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

[ChocoBar9]

Yeah, J-Stars just seemed really half baked to me.
Ultimate Starts blew my mind back when I first played it in when the fan translation was first put out back when I was either a Freshman or Sophomore in high school, can't remember, but how many characters there were, and the amount of detail and thought that went in to building a great koma deck really impressed me for a licensed handheld game at the time. There were so many other little touches that really made it feel like it's own unique franchise of an arena fighter. It's been 10 years since JUS was released, so here's hoping that they dust it off for the 50th anniversary in 2018. If not, they probably never will. (Although then again, the One Piece DS and 3DS fighting games play like a simplified JUS)

Also having Dr. Mashirito (Dr. Slump) be the final boss is nothing but sheer brilliance which is something I didn't understand back then because I was still new to Jump manga but one I now have much appreciation for now revisiting the game.

Saaaaame! Like I mentioned, I've recently begun replaying the game on my tablet for nostalgias sake, and there are so many things I didn't really understand the relevance the first time around.
Also, not only is the game so much more fun with a bigger screen, it also aethestically looks better with both screens jus taking up one big one. Tapping komas is also a lot more comfortable with more room and the convenience of using fingers rather than a stylus.

Looks like Neverland is at around 65k now then. Pretty good legs considering it's 19 positions higher than Yuragi. Looks like it won't be another eternal 30k seller

 

[Nakura]

As much as it depresses me that series like Hinomaru Zumou, Kimetsu no Yaiba, and Straighten Up! are struggling to break out of that mark, I'm still very happy that Jump continues to keep them in the magazine.

 

[Spirit]

It's good to see that my sudo child is doing so well. It must easily be one of the most successful new Jump manga of 2016.

 

[HIGAN0]

Good start for Neverland.......
i would be happy to see Yaiba and dance club sell more but..........

 

[xAsum0x]

I don't, off with their heads

 

[G_I_A]

Agreed... Not even a single Manga Editor is willing to put this series up to date. They are irrelevant in Japan and here... Off with their heads [2]

 

[Silverblade]

Fuck that noise.

The adorable midget tier of current magazine is the best.

 

[Leoat12]

This year will be known as the one that Jump lost many of its flaghships and they started to get desperate to find new ones. XD
The Promised Neverland seems to be the most successful one so far, but I still have doubts.
I still don't know if it can last long to be a flagship. A more immediate problem, though, is whether it will be able to keep its identity after the kids escape from the orphanage. The series is good because of the game of mental chess that the kids play with their "mother" and all the plan around their escape. How the author plans to keep this kind of psychological side of the series remains to see. It doesn't seem to be a series easy to maintain with high quality, Demizu Posuka will to be very careful about that.

 

[Nakura]

Shirai is the author, not Demizu, but I do agree in that I'm worried about when the kids escape. Just what exactly will the manga become? I'm really curious how they plan to keep the same elements that's keeping it interesting throughout the rest of the manga. I'm at least expecting Demizu's art to shine in the outer world, as opposed to the orphanage.

A friendly reminder that Yuuna started in 2016 and sells double what Neverland sell


anyway, did anyone noticed that the oneshot by Senyuu. and Angel Game mangaka that was published a couple of weeks ago have more people talking online about it and have more fanart than recent additions like Golazo, Demon's Plan, Amalgam, Spring Weapon...

I wouldn't be surprised if it get serialized next year

I was sure he did it alone, he is very talkative and famous on Twitter with his artbook and all. hahahaha

Yuragi will never become a flagship, it is ecchi. After what happened with Shokugeki I don't have any hopes for an ecchi series becomes hugely popular.

 

[xAsum0x]

If your manga has been in the magazine for over a year or a little under and still can't sell over 30k it's time to go.

 

[Silverblade]

It's time to go only when you want to see what lies beyond the depths of bottom five.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Sales don't indicate whether a series deserves to stay though. I'm glad that Jump is in a slump atm, because it allows these series that wouldn't normally survive, to do so. I can't imagine many people who have read Hinomaru, Straighten Up and Yaiba (can't speak for Samon) saying that they don't deserve to be in the magazine, because they do. They're just niche titles.

About Neverland. I have hope that Shirai has good plans for after the escape. That's what the series is leading up to and essentially the entire point of it so far, you'd think they would have thought of that before coming up with the story for the orphanage even.

Ecchi series have lower potential ceiling, so that doesn't really matter. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if Neverland outsells it at similar points.

 

[Mammo]

speculations about the future doesn't matter

if we are talking about what is jump biggest hit from the new series in 2016 then it's Yuuna

The volumes sell that well because they feature uncensored nudity. It's a cheap marketing tactic. Plus, it's also been around longer than Neverland has, which helps to build up a fanbase. If they were closer in age, I'm willing to bet Neverland would already be outselling it.
