Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2012-2013] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 4

[wintercry]

What I forgot to mention was, isn't this around the time of a cancellation round? IIRC, they're supposed to be every 10 issues or so, right?

There might be for issues 20 and 21; in order for the second oneshot to come in in issue 21, a series will be cancelled in issue 20; in order for the second oneshot to come in in issue 22/23, a series will be cancelled in issue 21.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

I was betting on cancellations taking till after the double issue, but all these one-shots are a bit telling, aren't they.

*sniffle* damn you kiruko + cross manage and your ridiculously small print run and general unpopularity!

Great
Any idea why?

Assuming that so many OS by big names are getting stage do you think some of the bigger series aside from Naruto are about to end in the following year and Jump is grasping at former glory Mangaka to see who can fill the shoes of a series like Gintama or Medaka box?

I really can't think of a more logical explanation aside from that or that there haven't been any good oneshots to publish by newbies(all went to Jump VS).

Next year might be the most interesting year in Jump since 2008/2004 although this year is also excellent for jump but for next issue, WHY Iwashiro has only 21 pages??

Hope someone can post summaries and TOC to the VS oneshots soon so we can have a much broader discussion this week.

I can't give you a big idea about them all, but since i follow Shin Prince of Tennis by Konomi, i can tell you that the manga isn't near its end in terms of story, volumes sell around 350K each and it usually ranks in the top 5 of SQ Jump.

So, just an one shot by Konomi without further meaning.

 

[susanoo13]

What I meant is not that Konomi's series is about to end but the series in WSJ but anyway thx for the info

 

[Kaiten]

It's a publicity stunt. I don't think it means anything in regards to the current lineup. One shots by big names might sell a few extra magazines.

I don't see Gintama ending anytime soon, unless the Kanketsu-hen beg to differ; though I'm sure it's only referring to the movie, not the manga.

Dunno anything about Medaka, but it does seem to be ending from what I've heard.

 

[Kaiten]

It is not as though any of them are really big names, besides than Konomi, Shiibashi, and Kawashita. Iwamoto, Kano, and Aimoto have not even done anything popular enough to get an anime.

 

[susanoo13]

Also true, they might simply be a safer bet than a newbie

 

[Eru13]

So, the announcement of the winner of the Manga Taisho 2013 is today, you think Ansatsu has chances of winning it? I kinda hope it does

 

[FanOfAniManga]

I think the editors were probably aiming to showcase the mangaka that were most likely/ready to come back with something new, whether they've had renowned works in the past, or they're among the best of the worst from recent years.

The mangaka of Psyren, Hokenshitsu, Magico and Kagami no Kuni have made works that have at best lasted at least a year, too popular to have been cut to around 20 chapters like most other manga at the time, but not enough to get an anime.

My speculation for something to come out of Kenji Sakaki soon comes from the fact that she's among them too, but also, ignoring Ikezawa whose manga ended just seven weeks ago, the latest mangaka to have accomplished this feat. I only just discovered a few days ago, but apparently, when Enigma started, it ranked high, like 4th or 5th. Maybe I'm being too optimistic, though.

Additional Oneshot Information

All of the upcoming oneshots published by famous authors (except Mago/Tennis) will have the same theme which is "a new school term" and will all be very short (21pages).

The oneshots done by the authors of Prince of Tennis/Nurarihyon no Mago will not follow this theme, and will also be much longer like regular oneshots (47pages).

Great

*shrug*

 

[Maxy Barnard]

ah cool so it's more like a fun little theme month than anything else, and an excuse to use some creators who do okay but not well enough to be difficult to get in for it, it seems.

 

[FanOfAniManga]

I didn't think they'd all do the same theme on purpose, but I guess it doesn't matter anyways since all the authors had each created a successfully serialized school manga already... except Iwamoto.

But did he already do a school-themed oneshot? If not, then I guess Magico is close enough? It seems so.

Is next week's issue going to be the first ranking for World Trigger? Or is it the following one?

Probably will be the next issue.
