Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2019] - Discussion and TOC Talk

It's really hard to pick something that's due to end next chapter, Chainsawman seems like it's starting another arc (and also seems like the most popular of the new trio anyway, though maybe not by a huge amount), Soma's still got a bit to go, Yuuna seems to be building to a final arc, and Zumou's still halfway through and arc and also still has an anime ongoing.

I guess Higuma doesn't seem to be going anywhere and Ne0 been completely dead rank-wise from the start but it's still a little bit too early for them.

I guess yuuna could switch out Nura-style to do the final arc or something but it doesn't really feel that way.

Or maybe one of the gag series will move to Jump+? it feels like neither will end yet since David's just popular enough to stick around and Japan has an anime coming but one could maybe see a change of location.

There is a chance nothing will end now. With Kamio Yui, it is on 20 with Boruto being monthly, so they may do nothing really (one replaces a oneshot, one enters as the 20th weekly serialization).

If anything will get axed this issue, it would be ne0 which is at numbers Jump axed before and even less.

I do think April-May serialization plus axe round will be very fun to look at.

Chainsawman seems doing fine

Be careful some people in the tread frown upon Digital Sales since they strongly believe they dont matter since no one buys digital manga and that digital manga sales are irrelevant/insignificant/and minuscule even though profound and significant amounts of evidences proves otherwise.

 

[tirakai]

...Digital Sales...

Oh, no the taboo words, people are going to start getting allergic reactions now

After ~10 chapters from the new series, I have to say it's still the same for me: Chainsaw Man > Gokutei Higuma -> Ne0. Chainsaw has kinda sully story, but its a fun read. Higuma still can't really excite me, but I do like some of the character designs. Ne0 is just boring, it has good artwork, but just really boring for me. I wouldn't mind if Higuma and Ne0 end, but would enjoy if Chainsaw stay for at least 40-50 chapters.

The new Saiyuki series first chapter was okay. Would place it personally after Higuma. Seeing Mutou Black artwork and seeing this, it feels its some Bayblade kiddy manga. Don't like main characters design. Considering it's based on Journey to the West, I don't really like the school-like setting. If they actually go on a journey, it may get much more interesting, will see.

One thing I'm actually mildly excited about now that we're getting every single (non-pervy) new wsj series simulpubbed is seeing how all the early cancellations handle their endings.

I remember Gakyuu Hotei felt like a surprisingly well-paced and well-wrapped up series that handled being cancelled well (and was probably better for it tbh, if it went on longer we would've no doubt gotten a bunch of pointless filler cases instead of almost everything having story relevance), and I thought Love Rush's early cancellation resulted in a pretty decent and complete character arc for the childhood friend girl. Then of course there's Stealth Symphony where the last 2 chapters were its only good ones.

I imagine most just end with your typical 'and the story continued!' final chapter but it's always nice to see someone make an effort to wrap up their story despite the circumstances.

"non-pervy"
I think the only reason Yuuna got excluded from mangaplus was due to the fact that it's already got licensed by Seven Seas. Souma and David have plenty of ecchi moments and humours and yet it is still on there.

 

[SharkBait]

I thought people meant Viz wont be the ones doing the non-pervy ones, while the JPN Translation company of choice will be handling it, just as they do David and Hinomaru.

I know it's just the first day but Chainsawman is faring pretty well in Amazon's digital and physical section.

 

[savethecat]

Feels like Chainsaw Man volume 1 came up faster than most new series takes. Idk, maybe I’m imagining things

 

[Jovan]

I think CMan will do well in sales honestly. At least 20k plus charting on Oricon if anything

Viz is the one who said "non-pervy" and picked up Souma far before Seven Seas started getting Shueisha stuff. I think they use it to mean basically, could it get away with a T rating. Yuuna could not (especially since the tanks have uncensored nipples) while Souma can. Viz might be more willing to do more mature/gore stuff (Jigokuraku and Platinum End are both M) but not ecchi.

As for Manga+ we don't know yet what their stance is. None of the Jump+ stuff they picked up has nudity throughout even though Darling in the Franxx probably could have been a success. Idk enough about the other Jump+ stuff to know how common ecchi is there though.

2.5 stars for TPN manga? What happened?

Chainsaw popularity seems to be strong, I may give it a read.

Emma has no relevancy or importance so fans are up in arms that she continues to survive and add so little to the story.

We're both Shimabu fans, so you can trust my opinion. Read it. Read it now and enjoy.

They talked about Kamio Yui in this week's Jump Podcast. It's a super-natural fighting manga, the protagonist has a split-personality and she gains super-powers when she lets loose her hair.
