Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2017] - Discussion and TOC Talk

[SharkBait]

Dr. Stone is potentially intriguing but the lack of technology will probably hurt it. Also I cant help but imagine its the Green Worldz of shonen jump. Fully exppecting stone golems and other entities.

 

[Azure Warrior]

Is it wrong that I laughed at Donald Trump being turned to stone in Dr. Stone?

Is it wrong that I laughed at Donald Trump being turned to stone in Dr. Stone?

The new "trend" in the manga world is to do this.

Obata on this month's Platinum End did the same:

(this is no spoiler, don't worry mods)

 

[Kamen Rider Dragon]

Not sure how to feel about Dr.Stone yet. Artwork was great and the scene where the world turns to stone was well done. Though it gets a little ridiculous when get the tsunami part. Have to see where these next two chapters end up. Its the most interesting out of the new batch though.

 

[tirakai]

A question I have for the people here, which of the new series do you think would stand out the most to people skimming through them to get to their favourites?

Something I noticed about the recent successful series, Samon, Kimetsu, and Neverland all have fairly unique art that would stand out if you're just flipping through the pages and Yuragi has lots of fanservice and giant boobs to catch the reader's eye, while the recent failures have all been pretty generic-looking from an art perspective.

Dr Stone of course stands out with all the stone people but I'm not sure about any of the others, all I can really think of in terms of memorable art is some of the adults' faces in U19.

OVERHYPE!!!! OVERHYPE!!!! OVERHYPE!!!! OVERHYPE!!!! OVERHYPE!!!! OVERHYPE!!!! OVERHYPE!!!! OVERHYPE!!!! OVERHYPE!!!! OVERHYPE!!!!

This is the only thing I see about this manga and Hungry Marie, with the latter being garbage. Good thing I read it with low expectations. It has veterans, yes. But that means nothing when you can´t offer good content(right, Nobuhiro Watsuki?)

The faces in Samon.

 

[tirakai]

I mean from the current batch.

 

[TyVip]

Poro's design stands out the most to me. Although the setting is pretty standard.

 

[WyldViolet]

Poro's design is just a pale Deku.
If we look at Genjui Toteku as well its obvious that the mangaka is incapable of coming up with a MC design that isn't just a rip off another Jump character.

 

[savethecat]

I would say Poro, Dr.Stone and U19 has the most unique art style and designs.(although I don't really care much for U19's designs and art the artist definitely has his own style)

 

[Mammo]

Stone is the only one with adult looking characters
also Poro's sclera stands out a lot

I don't think Deku and Poro look a like, even their afro style is diffrent, Poro's hair is point and Deku's hair is fluffy
also his old onesot I posted and the old one Jagman posted doesn't look like any Jump's character I can think of

The faces in Samon.

you think he draw that every week or he just have them saved as layer on ps to spam them in every chapter?

GenjuiI Toteku's is a lightly modified Killua just as Poro is a lightly modified Deku.

 

[savethecat]

GenjuiI Toteku's is a lightly modified Killua just as Poro is a lightly modified Deku.

Eeeeh I would find it very hard to believe he referenced both of them.
Poro for example, has similar features as Deku, but otherwise look completely different. Poro has spiky hair and has a completely different hair pattern than Deku. And extremely thick eyebrows.

That one shot MC looks like he just drew a guy with bushy gray hair. The only real similarity he has with Killua is the gray hair. They don't really share any other key features

 

[Mammo]

GenjuiI Toteku's is a lightly modified Killua just as Poro is a lightly modified Deku.

I'm not talking about Toteku, I'm talking the mc of his older oneshots Kokkuri Yaai

Poro is different from Deku in many ways... It is not only the hair that makes the character. XD
In personality they are even more different... Poro is a pacifists, but not a wimp like Deku... I completely agree with Nighteye in the latest chapters, after seeing so many characters more worthy of becoming All Might heir, Deku pales in comparison, principally in the latest chapters.

I find that quite interesting. I like that every reader completely understands Nighteye. Of course to everybody except All Might, Mirio is definitely more worthy than Izuku. Again, kinda goes hand in hand with Overhaul telling Shigaraki that he's shit and that he should be the main villain instead.

 

[Scruffy8642]

That's Neverland and Kimetsu's second reprint (third printing) right? Awesome if so. Great to see Kimetsu's new volume selling quite well. Looks like it got around 40k.
