Hey! I hope you're having a good day
I wanted to ask about jigokuraku. Do you think it's okay for a 13 yo to watch? I'm asking for my brother. After watching the first 2 episodes I think he'd like the story but I'm concerned if the gore is going to be too much or very graphic in the future or any other inappropriate themes?
Hi!! 🌸I'll gladly explain! At the end you have some examples of bloody and sexual scenes that will appear (probably). Don't worry, I've cropped the screenshots so neither the context of what is happening nor the characters can be seen!
First of all, if I'm not mistaken, Mappa hasn't mentioned anything about the gore. We don't know if everything will be adapted or if several things from the manga will be censored. So far the fandom has applauded that they kept the gore in the second chapter.
There are more things like that scene in the manga. Specially bloody things and even body horror, which could be pretty disgusting. There will also be a few sexual innuendos soon (probably in the next chapter of the anime). These talks about seduction! I don't know if they will add the partial nude shown in the manga in that part. It's just a few seconds, nothing quite important.
There will be quite a violent and bloody fight in the near future. In fact, it's one of the ones that most marks the story and the course of certain characters. The whole scene is quite cruel. There are also explicit cannibalism scenes.
In case you're interested: there's also nudity, mainly boobs, some semi-sexual scenes, and a sexual scene. The semi sexual scenes will be adapted, or at least one of them, since it's partially seen in the trailer, however I doubt it will reach the sexual scene later on bc it's pretty advanced in the manga.
Nudity, on the other hand (and this is something I love) is not always strictly sexual. It's part of the fights and there's nothing sexual about it! It feels pretty intimidating actually.
I'll say there's a lot of murder and a lot of body horror. Jigokuraku is a dark manga and deals with topics that might be complex for a 13-year-old, such as colonialism/conquest, racism, loyalty and morals, and ofc a lot of views about criminals and ethics. At some point it shows some weird pseudo incest.
Also, when I talk about gore I mean severed heads and limbs, corpses, vomiting blood, and any kind of gory body modification you can imagine, especially involving plants.
But I guess it all depends on his maturity! And also what Mappa is willing to show, of course. At the moment they have shown that they don't mind showing gore.

I think I'm not forgetting anything!

Tumblr media
Un fantasy crudo e originale che fonde atmosfere in stile sword art online al body horror: il 5 maggio arriva in libreria, fumetteria e negli store online Game Of Familia 1 di Mikoto Yamaguchi e D.P., Sasae Hatsushima si trova a dover proteggere la sua famiglia quando, insieme alla matrigna e alle due sorellastre, viene evocato in un altro mondo in cui gli umani sono visti come salvatori: solo loro infatti possono fermare l’orda di non-morti che minaccia tutti gli esseri viventi...

Il 12 maggio sarà la volta di 86 - Eighty Six 1, una storia di guerra cruda, disincantata dagli aspetti inediti, la cui serie animata è disponibile in streaming su Crunchyroll. Per molto tempo la Repubblica di San Magnolia è stata attaccata dal suo vicino, l’Impero, che ha creato veicoli militari senza pilota chiamati Legion. In risposta alla minaccia, la Repubblica ha così sviluppato una tecnologia per equilibrare la forza di attacco del nemico facendo a loro volta a meno di vittime umane... Così, almeno, recita la versione ufficiale. Fuori dagli 85 distretti della Repubblica continua infatti a combattere senza tregua il distaccamento di giovani donne e uomini noto come Eighty Six.
Un nuovo e attesissimo volume della Osamushi Collection arriva in libreria! si tratta di Black Jack 1 con cui ritorna uno dei personaggi più iconici del manga: il chirurgo fuorilegge Black Jack, sempre pronto a girare il mondo per aiutare i casi più disperati e portare a termine operazioni impossibili.

