Is there or has been a weekly Manga that is actually great?

Like having incredible writting, no filler whatsoever, taking great use of every page while also having amazing and really detailed artwork?

I mean, people say One Piece but honestly if we take our Shonen fanboy glasses off, the thing is more often than not a repetitive mess.

The artowork is good but is not somethin that I would call brilliant, breath taking, etc. Is good if you like manga but in this case I'm talking about artwork so brillliant that even art snobs can't deny how great it is.

I mean, can it be done? To me most weekly titles seem to care about quantity over quality, like most storytimes that took 10 chapters because of padding in some way or another.
>>
>>148114239
I don't know, Punpun maybe? I find all the good manga are monthly, Vinland Saga, Noragami, Shingeki no Kyojin are good examples.
>>
>>148114287
>Shingeki no Kyojin

If Vinland Saga and Noragami are anything like that one, then I don't think that they count

Specially since SnK has a really generic manga shonen style

Weekly release authors can and will reach burnout so their art and story can suffer at points.

Monthly authors tend to have more time to get the idea of where their story is going and properly pace themselves.

That being said god I miss Vagabond so much. I just want to get closure.
>>
>>148114378
>Specially since SnK has a really generic manga shonen style

I wouldn't say that, main characters actually die, lots of gore especially in the latest chapters and an actualy plot that goes somewhere instead of making shit up halfway. Honestly, I think SnK is really misunderstood, I'm not saying it's the best thing since sliced bread but it definitely isn't as bad as Nardo or One Piece but opinions, I guess.

Vinland Saga is nothing like SnK, it's a historical seinen with great characters and incredible artwork, definitely give it a try.

>very little if any filler, like some people think the pacing is too fast

the writing however is fairly usual shounen stuff but i thought the writing was really good during and in climax of the All Might vs AFO fight.
Especially with the "Your Next" chapter.
>>
>>148114514

Nah but I'm asking for something above that.

SnK is just some shonen manga with extra gore and one note characters, that's it.

I'm talking about shit like Berserk, Akira, Battle Angel Alitta, etc.

Titles that are considered great art and released on a weekly basis.

Jojo, art is so good that its featured at the Louvre which is a snooty art museum that snobs like going to
>>
>>148114559
>I can satisfy 2 of your needs with MHA

NO, is just a generic shonen in which shit get's solved by the main character shouting and believeing in himself, etc.


Jesus, when you people hear ''incredible writting'' do you seriously think '' My Hero Academy and Attack on Titan of course!''
>>
>>148114656

So Jojo's is weekly?
>>
>>148114609
>Berserk
>weekly basis
Anyway, I was saying that most weekly releases are not like that like >>148114428 said.

If your'e not that stubborn about it, Vinland Saga fits perfectly your criteria except for the weekly thing, just dropping it as a suggestion since this is a thinly veiled rec thread.
>>
>>148114656
Its incredibly weird and stylised i guess you could call it "good" but i wouldnt call it "good" its the type of artstyle youd expect in a modern arts museum
>>
>>148114728

Again, do you really think that New Naruto can be described with ''incredible writting''? Its pretty fucking generic and predictable and fucking cheesy.

And, again, the artwork is generic shonen shit, not bad but is a style that mostly anime geeks enjoy.


While even normies are impressed by somthing like Jojo's

My Hero Academy is fucking generic shonen crap more often than not!

The whole thing can't be more paint by numbers!

Looking at Jojo when it was weekly (Part 1-6), the art is usually off-putting and confusing, the writing is decent, and most of it is just filler for the main plotline, where they fight whatever bizarre enemy is featured in the arc, move a tiny bit closer in the main plot, then move on to the next bizarre enemy. Hell, the first half of part 4 was just a bunch of high-school students doing dick-all without a main antagonist. As good as it is, Jojo is not a "Weekly manga that is actually great" by the topic's standards.

>>
>>148115003

Well, yeah, honestly.

I love Jojo's because of how is an example of creativity, passion, love for the medium, etc.

But I do agree that even thought I love the plot, I know that is not something that can be concidered amazing art, writting wise.


I think that most stories that are concidered ''art'' explore important subjects that can't be solved via punching

Both are titles that are only enjoyed by people that read it for the ''cool'' factor.

Yes, they are good in that way but they are not great art.

>>148115014

Well most shonen is aimed at 14 year olds and they involve stories about problems that can be solved just because you have friends or because you start shouting or you were born special.

I love shonen shit like Dragon Ball Z, Shaman King, Yu Gi Oh! and I even like ok Boku no Hero. But I don't kid myself, the genre is more often than not junk food.

But wouldn't it be considered great on the fact that Araki was using a lot of musical influences in his storytelling? He said he was influenced by Prince and loved how his songs would change dynamics and vibes mid way and thus he used it in a visual manner.

Meanwhile Jojo's art is so influential that it got Gucci's attention!

So to recap we got the Lovure and Gucci in awe of Jojo art, when a major fashion brand and a respected museum are praising you then you're doing something right

Nah, writing is decent compared to so many shit shonen but it's nothing spectacular and suffers from a lot of your common battle shonen asspulls and generic writing, the art is pretty great, I'm not fond at all of the character design or how it's very generic manga style-like but that's just my taste on the art side.

It was published in a weekly magazine, but appeared there only every 2-4 weeks.

I'm going to have to call bullshit on that. It was published from February 2013 to April 2015, and it had 99 chapters (https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=92248 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocent_(manga)). So clearly it was being published weekly.

> I'd say he's a main character to the plot.

Except for the fact we don't give two shit about him because he was always a bland, background character. That's the shame about it, but the problem about SNK is that there is not a single character from the main group of friends we have seen die in 85 chapters.

Except for Erwin, but it was so sure by now we couldn't care less, and the author ruined the whole thing by bringing back Armin. Jesus, what a fucking piece of shit

You'd be lucky to find tight pacing with bad art. Maybe if they knew exactly how long they'd be serialized then they could plan ahead and pace things tightly. But how can you do tight planning with no filler when you have no idea when the series will end? At best, tying early and late plot points together will be sort of half-assed.

Golden Kamui is weekly?
How the fuck does he do it? The art is monthly quality.

Not really. I mean, there are monthlies with low-quality art, so I guess technically, but that art doesn't really blow me away for a weekly.

he's barely a fucking character at all, never mind a main character.

He's a setpiece.

Wasn't Aninal Land weekly? That series had fantastic art.

>Fuck off, she ruined the entire manga
Agreed, she and her manservant guy are like fanfic-tier reimaginations of Oscar and Andre. It completely ruins the mood whenever she shows up.

Tezuka's art is genre defining, but it's far from detailed.

>most of it is just filler for the main plotline, where they fight whatever bizarre enemy is featured in the arc, move a tiny bit closer in the main plot, then move on to the next bizarre enemy
This is why I dislike idiots that talk about "filler" like this. You'd disregard the primary impetus of a manga as worthless just because it doesn't fall into this limited idea of what a story should be like. OP's standards are trash.
