What is this thread about?
This thread started in 2006 as a scan archive for Weekly Shounen Jump (WSJ) manga. It was essentially a place for all raws from WSJ that didn't have their own R/T/S threads here at MangaHelpers. Over the years, many members (including The Touch, xi0, Kylara, Asakura, Sai_the_Shaman, Waeyen, and Heiji, to name a few) have been helping out in this thread by scanning covers, ToC pages, previews, and sharing the raws they found or scanned.

With MH's upgrade to v2.3, there's no longer a need for a separate scan archive. This all new 2009 thread will be for you, the fans, to discuss whatever you like about WSJ! Predominantly, discussions will be centered around the ToC ranking that's posted weekly. You can also post the magazine covers and preview pages in this thread.

What is the ToC ranking?
ToC stands for Table of Contents. It's found on the last page of every issue of WSJ, but more importantly, the order the series appear in on the ToC is closely related to the popularity of the series. This is determined by polling the readers; there is a polling postcard in every issue of WSJ.

Some exceptions etc:
- Pyu to fuku Jaguar is always at the last.
- Kochi Kame is usually at the last, too.
- For the 2nd-8th chapters, TOC is already decided, though it could change depends on readers' ranking.
- The TOC is affected by the popularity of 8 chapter ago.
- Shuei-sha's aiming their main target as elementary and junior high school students, thus, their votes weigh probably more than others (fangirls).

hmmm tomorrow is usually the point the TOC appears, predictions for toriko's top 5 position? i'm thinking 2 looking back eight chapters....

and inumaru at 7ish again just because.... it seems comfy around there....

with bakuman just above it...

woot horrible manga at the top

Toriko is good. Don't be jealous cuz whatever manga you like aren't that high. =P

I'm too flabbergasted to be jealous right now. Still can't see what they find in Toriko so.... appealing.

Please do me the honors and shed some light onto me. Why do you think Toriko is good... maybe I'll reconsider my stance towards that manga if I see it through somebody else's eyes.

It's different, i don't think its better then Psyren but i find the manga interesting, the man has pants on (at least most of the time) and it's not the same generic 'shonen' manga.

I don't think it would be on top of my 'suggestion' list but its not the worst manga in jump.

Toriko is good. Not top five good, middle of the magazine good. It's definitely not generic shonen, definitely creative, and clearly has not hit it's stride yet.

Which new series is coming out this week, or is there one?

This week is the soccer series, Meister. Next week is Basketball, followed by new Nishi

Toriko kinda takes a few old ideas and rolls it into something new;
and he has ultimate anger

been looking everywhere for Meister raws :darn
anyone happen to see them somewhere?

Probably won't be out till the weekend WSJ deluge. Probably will be one of the last series scanned.

Glad the two sports series are coming out first. I hope they last longer than Dogashi did. ES21 is good and all, but I need more sports manga :yelling.
