is false.

Chapter 96 is out

http://manga.redhawkscans.com/?manga=Beelzebub&chapter=Chapter+096&page=1#page=1

Chapter 95 is out

http://mangacurse.info/reader/?manga=Beelzebub&chapter=Chapter+95#page=1

Disappointed that it didn't have more about Gramps and Oga's demon powers. And it looks like Kunieda's getting a power-up as well.

@No:

I would kind of like to know that too :ninja:

Here are some older TOCs for Shonen Sunday and Shonen Magazine if you're interested.

http://shonenbeam.com/magazineinfo/sunday/
http://shonenbeam.com/magazineinfo/magazine/

Not sure where to find new ones though.

@Fire Fist:

I always just assumed that, being a delinquent, he was kicked out of any higher-end schools.

I thought that too, but then couldn't he just bribe all the teachers to let him stay? And don't forget how he dug up some dirt on that one teacher and used it to threaten him.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/beelzebub/v06/c048/15.html

! So yeah, the new girl tells Kunieda when they're in the bath that Beel's a demon. And it turns out Kunieda's grandpa also knows this. At the end of the chapter, gramps tells Oga it's time to teach him how to use his demon powers.

I was expecting Magellan to come out that door, and instead of poison he'll be made of honey.

Here you go.

http://mangacurse.info/reader/?manga=Beelzabub

! From what I understand, Furuichi is trying to unite the gang by appealing to their school pride. He tells them that Oga and Kunieda were attacked by some students (ie. the demons) from another school (Furuichi makes up the name "Demon High"), and those students are planning to go after Ishiyama. So now the gang is all fired up to protect Ishiyama from those "demons."

The raw for that chapter looks like its from a chinese scan, which may explain why the translation's a bit off.

Wow, that episode was like 90% filler. Plus the animation seemed worse than the last episode too. Not a good sign.

! LOL @ Alaindegarde. It's a parody of Saiyuuki, with Beel as Goku.
And I think that chapter was released in Jump Next.

It's finally here: The OVA that was shown at the Jump Super Anime Tour is out.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FCWKZ48A

The quality's not great, but still watchable.

However, I wouldn't recommend it to people who plan on reading the manga or watching the TV anime, because it's basically a speedrun through the Tohoshinki arc and doesn't do the original story justice.

Chapter's out.

Here's the one from Gintama (designed by Takasugi)

!

Here are the ones for Beelzebub and Nurarihyon.

!

Haha this week's chapter is hilarious.

http://ieatsoul.com/manga-releases/beelzebub-90/

! Wow. Didn't expect to see the Teimou guys to appear.
