>Kimengumi I think it's overrated but maybe it got better after Sannen >Vander Never read it, but I do like Katsura >HnK Classic >Kinnikuman Rough start but by this point was at its peak >Kochikame Classic, was still in its prime >Otokojuku Classic though I know it fell off for me somewhere around here before becoming great again >Dragon Ball Classic, this was its best era >Tonchinkan Never read >City Hunter Classic >Captain Tsubasa Probably was pretty hype at this point though I admit I'm not a big Tsubasa fan, especially as Yoichi's art degenerated with sequels >Saint Seiya Sellout >Kimagure It was alright, not very memorable >Love & Fire Never read but I do like his earlier stuff >Uwasa no Boy I have the raws for this but haven't checked them out yet >Road Runner Only one I don't have, I'm not very into vehicles so Tsugihara hasn't appealed much to me for that reason but I may change my mind someday >Nagareboshi Gin Pretty good but if this was already post-Akabuto, I thought that last arc was pretty lame and filler-y, I think Otoko no Tabidachi is my favorite of his Jump manga that is available digitally (though I'd love to be able to read Akutare Giants)

>>Kimengumi Have you watched it? I wanted to read it but obviously it's not translated Is the anime any good? I know that it was decently popular in fan circles in the early 2000's in some countries
>Wingman was a success >Vander first rank and is freaking 1st place, over Hokuto no Ken and Kinnikuman
Yeah, Vander is going to be a success. Wondering how Saint Seiya is going to do next week. The manfa looks like a carbon copy of Fuma no Kojiro, but with greek armors

Oh, I had no idea I've slowly been reading any jump series translated in english and italian and this was one of the ones I always wanted to know more about. It's only High School or has any of the first series been translated?
Nicholas Torres
it use to air here in France back in the 90s and so but with how awful the dub was i can't really tell you much since it wouldnt be accurate but i remember it being pretty funny.
Jonathan Carter
The entire first series has been translated, they are the same series. It just changed its name because they graduated Sannen (3rd Year of Middle School).
Hokuto no Ken is forgettable garbage, I bet in 34 years time no one will even remember that shit.

For what it's worth, I think rankings based on the toc are misguided and autistic but people who rank manga never count color pages and back in the day (probably to save money or something) the colored manga were always up front so Vander would have been a color page. For some reason the volume version of the chapter cover isn't a color page but they never preserved chapter covers back then and Katsura especially always threw them out for stylistic reasons, Denei Shojo and I"s literally just use blank pages for chapter covers in the volumes despite the magazine having great covers, it's sad.
That's great, thanks for answering my dumb questions I'll start reading it as soon as I get home from work

All of these are easy to find the exact chapters that appeared in an issue except City Hunter, Tsubasa, Seiya and Gin. They all totally changed chapter names, removed covers, combined chapters and I think may have reordered some in the case of City Hunter.
Grayson Hughes
Even as a joke, I can't beleive someone could said it in this part of the series Anything after volume 15 sucks, but this is 80s battle shonen at its peak
Matthew Brown
Also, why were full color chapters so common back then? I'm reading Dai no Daiboken in the past few days and there were lots of them Also series like Slam Dunk and Hibari Kun have lots of chapter with the first few pages in color, or series like dragonball have many chapters that, while not in full color, at least use more shades of gray
Nowadays nobody does that, it's only a cp or color spread, is there any particular reason? An economic one? Did they change the paper?

Juria is revealed to be the Last Nanto General, Juza gets killed and Ken and Raoh start their final battle on top of the tower
>Road Runner Wait, what's this about? I thought Mechadoc was the last cars manga in Jump.
Adam Brown
Yeah I lucky I found the actual ToC of this exact issue. A work around would be counting the chapters through the ToC's but that would take time and autism.

I think they cut costs in the 90's and full-color chapters became very rare but they still had some here and there in the 00's, there were some different types of color chapters but I think the general rule is the first pages of the first chapter in the magazine were in full-color and the rest of the pages were that color with all the reds. The second chapter of the magazine was just the lesser sort of color. Dragon Ball is one of the very few classic Jump manga that has been pretty well digitized in its original colors due to the kanzenban version so it should give you a good idea (although it obviously got special treatment due to being popular so maybe has more full-color chapters than average). But this image is a good example of that second type of color.
