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

Let's call this the one-shot show-off of the veterans xD.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

That's what I was thinking, but if one of them has a tremendously successful reception, I'm sure they wouldn't think twice about trying to turn it into a serialization at some point this year.

No doubt. Do people honestly think Kubo came back to mess around? He sees the current lineup of Jump and opportunity to sell volumes.

"Sorry I am strong..."

 

[Mammo]

speaking of oneshots Nisio Isin oneshot in Jump Giga came out today

it reminded me of Gakkyuu Houtei which isn't necessarily a bad thing, Sunday has Conan and Kodansha has Kindaichi so Jump can use a cool detective mystery manga

...venerate veterans?

 

[cody]

...venerate veterans?

If they don't make a good new manga, then no.

 

[Mammo]

Hinmin Choujin is pretty funny as well, not sure how it sells though

this was axed 5 days ago...

so...yeah...

......well that answers that question. I just looked over the most recent chapter on the Jump+ website, and at least it looks like it had a happy ending. I remember it got a couple special chapters in Jump's physical magazines, so I'd say it got quite a fair chance to take off

 

[CallMeTsuyu]

Random question and sort of off-topic at the start, but I recently binged through a manga called Hatsukoi Zombie and loved it. Now I'm in the mood to read more romance/romcom series. Was wondering if I could get some recommendations. Only one condition: NO HAREM! Absolutely abhor harem manga, but everything else is on the table(bonus points if it's ecchi ).

 

[Doughboy]

To be real I don't think Jump has any strictly romance brah. WNL and Yuuna people like on here but it's a harem. Cross Account but you already read that. Try Kaguya-sama from Young Jump, an affiliate magazine of Jump. You might be better off checking WSM or WSS.

 

[CallMeTsuyu]

Yeah, Jump definitely lacks in non-harem romance series. I guess because they don't really do well in Jump nowadays. I know there's Kimagure Orange Road and Video Girl Ai(the latter which I can't find complete anywhere) but I figured Jump would at least have a decent backlog romance series. I do have Kaguya-sama in my queue, though. Guess I'll start on that. Much appreciated.

 

[Doughboy]

I forgot but try looking at some Jump+ and SQ series, Batoto usually scans them. Two series I'd recommend first: Saguri-chan and Aharen-san. The first had a good first chapter and the plot doesn't feel aimless cause the MC and the heroine are trying to catch bugs and not dick around all day. The heroine wears tight clothes and looks good so a bonus I guess. The second is about some child-like high school girl who can't talk loudly. Both are soft series with small comedy and romantic hints.

 

[CallMeTsuyu]

I remember reading the Saguri-san's one-shot and loving it. Glad it got serialized. I'll check it out right away. The latter must be like Jump's Komi-san, huh? I'm game. I love Komi-san, so I've no doubt I'll love this Aharen-san equally as much. I always forget about SQ, though. I just remember the ongoing joke about it being the home of exorcists and the like. Nothing in SQ really interested me the last time I checked. Guess I'll see what all is new with it now. Thanks again, bro.

 

[OfficialHxH]

Well that's it for Astra Lost In Space:

Very enjoyable to read

By my knowledge, Batoto doesn't actually do the scans, they just host other groups' Edited Mangas.

Seconding these recommendations. Saguri-chan is a super cute series, plus it has the best full-color spreads that I've ever seen in every chapter. The first chapter has been translated, but hopefully the group that did it will continue on with it since it was nearly 2 months ago. Aharen is absolutely hilarious. Definitely more on the comedic side here, but give it a read through. I don't want to spoil anything, but the situations they find themselves in sometimes are so absurd that I have to stop reading for a moment since I'm laughing so hard.

If you ever find yourself willing to give harem series a chance, please reconsider We Never Learn and Yuuna. Both of them are amazing, with great males MCs and a cast of enjoyable girls. Yuuna's getting an anime adaptation as well, so you could always check that out down the road too.

Kaguya over in the Young Jump thread fits the description of what you're looking for, and Jump SQ has Chihaya-san wa Sono Mama de Ii mixed in with all of the exorcism stuff going on (and it's great!). More discussion on those can be found in their respective magazines' threads.

By my knowledge, Batoto doesn't actually do the scans, they just host other groups' Edited Mangas.

Batoto is a Edited Manga aggregator so it doesn't release any Edited Mangas by itself. However, many small Edited Manga groups who don't have their own websites use it to release and host their Edited Mangas. Also, many larger Edited Manga groups use it as a back-up host for their releases. This way, the files hosted on bato.to are in their original size and quality.

Then, all the other agreggator's bots grab these files, resize them, water mark them, host as their own, and the rest is your reading history.

I remember a few years back Batoto were putting huge intrusive watermarks on everything and switching pages around and such to try and get exclusive chapters, although I think they stopped after people ddos'd them repeatedly in response. I still refuse to support them though.

Anyways it's great to see Astra Lost in Space have a full complete run that lasted just the length it's needed to, it feels so rare to see a series end normally without getting either rushed to cancellation or milked far past it's natural length. That's the benefit of it being in jump+ over the main magazine I suppose, no doubt if it was in WSJ they'd have tried to extend it by at least another year.

I have a hard time believing that, it would have had to be a group uploading there who did that (and I can probably guess who tbh). They don't do anything themselves other than host the chapters, I've been uploading my translations there for close to six years now and I don't recall them doing anything.

I need to pay more attention to Jump+ now that stuff I'm actually interested in is starting there, I remember the app being annoying to use though.

Rather than using the app, I've been going on it through my laptop and I think that helps improve some of the layout/loading issues I was having before.
