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

[Nii]

Currently reading:

Hunter x Hunter
Naruto
Nisekoi
One Piece
Sket Dance
Medaka Box
Toriko
Bleach
Nurarihyon no Mago
Magico

It's strange but the series I enjoy the most atm is Nisekoi, chapter never disappoints and always makes me laugh. I'm so glad Komi found a series to use his full potential. Sket Dance is great too, the first comedy series I didn't drop. Hunter x Hunter easily surpasses most or all the series in WSJ, I really hope Togashi's break won't be as long as the last one.

The other series heavily depend on the released chapter, they have the potential to be great but sometimes you can't help being disappointed.

Dropped Pajama after reading the first three chapters, wasn't my thing I plan to read Bulge though, with all the praise around here.

Magico

Don't know about you but I'm on the verge of dropping it. Chapters are average most of the time and I catch myself only reading it when there's nothing else :/

 

[Silverblade]

I read and rate Shonen Jack manga in this order:

1. One Piece

2. Gintama

3. Hunter x Hunter
4. Beelzebub
5. Niseikoi
6. Sket Dance
7. Sensei no Bulge
8. Medaka Box
9. Nurarihyon no Mago
10. Magico
11. Toriko
12. Pajama no Kanojo
13. Bleach
14. Naruto
15. Katekyo Hitman Reborn

It's a damn shame that not so many people read Gintama. It's an amazing manga inferior to none bar One Piece.

 

[Schabrak]

One Piece, Bleach, Toriko, HxH, Naruto, Reborn, Pajama up-to-date, last one might be dropped, I wish Reborn will end after this or the next arc. Would like to read the other comedy manga, but it's hard to get into long-running unfinished series or overly ecchi suff in general. Magico looks interesting, but the latest posts here don't really encourage me to read more.

Maybe they just watch the Anime, someone mentioned that the jokes are easier to understand/break the language and culture wall in animated form. I do so at least.

 

[Drmke]

I read:

One Piece
Hunter x Hunter
Naruto (bored with it but I want to finish it)
Bleach (I actually don't even remotely like this anymore...I think I read it out of habit)
Nurarihyon no Mago (Naruto syndrome)
Kurogane
Nisekoi
Haikyu!!
Pajama na Kanojo
Sensei no Bulge

Mostly new series. I've dropped nearly every other series.

 

[Asgaroth]

no specific order:

1. Nisekoi (highly enjoyable)
2. HQ!! (highly enjoyable)
3. Momiji
4. Naruto
5. Bleach
6. Nisekoi
7. Kuroko no Basket
8. Pajama
9. Beelzebub
10. Medaka Box
11. Skat Dance
12. Bulge
13. Hunter x Hunter (Hiatus)
14. Magico (nearly dropped)
15. Reborn (nearly dropped)
16. kurogane (nearly dropped)

One Piece (dropped)
Toriko (dropped)
Gintama (dropped)

Looks like I'm the one who reads the most series in jump and also the only one who dislikes one piece... looks like I'm a oddball xD

 

[k-dom]

Read and enjoy
1. One Piece
2. Sket Dance (each day with a release of Sket Dance is a good day)
3. Beelzebub
4. HxH
5. Gintama (by burst)

Read and enjoy sometime
5. Toriko
6. Bleach (on hold at the moment)
7. Mago

Wait and see
8. HQ!
9. Bulge

Dropped
Naruto (I was not a real fan, but the war was too much for me)
Reborn (I may finish it again if it is really in its final stage but it won't be a serie I would advice to start)
Medaka Box (there was a limit to how much I could accept the unrealistic and crazy side of this manga)
Magico (The plot and art did not really make me want to read more)
Nisekoi (I was tired of seing two guys yelling after each other chapter long and people still think they can be in love...)
Pajama (The two first chapters did not really appeal me, I may start it again given the good comments if it survives)

Are we discussing on "the series that I'm currently reading in Jump," again?

No it was in Sunday last week, and it seems that for myself Sunday and Magazine cannot really compete. I only read 2 or 3 series in them...

 

[HalcyonDigest]

There seems to be a little of discussion. At least a lot of people talking about the current state of Reborn.
I used to read every series in Jump but I have recently (a couple of months ago) dropped a big chunk of them. Right now I only read.

Sket Dance
Medaka Box
Beelzebub
Hunter X Hunter (whenever it's not on hiatus)
Gintama
Haikyu!
Sensei no Balge

I'm planning on picking up Toriko and One Piece again at some point, just didn't really feel like reading these series weekly.

 

[crimsonlink310]

My list:

1. Bleach (A bit sad that its the final arc but happy with how the war is going so far)

2. One Piece (Feeling a bit of One Piece fatigue as its been almost 700 chapters and the end is nowhere near in sight)

3. Beelzebub (My comedy manga and I love the setting)

4. Reborn! (Should end soon but I'm happy with it overall)

5. Kurogane (Hope it doesn't get canceled)

6. Naruto (Personally hope that this arc is the last one as I might drop if it goes beyond the 4th Shinobi War arc)

7. Toriko (Getting into this slowly)

8. Gintama (Same as Toriko)

9. Medaka Box (Gonna wait for the manga to hit 300s before bothering to read this, interested in it a lot though)

10. HunterXHunter (Hiatus of course, hope it comes back soon. Not as good as YYH IMO but YYH is my favorite manga of all time so that isn't fair)

I might give the other jump titles a try if they peak my interest with their first 10 chapters.

