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

I'm not saying that Boku no Hero is better, I just don't think it's done so much shit to go from second place to tenth.

Bare in mind SharkBait thinks Black Clover can do no wrong and the reception of this tournament arc of Black Clover has been no different from every other arc of BC. I also agree that there's nothing offensive about the arc and the drop is still something I haven't been given a proper explanation to how it came about but I can see people voting negatively because they want the arc to be over with so they can returned to the school setting than because any of the chapters are bad. Either way I hope this does give Hori a better perspective on what his audience look forward to while reading the manga so he doesn't wind up in this situation again.

By the way how are HQ fans feeling about this arc? Its another series that got hit with low ToC positions recently.

Was great the first set, then you realize they're probably only a third of the way through the match and start to get annoyed. This second set has sucked. Same with Shiratorizawas match, Furudate just sucks at pacing these bigger matches so they're both long enough to be exciting, but not long enough to start grating on you. Doesn't help he slowed progress more with that Nekoma match.

The match has dragged so much at this point, I don't think I even want to read any more of the nationals after this. They'll never end and aren't particularly interesting. Making Karasuno lose is the best direction the story could take atm imo.

But then we wont get Karasuno v Nekoma, the battle of the trash heap

Ah man! I remember that. Funny that match did better than this current one despite having the same pacing issue. I think watching the anime first really spoiled me because it was a very jarring experience reading the manga.

I mean, this match will probably be incredible once animated with decent pacing, but it's still a mess to read. It's a shame really.

And gorilla is doing a good, thorough job with Gintama's ending, balancing both the action, comedy and drama as best as he can, covering and doing justice to most of the various characters he has introduced over these long fourteen years. Sure, nothing is flawless, there might be all kinds of issues, and it's normal that people keep criticizing and never shut up how their tastes aren't being pandered to enough but the comedy and action centered parts of the audience have always been vocal about their preferences. Gorilla is trying to stay true to all of his readers, and not to forget or overlook any of them. Unlike certain other long series which have ended in this magazine in the recent years, reading Gintama you can still feel how the author cares for his work and readers.

Next chapter seems to be focused on Madao, a character whose introduction in this manga was in a form of fall from grace and all his follwing developments happened while in a never ending free fall of despair. If even he happens to receive some sort of pay-off and redemption, we will know that the point of no return has been reached.

TimeBokan ftw (also JPN must really love Babe Ruth).

Seems its doing much better than HeroAca did.

Wonder if mangastream will pick up Golem Hearts right away since they seem to have liked the one shot enough to translate it

Doubt it. They only picked up Dr. Stone from the last round due to the artist attached to it. Maybe if it gets some hype they'll pick it up if it makes the round.

They seem to pick up based on whether there's a translator in their group that likes it.
They picked up Demon's Plan immediately as well as Neverland, which are both from rookies

MS translations are the worst I've seen. They ruined translations for HxH.

Their scan quality is also really bad too. Honestly with releases being pushed back to Fridays it doesn't hurt to wait until Monday for Viz scans which are not only much much better their translations are always on point too and doesn't need frequent revisions like MS.

 

[shoyoboyo]

MangaStream quality might not be that great, but it's better than it not getting scanlated at all. I'm hoping Jaimini or Fallen Angels will pick it up though, since their quality is overall better.

 

[Doughboy]

Way better than nothing, but their translation is definitely dumb. They make Twice say some off the wall shit because he has mental problems but in reality he only says 2-3 simple words.

 

[SharkBait]

Ill never forget when they got Haikyuu!! character names wrong on panels, like the series was done by people who had never read a chapter before, just plain awful

Crazy that so many ppl in the comments are saying MS's version is superior.

I cringe at the added swears
