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

Beach cover reminds me of the color pages that Tabata tried to make the series female characters look sexy... It ended up weird as hell... Black Clover has a weird drawing..

 

[RafaFedKilla]

I had no idea that Tabata has been around since 2001....

 

[Ihore]

He won an award in 2001 and in 2004 got an honorable mention but I don't think thee one-shots were published in a magazine or anywhere. in 2005 he had a one-shot published in Akamatsu Jump Winter after that he only came back in 2011 with Hungry Joker One-shot in GFC which he won.

So you could say he only really started his career in 2005.

he is in his 30s

I posted a pic of Tabata in this very thread, go to page 92 to see it

Speaking of which here's Togashi drawing a color page and his working place tour + his manga collection

 

[Mammo]

I already saw it the other day, he draws pretty fast, but I couldn't stop thinking how much easier his job would be and how mach time he would save if he went digital

I could see Kokou no Hito volumes, Area D & Air Gear too

so I guess he values manga with great detailed art

 

[Halloween]

another bc rant

what's with black bulls members and other magic knights treating Asta as some kind of inspirational figure? I can somewhat understand when it happened to Naruto
but Asta haven't done anything big enough to earn that level of acknowledgment

Because he has no magical power to speak of and he refuses to give up? Seems pretty inspirational to me.

One would think some BC defenders would show up. I guess it depends on what time of day you can talk shit about BC without being heckled.

if that's the reason they idolize him then they must have a very low standards for their idols

Area D was my jam.

So Togashi does have assistants? I thought he usually did the art by himself or did he get some assistants for the recent arc

Looks like it. And according to a summary I found on reddit, one of the assistants has been there since the beginning of Hunter X Hunter.

Here is the short summary by reddit user Urouge108:

• At least one of his assistants has been working under Togashi since the beginning of the series. On the other hand, there is an assistant who started working under him just 1-2 years ago.
  
• When an assistant says in the interview that Togashi is a gentle person, Togashi tells him to praise him more. lol
  
• Togashi's studio is not calm since he loves TV show to collect various kinds of info for future stories.
  
• About the drawings on the wall, when Togashi was asked about what kinds of effort he makes to explain to his assistants about manga properly, he answered that he is not that good at speaking, so he shows some drawings to them in order to explain about background things. He also displays a manual which shows how to handle screentones.
  
• Togashi has 3 desks since it would become messy soon if there was only one desk.
  
• Togashi says he hesitated to tear apart the vinyl package of Dragon Ball 30th Anniversary book since the book is so important for him. He says that he owes what he is today to Toriyama.
  
• There are many characters about Black Whale arc on the lists on his desk, but some of whom might never appear in the story. This process is important for Togashi since he sometimes comes up with an interesting idea. That being said, it is the first time for him to make a lists of characters in one arc.
  
• About the color spread of Captain Tsubasa, Togashi considers "Junior competition France" arc in Captain Tsubasa has the most numerous named characters in Weekly Jump's history. He aims to break the record.
  
• The double page about Nen Beasts were drawn by Togashi himself, as opposed to the double page of Black Whale.
  
• Togashi considers some fight scenes between Hisoka and Kastro being terrible in terms of drawing. (Togashi sometimes fixes his drawings in the volume.)

They've been putting MHA releases next to One Piece recently. Really want to see how well Promised Neverland does.

 

[Tamil]

Let's how much of a boost BC will get from it's OVA.

 

[savethecat]

My prediction is 50K for Neverland

 

[cue1996]

Issue 42 of Weekly Shonen Jump (the issue with the final chapter of Kochikame) will have an additional printing because all issues are sold out. http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20161107-00000007-mai-soci

 

[Varus]

Let's how much of a boost BC will get from it's OVA.

It did 98k last volume and it reached 129K on it's second week, basically no sign of significant improvements for 3 volumes straight. Might improve slightly but I doubt we'll see anything major.

 

[Leoat12]

The question that everybody should be asking regarding Togashi's assistants is if they are paid regularly when Togashi doesn't work at all through 99% of the year. They probably have other jobs because if they are not paid because they are not working (the most logical assumption), then they must be starving by now. :P

PS: It is meant as a joke, hold your horses (of apocalypse) HxH fans. XD
