Strong first chapter with good art throughout and a solid plot. Definitely one of the better series from the new bunch this year.

Interesting start to the series, however I do not support the mc in what he did. It's essentially plagiarism.. but before it exists? I think the girl and the mc will end up working together on either White Knight or a different manga as he can just play it off as having the same idea as her and that he just submitted it first. Not bad overall.

I really liked how this manga started, seems like it's going to be an interesting one. Definitely one of the best new series we had in the last year or so.

What the MC was essentially plagiarism, but it seems like he isn't conscious of that yet. After all, anyone in his position would think it's just crazy that you'd get to read an issue from the future, and from there it's not hard to think that it was all just a dream, and the idea was yours all along.

Also, looks like One Piece will really end during this decade, considering he didn't recognize any of the series from 2030 :)

To me it feels like it's no coincidence how this chapter was in the same issue where Kimetsu no Yaiba finished its run as a manga. Coincidence or not, this is basically just a giant desperate promotion to get people to submit their works to the editorial department at WSJ, fucking pathethic.

What an awful first chapter. The editor in chief coming in like some kind of an angel to save the day was the funniest shit ever, what absolute garbage, the writing was a mess. Oh, nice idea to rip-off Steins;Gate while you're at it.

This manga really made me believe something shonen jump has next big hit if it really keeps it pace for future chapters.
It was more interesting than laat few new series. I want see what the manga author wants to show in this story

It was a really enjoyable, My guess is that in the next Issue (from the future) White Knight is going the get axed.... and the MC and the girl at the end will work together to make the series better.

This is one of the strongest first chapter from new series that I read, with possibility to be one of new big WSJ series with Chainsaw Man and Mashle.
but it would be hilarious if in the end manga about writing the best manga turned out to be bad manga and got axed. xD

also about plagiarism, from law perspective this isn't because (at least for now) he have only legal proof (one-shot) that he first came out with the concept, so technically he could sue her (if he wanted)

Same like when he started to copy first chapter I was like "Awesome, I hope he will adapt all chapters!", and then they showed that girl and explicitly the fact that she spend over 10 years to make this maga as good as posible was like ... "oh poor girl... I really feel for you".

Now I really hope he will not become a d*ck and will fight her because he seems as nice guy who got really desperate and got opportunity (even if cheating).

Also Black Clover... ;)
and all newbies, I mean Guardian of The Witch definitely will be axed but I'm enjoying Mashle and Agravity Boys

If this really happen you mister are really smart man.
but I highly doubt it will be axed so fast like maybe after 9~10 chapters (minimum), or maybe something happened to the girl in future and this will be the reason for cancellation? (like she waited so long to publish her manga that she didn't have more time?)

It could be interesting. The protag wants to succeed and finds himself an unwitting villain by accidentally stealing someone else's work. What will this girl do, how will he deal with it? Expected to see a gel-nana come out of the microwave.

Well this was great. Had me asking questions in the middle of it. Like how his manga wasnt in the issue or if he could change the future but then to find out that he copies white knight so that it's his creation (kind of). Funny to see that white knight is already a thing.

My prediction is he's going to struggle to continue on with the story and the ratings go down, being desperate he will try to use next issues of jumps but will soon realize that since he published it 10 years before its supposed release and changed the future, the next Jump from the future won't have White Knight in it or at least the second chapter. Maybe that's where the Time Paradox comes in. If that's the case he would seek guidance from the original author.

So, wait, did she wait for 10 years to get her manga published?

Maybe it really took that long to make the first chapter perfect, which is in contrast to the MC who is trying to succeed really quickly (although 4 years is not that quick either). I can't imagine waiting 10 years for your debut.

Anyway, nice chapter, just that part broke my suspension of disbelief a bit.

I just hope this doesn't turn into a story with dominant female and submissive male which we so often see.

Interested to see what direction this will take, but don't have much otherwise since it's mostly set up.

