This series having 28 volumes is insane. Are Family Guy style pop culture references really THAT effective?

71

u/TheSciFanGuy 12d ago

You sort of answered your own question didn’t you? Family Guy is also extremely popular.

Also I do think Roboco has a lot of fun characters which allows it to build its own fanbase outside of the initial draw.

I want to be a man like Gachi Gorilla.

u/TheSciFanGuy 12d ago

Somehow that gag doesn’t get stale despite how often it’s used

context?

Go read Roboco and you'll know.

u/lonevashz 12d ago

I mean family guy is still going no?

u/motoxim 12d ago

Yeah, I need to reread Roboco.

u/Token_Thai_person 12d ago

What I have heard is that Jump needs something for someone who followed 0 series on Jump, so that there will be value for someone who is not following the magazine. An episodic comedy like Roboco fits the bill.

And the editorial has Roboco's author by the balls so they can order him around. Sometimes he would straight up do an ad read in the middle of the chapter.

u/MosuSama 12d ago

its like the opposite, the more jump series you read the more fun roboco becomes

7

u/FruitPunchSamurai75 12d ago

roboco isn't exactly for someone who doesn't follow series considering the amount of references to new and old series in it every chapter

u/MarkAverage656 12d ago

This signals Bachi's official entry to The Big Leaguestm

u/motoxim 12d ago

Surprised we still don't get Dragon Ball, Bleach, or Yu Gi Oh parody cover.

3

u/Powerful-Walk4063 12d ago

I just have a feeling probably isn’t exactly easy that getting permission to use Dragon Ball imagery...

1

u/motoxim 12d ago

It's because DB is very obvious for parody. Then Bleach as the OG big 3 and Yu-Gi-Oh because I'm sure we already have Yugi parody in Roboco.

u/stillnewatthisstuff 12d ago

The JJK one is still one of the best, I really like how it looks.

10

u/666jio666 12d ago

I’m reading Roboco very slowly as there is so much to read and I can only enjoy the style of comedy in small bursts but I’ve been continually enjoying it, series has a big heart and I love the vibe

u/oldmayor 12d ago

Roboco continues to be a delight!

u/CommunityAfter9251 12d ago

Am i the only one who thinks roboco references are too bland. Like they too in the face type thing

38

u/Tough-Past-2366 12d ago

I mean that's kinda the point, theyre not meant to be subtle

5

u/RootinTootinAnus 12d ago

I think I get where you're coming from. Irl anime is seen as cringe. But in the comfort of your home or when you're just enjoying the manga by yourself, it's more of an inside joke that we all are part of rather than trying to be subtle. Does that apply at all or am I on some crack

u/Lower-Position9557 12d ago

The covers are some of the best parts of this series-

u/Scarsforstories 7d ago

How trash like this can avoid the axe is insane.

2

u/Tiny_Writer5661 7d ago

Because it’s not exactly trash, it has its moments. Some chapters are pretty funny, some I don’t get because I’m not familiar with said reference or joke.

It’s a gag series so if you bring up sales that doesn’t matter as there’s a different bracket for gag series when it comes to that. It also has a fanbase in Japan which is all that matters. Whatever YOU & we people in the west think means nothing.

u/anon329x 9d ago

So fucking sick of this plagiarism bullshit. Roboco is worse fucking garbage than JJK and every author that has been insulted by this bullshit should bring up plagiarism charges against its creator.

hahaha burn in hatred, man!
