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

[Eru13]

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).

That really feels like the Love Festival in Bakuman XD
And well, season wise it's fitting I guess

Assassination Classroom didn't win Manga Taisho

Assassination Classroom didn't win Manga Taisho

What surprised me was that "Umimachi Diary" won, I kinda expected "Ore Monogatari!!", "Otoyomegatari", or "Terra ForMars" to win, since those were the ones I saw most mentioned around, and well, Umimachi was nominated for the very first manga taisho too, kinda weird that it only has 5 volumes so far...

Assassination Classroom didn't win Manga Taisho

It was 6th of 11, right in the middle XD

 

[101nemesis]

Given how Cross Manage, Rookie Police, Hungry joker are all doing so terribly bad, my guess is that they think getting more experienced mangakas will get them better series. They probably wanna replace those 3.

 

[k-dom]

Given that last year was the most successful in term of new popular series and that among them only Matsui had previously published a 'long' serie in jump, I don't think that is the case at all. Rather a publicity event, similar to jump vs.

 

[Zeromcd]

Miyokawa just posted an old picture he drew of Egg Knocker

 

[DestyNova4th]

Cross Manage may have a chance, but I do not expect. After those one-shots, Koisuru Edison could be for cancelation, too.

If I'm not mistaken, Kochikame was his chapter 1800 in issue 22/23, right?

 

[susanoo13]

Up till now the only 2 series that had spoilers about them were Egg knocker and Stealth symphony, do you think that those 2 have the highest priority of getting serialized?

Also when the first poster of VS was published
I thought that the girl in Egg knocker had a pool cue because of her position, wonder if anyone else had that mistake.

And you have now finished

 

[AeonCalcos]

I didn't even purchase Jump VS and my random 4 digit password was accepted. I used 7783.

I voted for Egg Knocker and Stealth Symphony for most of the questionnaire. I don't have any info on the other one shots that's why I just randomly picked Iron Night.

Let's vote for these two series!

 

[Maxy Barnard]

I wouldn't just make up your own password and go for it. That screws over the people who paid for the mag and received their own password that they now can't use, surely.

 

[k-dom]

And what would be our interest in voting for series we have not read ?

And isn't this 4 digit password weird ? There isn't only 9999 of this magazine for sale.

 

[susanoo13]

The code might not only be numbers but a possibility for letters as well such as a417 and such, assuming we will get the results like normal TOC we will know it within 8 weeks but this might take less time since not anyone that buy WSJ will but the special edition.
The questionnaire is much more detailed this time and I think this is a big improvement since now SJ will know better what exactly their readers like about each mangaka which could also help in creating pairs and we have all seen the wonders it did to Obata Takeshi and Saeki Shun resectively.

I don't remember which oneshot was it but it had on the preview page a guy with long fingernails right next to the girl from Stealth Symphony with his tongue sticking out, the art piqued my interest about it.

Mascot character drawn by Oda to celebrate Weekly Jump's 45th anniversary

on the left square there is a mascot similar to the big one, what is it? another draw by oda or something else?

 

[Scizor]

Will people in the west be able to purchase Jump VS?

If not, where/how can we read the oneshots in Jump VS?

 

[HalcyonDigest]

Will people in the west be able to purchase Jump VS?

If not, where/how can we read the oneshots in Jump VS?

Yes. You can order off Kinokuniya or Yesasia, and I'm sure there are other online retailers that carry it.

 

[SSJWill4]

If I'm not mistaken, Kochikame was his chapter 1800 in issue 22/23, right?

1790 will be in Issue 22-23. 1800 will be in Issue 33.

 

[Scizor]

Yes. You can order off Kinokuniya or Yesasia, and I'm sure there are other online retailers that carry it.

Thank you, but I can't find my way around Kinokuniya and Yesasia doesn't seem to have it.

Or will it become available on Yesasia later?

 

[Maxy Barnard]

1790 will be in Issue 22-23. 1800 will be in Issue 33.

there's little that excites me more than another kochikame milestone

 

[Zeromcd]

Thank you, but I can't find my way around Kinokuniya and Yesasia doesn't seem to have it.

Or will it become available on Yesasia later?

Kinokuniya doesn't let you order magazines on bookweb, but you can purchase it if you send them an e-mail saying you would like to order the Japanese magazine called ジャンプVS (バーサス) that was released on March 21.

Alternatively, you can purchase it from CD Japan