A questo link potete leggere le preview digitale, ricche di contenuti extra, disponibile anche in versione cartacea in tutte le fumetterie.
Tumblr media
19 MAGGIO
Tumblr media
Il 19 maggio per J-POP Manga arriva Brave Dan, new entry della Osamushi Collection! In questo volume, il Dio del Manga mette in scena una caccia al tesoro nel selvaggio Hokkaido, la grande isola del nord dell’arcipelago Giapponese. Ma non solo! Lo stesso giorno sarà anche la volta di Red Theater una storia psicologica, oscura e contorta, nel pieno stile della maestra del boy’s love, Chise Ogawa, già famosa in Italia per Caste Heaven. Yuri è il successore di Abalkin, un marchio di scarpe di lusso dal tacco vertiginoso: ad aiutarlo nella gestione dell’azienda il suo segretario Adam con il quale sembra avere una relazione tutt’altro che semplice e trasparente come sembra...
Continuano La Via Del Grembiule - Lo Yakuza Casalingo 6, Lady Oscar Collection - Le Rose Di Versailles 5, Parasite In Love 2, So I’m A Spider, So What? 6.
26 MAGGIO
Tumblr media
Il 26 maggio sarà disponibile Randagi di Keigo Shinzo, box in quatto volumi, che racconta la vita dell’ispettore Hajime Yamada, specializzato in crimini sui minori, non ha più senso dopo la morte precoce della figlia. Una luce si riaccende nella sua oscura esistenza però quando si imbatte in una giovane ragazza scappata di casa, che si prostituisce per sopravvivere e che somiglia spaventosamente alla sua figlia scomparsa.
Per le amanti del genere yaoi sarà disponibile una nuova serie in due volumi dall’acclamata autrice di Void e Liquor & Cigarettes, Birds of Shangri-La 1.
Lo scrittore Matt Kindt (Justice League of America, Spider-Man, Mind MGMT), nominato al premio Eisner, e l'acclamato artista Matt Smith (Hellboy & the BPRD) presentano un’entusiasmante graphic novel che inverte in modo brillante gli stereotipi del fantasy di formazione! In un mondo di magia e mostri, Ansel è un outsider perseguitato da visioni di cravatte ben stirate e tecnologia... Il 26 maggio per Edizioni BD arriva Folklords.
Continuano Karma Of Purgatory 2, Komi Can't Communicate 6, La Finestra Di Orfeo 2, Otoko Zaka 9, Zombie 100 – Cento cose da fare prima di diventare non morti 2.
Tumblr media
Noterete l’assenza di Star Red che avevamo previsto per maggio, ma dal momento che non ne siamo sicuri aspettiamo a comunicarla come certa. Per portare le opere in Italia lavoriamo in collaborazione con gli Autori dal Giappone e, a volte, perché l’edizione sia esattamente come la vorremmo e come loro vorrebbero (cosa che ci sta molto a cuore!) c’è bisogno di qualche giorno in più. Questo vale ancora di più per la Moto Hagio Collection, per cui il lavoro con la Sensei e l’editore Giapponese è specialmente intenso, ma siamo certi che quando l’avrete tra le mani ne sarete davvero entusiasti!
RISTAMPE
Nel mese di maggio tornano disponibili:
5 Cm Al Secondo
 A Lotus Flower In The Mud

Hell’s Paradise – Jigokuraku 1,3,7

what’s jigokuraku it looks very interesting
oh! short version: it basically goes like this. 
Tumblr media
long version: it’s a horror/action manga about about death row prisoner gabimaru whos on his way to being executed, teaming up with his executioner attempting to get a pardon for being a ninja/assassin-for-hire because he fell in love with his Marriage Of Convenience Wife who taught him how to open his heart and develop empathy and compassion, genuinely get along with others, and that he actually fell in love with for real... so he gets sent to Death Island basically where everything is trying to kill him (and others also trying to get the pardon) and is doing everything in his power to make it back to his wife.
tw for: body horror, eye horror, insect horror, amputation... plant horror, nudity (theres A LOT of this), sexual discussion/sexual content, self harm, burning (?) murder... other various types of gore that I can not recall the proper terms for rn bc I’m tired & medicated rn... basically if you have nsfw/gore on your blacklist idk if you’d be interested in this! there’s also more that i should probably warn for, unfortunately i can not think rn so this is like... general scratching the surface stuff. it’s getting an anime adaption which should be a lot more toned down fr tv audiences! u may wanna watch the anime when it comes out bc i know it’ll be censored like most gorey manga is. not all of these happen all the time but i’m well aware im desensitized to drawn horror so i cant say if this is extremely graphic or not so im like. warning you jic of everything that may or may not be an issue (that im able to recall rn) bc idk your tastes/sensitivity level.

