Shounen Jump is finally asking the readers which “fictional” manga they’d like to see adapted. Could this be something more than an academic interest? Hmm…
Though I suspect it has no chance, I voted for “Hideout Door”…
Edit: The results are in. Hint: I was among the 2.8%…

However!
Nakai can go and die in a trash can for all I care, but seeing Hideout Door getting an adaption might be interesting, so
*Vote*

August 9, 2011 at 12:15 amUgh, tough choice. I voted for Otter 11 because it's probably the most… unique of the bunch and the closest to seinen grounds. The (RL) manga one-shot they did out of it wasn't all that interesting though.
Hideout Door could potentially become visually stunning but it's a bit too childish and shoujo for my taste.
Crow would probably become the standard shounen and we've got a fair share of those, not to mention detective series like Trap (especially lately). However, Trap could be interesting since it doesn't have a loli genius.
I've never been into anime/manga about delinquents so Kiyoshi Knight is likely not my cup of tea.

Bonus points to Jump if they find a mangaka like Hiramaru to make it. Wait, did I subtly say something about Jump adapting a manga? Ooh…

August 9, 2011 at 4:34 amI almost thought you buy WSJ and could read Japanese… Then I saw the linked page was in English. xD
And I voted Hideout Door, not because I like it, but because all the other sound so generic, except for Otter 11. But we already have enough ridiculous series (I'm looking at you, Bobobo), so I'm all for Door.

I wish I could read the manga in the original WSJ. My written Japanese is worse than mediocre.

August 10, 2011 at 3:05 pmHmmm,so few choices,why did they have to keep it to the early chapters only 🙁
Because the ones I want to really see aren't on the list.And I'm not sure if it's all right for me to mention them.
Oh well,I had to choose then I'd go with otter 11,the oneshot was nice enough.
And of course if it gets an anime shaft would be my chosen studio.

August 10, 2011 at 4:20 pmI'll be shocked if Otters or maybe Detective Trap doesn't win.
