i guess it could be because the characters are set as more realistic, but looking at those, this guy improved his art a lot. its much more detailed and looks a lot better than Zan.
I hope someone scan this

Please discuss anything related to Naruto's 10th Anniversary in the Naruto forum. All posts related to Naruto's 10th anniversary have been deleted. Thanks~~

Yeah, it's Wingman. Really need to get back to that series but everything that's been going on, from translations to real life, has prevented me from doing so.

In all fairness, it's catching up, one series at a time. And it can hardly be blamed for handing out trading cards when that's what the audience wants. If Toriko and Bakuman do end up in the magazine next year, then it'll be another step in making it more like WSJ, except for a... slightly younger audience?

WSJ isn't profitable on its own, is it? I thought Shueisha actually lost money on it - it regained the money through tank sales. All things considered, while the English version could be a *little* thicker (IMO), I'd say it's a pretty decent overseas version for a far smaller and slightly younger audience. And they're making improvements, too.

Though I kind of miss the days when you'd hear about older or more unusual series. Oh well.

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

^That is right. Manga magazines are either loss leaders or make a very small profit. There is a reason they are black and white and printed on shit paper. Publishers, no matter what country, lose money when there product is sold at newsstands. For most magazines profit is generated by subscriptions, For manga they make it up in tankobon sales. From what I understand, and this could be wrong, manga anthologies only get a limited number of subscribers.

The US Shonen Jump is monthly - the series running are Naruto, OP, Bleah, Tegami Bachi (from Jump SQ), Ultimo (also from SQ), YuYuHakusho (about to end), and Yu-Gi-Oh GX, IIRC. Naruto is close to being up-to-date, Bleach is a fair ways in, and they're going to have OP catch up soon.

If you mean WSJ, the Japanese one, well... =P

To add to what Kaiten.Sama said:

Targeted towards young adult males, the first issue required three printings to meet consumer demand, with over 300,000 copies sold. It was awarded the ICv2 "Comic Product of the Year" award in December 2002, and has continued to enjoy high sales with a monthly circulation of 215,000 in 2008. Approximately half of its circulation comes from subscriptions rather than store sales.

So SJ might get some of its profit from subscriptions, too...?

 

[Kaiten]

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

I guess subscriptions account for a lot of U.S. Shonen Jump's profits. Shojo Beat was canceled for lack of, even though Shojo Beat graphic novels are among VIZ's highest sellers.

Toriko and Bakuman. will be added to Shonen Jump this winter.

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

After bakuman is aded to US WSJ I'll probably start buying it it's only 5 $ for month it's not that much.

How many chapters of each series are released each month? because 1 chapter each series seems like nothing.

 

[Kaiten]

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

Depends on the series. Bleach, OP, and Naruto get multiple chapters. TB and Ultimo only get one. Can't remember for the rest.

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

Naruto - 4, Bleach - 3, One Piece - 2, YuYu - 2 (final appearance in January replaced by Toriko) Tegami Bachi - 1, GX - 1, Ultimo 1
Then sometimes you get 1st chapters of series that aren't published in the magazine like, Death Note, WaqWaq, Zombie Loan etc.

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

I have a quick question. I know that JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is second longest series in Shonen Jump, behind KochiKame.

Does JoJo passed 100,000,000 sales or not? And can anyone tell me total tank sells for JoJo (including Steel Ball Run)?

Yu-Gi-Oh GX also made it's final appearance in the magazine in January's issue. It will be continued in volume releases. Toriko is starting in February's issue but the preview states that it's a 3 issue preview, so I guess it won't stay in the magazine beyond that. Hopefully Bakuman will be a permanent addition whenever it enters the magazine.

 

[Akiyama]

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

Bakuman will be in the May issue. Thanks for your input about GX (very happy now ).
Toriko isn't staying around that's some sad news

 

[Drmke]

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

I was wondering what other series besides YuYu Hakusho they would take out. They never have more than 7 series running seems like. Yeah hopefully Bakuman will stay in it, but taking Toriko out just means they will either put in another series, start running more manga previews, or have more chapters of each series in the mag.

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

I didn't follow this what's with Toriko? Is it cancelled? I thought it's the biggest hit since... since a long time.

Oh.. you guys talking about the american Jump I get it now.
