Mag Talk Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk

Could it be that it's not the author wanting to do fanservice... but rather the author likes big boobs?

I mean you have to enjoy your own work by drawing something you like...

Well Kubo loves boobs...but he didn't even introduce Orihime until chp. 2, so it's not like you can't introduce them a bit later than in chapter 1.

Last week's volume sales

Recent Jump Volumes LTD sales:
Bleach 38: 743,979
Katekyo Hitman REBORN! 24: 484,705
Gintama 28: 429,753

All three have already surpassed their known sales for the preceding volumes. Looks like most Jump series are continuing to stay healthy in their sales.

Chapter 2 is hardly what I'd call 'holding back', though.

 

[Rejuvenation]

I seriously can't believe there is this much animosity because the girl has big boobs. XD

Well these sales definitely look more consistent with what we are used to seeing. It was like the last batch took a major hit or something.

if people are talking about big boobs because of Medaka Box, then i can tell you that its a bit of a misunderstanding....
yes her boobs are extremely big, and Jump does seems to be using it as its main advertisement for the manga.. but the manga itself is pretty good...
the oneshot didn't even seem like it was a ecchi manga... (and i don't think her boobs were that big in the actual manga)
i read the oneshot, and it doesn't even have half the ecchiness as ToLoveRu does, and the oneshot only had two or three fanservice, and they didn't mess up the manga or anything.... it felt a lot like Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi....

i'm pretty sure Medaka Box will turn out to be a comedy, school-life manga, with some fanservice, but it doesn't seem like its going to base its story entirely on fanservice and ecchi, like ToLoveRu is doing right now.... it seemed like its going to be a pretty good series, and i'm actually looking forward to it.

but then, its just a oneshot, so who knows whats going to happen in the real series/

shush it's fun to poke with sticks let's keep it up

 

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

I haven't seen too many series that diverge from their original one-shots (assuming they had one). So if stands to reason that anyone who did not like the one-shot probably won't like the series either (which sucks for me).

Of course, the irony in it all is that you're judging it based off of the raw, when what we're really looking forward to is the writing (though art isn't bad either). In other words, give it a chance.

 

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

Oh, I definitely planning on giving it a chance, I'm just not expecting to be blown away...

 

[ruggia]

....
you guys are basing your opinion based on just the art.....
just so you know, its not about Judo (i saw several people with this misconception)....

 

[Adieu]

Anyone knows anything about BLUST, the OS by Murata-sensei?
I'm so curious about it...

No, I did say the art was nice, and I'm expecting good things from the writing considering the background of the author. Also, Mr.Prince gave us a good summary of what it's about, and he said it was sket dance-ish in a way that they help others, so I doubt many will think it's about Judo anymore. Not sure if that'll carry on, but only time will tell.

 

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

I hope it will be different from Sket. Hoop Men is a perfect example of what can happen when ideas are recycled. The author is pretty famous and wrote some good things so I don't think it will be be some brainless ecchi, but the story has to be good and usually it's hard to find a good balance (the story and characters have to be very good to make me overlook the ecchi).

 

[Maxy Barnard]

hoop men is a perfect example of what can happen recycling an idea?

no, not really. it's nothing like the other running basketball series, or any others i can think of. i just don't think it clicked with the demographic

 

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

My only point was that it was about basketball and Jump already had one running at the time. I was not trying to analyze any further than that...

 

[Sexy Randal 105]

or.... have a girlfriend? (transvestites/sexuals are fine too in this example)

anyway, i don't think people can purely talk down on a series because they have an issue with the concept. inumaru dashi has some unique and brilliant gags in the first 18 chapters (i need more), and i was probably amongst the first bashing it, especially as the author had previous notoriety against him.

I do, but I assumed for people who don't. lol

Found this in Ritual forum : D

The first thing that came to mind from from the image was that I see Hiruma's rifle and the main character is going for a trident tackle.

 

[Sexy Randal 105]

I love Tony Stark...oh wait..

 

[[Cross]]

His jacket seems to have an acronym, sorta like S.W.A.T. so it may be military based.

 

[Magicoreo]

Ah I hope BLUST gets scanlated here, it looks interesting...
