New special reprint information:
Urgent reprints that go directly to stores. These are the ones that are most pressing and a series getting in here is a good sign:
＊全＊
NEW 7/18 ジャンプ 呪術廻戦 1 芥見　下々 (Jujustu)
NEW 7/24 ジャンプ ゆらぎ荘の幽奈さん 1～5 ミウラ　タダヒロ (Yuuna)
NEW 7/27 ジャンプ 僕のヒーローアカデミア 1～5、18 堀越　耕平 (Heroaca)
NEW 7/30 ジャンプ アクタージュ　act－age 1、2 宇佐崎　しろ／マツキ　タツヤ (Act age)
NEW 8/2 愛蔵版コ SLAM　DUNK　新装再編版 1～5 井上　雄彦
NEW 8/3 愛蔵版コ SLAM　DUNK　新装再編版 6～10 井上　雄彦

These are reprints that are stored at a warehouse and go to stores as needed. This is still a good sign for a series but its a rung lower on priority than the ones above.
＊手＊
NEW 7/24 ジャンプ 僕のヒーローアカデミア公式キャラクターブック　Ultra　Archive 堀越　耕平
NEW 8/1 ジャンプ 僕のヒーローアカデミア 6～15、17 堀越　耕平

Act-age and Jujutsu are growing quite well. I think Jujutsu will show up in the top 50 Oricon but acto-age will only begin to show up next volume. Yuuna getting that reprint is also good. Heroaca is also getting quite a big reprint as well. 6 volumes are getting emergency reprints with vol 18 finally getting that needed reprint and another 11 are getting reprinted before the movie.

Yes! Act-Age volumes 1 and 2 getting reprinted makes me feel super pumped. Seeing Yuuna get a bunch of reprints is refreshing to see as well. Not looking too good for Noah's Notes though.

Noah's Notes is quite an interesting case. Its got attention but its the attention of haters. 5ch's weekly shounen manga section tends to have two types of threads for each series: a discussion thread for everyone and an anti thread where people discuss why they don't like/hate/whatever negative about the series. The former is on its 7th thread while the latter is on its 35th thread. Each thread goes of 1000 posts before a new one is made and the first 20 are replies to keep the thread from getting deleted for no activity. Its obvious that it's getting attention but it all negative attention. Now that on its own isn't bad as Heroac also gets quite a bit of negative attention on 5ch but it keeps growing and its also had 3 seasons of anime. Noah's notes hasn't even come close to taking off. The mangaka also hasn't done anything particularly wrong besides that small scandal back during Kurogane. Now internet reception isn't the same as real life reception but it has little presence in real life. Jujutsu basically stole the spotlight from its batch. This is really interesting in how its played out.

There are also those people who start hating things because they're popular. You see them a lot on /a/ as well. Not that people can't find legitimate faults with MHA, just that a portion of the negative reception it gets is due to contrarians.

The mangaka also hasn't done anything particularly wrong besides that small scandal back during Kurogane.

Didn't the mangaka say that they could've written AssClass (or some other manga) better soon after Mononofu ended? Maybe that's a contributor.

I think it was Medaka Box.

 

[shoyoboyo]

You're right, I googled it and it was in fact Medaka Box and it was actually during Kurogane's run, not Mononofu. According to this post on AP (http://forums.arlongpark.net/showthread.php?t=28240&page=171&p=2500752&viewfull=1#post2500752), Ikezawa made these comments on twitter:

- At this rate I wonder if Medaka Box will continue, it has low rankings but the Otaku buy the Tankobon. Hokenshitsu no Shinigami and Ririentaru are certainly over.....

- But if I was Niizuma Eiji, I would cancel Reborn.

- I could make something 10x more interesting than Medaka Box and yet I still can't get serialized? I guess this is Jump afterall.

- It's like all the other newbie Author's are too muture, too timid, too humble, they are nothing but boring people who sit around and say nothing but harmless remarks. It would be great if their was atleast one newbie that brags but is disliked like the newbie's from the previous generation.

Kind of amusing how he complains about not getting serialized even though he can apparently write something more interesting than Medaka Box yet here he is now with his manga in a shaky situation at best.

>it has low rankings but the Otaku buy the Tankobon

this is the same guy that pandered to otaku by adding nipples in Mononofu volumes although it's not an ecchi manga

what a hypocrite

50th anniversary coasters, also while we are still in the topic of NHK I have to wonder how long ago was the special recorded ? since I don't see jump promoting any of the manga that were in that special for Example I don't see any Merchandise for Nura which is a little confusing because I'm told its being Grouped together with other manga.

Wow, I never truly root for something to fail but Noah Notes needs to get dumped asap after reading that. I shouldn't be surprised at that comment but I seriously am. The author isn't cut the same from the authors I root for, funny how dude mocked others' talents while adding ass shots every panel.

People was like "well add more gyaru to save it" no.. no one cares about cute girls if the content is whack as hell. The Forneverworld of authors.

I love Act Age's character designs

Sometime in Late May, early to mid June based on the happenings in the special

I'd like to say that in my opinion most of the decisions made in the the special was probably made by NHK themselves, and Jump/Shueisha might having say, but not to much, I hope it is like that since it is basically a documentary

In his defense, those tweets are over 6 years old so maybe he has a different perspective now and matured a bit. Plus they were clearly frustrated at not getting serialized so it's understandable that they would have cloudy judgment. Not that I think it excuses the obviously unprofessional remarks, but I can at least understand why they were made in the first place.

I love Act Age's character designs

Same here. It's the reason why I'm fine with the volume covers being just character close-up shots. The art is really pretty.

Wonder who will be on volume 3?
the new girl from the group? or a guy maybe?

That.... makes a lot of sense especially the part with Fujimaki getting his manga axed on screen especially sense his a veteran author who also has a huge presence for the 50th anniversary while some in this special have no presence whatsoever.

 

[Nemesis]

Me too. I love it. More in the female characters because of the eyes, face and hair but still, very good one beyond the artstyle itself.

Her art is still quite amateur in some parts but she has a potential to get better in future works.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I'm so curious about upcoming Act-age arc.

 

[cody]

The dream is alive!

 

[Nemesis]

I'm so curious about upcoming Act-age arc.

I just want to read it tbh lol

 

[MangAniMY]

that part where they all shout Plus Ultra at the end... I kinda wished i was there

Spoiler: can't resist to make this edit

that phrase never fails to get me hyped

 

[Mori takai]

You were right MangAniMY Lots of Japanese people were not happy about that NHK special http://jin115.com/archives/52226015.html real disaster apparently.
