As most members have suggested, Bleach isn't doing so hot.
One Piece, Naruto and Bleach were once the top three most popular manga out there. However, current rankings (so awesomely provided by Morcombe) and our own assumptions have determined that Bleach has fallen from its great heights.
I was considering on replacing our Bleach Manga section with something else. However, seeing as the manga is on its last arc, we could just leave it up until it dies. There is still much to discuss about our once, great manga.
However, I would like to add another Manga or two to the Manga discussions. Remembering that most of the discussion for Bleach is "it sucks," I realized there are other great Manga that come out in Shounen Jump and other magazines that are much better and much more deserving of conversation.
Beelzebub, Gintama, Toriko and Vinland Saga have all been suggested.
I have only read the first and highly recommend it. I'm not finished reading Toriko yet but it's hilariously fun and, according to Weekly Manga Recap of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com, has replaced Bleach's position in the "Top 3." Kylor has recommend Gintama and Vinland Saga though I have not read those yet.
So what do you guys think? Would you be up for another manga discussion board?

I don't think we should leave Bleach up until it finishes. True, it's on it's last arc, but arcs in Bleach can last for YEARS. Might as well go ahead and put it in Neo Tokyo.
As for a replacement, I'm up for anything. If I had to choose from the ones you suggested, I would choose Beelzebub. I need to catch up on that manga!

I don't read manga anymore, or even watch anime.
But wouldn't Fairy Tail be a viable replacement? Just throwing it out there.

I would be highly in favor of adding another section to Beelzebub. If other members could respond to this topic with their suggestions, that would help us decide if we should create a board for it and possibly add another. With this week's chapter, I could definitely see a huge discussion, but that's only if enough people are reading it.
I was thinking of adding a board for Fairy Tail a long time ago, Shark. It's a rather poor manga but it creates a lot of discussion at least amongst my local friends. Do you think others would be in favor of it?

Eh, Fairy Tail is terrible, we don't really need a board for it, do we?
Then again, we'd have to figure out what our qualifications are for a new board. Is it just a general popularity thing, or should we try and find something the majority of people here read? The latter might be a bit difficult, considering that a lot seem to not read much anymore, but a new board might convince people to pick something up. Just my suggestion.
And I do think we should get rid of the Bleach one. Every anime or manga forum in the internet has a Bleach board, the world won't suffer without this one. I also might suggest removing the Naruto one, unless there are enough people here who like Naruto, I really have no idea.

I think we could start a Fairy Tail and Beelzebub forum. If they grow to be unpopular, we could exchange them for other manga.
I'll get the Fairy Tail one started up today and make a record of it in the Forum Updates. Does anyone else read Beelzebub before I get excited to put that one up?

I don't read any of the manga mentioned up there. Granted that doesn't mean much since I don't read Naruto either, and I rarely have anything to say about the ones I DO read.
Since this forum is essentially just a website for our little group I say do whatever the hell you want.

I vote for Fairy Tail as well.
In ADDITION to Fairy Tail, perhaps we should have a Jump Section as well, just to try and encourage people to read new mangas and spawn new discussions. Of course, that is if everyone else wants to.
But yeah, I'm good with Fairy Tail

That's a great idea, Hito. That satisfies our want to share manga we're reading and my sweet hunger for Beelzebub discussion.
Do you guys like that idea too? A Fairy Tail section and a Shounen Jump section?

I heard that it was okay early on but now it isn't so great. However, if you want, start the thread in the Shonen Jump section.
