Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2018] - Discussion and TOC Talk

[Halloween]

Hopefully Neverland wins it this time. I'm not going to hold my breath, though.

Didnt we have to wait months and months and months to find out who was doing Black Clover? Anime info can be entirely random, some getting everything announced right away. Then extreme cases like Saiki that gets both announced and all its info revealed within just 2-3 months Of it airing.. I wouldn’t expect much.

You're right. It is usually random unless the announcement landed on October/November issues. Most of the time Jump titles that received an announcement in Ocotber/November issues have most of the useful information like release date, casts released at Jump Festa in December.

Wow, the award and nomination train for Neverland isn't stopping, is it? I'm very happy it won this, I don't know if winning this award will give the manga a boost, but I hope it does. Well deserved and congrats to the authors, TPN is becoming quite a phenomenon in Japan, wow. It's a great new manga and a new highlight of WSJ for sure.

Yay, time to read Bozebeats and Actage

 

[cody]

Respect for Boichi, putting in that hard work and doing some dedicated research.

Splash page?

I don't know what that's supposed to mean so I'll use it as an excuse to post Zenitsu.

 

[SharkBait]

Why do some panels in Act-Age look like they werent completely drawn

 

[OfficialHxH]

Respect for Boichi, putting in that hard work and doing some dedicated research.

Same. Boichi is too good for us.

 

[SharkBait]

ActAge would be better if akira was main character We need a jump ultra rangers manga now.

I think its prospects for survival are as bright as the Dancing manga was.

 

[De La Croissant]

Splash page?

The opening page.

Omg Tabata got a editor's change. I'm worried but excited.

 

[SharkBait]

Omg Tabata got a editor's change. I'm worried but excited.

Does that mean his editor has got promoted, and will work his magic on Boze?

 

[cody]

Omg Tabata got a editor's change. I'm worried but excited.

I'm asking this as a general question, is it typically a bad thing when an editor changes? I feel like you guys would know more since you've been following these things for a longer time.
