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

[tirakai]

Kimetsu isn't in English jump. i wish it was though, that's a big miss for them.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Have they ever picked something up this late into the serialization? Maybe they'll put the chapters up in the free section or something, then once they catch up they'll do it weekly.

 

[TyVip]

It's not hard to predict what series will fail or survive, just predict the opposite of SharkBait and you will be right 95% of the time. Guarantee money back.Demon's plan, Poro

----------------
Here's my list

One Piece
One Piece
One Piece
TPN
Dr Stone/Yuragi
Soma
We Never Learn/Robo
Noah's Noe/Jujutsu/Bozebeat

Need to catch up on Haikyuu, MHA, HZ, Kimetsu. The current arc in MHA is very interesting, cute villain too so i might pick it back up, might do it in a couple day following spring break.
HZ and Yaiba i stop at around chapter 20, Haikyuu whatever the last match of Neko team before the National.
Soma is boo boo for like so long now. WNL/Robo I read because they are translated.

Viz eventually put Soma into the line up after they released couple volumes

I'm more interested in reading Gotogue's author comments more than anything. I'd rather read the better/official translation when I pickup the Kimetsu volumes.

HxH (some stuff I still like but HxH just seems to get more and more info-dump heavy every arc, it's been pretty much entirely tell not show since it returned)

I agree but I'm personally enjoying it. I feel like HxH as it is with the current arc may be better to read by volumes rather than waiting for those chapters every 10 weeks then going on a hiatus.

It's the opposite of the Chimera Ant arc yet both arcs are brilliant. Not sure if Togashi can top the Chimera Ant arc with this succession war arc. The Japanese seems to enjoy this current arc as sales continue to grow.

 

[razerxs]

Now that we've read all the series of the new rounds, where do we rank our current enjoyment series out of we are currently reading?

Black Clover
Kimetsu no Yaiba
Promised Neverland
Haikyuu!!
One Piece
Hinomaru Zumou
Hunter X Hunter
Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs
Act-Age
Noah's Notes
Dr. Stone
Gintama
Jujutsu Kaisen
Robot X LASERBEAM
We Never Learn
Bozebeats
Ziga

I'll just go into the new ones.
Noah's Notes and Dr Stone are riding the same line between educational gag series and cheap egocentric fanservice. NN might have a stronger premise I trust that will fall apart sooner or later. It'll be popular on reddit at least.
Jujutsu Kaisen reminds me a lot of early Bleach: dejected protagonist, brutal transformation, and a general nastiness in the artstyle. Unfortuantely the cast is just as thin as Bozebeats' and they've ended up in high school.
Ziga strikes me as the worst of the bunch. Killing the love interest in the first chapter is probably the dumbest ploy I've seen in a Jump start. It'll be a million times worse if it's somehow just a dream. Maybe I'm just misreading the Kaiju genre tropes.

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

My ranking:
Gintama
Hinomaru Zumou
One Piece
Shokugeki no Soma
WNL
Noah´s Notes
My Hero Academia
Yuuna

Need someone to translate Act-age to give it a proper ranking so yeah...
Dont read anything else

I never claimed to be an expert, didn't use the word once in my previous posts. Plus, I don't think it matters how many serializations you've been here or not. If I had been interested in new Jump manga earlier, I would've been here earlier as well. After a certain amount of new serializations, the way you think about them doesn't change anymore, at least that's the way it was for me.

I don't think you can even judge the way I analyze since you clearly can't comprehend how my mind works. My mind works nearly 100% with logic and more similar to a computer program.

For example I can tell for most continuous stories whether the stories were written in advance or are written while the manga is being serialized, simply by subconciously searching for flaws in the story writing. I can't do that for every single manga since story writing tends to be different for lots of genre, but I at least can do this for battle shounen and similar genre. For example Black Clover and Shokugeki no Souma are both written while being serialized. Tabata indirectly confirmed it in an interview as well. MHA and TPN were written in advance, which was revealed recently by the TPN author and I think Horikoshi revealed it a few years ago.

Still, I hope you at least understand that my mind just works different than yours. I don't claim to be an expert or anyone special. I'm just being aware that I'm not normal compared to others in the way I think and others often can't comprehend my thoughts. Although I have to admit that it's often the same in return, but only if it's about interpersonal relationships. As this case is purely about logic though, this shouldn't apply here.

This is legit the funniest shit I've ever read. The kind of thing I might have spat out at 14.

you ok? not gonna lie I was legit creeped out by this.

Ha, that tweet was accurate but in all seriousness this arc I quite like. It's hella hype when spiders are involved. I just cannot understand the amount of wall text... it's just ridiculous. I would say ant arc was better at this point but this arc is intriguing with the amount of plotlines going on and it's still not over so I think the endgame will be worth it to make it better than ant arc for me. The cast being better helps big time. But honestly shit is just too much to take in sometimes. Just recently a whole new set of characters got introduced and are led by a character with an "interesting" ability . Not defending or lambasting by why does it seem like Togashi get a pass for the same shit Kubo got shamed for? I like both YYH and HxH way more than Bleach too but it's not a one way street for me.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the table of contents. The rankings are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Jump most of the cancellations will go over a typical reader's head. There's als-

I'm totally fine. I just didn't know how to put it in other words since it's just that hard to phrase out from my perspective. I just accept that I'm different than many others with the way I think and I'm fine with it. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It might be a little harder for me to understand how other people think or react to certain situations, but that's the only downside to this. On the other hand I just get stuff way faster than others, for example I never really had to learn when I went to school for the majority of subjects.

But I guess I'm going too far away from the actual topic. I was just trying to justify the way I think and that he might not understand what I wanted to say. Especially since I just do most stuff subconciously without thinking that much about it, so it's hard for me to phrase out how I analyze chapters. I just feel like what adds to this is that my manga taste is just really mainstream, at least when it comes to shounen manga.

They can advertise act age

A phenomial series written by an author that won the newcomer award and drawn by a 20 years old Genius.
Include the pixiv in the cover.

Boom one hundred thousand seller, where are Jump recruiters at?

My Favorite Series At The Moment

Hunter x Hunter
Yakusoku no Neverland
One Piece
Haikyu!!
Hinomaru Zumou
Robot x Laserbeam (I don't really like this anymore but I'm still reading it)

I have enjoyed Noah's Notes, Jujutsu, Ziga, and even Bozebeats so far (Act-Age was kinda strange to me and not my thing), though in all likelihood I'll drop most of the newer ones as I always do. I also just started Gintama recently, but I'm still at the beginning.

I see, if you’re that confident in your abilities then I can’t be too fussed up. Just be mindful that Japanese opinions will always mean more than MAL commentators.

OT but just gonna ask now who is that in your avatar? Someone contacted me about mine recently and it just reminded me to ask lol.

To be honest, I've long forgotten. It was the preview image for a one-shot that never became a series. It reminded me of me so I picked it. That may have been five or six years ago iirc.

My current rankings are

Gintama
One Piece
Kimetsu
HxH
Boku no Hero
Neverland
Dr. Stone
Bokuben
Yuragi
Robot

Boku no Hero was above HxH until the Phantom Troupe came back, but before then Boku no Hero was above.
