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

[Franz]

t's interesting seeing Kimetsu and Neverland essentially getting equal billing to Black Clover on that promo thing (or is it the cover?), it seems likely they'll take its spot entirely eventually.

Kimetsu I do not know, but Neverland does not have to take anything.

Already there is his spot, and with the anime I would not be surprised if he arrived here at the My Hero levels.

However it is nothing new .... In the collective covers of the last few years One Piece, Haykyuu and My Hero are always in the front row

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Time to do my newbies analysis then.

Jujutsu 21 (Jaimini, please, give to it the same impetus you give to Eden Zero or Orient)

Spoiler

So, the demons have one Sukuna finger. Strategic gathering with Itadori and the two glasses old men, some sort of ranking, and white haired glasses old man gets face to face against what looked like leader of the demons (please, don't die!)

Noah's Notes 20

Spoiler

After some fighting against that army, scholars reach an oasis. An entire city is under the oasis. Suddenly, St.Germain count appears

Yep, I finally am getting ''it's ending'' vibes.

Momiji 12

Spoiler

Old man plays shogi against MC, some flashbacks with older brother

Invade You 11

Spoiler

Funny courage test in a graveyard with MC and cute genki girl

Tanaka Seiji 6

Spoiler

The fight against the robot ends, we look what are the big bad of the series (look like gangsters), and inventor girl joins the group

Alice to Sun 5

Spoiler

Seems the pair got accepted in a TV musical show. Cute idol looks like is going to be an important character.

Oricon Rankings 7/23-7/29
37829 *545075 Heroaca
32493 *565747 Haikyuu
18971 1986516 OP

16400 *291842 Soma
15558 **50596 Houshin Engi Gaiden
11509 *171312 Slam Dunk refurbished 10
11467 *174106 Slam Dunk refurbished 9
11212 *177990 Slam Dunk refurbished 7
11088 *175056 Slam Dunk refurbished 8

Soma already dropped out of the top 50. The threshold for this week must be rather high if 16k falls below it. Otherwise, new volumes come out hthis friday so it'll be nice to see how much Neverland does in comparison to Haikyuu.

I don't really know if you can call Noah's notes, and Jujutsu newbies. At this point they can get their own thread, though traffic to the thread will vary. Is Tanaka funny? I read that the mangaka intended it to be an SF gag manga.

Hmmm true. They are already +20 chapters, and Jujutsu has its own thread.

Tanaka surprisingly is being more action than humor. At least last 2-3 chapters.

 

[xAsum0x]

Is Tanaka funny? I read that the mangaka intended it to be an SF gag manga.

For me personally not at all. I find it to be pretty mediocre, along with the action. Mostly because the art is so bland and bad.

15558 **50596 Houshin Engi Gaiden

how long will this manga be?

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

To be honest, this. If Tanaka gets axed soon, I bet is going to be mainly the art. For me, is worst art I've ever seen in a manga.

 

[Mammo]

it already ended

For me, is worst art I've ever seen in a manga.

read sporting salt

 

[shoyoboyo]

Do the new Slam Dunk volumes have anything new from the original versions? As in new volume extras, any edits, or is it just the new cover?

 

[MangAniMY]

just new covers As far as I know, also they are thicker since they are compiled into less volumes

also because of inoue, i can't get any in digital..

 

[anime64]

One piece vol89 still didn't reach 2 million copies
That's really weird

Not even that.

Sales volumes have certainly been declining in the last period, but the real boom for One Piece is in 2010/2011, if we look at sales before then, looking for example those of 10 years ago, these are in line with the numbers of now:

1. One Piece (50) - 1,678,208 copies sold
2. One Piece (51) - 1,646.978 copies sold
4. One Piece (49) - 1,544,000 copies sold

So now they are slowly resuming but we still talk about numbers in line and even higher than those that have always been for this manga, simply the tow of the now distant 2010 is over ... not to mention that now the digital has taken hold overwhelmingly affecting the sales of paper.

Fans are moving to getting the manga digital, no one wants 100+ One Piece volumes on shelves,

 

[Caiops]

Still no PV for Hinomaru Zumou, lol.

 

[TyVip]

Fans are moving to getting the manga digital, no one wants 100+ One Piece volumes on shelves,

but if you already own 80+ volumes of one piece, switching to digital would be a little off

 

[SharkBait]

Not really. I think people already pick and choose which volumes to buy, additionally we've seen how final volumes of series suddenly get a huge increase over previous volumes.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

For what I know, fans still want volumes for coleccionism. At least in my country.

 

[shoyoboyo]

One Piece is the definitive manga to have in full physical form.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Kochikame is the definitive manga to have in full physical form.

Fixed that for you
