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

[cody]

Can a standard sport even do well in current jump? There's already been a great example of pretty much every familiar sport that any new series will unavoidably be compared to, and many of them are still going even or have a very recent re-release.

I guess a racing manga would maybe be less likely to suffer from that? Jump's had racing manga before but I don't think any are current, and otherwise I think Initial D ended so there's not much big name competition elsewhere for it.

What I want is a Kabaddi manga with Prince of Tennis/Kuroko-esque semi-superpowers, there's a ton of potential in there fun crazy techniques.

In general there haven't even been many new sports manga that have been that popular, the latest most successful thing I can think of is the soccer manga Ao Ashi from Big Comic Spirits and it started in early 2015. Besides that there are also some sequels like Major 2nd and Diamond no Ace Act II.

Because of this I would say most publishers are probably trying to find a new big sports hit but it hasn't happened yet. Jump can't focus on sports series too much though.

Jump needs to dip into swimming, replicate Free again. Best BLue was great, but could have hooked people if it started in the middle of a swimming tourney. and given a year to get its feet wet.

The casting is great, here hoping they will take the same idea of the OVA, removing all ecchi scenes and focusing on the plot. Which won't change much, the ecchi in the manga was 90% in the imagination of the MC as far as I remember.

It had some scenes here and there with the girls but yeah, mostly were on his mind. I remember one clearly with Seto hiding in a hot spring with one of the girls since he would be discovered or something like that.

As for sports I would like to see cricket or rock climbing manga.

I wouldnt read it around rock climbing, but I would take it if it was Free Climbing like in 2015's Point Break. Imagine a manga about taking on the greatest stunt challenges in the world, could be the coolest thing ever. Need.

What would be great about a cricket manga is that the sport takes so long to play that the whole series could be one single match. Could potentially even be a contented to Akagi for 'longest single match of a sport/game of all time'.

Just imagine, a 20 year long manga cricket match.

Thank god cricket is practically unknown in Japan lol.

Am I the only one who really doesn’t want Build King?
Don’t really get the hype. I wouldn’t mind it becoming a series, but don’t want it in the main magazine.

Thats the point. I want a long running shonen even if cricket isnt that popular. I think all they have is a small team & a womens team. True the odds of it happening are slim to none

Seeing how Im the only one who asks for it then prob no. You're not the only one. I just want Shimabu back. What hype? Im literally the only one here thats hyped to see it serialized.

Admittedly my hype for BK comes more from the fact with how creative Toriko was than the one shot itself. Both Toriko & BK are unique concepts and seeing how Toriko was handled gives me confidence that BK will be exciting. The one shot itself was pretty good.

I forgot who said it but someone pointed out that BK can work in a magazine like Corocoro. That could work I suppose

Is that an actual image from the series

And Hxh go on hiatus.

K-k-kacchan?!

Instant favorite of the bunch easily.

 

[tirakai]

Chainsawman is certainly a name, and knowing Fire Punch guy I wonder if he'll be going for edgy/weird again. All 3 of those seem like the names of battle shounen though, but would they do 3 in one batch? Especially since they've just started a new hit battle shounen earlier in the year in Jujutsu Kaisen.

HxH leaving doesn't come as a surprise.

New Serie :
#01 : Chain Saw by FUJIMOTO Tatsuki (Fire Punch)

If this ride gets anywhere near as wild as Fire Punch did, I'm all aboard. I'm excited.

 

[crazymaya]

It's fine if they're all battle manga, less competition for Act-Age.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Shibata is going to be another entry in "a mangaka that tried his best in Shounen Jump" at this rate....