 

[Teeba]

I'm kind of like Bomber de Rufi, most of the series I read aren't in Jump (they aren't in Sunday either). I read:

Beelzebub
Medaka Box
Bleach (sometimes)
Pajama no Kanojo

I have a tendency of dropping series really fast. I'll read all chapters that are available and then not bother to read the rest. xD I really do want to catch up on Gintama, though. I bought all remaining volumes and hope to read through the current gap in Edited Mangas.

 

[Asgaroth]

Pajama (The two first chapters did not really appeal me, I may start it again given the good comments if it survives)

it's pretty echi in the beginning but now after ~7 chapters it starts to envelope a typical rom-com fantasy story, without panty-shots. i just hope that the mangaka won't have the same problem with it like Kagami, because of the invisible heroine.

Koisome Momiji
was better now than it was in the one-shot. didn't see that coming. the panty-shot looked more like a plot device than "fanservice", that will keep up coming in the next chapters. did the mangaka did anything before, because the drawings really great and the characters look also fabulous.

OP's middle part did end with the TS, it will be hard to look for an end, when the last third of the plot just started.
You would miss the closure of the manga[Naruto], just because it will take a bit more than the war to finish the story?

 

[Haato]

The series I enjoy from Jump is:

Medaka Box
One Piece
Kuroko no Basuke
Bleach
Nisekoi
Beelzebub
Sket Dance

 

[Asclepius]

Hehe, i'm glad i'm not the only one to read just a few.

Naruto
Bleach

Most of the mangas that I read are Boys Love. :P

 

[Inumaru]

In order of preference:

Sket Dance
Toriko
Gintama
One Piece
Saiki
Bulge
Inumaru
Haikyu
Beelzebub
Kuroko
Nura
Kurogane
Magico
Pajama
Nisekoi

Dropped:

Naruto
Bleach
Reborn
Medaka

 

[Crude]

Right now I read:

- One Piece
- Hunter x Hunter (Hiatus)
- Sket Dance
- Reborn!
- Bleach
- Bulge (am I the only one who finds the name odd? xD)

Series I need to catch up with:

- Toriko
- Beelzebub
- Nurarihyon no Mago
- Gintama
- Nisekoi
- Medaka Box (maybe, only because I want to see what the big fuss concerning Kumagawa is about xD)

Series I need to check out:

- Pajama no Kanojo
- HQ!

Funny thing is that I'm still a pretty hardcore Naruto fan, but I've stopped reading it just so I could be surprised with what I see in the anime. Tried doing that several times with Bleach but to no avail (now especially seeing as the anime suddenly ended).

 

[Zeromcd]

Last week a random guy give information about Koganeiro being a 3 chapter short series 1 day before the TOC came out and it seems this week he gave the TOC. It could possibly be a fake but the chances of it being true are fairly high. It makes for interesting discussion in either case.

[Drmke]

If that's real then I guess Inumaru ending was true and Pajama tanked hard. I'm gonna hold off accepting this till it's confirmed just because I don't want the Pajama part to be true...

 

[MattC302]

I'm hoping it's real so we get a One Piece color page next week.

My turn

Reading
- One Piece
- Naruto
- Bleach
- Gintama
- Reborn!
- Hunter x Hunter
- Sket Dance
- Nurarihyon no Mago
- Inumaru Dashi
- Kuroko no Basket
- Beelzebub
- Medaka Box
- Nisekoi
- Haikyuu
- Pajama
- Koisome Momiji
- Sensei no Bulge

My favourite series that I enjoy reading the most every week are Nisekoi and Haikyuu.

Dropped
- Toriko (ch.172)
- PSI Kusuo Saiki (ch.3)
- Kochikame (ch.1)
- Magico (ch.52ish)
- Kurogane (ch.28ish)

Toriko - It was interesting but everything just seemed so gross
PSI Kusuo Saiki - It just wasn't my thing
Magico - Stopped enjoying it at chapter 14 when the fire guy came in. I usually don't care about pacing in a series but Magico takes fast pacing to a whole other level. Characters are annoying.
Kurogane - Boring and kinda stupid, the Author is also a douche.
Kochikame - I will read it all one day......

Series that I own (Tankobon)
- One Piece
- Naruto
- Bleach
- Gintama (dropped)
- Reborn!
- Hunter x Hunter
- Sket Dance
- Nurarihyon no Mago
- Inumaru Dashi
- Kuroko no Basket
- Beelzebub
- Medaka Box
- Nisekoi
- Haikyuu (pre-ordered)
- Magico (dropped)

I was going to buy the first volume of Pajama, but I haven't enjoyed the series since the rape guy came in and it also tanked hard (probably)

I'll most likely be buying Koisome and Bulge.

 

[bskbob]

I read almost the entire mag on a weekly basis only series i'm not up to date are Kochikame and Inumaru.
