Of all the ideas, names and manuscripts that the heroes have come up with, which is your favourite?
The Two Earths
Our earth is just a copy of the real one, and we are all just copies of the people on it..
100,000,000 Minutes
We are all ranked by computer, and lower ranks have to obey higher..
Money and Intelligence
In this world, money and intelligence are all that matter, and smart people sell their brains to make money..
Demon Sword (no official title?)
In a world overrun by demons, a sword has many demons sealed inside it, and only one hero can wield it..
My Angel
Angels guide souls to the afterlife, but bad angels kill humans to get ahead..
Detective Trap
Not a detective, but a conman, and that'll be a million yen..
Special Bonus Option: Sunglasses Pitcher
A kid with a super fastball was blinded, and now years later an amazing pitcher who always wears sunglasses has appeared..

Money and Intelligence looked extremely interesting. Reminded me of GiTS for some reason

LoL. I haven't read any of them so I can't decide. :lmao
But going with their editor's and their readers' reactions, then it seems that Money and Intelligence is their best manga (out of all they have created, save for their latest one in Golden Cup).

We haven't learned much about Detective Trap so far, which I think is a mistake on Bakuman's writer's part. With Money & Intelligence, we were given a glimpse of the story, at least. So I guess I have to vote for M&I.

I think the reason we don't know much about Detective Trap is that it's going to be a much bigger part of the story than the other ones so far. If it's genuinely going to be serialised, then we're going to get chapters about them coming up with new stories and introducing new characters and struggling to keep it published, and then we'll get to learn about the process for publishing volumes, and all through this we'll be learning more about the manga itself.
Whereas Money and Intelligence was never going to be anything other than a oneshot, so we got a lot of information on it straight up.

Sunglasses Pitcher obviously. :pek
... Actually it's really 100,000,000 Minutes was the most interesting to me.

The Two Earths, and Money & Intelligence sounded dope to me. Hopefully the mangakas will actually write & release these as one shots.

I actually dig Sunglasses Pitcher. I don't know if I'd want to read an epic series based on it, but it could make for a great couple of volumes.
I really liked how 100,000,000 Minutes had a built-in explanation for why the heroes would be kids, since the chips were only implanted when the people turned fifteen. Given that most Jump heroes are kids anyway, it's nice to see a scenario with an actual reason built into the plot.
Money and Intelligence sounded the most intriguing to me though I'll admit I'd probably check out My Angel as well.

I love baseball so I had to go with sunglasses mainly cause I just wanted to see how they could possibly pull that one off.
Money and Intelligence.
I wish more was known about the Angel one though.
