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

[Tymano]

Really? I remember him talking about his back problems before he went on hiatus in some of his comments. Back then I thought it was a mangaka-inside-joke.

Looking through his old author comments, the only comment he actually mentioned his neck pain in was 2016 issue 29, which was about 30 weeks before world trigger went on hiatus, he never mentioned it after issue 29.

Hori comment

"Ah...about the page count....sorry. I'll do my best to return to a normal pace."

 

[WyldViolet]

Well clearly there's a reason he's not at his normal pace.
Being a mangaka is physically grueling work. Just because they don't announce something doesn't mean there aren't some clear issues behind the scenes. It's not like he's releasing such short chapters by choice when the series is in the peak of its popularity.

 

[SharkBait]

Either a physical issue or a creative "how best to draw out my idea" issue imo.

 

[savethecat]

Why? Sure seems to be rather similar.
Completely ignoring it as a posibillity is rather disrespectful .

I’d say it’s more disrespectful to assume someone’s having a health issue when they don’t mention anything.

Personally I think Horikoshi is just managing what he can and can’t do so he can avoid overworking himself. If the short chapters were due to health issues I feel like he’d just break altogether

I agree. Also because recently Horikoshi went to New York, so definitely not in conditions that do not travel.

Maybe he just has a bad case of DQitis. My dad is Togashi's editor and he said it's contagious.

More like a case of Spider-Man for the PS4itis

to be on topic, I was about to say Dr Stone being in the back maybe a sign Nak is losing faith on it, but then I remembered it's getting the cover next week

 

[TyVip]

Nak is losing faith on any series that breathes.

Dunno if this has been posted:

Basically, Tabata wants Black Clover to be at last 700 chapters long. If 1000 chapters, the better.

 

[Caiops]

700 chapters is too much.

Spiderman is a great game, easy platinum too.

The source is incorrect.
First of all, the declaration is not recent but dates back to April.

He also did not say that. The interviewer asked him if he would like it to last so long and he said yes, but I think he knows very well that the magazine has the last word.

In the interview, however, asks if he wants his serious years as Naruto, we speak generically of years.

700 chapters is too much.

But even 500 would be too many if for this.

 

[101nemesis]

700 chapters is too much.

It wouldn't last that long anyway, even if he wanted it to. Not with these sales.
Heck, even MHA would struggle to last that long.

 

[Franz]

Heck, even MHA would struggle to last that long.

But even if sales went up or remained stable the maximum would be 8 years to be generous.

What then as already said only said that he would like the manga lasted for years, but I think he knows very well that the magazine has the last word

 

[ChocoBar9]

I dont think there's going to be another series to last as long as Naruto, Bleach and Gintama again. Horikoshi seems dead set on making sure the series concludes at a little over 40 volumes and I doubt Tabata planned for BC to last for 700 chapters since it doesn't have enough content for it.

I agree on everything.

 

[tirakai]

There's definitely enough content, if you think of the current stuff as the first Saga/Major arc of 4-5 it's not too hard to imagine it lasted that long. There's the different surrounding kingdoms it introduced which could each have their own saga, Yami's homeland, and I'm sure Tabata could think of others.

The matter of course is if the rankings will keep up for long enough to support those plans.

I hope we get some kind of new Naruto/Bleach/Gintama length series. I don't think any of the current manga will be it but I feel like WSJ kind of needs a new massively long term thing (now that One Piece is the only series not from the current decade). Who knows, perhaps they'll keep Black Clover around well into the 2020s just so that they've got at least some kind of legacy series besides One Piece.

I suppose Haikyuu could potentially make it to the decade mark if the matches keep getting longer and longer and longer.

I think Haikyuu is the only current Jump series that can reach the 500 mark tbh, tho this match feels alot more quicker than the previous one, I think it'll be over by december, s4 when lol

I could see MHA going in the route of “i was originally planning on ending here, but it ended up going waaaaay longer than i planned”.

Honestly think pretty much all (successful) Jump series are designed in a way that they could continuously go on forever if Jump and the creators wished. Even the shorter series.
If the duo wanted, Death Note could have continued with a new book weirder.
The writers of Neverland could keep expanding the demon world and lore if they wished
