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

[kewl0210]

Zeromcd, could you tell me where you're getting the 31-50 ranks from the Oricon? I can't find anywhere on the Oricon's site or anywhere on 2ch where they post those. If you don't wanna say it publicly, could you send a PM?

 

[crimsonlink310]

TOC is always a mess IMO. There is the question of who exactly turned in a vote and how many are counted and what age group etc etc.

I believe some series are kept at the bottom just so people would actually go look through the magazine and read more than just X manga.

While I'm not happy about Bleach's ranking I'm sure it will bounce back as the arc goes on. Its not fun seeing one of your favorite manga in the bottom 5 but TOC changes each week for the most part. All I can do is wait for each weeks TOC and hope that the manga I like aren't at the bottom.

Wow, Bleach is up 120k from what it was last year. I imagine the new arc + guide book had to do with it. Those Jump editors sure are clever.

Reborn's about 10-15k down from last year (in fact, it's 7k down from this January). A gradual decrease doesn't seem that appalling, but over the long term Reborn has lost a substantial amount of sales. Two years from now (judging by the pattern it's following) it may even dip below the 200k point.

For people wondering about Bleach...

Bleach Volume 55 will be getting a reprint on July 2 due to the high amount of sales.

Turn Back the Pendulem has the highest amount of sales which isn't suprising.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a semi related note, I just ordered Bleach 55 from Kinokuniya Australia and I didn't get the Rebooted Souls. Haikyuu volume 1 has lots of extras so I'm glad I purchased it, kinda regretting not purchasing Pajama.

Jump Issue #29 Cover

 

[Rejuvenation]

Pretty good ToC. Bleach and Reborn are where they have belonged for years now. I definitely expect Kurogane and Magico to be the next ones out in 10 weeks or so when the decisions start being made. Unless one or both of them manages to hit a boost in ToC rankings. Toriko, One Piece, and Nisekoi making up the top 3 are great with me along with Sket Dance and Medaka Box holding down the middle. Virtually no complaints from me this week.

Pajama seems to have had a good first week on Oricon. Hopefully it can continue to grow in sales and not stagnate early. Also looking forward to Medaka's 3rd year anniversary colors and popularity contest.

[mshalhxh]

i heard that there will be a news about hunter x hunter in WSJ 29 is it out or not yet

 

[Kaiten]

You must have misheard, there is no Hunter x Hunter news.

 

[wintercry]

i heard that there will be a news about hunter x hunter in WSJ 29 is it out or not yet

Though, I'm curious to know where you might've heard that?

 

[mshalhxh]

let's see i heard or let me says it i read it in a picture for hunter x hunter last week in the anime discussion and it said a big news about the spiders in the 29 issue of WSJ

 

[MattC302]

It was probably the announcement of their voice actors.

 

[Asarii]

I guess the bottom 5 placement for Reborn last week wasn't one of those yo yo things after all. It'll be interesting to see how it fares for the next few weeks since its popularity has waned somewhat according to Oricon. Magico will most likely end before Nurarihyon. (Just a hunch!)

Gintama, Naruto and then ONE PIECE is on hiatus next week. It seems as if the mangaka are taking turns going on vacation.

 

[BianchiChrome]

Hello!

I wanted to know if anyone here can tell me how much promotion that Reborn! has gotten from Shonen Jump in over a year. If anyone can show me the advertisements I would be grateful.

I do not count the manga releases, chapters, and color pages because nearly all series get them many times a year. I just want to know what is out there for Reborn! other than these standard items.

 

[kewl0210]

So Nisekoi is going to have volumes coming out two months in a row? Sounds good for it. HQ is coming out fast, too.
Anyone know what "One Piece WHITE!" is? OP just came out with a data book a little while ago.

 

[Newkerzy]

* Naruto #61 will be released on July 27th. This is because the new Naruto movie will be premiering on July 28th.

Since it's coming out just a day before the movie (likely to promote said movie) I wonder if Kishi's going to include a special chapter in the volume like Mashima's doing for Vol. 33??

 

[Schabrak]

He should, since the movies by themself didn't shine at all. Even more if it's the first time[?] he wrote the story by himself.

 

[Zeromcd]

I found this chart which shows the popularity of the Jump Series on the internet through search hits. It also has the rankings from the main magazine as well. The guy who does this seems to do it every week, so if it gets enough interest I can keep posting them.

- Series that rank towards the top of the chart shows that they are popular in the main magazine.
- Series that rank towards the bottom of the chart shows that they don't rank well in the main magazine.

- Series that rank towards the right of the chart shows that they are popular on the internet (search hits).
- Series that rank towards the left side of the chart shows that they don't get many search hits.

One Piece, Naruto, Toriko, Gintama, Nisekoi and Haikyuu rank well in the magazine and gets lots of hits on the internet.

Medaka, Bleach and Kuroko don't rank very well in the magazine, but gets alot of hits on the internet.

Kurogane, Pajama, Kochikame, Reborn!, Nurarihyon and Magico don't rank well in the magazine and don't get many search hits on the internet.

Sensei no Bulge had a massive drop in search hits this week compared to last week.

Haikyuu is currently averaging just a bit less than what Toriko was averaging at chapter 17.

Pajama na Kanojo is currently averaging just a bit less than what Lock On! was averaging at chapter 16.

If Haikyuu can manage to break into the top 5 in the rankings next week, it will most likely overtake the chapter 18 averages of Bakuman, Toriko, Beelzebub and Kuroko.
