Is SASAKI Hisashi back to old position of Editor in Chief or someone else?

It seem current Editor in Chief is out due to new series keep cancel lately or what?

 

[Leoat12]

Change the editor in chief because something that makes part of Jump? I doubt it is because cancelations, it always happened in large scale. The lineup is very good now, too.

When did Sasaki step down? Any idea?

It is a normal thing for the chief editor changes in the magazine.

There was no hint to that being the case from his recent interview in the unofficial OPPodcast.

Only noticing it now but that Nisekoi cover is pretty nice. Nice text, talking about 5 people and May...

On another note World Trigger hasn't had a color page for popularity in a while now... Since ch47 the only color pages the series has had were for the anniversary on ch51 then for Volume 5 release if I remember well...

Is there any information about the oneshot by the author of Kurogane? the genre or plot?

The last one was in issue 21, and were only on issues 22-23, and 24, so I dont think its been that long since its last colour page. Based on its previous pace (11,12,19,30,34,41,48, 1, 10, 15, 21), it would probably get a page before issue 30.

I said "color page for popularity" not normal color page for stuff like anniversary or volume release etc. Excluding anniversary, the color page in ch57 was only because the results of the MAD contest were being announced, there was no other reason. The color pages for ch51 were the anniversary and the character popularity poll which should be announced around chapters 61-62 or something.

It just feels weird that he's talking to the English fans about that.

Someone with his position currently is a first, before they didn't care about international market that much.

 

[Kaizou 10]

Well, because Sasaki has the English twitter account, not Japanese. And, I don't think the Japanese fans (or even international fans) really care much about the chief editor being changed.

Which is also why it's strange he's telling us about that.
Most of the time he'll talk about Skyping to the ESJ guys, show pictures of Shueisha/Japan, or talk about a new manga coming to ESJ, aside from the quotes from the SJ manga.

For him to bring up something you'd think many of us probably wouldn't care about, is strange. Unless it's a person we're somewhat familiar with or something.

Oh sorry for misunderstanding.

I think if it had got a colour page for popularity in between the ones you list, that would have been a cp rate of one every 3/4 chps, isnt that kind of a bit much for a midranking series of sorts with no anime?

It is just thinking too much, like the chief editor being change isn't something unusual. He probably uploaded that with no deep meaning to it.

Sure it would have. But I hope it future chapters it'll get "popularity" color pages and not only color pages because of special events, volume releases etc. I mean we pretty much already know that if the series gains back it's 9th spot in the ToC, it'll get at least 2+ colors pages in the next 15-20 chapters. One for the results of the characters popularity poll and another for the release of volume 6 in June.

Sasaki is talking about the role of editor-in-chief in Bakuman live action, not the real magazine position.

It's not that hard to understand.

Okay, that tweet isn't about the chief editor going to change; it is about the actor who going to play Sasaki in upcoming movie. The uploader should have uploaded everything rather than just part of it.