Everything you need to know about MANGA Plus by Shueisha
https://cottonfreakz.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/MangaPlus_feat-300x300.png
If you’re an anime or manga fan, you’ve probably heard of Weekly Shonen Jump, published by Shueisha. The story behind the very first anime you ever watched may even have sprouted from the world’s most famous manga magazine. Over Weekly Shonen Jump‘s sprawling 50-year history, they’ve published some of the most globally successful manga ever, including Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Naruto.
Weekly Shonen Jump may have reached its peak weekly circulation of 6.53 million copies in the 1990s, but the march of time and the decline of print media haven’t stopped the magazine from expanding its net of readers. Jump’s audience has steadily become more global, as Shueisha looks towards digital distribution as a means of ensuring that their titles remain accessible towards a wide audience.
In 2014, Shueisha first launched Shonen Jump+, an online platform in Japanese that sells e-book versions of Jump manga titles as well as a digital version of Weekly Shonen Jump that can be read on mobile devices. The site allows users to read a large sample of Jump manga for free, and also serializes a number of original titles separate from the print magazine, including ēlDLIVE and DARLING in the FRANXX.
Meanwhile, in North America, popular Jump titles like My Hero Academia consistently top best-selling lists for graphic novels. From 2013 to 2018, Viz Media published a digital version of Weekly Shonen Jump, releasing new English chapters simultaneously with the Japanese magazine, and last December they launched a new website giving subscribers access to over 70 catalog titles.
However, this will not be the only means through which the latest Jump chapters will be available digitally from now on. Shueisha is launching a global version of Shonen Jump+ on January 28, called MANGA Plus. Not only will the site and app provide simultaneous releases of popular serialized titles like One Piece, it will also be available in every country except China and South Korea. The app will also be completely free, like the Japanese version of Shonen Jump+ currently is.
To talk about this new venture in detail, we visited Shueisha‘s offices and talked to Shonen Jump+ editor Shuhei Hosono, who also oversees MANGA Plus. He explained everything to know about MANGA Plus upon launch.
When did you first get involved with the project? And what are your thoughts as team leader?
I’ve been with Shonen Jump+ since it started in 2014. I was also involved in the online Jump Book Store that launched in 2012. Through my work on those projects, I wanted as much manga to be available as possible. Just like in Japan, there are a lot of manga readers overseas. So I want to bring Shonen Jump+ to people all around the world.
How exactly does Shonen Jump+ work?
Through Shonen Jump+, you can purchase a digital version of each issue of Weekly Shonen Jump at the same time the print version comes out. You can also buy e-books of the tankobon versions of Jump titles. On top of that, there are original manga titles that are serialized exclusively through the service.
The service itself is completely free to use. The first chapters of every manga on Shonen Jump+ manga are available for any user to read. Also, the latest chapters that are serialized will also be available for anyone to read for a limited amount of time.
When did the idea of making a global version of Shonen Jump+ start?
We started talking about it in 2017, and we’ve been working at it right until launch.
What languages will the service be in?
For now, we just have an English and Spanish version planned. The Spanish version will launch around February/March, although it may have a different lineup from the English version. If there is enough demand, we may add more languages.
What is the difference between the Viz‘s Shonen Jump app and MANGA Plus?
Well, for starters, there will be more titles available through MANGA Plus. We plan to add as many titles as we can, even relatively minor ones that previously never had in English release.
Viz focuses mainly on Weekly Shonen Jump titles, while MANGA Plus will have titles from other Shueisha publications, like Jump Square and the Jump+ online manga.
MANGA Plus will also be available in more regions. It will available throughout the entire world except in China, South Korea, and Japan, as they already have their own separate services. Previously under-served regions like Southeast Asia will be able to read manga through this app. Up until now, Shueisha‘s titles have been distributed throughout North America, Europe, Asia etc., via local publishers or distribution lines. This marks the first time that Shueisha is expanding direct service globally.
Will every manga that is serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump be available through this service (and not just the popular ones)?
Yes. The starting lineup will be almost everything that’s currently being serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. There will be over 30 titles being released simultaneously with Japan.
As for titles that have concluded and are not currently being serialized in the magazine, such as Naruto, we plan to serialize them through the app from the beginning so that new readers can experience them, one chapter at a time. 10 of these serializations are already planned, and more will be added gradually over time.
The full starting lineup is below:
Ongoing series
ONE PIECE
The Promised Neverland
Jujutsu Kaisen – Sorcery Fight
My Hero Academia
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Haikyu!!
Black Clover
Chainsaw Man

Note that the lineup will be different in Taiwan.
For the titles that Viz shares with MANGA Plus, will the translation be the same?
Yes. As for other titles they handle, they may use different translators.
Will the interface be similar to Shonen Jump+?
Yes, it will be based on the existing app. On the home page, you’ll see the latest chapters to be uploaded underneath each day. You’ll also be able to access the full list of titles available through a drop menu.
Do you think manga itself is changing as the medium becomes more global?
Yes, there are more readers from around the world, and more manga is being born overseas. These days, the quality of manga from around the world is incredibly high. Although we at Shueisha make manga primarily to appeal to a Japanese audience, we hope that the stories can have a global appeal too. It’s one of the many things that editors take into consideration when we think about what kind of manga to publish next.
However, at the core of it, manga is always about telling interesting stories, and no matter how much time passes, that side of manga has never changed.
As the artist behind Dragon Ball Super, do you get a lot of feedback from overseas fans? How would you characterize that feedback?
When I have been to overseas events, people have spoken to me. The way people overseas perceive and evaluate my work is very different from Japan, so it’s been very helpful to me as reference for creating the story.
How important would you say the international audience is for the success of Dragon Ball Super?
Because Dragon Ball is loved throughout the entire world, I think that the sequel Dragon Ball Super must also be loved in the same way.
Are you personally excited that your overseas fans can now catch up and read your new chapters at the same time as Japan?
I am very grateful that there is no time lag for the release of the manga. If the information from Japan is conveyed in a fragmentary manner, then readers won’t be able to taste the initial emotions and surprise. I am very excited about the simultaneous release.
Masashi Kishimoto, creator of Naruto, also left a message: “Jump’s manga will now be available at the same time all over the world! Now that it’s an official service, there will be a lot to read! Wonderful!”
