Color pages seem to be a reward for preforming well on the TOC, sales don't seem to have much to do with it. Look at ToRa, great sales, terrible rankings, no covers, very little color. Mago was similar to Psyren, good early results before dropping for a long time. Only Mago has sold well from the start and hasn't dropped to the bottom five in a long time, so it's been starting to get more color recently.

^Unless you are Kuroko. You will get colors even if you keep dropping into the bottom 5 or even hit dead last. =P

I'm not sure but in one of bakuman chapters they said they pay twice as much for coloured pages. (not sure if it was twice )

Kubo must have made a nice sum from all the color whoring Bleach had going on this year.

I wonder how much ability/desire to produce color factors in. Maybe Kubo can whip together a splash in like five minutes while Iwashiro labors for three days :/

If a series is going to be whored at least it's a good one like Beelzebub. And hey, It may not get color pages but Tamura was an assistant on Psyren!

That what I always thought was one of the key factors. That's why I used to think Bleach used to get a lot of colors. While his color pages do look pretty awesome (most of the time) that don't seem as time consuming as say a OP color spread usually is.

How long do you think it took for Obata and Shiibashi to put the colors in? Considering Bakuman and Mago's color are always amazing and quite detailed, I don't think it's easy or took a short while to create

The last two Bleach colour pages were pretty bare-boned unfortunately. The others tend to be awesome though.

Naruto also seems to get a lot of colour pages, maybe due to the colouring style having degraded into simple cel-shading . They're still pretty good though.

Wish Psyren had more colour pages. It has plenty of great ones, but the last was horribly bland.

Wow, this weeks Magazine is looking pretty good. One Piece, Bakuman, Naruto, Bleach, all had great, great chapters.

The way you capitalized magazine makes it look like you were talking about Shounen Magazine, the same way people refer to this magazine by Jump.

I think Kubo is a pretty talented and skilled drawer especially when it comes to faces, I think he's just fast at drawing characters.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

well,obata is coloring his drawings quite quickly,just look at how many colored pages he did for death note and at such a high level!!
though the drawings from bakuman are a huge step back!!!!death note's art and the art of the previous manga he drew were thousand times better,bakuman's art is still good,but not as excellent as before....

and it's also sad how kishimoto's colorings have gotten so badwow....cell-shading...even i am better at coloring than him
he was so good before

Yeah he may have but grat autors get money from tanks so Kishimoto, Oda (especialy), and kubo are swiming in money.

And about kishi's art I think the original naruto's style was so much better.

Bakuman volume covers and colour pages do look awesome.

By the way this migth not be the apropriate place to ask but now that the Gintama anime is ending will they make OVAs with the remaining chapter like HunterxHunter or D.gray-man?

True, don't really care about it though, lol. But you can't forget that this is Weekly Shounen Jump Magazine's thread :P

@Googlez_kun: I don't think that's the case with Oba, what I think he's doing is trying to appeal the drawing to younger readers, I do think they look more childish. If you go back a few chapters the art is actually as good as Deathnote.

He's either trying new stuff, or he's sick. Because I've honestly never heard of a Mangaka getting worse at his drawings, and less a mangaka who doesn't have to think about the Manga's history.

Then again, you might be right :P Exceptions exist after all.

So that leaves issue 42 as the only missing cover.

There is still no news for Hunter's return. If it did come back, we should get an information by now.If Hunter doesn't return, I think there might be only 2 outs on next round (maybe).

After reading some series past few weeks, I'm thinking that Medaka is going toward the end, well I might be wrong, too. Also, I, personaly, think that Kagijin got better on last few weeks. I think there is a chance that Kagijin might escape bottom 5 on few weeks after, like Akaboshi. Also, we still don't know that Wajimania will go down or not, but I can say that either Inumaru or Wajimania has to go. We don't need three short page gag series.

If Hunter x Hunter comes back it won't be until October. We will find out when color pages are announced for the appropriate issue. Since it could come back in any of the next five or six issue there is quite a bit of time for an announcement to come.

There will be probably be three series cut in November/December. It's pretty rare for only two series to debut in December, it happens, but so rarely it isn't even worth mentioning examples

Actually, Hunter's return usually announce few weeks earlier. So, I think the editors should mention Hunter's return earlier. Also, Hunter's return is still rumor, not confirmed yet.

Also, it is actually not rare for only two series in December. I think 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, and 2006 didn't had three new series on winter, so I think chance of having three new series on this year is like 50-50.

If Hunter x Hunter comes back let's hope the art is back better.

It's not like it's bad now like it was at some point but there's room for improvment.

From what I've heard, Togashi works alone with no assistants at all. That and he has an illness I hear.
