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

Of Jump series though? It's not common at all for one cour adaptions in this regard. Practically every Jump series ever has had this problem, and it's not limited to them.

Based on guesses, yes. But it's as far as they can go without getting themselves stuck in the middle of an arc, unable to finish it in the allotted episodes. It's called logic.

Could you reword that last bit? I don't understand what you mean.

Sure. I meant that the currently manga arc is not finished, so we do not know how many chapters it will have.

 

[Mammo]

Imo it's not about uniqueness but execution, but I see where you're coming from

the Jump Giga miniseries that was listed on the thread earlier makes me excited because a lot of the mangakas I'm hyped for are not in it
so I'm hoping that this means they're preparing for a manga in the main magazine

Genki Ono, Shuuhei Tanizaki, Mitsuki Nagata are all better battle shonen writers than Takamasa Moue and Kei Minori imo

Remember Tokyo Kigo Tanpou? if this sells they will give it a full series

whatever happened to Tokyo Kigo Tanpou btw? did they ever resume its serialization?

I forgot that even existed, if it isn't coming back in the new Giga then I wouldn't get your hopes up. It was a really weird series anyway, although it did make me feel better for having no idea what any of the words meant because I'm pretty sure most Japanese people didn't either.
At least this reminded me Higuma existed, I'll see if I can get that and maybe that iron demon oneshot I liked from the first Giga translated if I have time which I might not because gonna try and do more KJ.

I'm hoping for news on it the next Giga and hoping for another Neverland prequel omake
I see you're a man of culture as well

How long is Giga running this time around

 

[TyVip]

So many interesting events happen when I go to sleep lol. 3 full pages worth of stuffs to read.

Poro most likely has double digits ranking. Although if Spring Weapon N1 becomes it stepping stone then I'll be a lil bit sad.

Gold and WWW never translated if I remember correctly, so let's see what's Kei Monri is capable of.

Don't like volume 5 cover of Yuragi, I waited 3 months for Hibari?

 

[jagman1x3]

Four months.

 

[Tanzo]

Don't like volume 5 cover of Yuragi, I waited 3 months for Hibari?

Gonna have to wait another 3 months for the next volume too, looks like there's no volume scheduled for June.

and yet Kimetsu no Yaibe volume 6 is slay for May 2nd. I KNEW IT!! Shuiesha realizes Yuragi will sell for half a million copies/volume, that's what they are holding it back. They don't want it to become a flagship title.

 

[Mammo]

What's the most successful mainly ecchi manga in Japan at the moment?

TLR? Prison School? before aiming at half a million beat those in sales first

I know you're joking but I don't think ecchi manga have the potential to grow past 300k~400k sales

Should be TLR but Prison School is a close second. Prison School pre-anime sales was about ~100k/volume, and post-anime sale is ~250k/volumes

Darkness early volumes peaked at 300k with volumes range about 200k-250k

Spoiler: Source

130,735 To LOVE-Ru Darkness vol.1

215,912 To LOVE-Ru Darkness vol.2

279,317 To LOVE-Ru Darkness vol.3

298,793 To LOVE-ru Darkness Vol.7

212,423　To LOVE-ru Darkness Vol.11

136,832　To LOVE-ru Darkness Vol.12

42,242　To LOVE-ru Darkness Vol.12 Limited Edition

281,377　To LOVE-ru Darkness Vol.14

213,360　To LOVE-ru Darkness Vol.15

If you count the first half of Mahou Sensei Negima as ecchi com, then that reached half a million and has 20 million in print/38 volumes. Yuragi has higher sales then the original TLR before the anime, so I do think it has the potential to go from 100~150k to 250k~300k after the anime. Half a million would be pretty rad though

 

[G_I_A]

I think Minamoto-kun Monogatari is another good ecchi series.

 

[Doughboy]

^I feel ashamed I read and liked that series. The aunt is the best girl smh and it got pretty hot when she "tested" on her nephew...

@giathuan2707 hibari ain't too bad, just ain't nothing too special

 

[shoyoboyo]

Just caught up to yuragi, yuuna is best girl and she deserves mc. Rest of the girls are trash to ok. also what day do the color chapters get scanlated? if theyre regularly scanlated then i might wait to read those instead of the original releases.

 

[Nakura]

I've been in a constant state of catching up to Yuragi for ages. I need to get back on track! Also, you're wrong, Sagiri is best girl

Usually when korean scans release, so Thursday-Friday.

 

[WyldViolet]

How anyone can claim Oboro isn't best girl is beyond me.

 

[RubyR91]

I think Sagiri is the best as well. She's a stereotypical tsundere but it's a breath of fresh air when she blames the ones at fault when Kogarashi gets into generic ecchi situations. Her cousin on the other hand is the worst

 

[Nakura]

How anyone can claim Oboro isn't best girl is beyond me.

There's only room for one Oboro in my heart.

Spoiler

 

[Doughboy]

Might as well ask for y'all ranks for best to worst girls since it's on topic:

1. Sagiri
2. Oboro
3. Yuuna
4. Chisaki
5. Hibari
6. Yaya
7. Big boob chick

Not ranking the lolis, I'll pass. Chisaki gets better every time she gets focus but it's Sagiri, Oboro and everyone else.
