So Toriko gets the cover for their 1st year anniversary, compare to Psyren and Mago.

Toriko does sell better then Pysren and has a higher place in the TOC then Mago.

Wow... I'm more pissed at Bakuman #3 selling 200k copies.

Bakuman is good, but not 200k-sales-good. It's like people eat anything Ohba and Obata pull out of their asses. Or maybe because a lot of little kids wanna grow up to be mangakas and read Bakuman as some kind of reference/insight into the mangaka world.

I don't care how much Psyren sells, as long as they don't cancel it... :\

I just hope that Psyren's and Sket Dance's sales increase, although that would also mean Shueisha is dominating the charts.

With Beelzebub doing so well in the TOC, Any one think that will translate to high sales when the first volume comes out?

That's hard to tell... some series are high in the ToCs but have crappy sales (Inumaru is an example). But if it's true that Beelze is already starting to become a battle manga, then I can see its sales being pretty decent as early as volume 1.

Actually, Inumaru's ranking was not that in high in the beginning. It recently went up to top 5.

I'm not sure why Beezle is so high. It is a good series, but not as good as Sket Dance (in both art and comedy). It has some very funny moments, but it lacks something.

I agree with the art, but the comedy is way better than Sket Dance. Sket Dance's comedy style are very similar to Gintama (or influenced from Gintama because Shinohara was an assistant of Sorachi), so there is not much impact on Sket Dance's comedy. I think Beelzebub is much better series than Ske Dance.

I think it is due to the fact that there hasn't been a nice Juvenile Delinquent (the "Yankee" genre) series with appealing art in WSJ for a long time... (Bari Haken was nice, but the art might not be attractive enough for everyone). So when a decent one like Beelze comes along, it's bound to attract some of the younger readers who never read -Boy- or Rookies... (though, technically, Rookies can also be considered as a Sports series... )

i don't think that Beelzebub will be a long manga like a 100 chaps or anything, i think it'll end within the next 10-20 chapters.

 

[Kaiten]

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

No, actually it won't. The critical ranking period is the first 10 weeks. If a series is consistantly rated in the top ten during that time it is pretty much guaranteed to last a year. Sket, Psyren, and Mago all consistantly ranked in the top ten for more then ten weeks. Beelzebub has also ranked in the top ten long enough to guarantee it a year.

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

^^ i mean that the author might not be planning for a long manga, if he is i wanna see a skirmish in hell or heaven

 

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

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

I would too, but let's not oversell the plot. Only four things have been show so far. Deliquents. Naked baby. Reluctant protagonist. Weak villains. Nothing has been shown that would indicate anything deeper. I hope it happens though.

I could see Beezlebub turning into a a series like Reborn. They are going through introductions now, but will eventually get into battle manga territory.

 

[Finestela]

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

I'm more gearing toward it being something similar to A Cheeky Angel or Ocha ni Gosu (without the gag/pun though, but more comedy).

We don't need another Reborn...

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

I'm actually curious about what the fandom/Jump reaction will be if it doesn't go into the full-blown battle manga route. It seems many are hoping that is the way it goes.

God help me if there's any box animals.

There would be box demons and angels instead. >.>

I died a little inside just thinking about that.