If One Piece doesn't end by 2030 then we gotta come back to call this chapter out. Well, if this manga ends up being something to remember a decade from now.

They played dirty on me with this one.

I'm struggling manga artist myself, 26 yo, so of course I have very special place in my heart for stories like this. (If you liked it, please go and read Weekly Shonen Hachi). Seeing someone trying so hard and still losing, having doubts about his path and career... it is always heartbreaking for me to read (even if I'm not even close to draw THIS cool, hahaha).

Yes, evil editors who treat you like shit is such a cliche, but truth is- life is often very, very unfair, and without luck, money and/or connections you often can't make it into industry (whoever you are- artist, actor, musician etc).
Sadly, talent is not enough, you should know at least how to PR yourself, how to catch reader's attention etc.

Art is great. Story is promising. Well, he really plagiarised someone else's work, but I wouldn't call him a "thief"- he changed a story a bit, drew it in his own style + whole concept of time-travelling manga magazine really sounds fantastic if you think about it, especially if you haven't slept for few days. Not trying to defend him though, it's very interesting what he's gonna do when he sees all these other issues!

Solid 8,5 from me, if it gets axed too, it will be VERY IRONIC.

P.S. If he receives magazines from the future... does it mean, someone SENDS them? Maybe new character or even himself from the future? Hope it will be explained and not just a plot device (but we all know he just has Future Gadget # 008 on his hands).

Promising series. The art is good, better than we've had in a while. I though the MC would read a lot of the new series and then make a manga that incorporated a little bit of everything. This is more interesting tho.

An entertaining first chapter. I like the premise and the art is solid. There are a number of ways this story could go, so I'm interested to see how it plays out. Will he eventually get caught? Will it come back to bite him now that the supposed "original author" knows?

I also liked how it showed the difficulties of becoming an official mangaka by actually using Shonen Jump.

LMAO cool way to start. Though I have personal gratings regarding how it's the usual setup with a main protagonist at the ends of his means/whims and then being saved by pseudo-deus ex machina shenanigans.

At least a certain possible "best girl" has been aware and triggered LOL.

it was good at the beginning, but the last part when the MC confronts his Editor was too much easy. I get that it means White Knight is the next "insert notorious Shonen Jump manga here" but i feels cheap when the editor in chief appears with literally an angel-like aura and everybody starts to clap at the MC.
Also i believe that the original editor was too much evil and mean to be real (or professional).

Not bad, but it can be better. i can't wait the next chapter

First chapter and I’ve never identified with a character more! I’m also in my late 20’s chasing my dream and feeling like it might be time to give up when I look at how my peers are all settling into adulthood. But this kind of inspired me that the break through could be just around the corner! Arigatou Sasaki! Hehe 😊

After seeing everyone’s reaction to White Knight I’m verrrry intrigued... can I get a look at that one shot? 😆

This was pretty interesting. Cool stuff.
Poor guy when he finds out that White Knight didn't come out of his head but that it was really from the future. Also interesting how that girl conceived at least ten years earlier than its debut. I guess she will be one of MCs. Remains to be seen if she will somehow team up with him or they will be rivals.

This was pretty fun, my only gripe is that the author could've chosen something other than a microwave. The time travel with microwave is so universally associated with Steins;Gate that most people are gonna call it out for that.

I kinda wish we had some joke comment about Teppei getting hyped after seeing a new HxH chapter in the 2030 issue of Jump. That would've been hilarious.

Anyway, I'm curious how this story is gonna turn out. Teppei definitely ended up plagiarizing so how is he gonna correct it? Will he continue the ruse or own upto it and make something fresh? This has my attention.

A very interesting premise, I'm alreadt quite intrigued. Thou I do feel bad for the original author of that manga since Sasaki is stealing it and looks like we already know who's manga it is. So that girl proly drew that manga and never submitted it but submits it 10 year later which Sasaki got ahead of time and published himself.
