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

[Caiops]

Someone make them talk about Hinomaru Zumou in a tv show.

Manga Ame Talk.

I have some questions

Are there any more examples that Ame Talk boost a not well known series/established series (beside Kingdom and TPN) that is not Shuiesha or is Shuiesha property?

i am guessing the consensus is if a particular series is good AND the host like it, they will bring it up?

I know in literature this happen a lots (fans want to read want the celebrities are reading at the moment).

The fact that with this much its a little under Heroaca at the same time is almost a little underwhelming given Heroaca had no TV promotion until early 2016 with Mando Kobayashi. It will continue to get lots of promotion here on out and its definitely the biggest hit since Heroaca but to say that its doing so well with no anime is borderline ridiculous given this much of TV exposure with only 6 volumes released so far.

Even implying Neverland is a little underwhelming in terms of its success is ridiculous, especially with how much lower print sales seem to be from one year to another. HeroAca and Neverland are also aimed at two pretty different crowds in a way, one is a clear cut battle shounen while the other is a mystery suspense series.

To be honest, Hero would've probably also had a lot of TV shoutouts at its time, but at that point the whole Kingdom scenario didn't happen yet. Now I'm sure promoting manga during talk shows and such will become the norm to an extent given how effective things were for Kingdom.

I feel like no one truly realized how much a manga can get boosted via such a method until the Kingdom scenario happened and now this will become a common practice to promote manga.

Kimetsu needs to air on Ame Talk .

KnY has the dankest memes, which are better than any exposure really

HZ doesn't make cool cosplays tho


on another note, I'm looking forward to BnA popularity poll result

I hope Hori makes a cool cp out of it like last year medieval fantasy one, and I hope Bones expands on it with a cooler op

 

[Kamen Rider Dragon]

Wow, missed a lot of news. Bunch of one-shots, new series, new My Hero game (please don't suck), HxH is back after only 3 months. What a way to start off the year.

Since next week is a double issue are both GH and FD getting ranked?

With the BnHa x Star Wars poster in the next issue I'd guess he will present the Top 10 in Star Wars costumes.

Ugh, yeah that was a thing, I couldn't care less for Star Wars...

even if its a double issue everyone is just getting 1 chapter so only FD is getting ranked

I would like that, but that would stand in the way of it ever getting animated because of copyrights issues

I read somewhere that Jojo was also on Ame Talk a while back but to have a Kingdom level segment you need a good amount of volumes released and it has to be pretty acclaimed. Kingdom won the Tezuka Cultural Prize before being on the show and was also liked by the hosts themselves. I will agree that to get this much exposure a series does need to actually show that it is popular.

So what's the point of it being a double issue? What does double issue even mean? I've wondered this for a while.

 

[Mammo]

it means no issue the following week

1 issue to cover 2 weeks

 

[Tanzo]

Jump page announcing the 50th anniversary oneshots

 

[cody]

I find it hard to get excited about one-shots if they aren't guaranteed to become series later on, so whatever.

 

[Mammo]

I like how casually they are billing some authors by their older work rather than the new ones

"let's pretend Hungry Marie, Illegal Rare, Shonen Shojo were never a thing haha"
"let's pretend the readers didn't send these guys works to an early death haha"

Kawashita first did Ichigo extra story and now she's doing this, I'm guessing her baseball manga isn't doing well

HeroAca and Neverland are also aimed at two pretty different crowds in a way, one is a clear cut battle shounen while the other is a mystery suspense series.

Same magazine, lead characters are of the same age, both have action elements again battle crazed antagonists, I dont see how they are targettng different crowds, especially, even using this here thread, people are clearly liking both series. Where are the Promised Neverland readers who are turned off by HeroAca?

I said targeting different crowds, in a way. Which is true. I feel like the people that are buying the series might have some different buying habits and interests overall. I feel like Neverland has a lot of casual appeal to people that normally wouldn't read action based battle shounen manga.

Shimabu's oneshots are really weird so I'm not sure how I feel about his upcoming one. I would rather just have him get a series serialized.

A sports series would be nice and not a made up sports like RING.

 

[shoyoboyo]

I'm pretty sure Shimabu is going to stick to doing gag manga. That's all he's been doing since Toriko.
