Well, I'm not too sure about that; we have to see how the current arc going to conclude. But, I have a hunch that there going to be at least one big arc for Nejimaki before it ends, so I bet that it'll last more than a year (at least).
Yeah. I feel like one more arc will probably do it. Though Nakayama doesn't seem to favor really long arcs so that's why I think a year or less is about right. Though who knows really. Maybe the final arc will be a really long one.
Well, we can't be sure whether Nakayam favors long arc or not since like he didn't really have long series which had enough time to do long arc; Nejimaki is actually Nakayama's first long series in his career, so I think there is still possibility that he going to do long arc in future.
True. Even though oddly enough Traumeister has reached a sort of cult status thing (where it was a bit more popular after it ended than it was when it was still running.) Of course it's not HUGELY popular just people seem to like it a bit more. But Nejimaki's been running for three years though...I feel like if he wanted to do a long arc within it he could have. In fact the last arc's ending felt a little bit rushed to me. Just a little though.
Well, I think there is two kinds of manga out there: one is gradually increase the length of arc; and, the other is start the long arc at early stage.
I wish I had my tanks in front of me so I could compare that actually, not that I'm doubting what you're saying. I think the Nejimaki arcs sorta do what they need to do lengthwise. They don't seem to increase per se unless the story needs them. OP arcs have generally gotten longer with each one, though whether that's needed is a question for another thread. Then again do Seinen manga really have long 'arcs'? Or just a whole story in general?
Well, Kingdom have long arcs right now and Gunjou Senki started as long arc (well, it doesn't mean superlong; it is more like the long arc for the young series). On the other hand, Tokyo Ghoul generally has mid-length arc and not long arc, yet.
TK Ghoul does generally move really quickly. Though there is a third type of series that has one short arc to introduce characters and then a long arc that takes up the rest of the series till the end. I actually really dislike it when series do that though so I tend to avoid them if possible. Kingdom I've read on and off, but I can imagine it having an arc that takes a lot of time. I agree with you though, it's more a thing for the artist to decide or whatever.
Are you talking about changing Tokyo Ghoul to shonen series?
Yes and No. I think it works well as a seinen and I wouldn't want to 'change' it per se. I'm just saying that it feels like it could be a (God forgive me for using this term) darker shounen in the vein of D-Gray man or something like that. I'm just kind of curious if anyone else sees it that way.
I don't think that's going to work. I think changing shounen to seinen is easy, but changing seinen to shounen is not going to work. People like those seinen series because of those seinen aspects. If they are changing to shounen, then they are basically putting limits on what they can do. For example, I can't imagine Tokyo Ghoul without cannibalism.
I'd go further than that but we'd be treading into the extremely ill defined definitions of Shounen and Seinen, so I'll leave it at that. I just asked because in some aspects, TK Ghoul reminds me of early DGM. Not too much that they're similar series, but just a little. That being said I do think TK Ghoul is fine where it is and shouldn't change.
Does it? I don't really see much similarities aspects between Tokyo Ghoul and D.Gray-man (the early chapters).
Again It's not like they're completely the same. I guess it's just the atmosphere of 'monsters among us'. IMO, I think TK Ghoul handles the idea much better than DGM, but I digress. I just finished with the scantlations (since y'know, reading seinen is a bit harder for me since no furigana...) so I guess I'll start reading the raws. I'm especially curious about the characters in Nakayama's fanart. There have been no sign of them yet....but I'm not that far in. Also is that Kaneki with the white hair that I saw in some pictures?
Maybe, I didn't find the similar aspects since those kind of stuffs are pretty common in other series, like Shingeki no Kyojin. For me, I think Kakuriyo Monogatari (series by Fujisaki Ryuu) shares more similar aspcets with DGM than TG.
Are you talking about this picture? If it is, then most of them appear at little bit more later.
Yes, he later changed black to white hair; but, you have to see the series to see why it has changed. I'm not sure how far the Edited Manga is behind since I read raw.
Kakuriyo is another one I want to read. I liked the little bit of Houshin Engi that I read way back so when I saw he had returned I wanted to read the new series....not that I have of course. *sigh*
Yeah that's it. I know the one younger guy with black hair is a sort of antagonist, but the other dude and two chicks(?) haven't appeared in the chapters I read.Are you talking about this picture? If it is, then most of them appear at little bit more later.
I believe the scantlations are in the mid forties. I just devoured everything in two nights so I stopped paying attention to chapter number.Yes, he later changed black to white hair; but, you have to see the series to see why it has changed. I'm not sure how far the Edited Manga is behind since I read raw.
Ah so he changed it. Interesting. I guess I'll find some raws and keep reading the best I can then.
This one is more easier series to read for you since this one has furigana (plus, I carry all of its raws right now
).Well, he's not exactly an antagonist, but I can't really say at this point. Also, the white girl in front is a chick; other three are all dudes.
Yeah, it is way behind. In Japan, it currently released 117 chapters; too bad I can't spoiler you.
Furigana? Really? Man, I need to get on that like today then.This one is more easier series to read for you since this one has furigana (plus, I carry all of its raws right now
Yeah I know he's not really an antagonist, which is why I said 'sorta'. And wait what? The purple haired....person is a dude? ....Wow.Well, he's not exactly an antagonist, but I can't really say at this point. Also, the white girl in front is a chick; other three are all dudes.
Spoilers please?Yeah, it is way behind. In Japan, it currently released 117 chapters; too bad I can't spoiler you.
Nope, the 'purple' haired peson is the only chick in that picture; I just made a mistake.
Sorry, after that is a really 'big' arc, so lots of things happen. So, I can't really write down the summary of what's going to happen.Spoilers please?
Announcing music in a print ad would be especially strange. I'm expecting visuals, additional staff, and maybe what season it airs. They usually don't say a lot in magazine ads.
