[edit] Currently Running List?

I was just wondering if maybe we could have a list of current series in Sunday. I assist in the management of the Weekly Shonen Jump page, where we put up a list of "currently running series" alongside the "classics". (though I like a bit more how that's handled in this setup). Maybe if we have a similar list for Sunday, it could be a guidance. Just leaving it up in the air for now... -StrangerAtaru 12:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Done. I also added a cover sample and a few more series to the list of things that have run in Sunday in the past.

    • Was thinking now: do we really need the "current series" alongside the older series in the "series that have run in Sunday" section? Maybe to seperate it between the current series and the classic ones... -StrangerAtaru 02:05, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
      • Ah, okay, I see what you're saying. Also, from what I can see, most of those series are ranked top to bottom going from most recently released to oldest, at least that's how I tried to add the ones I did. Just thought I would mention that in case any others were added. If anyone would like to add more, you can click the "What Links Here" link to see a few other series that haven't been added, and for those of us who speak Japanese, the Japanese Wiki on Shonen Sunday lists pretty much everything.

        • Actually, my ultimate plan is to perhaps have a chronological listing of all these manga, both known and obscure. Most of my ambition I blame on this Japanese page, which shows all the works that appeared in Jump, when they premiered, when they ended and so on...well up to 2000 (such a shame since if they got to 2001, then they would have Bo-bobo and Bleach). It may be too trivial, but it might be cool for both Jump and Sunday...Magazine too, but I'm more clueless on that book. -StrangerAtaru 12:38, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
          • Wow, nice site. I actually visit a similar Sunday styled version to the link you posted. Unfortunately it doesn't have the nice graphics, but it's still very helpful. I don't think its trivial at all though, I find it all very interesting. The way I see it, while some of these series mean nothing to me, they're each special to someone out there.

            • I noticed Cross Game isn't listed as currently running, but I'm fairly sure it is. Sunday's website lists it as such. Does anyone know differently? I know Adachi's prone to missing deadlines occasionally. HarleyAcres 00:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
              • That was a mistake. I thought someone already had it there when I straigthened it out, but I put it there now. (then again, on the site I check out, its one of the few Sunday series that consistently gets a raw released, as are Major, Kekkaishi, Gash, Yakitate and AiCola. I would love if someone did Zettai Karen since I did once read GS Mikami, but oh well if its not. -StrangerAtaru 03:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Firefighter Daigo

This series is currently being translated by Viz (and has been for a few years), so I was sort of surprised that there isn't a page for it already. If there are any fans out there it might be a good one to tackle. I've heard that the manga is excellent. [[HarleyAcres 23:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)]]
