Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 1

[RocketWobbuffet]

It looks like we finally got Mx0 part 2.
The new characters are just like Taiga and Hiiragi. o.0

 

[ZayCon]

I think the art of Kagami no Kuni looked very good. I'll probably read it from the beginning, if anyone does the English Edited Manga.

Same goes for ST&RS.

The only new manga I've kept distance to it Ikkyu. But that's only because people say it's very good, and I don't want another painful cancellation. I'll read it as soon as it's established though.

Btw. Sasaki is such a teaser:

H×H will return to the lineup of #shonenjump in August. Wait and see what is gonna happen to Gon and the King.

They already said somewhere it's a romcom I think.

Thanks to Sakaki's Twitter

Issue 31! New series Harisugawa in Mirror World starts and announcement of 6 entries of Gold Future Cup is in

Shouen Jump Issue 31 Cover

So it seems that Kagami no Kuni's Author didn't change his pen name, they just spelt it wrong on the official jump website.

lol, it indeed looks quite unprofessional even compared to *cough*ours*cough* and that isn't the most professional out there either :P

anyway, quite the nice cover, totally looking forward to the series which hopefully won't be too much romance - rather like Loop by the same author

I didn't really expect anything else, of course. It's just that it's been so long since the last chapter was published. Therefore I call it "teasing", when he's marketing HxH and wants to make us excited.

 

[Crude]

While I'd much rather see Kano do a dark series like his Loop one-shot, or even something a little more shonen and action-orientated, it'd be nice to have a romance manga in the magazine. As far as I know this is going to be the only romance series currently in the magazine (though does Magico count as one as well?). Its nice to see that his artwork is appealing as always !

Well, it's just a facebook page, so we can't expect much since there's also a english shonenjump website xD

Kanou also wants to do dark series, but he decide to do romantic comedy series because it has more commercial success than dark series. That's why he mostly do romantic comedy series than dark series.

Also, everyone said Mx0 and Pretty Face got axed, actually Kanou decides to end those two series. Kanou said he hit the limit making those series, that's why he decides to end them. I think Kanou is not good at making long series.

not sure about pretty face but Mx0 was axed because of poor sells. look at the ending that ends in the middle of anything and tell me that he planned to end it like that.

 

[Negative Syndicate]

Actually, Kano said he ended Mx0 because he faced limits on making this series (it is written on his third volume of collection on one shots). Also, Mx0 didn't have poor tank sells; it had pretty decent tank sales, since it regularly ranked in Oricon Top 30.

 

[97gsxminus1bolt]

If I remember correctly mx0 at the time was always ranking in the bottom. Especially with that ending I am sure it was cancelled.

Mx0's ranking was kind of like bouncing up and down, but not as worse as to be axed. Also, Kano said that he ended Mx0 because he hits the limit.

 

[Rejuvenation]

If anything, that just makes Kano look worse as a writer rather than having the more understanding narrative of he just got cancelled because of poor rankings. That knocks him down a few pegs in my standings but don't mind me. >__>

 

[murtas]

Yeah, I agree with rejuvenation, if an author reach his limits with a story without finishing it, then he lacks something and has alot to learn it but on the other hand he still has alot of room to improve and if his manga are already very pleasing, then he can hit something great when he improves.
