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

[Asuka0112]

So Momijind follows Jump's oneshot version with some little change and it's interesting. Now we have another romcom without ecchi just like Nise Koi but since Nise Koi are doing well, I wonder how far momiji can go... It'll be hard for them.

I hope at least it won't be given a dead end. .

Btw, a little weird that Jump didn't take a break this Golder Week.

 

[Kaiten]

Pajamas's getting a cp, nisekoi doing well and now a new romcom... Is jump going back to the past?

Jump's audience is aging, much of their vaunted young teen audience are now older teens. The success of One Piece seems to have lured more older readers to Jump, with readers over 19 now making up a significant part of their audience. The editors choice in new series reflects this, with more series that would appeal to older readers and less fantasy manga, which generally appeal most strongly to younger teens.

Here are demographics for 2011. Compare how much younger the average reader was in 2010. The media guide for 2012 is not yet out.

Sad to see Bleach so low, it's been pretty good lately. One Piece should be ahead of Naruto, but that is what it is. Even Sabaody could not compete with the Uchiha brothers, at least not in rankings.

Could have something to do with the percentage of adults reading OP compared to Naruto, but that's nothing but a guess. To clarify, I don't think adult readers are voting much.

What do you mean? Jump did take break on GW.

 

[meeedoooz]

Naruto taking first place was expected with the twist of the uchiha brothers meeting . i'm glad it's over one piece and hope it stays that way. ( stopped enjoying OP a long time ago)

as for gintama that's wonderful beating both naruto and op one week then getting 3rd place is very cool.

do you know the percentage of adults reading op and naruto ? if so then please could you share a link or something ?

The high placement of Nisekoi and HQ is probably the work of older readers. My guess is Naruto can thank Sasuke for reaching number one, Sasuke heavy chapters usually rank first. It should be noted that the entire top five, with the exception of new series HQ, are extremely popular with female readers. Naruto, One Piece, Gintama, and Toriko have large female followings, a market Jump has been exceptional at exploiting.

Naruto has been getting a lot of 1st places before the whole " sasuke and uchiha brothers " thing. the war arc is getting really interesting though the meeting of the uchiha brothers is a factor it's not the whole reason behind naruto taking the first place

Nice that Gintama is still doing well. I'm pretty sure it'll stay in the top 5 for a while, the current arc is awesome. Naruto being first is somewhat expected since both Sasuke and Itachi are in it, they both do have the biggest fan bases in Naruto. Though I doubt it'll stay in first. Kinda sad to se bleach so low, I may have dropped it but I dont think it's bad enough to be in the bottom 4.

Toriko has a large female following?

Momiji is a little ecchi. The first chapter has some panty scene.

 

[Negative Syndicate]

Koisome has ecchi

I'm not sure. The first chapter doesn't really have ecchi; it is even less than Pajama.

In change of subject, I wonder which series going to be the new bottom dwellers for next cancellation session. My bet is Mago, Medaka, Magico, and Kurogane; however, I don't think Mago and Medaka will be axed.

 

[wintercry]

I guess so, since chapter 1 of Koisome only has one panty shot.
Also with Hq!! being well received, I'd say Kurogane, too. But... yeah, we'll never know.

On another note, is Inumaru ending soon?

Well the readership of OP is well known. Here is the link:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2011-02-09/nhk/9/10ths-of-one-piece-manga-buyers-are-adults
However I never knew that something like that was done for naruto. I googled a little bit but I only found an old article from 2009 on some kind of anime porn site:
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/08/10/top-10-manga-of-2009-demographic-breakdown/

Dou you have any statics regarding Toriko. I somehow can't believe that Toriko has a big female following. For me Toriko is a Manga for manly man. I can't see the appeal to females. No romance like storyline, no bishonen characters, extremely old fashioned art style. Yes it does have a certain gay undertone but still hard to believe

 

[wintercry]

Maybe the topless buffs attract female readers?

Actually,I wouldn't be surprised.There are enough women who like incredibly manly men.I guess it's also their manly character that appeals to them.

There's a big female fanbase for Coco, from what I've seen. Plenty of BL fanart, too.

Has anyone seen any proof of the rumor about Inumaru ending being true?

 

[Teeba]

There's a big female fanbase for Coco, from what I've seen. Plenty of BL fanart, too.

I just did a quick look at Pixiv's Super Comic City 21 tag for Toriko, and about 50 doujinshi circles shows up, all of them either BL or BL overtones. I dunno if that has any value to it, it certainly is more than Beelzebub.

But to be honest, if its in Jump and it sells well, there is going to be a decent sized fujoshi fanbase and BL attached to it. KochiKame seems to be the only exception.

 

[Negative Syndicate]

Is Nisekoi did sold all of its first print out? Because this page didn't list Nieskoi; http://www.s-book.net/plsql/sbook_shuei_juhan.

 

[Schabrak]

It's been mentioned that they were sold out in many places, often only having a couple remaining volumes left. Someone posted some twitter or 2chan messages where people pointed out shops with volumes.

 

[vampire killer]

how is kurogane selling?
