Shoenn jump and young jump are under same publisher, that's shuseia.
I don't know why they need to move to seinen manga since opm is not seinen material.
Most likely they do that to give flexibility on chapter release since wsj take one week per chapter. But they could do that in jump sq, a monthly shonen manga.

Maybe? I always feel like I have to be reminded that it's Seinen at times, though maybe certain materials just fit in or rather "don't fit in Shounen." Like it could be a smallest reason, but if it is that reason, you'll be in other genre. Kind of like saying the f word over 3 times, you are no longer PG-13 movie.

It's tag with seinen, because it serialize in seinen magazine.
Sometimes, seinen manga get it seinen tag, because it serialize in seinen magazine. The same goes with some shonen manga that feel more seinen only to get shonen tag because of the magazine, like death note, AoT, and hxh.

Seinen, shoujo, shonen, and josei are not genre Eventhought they treat as one. It has something to do with censorship.

That's why I never see opm as seinen manga because it's content really fit with shonen manga. Its story really safe for kid.

I guess so, though that kind of defeat the purpose. But then again, I guess Japanese publication works differently? I don't know. I mean I feel like to qualify Shounen, have friendship to be power, never give up guy, inspirational protagonist, and/or dream of being best of the best. Otherwise, you'll be in elsewhere. OPM makes fun of them more or less, so I assume that's why it's seinen. I'm just throwing ideas.

Yes, that's shonen trope.
I don't think make fun of it is enough to categorize as seinen manga.
And sometimes if not most often, seinen manga promote the same thing with shonen Eventhought it's not in naive way.

Opm is not gore or sexualize enough to be put in seinen. So putting opm in shonen mag is not a farfetched move. In the end the one who get lucky is jump, since they got free jackpot.

OPM does have gore but in comedy intent. But yeah, some series can be in Shounen, especially where they have light hearted moments as in funny expression, rather than something "why so serious" series where their expressions are always cold and real.

The gore is not happen human character, but to monster.
You can do that to shonen manga too.
Well, in the end what matter is story telling. Because having seinen/mature tag doesn't guarantee a good story.

Of course not. That would be too easy. There are bad ones and disappointing ones as well. No one is perfect.

Nope, he's telling the truth.

Nope, he's telling the truth.

but as genocide says, that's just BOG strength training(whatever that means) and it's not even hard.

Try to do that, that's not serious for cyborg, but not for human

Maybe it's just me, but this got the funniest advertisement from the series in a way. Like anime usually helps the new audience to get attraction to the original work. Like "oh that anime was awesome! I want to read the manga." Imagine someone coming around and advertise you to read the webcomic, and you all thinking "fantastic art. Crazy detailed action. Oh god, I can't wait!!!!" And then you read the comic and...yeah. The reaction of any wtf you thought it's hilarious from anime would be yours.

I'm sorry, I know it's the writing and all, but there are people that would just be like "O_O..." when they see the art. Visual is a necessary to many. Well, at least Mob Psycho 100 won't be "false" advertising.

Gonna binge watch the last 6 episodes and catch up. Gotta say though, I feel like the fandom really does overrate OPM. It's great, but the fandom has started to become insufferable tbh

Compare to haters, it's really nothing. I'm not in one side but well not throwing a pun or joke, but haters sure is a negative thought. I guess the best way to put it is fans could make it negative effect but haters could make negative into cancerous negative, so if I were to choose a side, you know where I'm going.

My main gripe is fans can overrate things, even though before anime, I always thought it's great, comic and all, but haters can target the person more so than the show. I may see both sides but right now, I see more of haters doing the shot fired. It's like a guy with a spitball versus a guy with a paintball, one is annoying and the other is harmful and uncalled for.
