Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2011 - 2012] - Discussion and TOC Talk

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 2

Remember when Oda missed his deadline and suddenly was placed towards the bottom of the TOC? Remember three issues ago when Kubo got sick and Bleach went on surprise hiatus? Last week he had color pages but funny how Bleach fell all of a sudden this week.

Isn't that Pajama first rank ? That's not terrible compared to HQ (a color page followed by 23 pages). Did jump readers do not like overuse of ecchi pose ? It seems like Manga Editors took the wrong horse.
Now that St&rs is gone, the last place will become interesting. Although if some series naturally end like it is suggested it could be safe for some time

And a one piece color just when the covers reach the war arc, damn you teaser Oda !

I have a feeling Pajama will replace St&rs at the bottom. A first ranking just above the bottom five is a bad sign.

No more series will be axed, Bakuman will end soon and we'll have two new series in issue 23 and 24.
Pakki is the only series really in danger of axing but it will be featured in spring's next, and usually only the series not featured in next are in danger of axing. The only series not in the next this time is ST&RS which has just been axed.
Unless there are still fools who think that Mago could be axed.

There have been rumblings that one of the two gag manga, or both, could be ending soon.

I'm terribly sad that St&rs is ending, but it ended up lasting a lot longer than I thought it would, so for that I'm happy~

ST&RS personally I never liked, but it was logical that it would be canceled.
Magico is so little that I dislike, but hours will count more sales volume...
pajama started badly.
Bakuman must end now, let's hope they do as medaka.

Wait when did that happen? So you are implying that authors that miss deadlines/take breaks are automatically placed on the lower end of the TOC?

It was years ago when Oda missed the deadlines. However, I didn't know that taking breaks are also considered to be placed in lower half of the ToC.

Taking breaks is different from being absent unexpectedly

For those who are interested, Cross Manage is a sport love comedy oneshot.

Is it about lacrosse?

Damn. I was not expecting D.Gray-man to beat its contemporaries, Gintama & Reborn on its first week. O_O In the past, it quite easily sold 240,000 copies within the first few days, but the fact that its risen so much without an animation backing it up is really something. (Of course, there is no other mega hit that's been released either besides Blue Exorcist and HxH, so I know its a rare occurence).

The comic sales this week are quite exciting...the first ten are all Jump series! And Magico is hanging in there!

D.Gray-man was already outsold Gintama and Reborn since it started.

June Scheduled Jump Comic Releases *Updated*
Kochikame #180
BLEACH #55
REBORN！#39
Beelzebub #16
magico #06
ST＆RS #05 (Fin)
Haikyu!! #01
Pajama na Kanojo #01 <---
Pakki

- Kuroko #18 and Gintama #45 are no longer scheduled to be released in June and will most likely release in July.
- Pakki is not given a volume number on the official Shueisha site.
- Beelzebub #16 is listed for May on Amazon.co.jp
- Bakuman #18 is scheduled for May and #19 is scheduled for June. It is highly likely that Bakuman will finish on #20 which will be chapter 178 which will be published in Issue #24.

Random pre-order Info for May Comics
- ST&RS #04 and Kurogane #03 are doing awful
- PSI Kusou Saki is doing 5x worse than ST&RS and Kurogane
- Nisekoi #01 is most likely going to outsell Magico, ST&RS and Kurogane by a fairly large margin. Nisekoi is currently doing a bit better than Harisugawa's first volume did, but they are too close so it is impossible to tell.

Guess that seemingly confirms Packy's cancellation.

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 2

Aww thats horrible to hear Kurogane is doing bad. Shueisha needs to hurry up and transfer Kurogane here so it can sell more.

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 2

So bakuman will end, always good when a manga (in WSJ) ends not short, not that long , its rare nowadays. And it ends in a good note (the last 10 or so chaps have been really good!).

A lot of series are potentially in the last arc like Bleach, Naruto, Reborn, Nura,... but I can't see them ending in less than a year.

From Manga-news Japon, it said that St&rs, Bakuman, and Pakky will end this session and there going to be three new series (I'm confident to say that one of new series will be Hungry Joker).

 

[FrostyMouse]

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 2

At least we know for sure now that Bakuman really is going to end and the editors aren't going to force them to go any longer.

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 2

I guess since most of popular series reach the 40+ volumes :-)

I noticed a funny thing if the fact that inumaru ends soon is true, then both it and Bakuman will have started and ended at almost the same time
