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

Let's wait for the animu.

 

[SharkBait]

BnHA first volume out in November 2014

23. Boku no Hero Academia #1 (35,648 / 137,449)

BC most recent volume out last month

17. Black Clover #8 (30,499 / 129,115)

Until theres a way to resolve the differences in market conditions in November 2014 with those in October 2016, it is difficult to see a way to reasonably make comparisons about which series is more popular.

I'm all for a new battle shounen, especially with the state WSJ is in right now. I like the main character's design with the mini side braids. It's a nice change of pace.

hey, i have no doubts that it'll at least be better than Black Clover and Red Sprite

 

[Nakura]

Demons Plan does look very generic battle shonen... but it's been a while since a new one of it's genre came out and blew me away. Last one was My Hero Academia. I'm always down for more good battle shonen.

 

[Tamil]

People expect 400-500k sales for BC? I expect 300k.

If the plot goes how I'm picturing it going based on the title and small description, I think it can have a lot of potential

 

[Tamil]

Shaman King reboot please. I need my childhood to flash before my eyes on a weekly basis.

How good was the manga? I don't know how the adaptation of the anime was

I believe that once its anime debuts it should get to Naruto level.

 

[xAsum0x]

Is happiness worth making a deal with the devil? At least that got me slightly interested. Being a battle shonen fanatic myself I just want a good hit series to read going right along with MHA. I want Black Clover to be it but damn Tabata is trying his best on one upping Fairy Tail for bad writing

 

[Nakura]

It's not the greatest ever, but it's a pretty solid and enjoyable manga, with a lot of good moments. Art style would be hit or miss for some. In terms of the anime, it deviates quite a bit from the source material. Still perfectly enjoyable, but definitely not the same experience.

 

[xAsum0x]

The pacing during the tournament was garbage awful

 

[Kave]

Volume 8 before dropping out of top 50:

Ansatsu Kyōshitsu 633,075
My Hero Academia 463,872
Shokugeki no Sōma 275,131
Haikyu!! 230,611
Nisekoi 168,419
Black Clover 129,115
World Trigger 114,309
Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan 88,410
Hinomaru Zumō 26,161

People expect 400-500k sales for BC? I expect 300k.

Same here

you guys place too much hope on every wsj new serialization round

if you're looking for something to read then you're limiting yourself, what about exploring other magazines to see if there is something you might like?

Based on the description and name, to me it's sounds like the MC sells his sole to the devil for whatever reason. So in return he has to do the devil's bidding

I'm mainly a Jump fan. Plus other magazines don't get their series translated as dedicatedly as Jump's titles. Most only have like 3 or 4 series translated every week/month.

However it's not necessarily that I'm hoping every new Jump series is good.
I enjoy the ride of reading all the new series, seeing whether they're good or bad, and guessing what will survive and what will get axed

I keep up with stuff from a lot of magazines but there's very few series outside of WSJ that get translated as soon as they start, never mind staying consistent as they go on. Elsewhere that only really happens if a writer has a big previous series and even then stuff can still have multiple month gaps.

Unless you're reading raws, Weekly Shounen Jump is the only magazine where it's possible to check out almost every new series (even if a bunch of them only get the first 3 chapters done until they either end or get popular that's still better than anywhere else).

I personally want something more than a good Jump battle manga, MHA is good. I am always hoping for something with more ambition something extremely great that could be as legendary as One Piece. I guess I will wait another decade or two but in the mean time I will reread One Piece again.....

People expect 400-500k sales for BC? I expect 300k.

No one expects 500k don't get fooled by the master baiters.

 

[xAsum0x]

Nothing will be as good or better than One Piece. It's like the Michael Jordan of battle shonen

 

[Nakura]

It depends what you're looking for. Personally, I'm not a fan of One Piece. I tried my best to like it, but it's just not my cup of tea.
