You'd be putting down beelzebub by saying its the succesor to "those" series (just my opinion tho).

Are you saying the Beelzebub is better than Bleach, Naruto and One Piece?

Psyren is similar to Bleach, Soul Eater is kind of similar to Naruto, Fairy Tail similar to One Piece.

P.S. One Piece is the best manga ever.

Psyren has similar art to Bleach and that is where the similarities stop. Soul Eater similar to Naruto?, how so?

If you took the soul and the epic out of one piece and left it a shell of what it was with a soul, then youd have Fairy Tail.

Psyren and Bleach are similar in art and action. Wise is similar to the Espada too.

Naruto and Soul Eater are about a group of young friends that go on missions together with special powers. Plus Black Star is a ninja too.

OP is similar to Fairy Tail in art and they are both about adventures. Having said that, One Piece is far, far better.

hmm, I don't think Beelzebub will unless it takes a dramatic turn and a longer plot development is established (I'm think about when they went into the Demon World, did nobody else think that it ended kinda...suddenly)
Possibly Gamaran though I can't see that continuing (have I spelled that right ) past 100 chapters.
I haven't seen any shounen mangas recently that grab my attention

I rate manga with 5 being the average score.

hurm
sure these 3 are popular
but without
Gintama
Sket Dance
Kochikame
Pyu to Fuku! Jaguar
i would not be interested in reading jump at all

then we have
Eden no Ori
that i think is one of the better weekly manga atm

i think the succecor hasn;t been made yet o.o it will probly start when either of those three stops, then a new manga will grab attention and people will name that the succesor. or at elast that's what i think, cuase most manga that's been named here will prbly have ended by the time either of those three ends, though in case of one piece, i hope it continues for a long time ^^

________________

Guess someone said... FMA was gonna be the successor of either of those 3... shame it ended before them .

And im with that last guy saying u cant really think any running manga will take the place of any of those 3 once they end. I bet the successor will be one manga that start running with max 3 months before the end of them.

Beelzebub will take the place of one of those, hands down! And maybe Nurarihyon no mago will also take the place of one of those, especially since an anime has now been scheduled

I would like to say Psyren but something about that manga makes it seem like it will end right after this current arc or something, I dunno.

Fairy Tail: the anime has some hecka nice soundtracks, btw. So I think Fairy Tail will rise.
Soul Eater
D.Gray Man
maybe, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan

But at this point, I don't think any manga can top those 3 Bleach/Naruto/One Piece until another 5-10 years, ^^

SORRY ; looks like I'm only into ninjas, shinigamis, wizards and alchemists.

Very tough question, possibly Mahou Sensei Negima? But that's not quite new...of course One Piece will still be going on for a very long time.

I completely agree.

--------

Inside WSJ, I think Katekyo Hitman Reborn! can make it, as well as Nurarihyon no Mago. As much as I love Beelzebub, it's still too early to tell for that series.

Gintama deserves to be mentioned as well. Hunter x Hunter could work, but the mangaka goes on hiatus too much.

Outside WSJ, Fairy Tail has a shot. You can see the influences from the Big Three, but it can stand on its own.

Wasn't Psyren axed though? Correct me if I'm wrong. Plus I doubt any of the monthlies can replace the Big Three...

D.grayman SUCKS

beelzebub- it has to much comedy to replace any of the 3 and main bad guy is not evil

my best guess would be
defense devil
eden no ori
Drifters
Maybe claymore but it feels like its ending

Uh ouch Shamful7, rude much. D-Gray Man is actually a good series. Do you even get the storyline?

Though i'd have to agree with you on Beelzebub and Defense Devil but that's it.

Anyone bring Kekkaishi into this equation? I like this series the anime is shorter then the actual series.

Kuroshitsuji may be able to overrun the crowds considering how many people know about it. It's even being shown at Comic Con this year I believe.

Then there is Code:Breaker.... ugh I'm gonna regret this but the series could make the Top 10....maybe.

Other Shounen Successors: (in no particular order)
1. Witch Hunter
2. 1/2 Prince
3. Kurohime
4.Hajimete no Aku
5. Pandora Hearts <--not really but I like the series

@roronoa3000: I get what your saying Soul Eater may just be that.
@aagcnet: A shame the orginial anime version ending was better in my opinion. The manga's ending was good don't get me wrong but he lost his alchemy powers

I think Beelzebub will be the succesor to one piece, not in terms of epicness or fight scenes but in terms of humour. Like in the new year 4koma special imo only one piece's and beelzebub's was funny. Naruto clones himself to do spring cleaning, that was so predictable, and i don't think bleach's was funny at all
