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

I feel like people critique these quick drawings the artist do for fun online a bit harshly. For a quick sketch of the character it looks fine to me.
I think critique Tabata was more justified because it was for an official publication. But Kubo probably just took like 5 minutes out of his day to do a quick sketch and that's it

Looking at the spoilers, HZ could end in 2 chapters even. Maybe it could be dragged out more, but the climax was reached and it wouldnt be strange for it to end any week.

After 6 years as Editor in Chief, Yoshihisa Heishi is leaving the position. The new EoC, starting from Issue 31 is Hiroyuki Nakano.

I'm afraid I'm going to need some context here. Who are these two and what are they most notable for?

 

[Leoat12]

To be fair to Kubo, who knows how much he draws these days. It does look like Ichigo with Todoroki's hair and eyes but it's cool to see and either the same or better than Tabata's

I was talking about Horikoshi situation, I don't know why you understood that I was talking about Kubo, he is out of the magazine.

He appeared in bakuman as the second or third editor of Perfect Crime Party.

 

[Leoat12]

Perfect Crime Party was Obata and Ohba best creation, so it was probably them saying that he is good.

So I was right again, huh?

Blasphemy! PFF and Otters are clearly better.

I don't know why people assume there's something wrong with him when missing deadlines is common among mangaka especially in Jump we already know that the first time was due to sending the manuscript late since the chapter was complete and the second which accorded 5 months later was due to exhaustion which was ordered by the staff itself which was more or less a precaution not wanting a repeat of what happened with Oda getting surgery and being forced to take a break every 4 issues now because he wasn't taking care of himself. As long as he doesn't pull a Eguchi then he's fine at best we can do is support him and the series to keep his spirits up.

Dr. Stone receiving an emergency reprint, interesting. How many volumes did they initially print?

It's okay everything you said but... Don't get started comparing a freaking 20-year series mangaka with Horikoshi.

As good as horikoshi's art is, he can't match Oda's details... One Piece is a freaking nightmare, drawing-wise.

Horikoshi seems clearly unable to keep up with what he's currently doing and he should take it easy. Maybe even (and again, I'm not baiting, why da hell you guys always think I do that?) take a hiatus period.

Being a mangaka is tough for everyone regardless of how you feel about the art of the individual which is entirely subjective to begin with and doesn't tell us anything about how much they worked on a single page which according to many reports can take up to a day per page. Hunter X Hunter is turning 19 this year and its art looks worse than every new series out now yet you still see Togashi complain about his back problems from drawing all day. A hiatus won't fix anything especially if the problem isn't as serious as what Ashihara is suffering from.

Is it actually sold out in stores or is it only Amazon because I still see it available in many venues. I doubt they gave this the same amount of copies as We Never Learn for the first printing.

But why? It ranks better. Why did they low-ball it?

That's what I mean. We Never Learn is a niche series while Dr. Stone is meant to appeal to more readers so even if they were being cautious I doubt it's intial print run is the same as WNL.

 

[Xzone]

Maybe they think that japs bias toward non-japs person and cultures would hurt the sales and they tested with a low print.

Do we know WNL's initial print run?

 

[ChocoBar9]

Do we know WNL's initial print run?

It sold 40k before the reprint (First week sales were 15k before the cutout)

 

[Koi Kage]

It must have been a significant number requested for WNL's reprint since it was "big" news that it got one to where as Dr. Stone's probably wasn't a significant number requested reprinted to meet the demand.

Toho Producer Okamura Wakana in this interview said that she wants to make the Heroaca anime so that the kids that are watching the anime now can still watch it when they grow up. She wants to continue it for the next 10 years.

 

[Leoat12]

"We Never Learn" was reprinted twice and got new on ANN, it still selling well because it is still in the top 200 although one month have passed already.
