Akamaru (Bon Edition) & "The Key 40" from Jump Chronicle

Probably a few of you know by now but for the rest of you: there will be another Akamaru Jump coming out around Obon. (which is August)  Around then, we'll be getting a few special chapters and one-shots, including:
-The Final chapter (or an "after chapter") of Samurai Usagi (sort of like P2's ending a while back)
-Special chapters of To-LOVE, Nurarihyon, Double Arts & Toriko
-New one-shots by way of several previously published mangaka, including Aimoto Sho (MUDDY), Akira Akatsuki (Corrector M&Y) & Yasuhiro Kano (Mx0, Pretty Face)
-And of course: new one-shots by up and coming mangaka that could be series someday...don't ask what yet :P

A while back, they mentioned something called "Jump Chronicles", which essentially is going to be a collection of the 40 most notable and "important" (according to WSJ's peoples) series to ever be in the magazine.  Within the last couple days, the website for "Jump Island" (the big attraction of the summer which for the last few years has only been One Piece) has compiled a list of forty series that, most likely, are the ones that they say are it.  They will be introduced in there with some reading material for those interested.  The list is the following:
-One Piece
-Rokudenashi BLUES
-Rurouni Kenshin
-Yu-Gi-Oh!
-Midori no Makibao
-Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
-Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star)
-Halleluya II: BOY
-Hoshin Engi
-Play Ball
-Bleach
-Pyu to Fuku! Jaguar
-HunterXHunter
-Harenchi Gakuen
-BASTARD
-Naruto
-Dragon Ball
-Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken
-Prince of Tennis
-Death Note
-Saint Seiya
-Century Ending Leader Legend Takeshi!
-Slam Dunk
-Stop!! Hibari-kun!
-JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
-Jungle King Ta-Chan
-Shaman King
-City Hunter
-Hell Teacher Nube
-Sakigake! Otokojuku
-Circuit no Ookami
-KochiKame
-Kinnikuman
-Gintama
-Captain Tsubasa
-Kimagure Orange Road
-Katekyo Hitman Reborn
-Otoko Ippiki Gaki Taisho
-Wingman
-Eyeshield 21

Looking over that list now, I'm actually quite impressed by the series that they are using for this event.  Practically all 40 are key Jump series from the known to the unknown.  However, like many lists, this one seems a bit incomplete thanks to a few omissions and decisions:
1. It seems like they are mostly sticking to one manga per mangaka going with either their most famous or what is in the magazine now.  But unfortunately, that brings out a lot of holes of what isn't there.  Examples include:
-Dr. Slump (while DB is Toriyama's most famous work, this is the one that put him and Jump on the map)
-Yu Yu Hakusho (I'm really shocked this wasn't here but they wanted probably to stick with HxH...pity)
-Ring Ni Kakero (same as Toriyama: Saint Seiya is Kurumada's most famous, but Ring both put him on the map and began to set up shonen standards that would carry over into the future)
-Doberman Detective (Once again: its a matter of which is bigger and more prioritizing.  Doberman put Buronson on the map and was successful and important in its time...but Fist of the North Star WAS the 80s)
-Cat's Eye (when talking of Hojo, half the population think this was the key, the other half say it was City Hunter.  The City Hunter half won this round)
-Video Girl AI/I''s (I'm not saying Wingman isn't important...in fact, some say that this series probably created the magic notebook concept Death Note used and is a notable action/romance hybrid...but the other two are more notable today of Katsura's works, with many saying I''s being ripped off for some other series)
-Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoi-yo, Masaru-kun (once again: Jaguar's in the magazine, Jaguar got in...even if some say Masaru defined the style of the modern comedy series)
-Hikaru no Go (This was big...Death Note was bigger)

2. I probably do believe it was extremely hard for them to decide "what are our most important series"...but while I like many of the choices, these had just as much if not more right to be there:
-Dokonjo Gaeru (probably one of the biggest in my head absentees: this was one of THE series of the early 70s and even was an influence for Nube in some ways...and yet they didn't even try to get it!)
-Koya no Shonen Isamu (one of the more notable action series of the early days...sure the mangaka probably did more famous works like Star of the Giants and such but this probably deserved some notability)
-Astro Kyuudan/Samurai Giants (other big baseball series but...I guess Play Ball got in more due to Chiba being well known and his tragic end)
-Barefoot Gen (My guess: outside something like Death Note, Jump doesn't want to be remembered for serious works...tragic)
-High School! Kimengumi (probably one of the most important series of the early 80s in Jump due to setting up the style that dominated the "teen comedies" of the period...sure it isn't UY or anything but it doesn't deserve to be ignored)
-Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (Maybe they just don't like dogs)
-Tottemo! Luckyman (the series that got an anime sooner than any other Jump series...and its not here.  Then again...this could lead to more suspicion since "only one manga per mangaka" and if Ohba really is him...)
-Ninku (Even Kishimoto admitted to being influenced by Fuusuke...show some respect!)
-Ichigo 100% (yeah it was an I''s ripoff but it was one of the few notable romance series of this decade...)
-Black Cat/To-LOVE-Ru (Don't even want to know why Yabuki doesn't have anything...)
-D.Gray-man (probably the biggest absensce of the recent series...but the problem is probably that 2004 was that big a year..and they think Death Note, Gintama and Reborn are bigger..and probably are right.  But Allen has representation elsewhere so he probably doesn't care)

Probably a ton of others I'm forgetting but that mostly is in my head.
