Sounds like DGM won't be returning for another five weeks at this rate, unless Hoop gets to a perfect cut point all of a sudden... but then again, it's such a perfect cushion that it'd be tough to replace it with a series they wouldn't cancel. Darn.

Also curious about that "important announcement". Might be a good time (in terms of usual announcements) for a drama, since there's just over a month until the spring season ends... That'd certainly be interesting!

The big announcement caught my attention ^^

Issue 27 is so bland. Inumaru with center color :/ Meh.

Yeah, but we know that it'll definitely give Noodles a heart attack or two...

Yes it will u_u Hopefully the MH paramedics are quick to the scene. Truth be told, Inumaru's mangaka, who's name I never bothered to remember, does phenomenal color work.

That'd be weird if Kochikame's announcement was that it was ending. =P

Isn't Psyren supposed to get extra-pages in this issue?

23p.

Yes and I don't think that's just a given. There's definitely a reason behind it: I have always thought psyren getting better ratings after kabuto jumped in dholaki's explosia and just after that chapter's rating, it gets 23 pages. No coincidence at all

I really think they just don't give those 23 pages for nothing. Well we might see next week (unless 23 pages isn't a fixed position). sigh mostly my predictions are off, maybe I should have said the opposite or shouldn't have made one

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

It certainly is promotional. Keep in mind it is one of four series getting extra pages this week. Akaboshi gets 29p and color for it's second chapter, obligatory, I know. Kuroko gets 25p and color. Medaka Box gets 25p and Psyren 23.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

holy crap inumaru just never stops getting colour. a solid sign of it's popularity with the anthology readers if nothing else....

and no i didn't have a heart attack

Don't weekly series usually get around 23 pages anyway? Psyren usually only has 19 though. It's not THAT out of the ordinary.

Nah, most series get 19 pages every week. Except for D.Gray-Man, which gets 17, and Jaguar, which gets 7. 23 pages isn't THAT big of a deal, but it's definitely something worth mentioning.

BTW, koenosaki, I think your prediction's right this time. It's just too much of a coincidence not to be true. And Psyren isn't on this week's bottom 5, which is another good sign. Also, if Kabuto's "death" chapter doesn't raise its popularity, the following one certainly will. Every Psyren fan I know had a fangasm with the Elmore kids' intervention in the battle against Dholaki and Shiner.

EDIT: and as far as I know, only chapters with color pages are put in a fixed position. Which means Psyren is ranked this week.

4-6 pages more is a lot for a weekly series. Around 1/3 more content than usual and certainly very useful for portraying a critical plot moment, if the mangaka does it right

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

I wonder if it will have to do with Tatsuo.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

we can only hope.

(also randal this whole butthurt one piece fan thing over at the lj comm is just getting funny now XD)

so yeah, sket dance being bottom five sucks...

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

Something tells me it'll show what happened to Oboro. I have a pretty good theory on how he will survive that wound, but by now I guess everyone thought the same thing, so yeah.

Thank you, at least someone who believes in my prediction and yeah it is the fangasm (also part of my personal feeling) about the latest chapters (I do want to say that storywriting wise this action shounen psyren is lately doing better than some other regular ones) that makes me believe psyren might be doing better. I really wouldn't believe the 23 pages is just given for no reason. A gift (23p) is something you get for a positive reason

and last but not least, welcome and always hop by in the psyren section

Nice, math(s) can show us indeed how a small number like 4-6 can mean a lot in the complete outcome I didn't see it that way but I do lack a decent supply of math(s)

[eni]I have dyscalculia, so no use on complimenting me on math [/eni]

The only things I can really say: Hoop Men is protecting To-Love as Bokke did before, Psyren is relatively safe compared to the others, and...who the heck knows what the KochiKame announcement is.

Hoop Men doesn't seem long for this world ^^ It'll be gone by Bon. what goes with it is the interesting question.

I'm quite curious about the Kochikame announcement. Whatever it is could be interesting. For now, I'm thinking a new anime this fall.

It could just be another special like they had before.
