Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2015-2016] - Discussion and TOC Talk

Quick question: Was Captain Tsubasa a weekly series? How could Takahashi draw 30+ pages every single week, sometimes even more? I know it's been a long time ago, but did he have a special treatment or something?

@lobito180 You are probably talking about how each chapter is 30 pages long in the volume versions of Captain Tsubasa, which are also the version that Manga Editors used, right?


Captain Tsubasa was indeed a weekly series, and it ran in the usual 18 page per weekly issue format that most manga have, I have no idea why but the author probably decided to put different chapters together in the volume releases under one single chapter, so if you only read the volumes you would think that Captain Tsubasa had 80 pages chapters in Weekly Shonen Jump, while those were just 4 chapters put together. The same thing happened with Saint Seiya volume releases, Masami Kurumada usually puts an entire battle or half a battle in one single chapter (What I mean is that in the tankobon release they put 2,3 or some times 4 chapters together to form one single chapter, so if you only read the volumes the 'chapters' appear to be around 60 pages long some times, while they are just 3 chapters of the Weekly serialization put together and renamed.)

Also, Captain Tsubasa still continues to this day, though I'm not sure if it is still running in a weekly magazine, but back in its original run it ran in Weekly Shonen Jump for 38 volumes (IIRC) so probably around 8 years of weekly run, it then returned in the mid 90s (IIRC 1994 to 1997) with the Youth World cup arc, so it run in WSJ for around 11 years, first from 1981 to around 1988, then from 1994 to 1997, it then continued with the 2002 arc but it wasn't in Weeky Shonen Jump, but I'm pretty sure it ran in a Jump magazine, its always been published with Shueisha.

Road to 2002 and the next few series were in Young Jump, and now Rising Sun is in Grand Jump, which is twice a month instead of weekly.

Is not known if the 60 Million is worldwide or just Japan. It seems to be Worldwide given that by the end of October last year it had 52 Million copies in print Worldwide, so 8 Million copies more in the span of 2-3 more volumes(In Japan. Around 7.5 Million, and 0.5 Million overseas) seems quite right.
Also this wasn't announced in the volume but by a Twitter, making it seeming to be Worldwide sales.

Still, Attack on Titan since the anime boost got +2.5 Million copies per volume, more than One Piece got at the time. At the time Slam Dunk had the print record of 2.5 Million.

Where do you get these data from? You have a link or something?

Ok, now I get it. Thanks for the explanation!

Don't know why but I feel Boruto going weekly after this issue.
That or takuan ending of course.

What Data are you talking about? The sales of Attack on Titan? Those appeared in Animenewsnetwork and other sites at the time. The print number of the series? Here, a site that along the time gathered info about info of print numbers of Jump series: http://www.geocities.jp/wj_log/rank/

Can someone tell me what is this?

[Drmke]

Oh! I just checked and you're absolutely right! So One piece is now officially the oldest series in the magazine. Wow, that's...kind of incredible considering OP started in 1997.

I'm confused at y'alls shock that One Piece is the oldest now. It's been the second oldest manga now for over a decade lol Kochi Kame was the only thing older and it was 20 years older.

I agree, what is really surprising is that Haikyuu will be the fifth oldest series in the magazine after Kochikame ends.

 

[Azure Warrior]

For some odd reason, someone is uploading episodes of the Kochikame anime online and you can auto-translate the Japanese subs to watch them (YouTube).

Oh well, going to marathon the anime until the manga's imminent cancellation.

It's less shocking and more weird to think about. At least for me. Look at the gap between One piece's start date and Kochikame's, and then there's the fact that WSM has Hajime no Ippo which started before the 90's and WSS has Detective Conan which started a few years before OP. It's a thing where I know OP is the second oldest hit in the mag, but it's not something I actually thought about until now with Kochikame ending. Oh and then there's the fact that Kochikame ended. Which is weird to think about period.

Too little too late...


I'm not too excited by this year's Golden Future Cup. Have they had a preview page with all the oneshots?

Legacy was impactful with good art, but the story wasn't that interesting.

So is he planned on making a new series this soon? You really got to admire his determination to make newer material.

 

[DestyNova4th]

Legacy: Sakimori is a guy able to speak with death and whose aim is to face off against a string of serial killings.
Boy the Gold: Under the supervision of Wataru, who can not engage in gymnastics, his childhood friend... (???)
Tokubetsu Kokka Koumuin Kaizousha Taisakuka Tanaka Seiji: An administration official gets first place in a contest of mangas and his story just published in the magazine Shonen Jump. (WTF!? xD)
Taketoritsuki Monogatari: Something really nice has fallen from the sky!? (???)
Nikai Bongai Barabarujura*: A juvenile delinquent fights expert, becomes the pilot of a gigantic monster.

*Barabarujura, how it could being transcribed? Barabbas-rujura?

That's just the first volumes of Mononofu and Kurogane being free to read for a bit, not a new series.
