Are the pamphlets worth buying?

I want to ask for Horikoshi interview, but maybe is too much already.

By the way, Kishimoto wants to come back to Jump.

About pamphlets, if you are going to buy "Official Catalogues" you don't need them becouse catalogues has the same contents and much more. I bought them becouse I'm a collector lol

About Horikoshi, there's no interview with him in the book

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Just thinking. Each generation has a more visible author. For this generation it would be Horikoshi without any doubt.

Still, the ''Watsuki'' of this generation is Tabata. He's the one with tons of assistants getting manga titles (Momiji for example, there were other two assistants who got serialized manga but don't remember their names).

Dunno nothing about Horikoshi assistants tbh (only that Saguri-chan is promoted a lot with Hero Academia, and that animal weapon spinoff where the prota was Deku with a chameleon basically).

Wait, that surprised me, since Hero Academia got its very own section in the exhibition o_O

Really surprised to see Yumi Hotta getting an interview while not only Horikoshi, Furudate also didn't get any interview despite Haikyuu and Hero Academia being in the cover and getting thir own sections. Now that I notice, Gorilla and Kuroko author also don't have interviews.

Seems that barring Oda and Inagaki, they avoided to interview mangaka who were in current Jump roster (RxL still wasn't axed). Tbh is a little dissapointing but they still have their own sections.

PD: Noticing Shimabukuro got interview while Reborn and D.Grayman authors didn't get it. Can be same situation (Eldlive is still published).

EDIT: Inagaki is also active now. And Togashi is Togashi.

I don't see how this is useful to anyone.

How is a Twitter page with barely 2k followers an indication that something is popular? Where do they get their information? How many people took part in their polls? What are "Twitter" and "Fan Site" supposed to show someone who sees this graphic? How trustworthy is a source who writes down "The Promised Neverland" as "The Prmsed Neverland"?

 

[Duarte Costa]

@redon Sorry for bothering, but can you please post Shimabukuro's interview ?

I think it uses Twitter hashtag count and for fan site I'm guessing 2chan and Danbooru. I don't say its accurate at all, but ey, serves as indicative to see what titles are raising and what titles are declining. For Prmsed Neverland I'll guess is for shortening stuff, dunno.

I actually want to see Kubo and Kishimoto's interviews. Hopefully someone can post em. I don't wanna ask Redon as that would be way too much work for him xD

 

[nonowa]

Neverland has actually NEVER done well in the Twitter poll or the Jump matome site so it's really not indicative of anything. In addition, I think Neverland's fanbase is closer to the mainstream, casual type of manga reader, which made it perfect for Noitamina.

Also it sold out to the point that Bamco told people to go buy the digital version

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Black Clover Quartet Knights isn't still on sale, is it?

Nope. In a few weeks.

I saw the go buy the digital version tweet, didn't saw the sold out part, need to wait for Famitsu to see estimated sales through numbers

Sure

No problem

 

[ChocoBar9]

Its sold out on amazon and other retailers. Stock was low enough for Bamco to send out that tweet.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I want to see Black Clover Quartet Knights sales when it comes out in some weeks. The advantage I see over My Hero Academia game is that story mode with an original story.

And what's better, the main character of that story is Yami.

There are also that Hokuto no Ken game, and I recall something about a One Piece game too.

----------
*Reads Shimabukuro interview* He also wants to come to Jump. Build King is happening sooner or latter.

All these ''do you want to come back to Jump?'' strenghten my theory about current authors interviews being pulled out. I wanted Horikoshi acting like Deku like in the One Piece x Hero Academia interview.

 

[101nemesis]

Sure

No problem

You're an angel.
