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

So you would say BC's anime is doing okay? I remember you saying it was lukewarm at the best when it started. Also there's merch that I would assume we would have to wait at the end of the year to figure out if it's doing well or not, right?

As it is now, I stand by my previous statement. We'll see next week how much its volume sales grew after 2 cours but in regards to overall anime reception and success, I'd still call it lukewarm unless something happens in the third cour to make it explode.

I wouldn't go anywhere near that far, but i think Bozebeats did have a really great first chapter imo.
It's just been entirely forgettable since.

I’m watching you... your comments are always putting me in despair . Never forget hope > despair.

Was there ever a scene in a jump manga that people legit cried over before? Like, I’m all for being SHOOK and emotional at a death or soft scene but I can’t see myself tearing up over pieces of inked paper.

Crey from seeimg scenes animated especially naruto scenes. Itachi, jiraiya, sasunaru fight in pt1 etc.

 

[Doughboy]

Anime don’t count. It’s easy to understand that. But I feel you. When Sasuke told Naruto during their first fight “you’ve been alone all your life!!! How would you know how it feels to lose somebody!? Huh!??” I was broken. Naruto’s answer didn’t help at all towards the painful truth.

Read outside the shonen demographic.
Asano Inio and Minoru Furuya can illicit tears in me in a lot of their works.

OT, but both of Ooima's works in WSM have made me cry a lot,

DearS made me cry once, which was also my very first manga.
Not something I'm embarassed about, but nowadays I roll my eyes about this distant memory.

 

[tirakai]

Yeah i wouldn't be too shocked if Boze ended up like Gakkyuu Hotei with the first chapter getting a half-decent ranking then dropping fast afterwards, although I also wouldn't be surprised if it was your standard flop.

Act-age however I have absolutely no clue about, it's hard to tell the reception with series that are quite unique for WSJ (usually if I'm struggling to predict the ranking of a series it ends up doing pretty well so hopefully that'll remain true).

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Sad part about Act-tage is how no Manga Editors want to risk with this for the moment, so we only have the 3 first chapters by Viz

 

[MangAniMY]

If anything a unique series with medium popularity have a slightly better chance of surviving the boot than a generic series with medium popularity, boze had a decent start but it is nothing groundbreaking, Act-age may last (a bit) longer but we have to see what the new series are like first.

I personally think Bozebeat and Act-age shouldn't be in WSJ not that there bad series I enjoy Act-age and Bozebeat is fine I guess I don't really have an interest in it. Bozebeat comes across to me that would be much better suited to a Seinen magazine, preferable with a monthly release schedule, and Act-age I think would probably succeed more in a shojo magazine then it probably would in WSJ I'm not saying it won't I'm just giving my thoughts on it.

[Mankichi Togawa]

For a first chapter, that was a good position for Bozebeats. Which makes me see already next week, what position will chapter 2 get.

RobotxLaserman continues being last for the moment.

 

[Doughboy]

Looks like Sharkbait was right once again.

Is it just me or has Haikyuu!!'s sales gone down?

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

By the way, wasn't Spring Weapon ending this issue? Yonkou hasn't signaled anything about it

 

[MangAniMY]

Ok-ish for Boze,
so does Spring Weapon really ended or what?

 

[xAsum0x]

Its over for RxL

 

[MangAniMY]

The Saiki K's 4-koma is not even listed, or did I read it wrong that it is supposed to start this issue?
