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

[Nemesis]

a cockroach, every time you think it's dead it comes back

anyway...everybody is focusing on Chainsaw Man no body is noticing David-kun is flopping super hard

I don't see any reason why Jump would want to keep it after this

Same reason as Jaguar, Inumaru dash and Isobe. Sizeable fanbase in the magazine and all of that. The fact that they've been changing it with Japan to end with a different comedy every week is kinda telling tbh.

 

[Mammo]

eh, no

iirc

Inumarudashi and Isobee volumes sold 30k
Jaguar volumes sold 50k

 

[TyVip]

Jaguar volumes sold 50k

Higher, it's ~400k for Jaguar
It has ~4 million circulation by volume 8

 

[Mammo]

oh wow, seriously? i thought it sold on the same level as Psyren, I could be remembering wrong it was like 9 years ago...

either way, my point stands, Jump axe gag manga that doesn't sell

recently they moved Tomato Poodle from the magazine although it was a gag manga placed at the end of the magazine

 

[Jovan]

Another Mangaplus SJ+ manga Moon Land flopped hard lol.

Did David actually manage to sell worse than Volume 1? Dead in April.

Solid start for CMan.

It’s last few volumes at least sold similarly to Psyren.

Lycopene moved because of Ooishi’s health problems which stopped him from managing the weekly schedule, hence why it’s serialisation is so much slower on Jump Plus.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Next issue cover: Black Clover

PD: Since next issue cover is Black Clover, and Kimetsu and WNL should be getting covers too 'cause anime airing, I'm wondering if Jujutsu will manage to get a 1st anniversary cover

 

[Jovan]

That Kamio Yui cover looks completely different from the preview art wise.

 

[henry9960]

wow is that the new king of shounen

I stand corrected x2

Chainsawman is in a strange position. Seems is selling well, but still ranks pretty low. So I'd say is still in axe danger?

Higuma and ne0lation are so dead. Shokugeki finally is getting a cushion of dead titles.

 

[Jovan]

You know its bad when all 3 newbies got below Souma.

 

[Nav]

I was really enjoying Higuma :/

Like I said it before, sales do not matter if you are at bottom. Anedoki (axed after Volume 1 getting 100k+) and Double Arts (50k Volume sales) are proof of that.

Besides, this confirms nothing gets axed until next serialization round confirmed to be at the end of April. So things can change (unlikely for ne0 lol).

Chainsaw is selling well, but the editors didn't know that for sure when they made this TOC (should've been two weeks ago).
Hopefully it'll rise in the rankings soon, having it's first and second days in the daily top 20 is pretty good.

 

[CuriousReborn]

Act Age will 100% surpass Dr.Stone at this point

It should be kept in mind that that those manga got cancelled despite having good sales in a different era of Jump.
Jump had more high sellers, like Bleach and Naruto. And likely had a bigger low sales threshold. 50K is more handsome in 2019 than it was in 2012.
We have jus as many signs that they’ll hold on to a series that has low placements on the TOC.

 

[SharkBait]

Define selling well. It could be the next hinomaru or dr Stone sell performer.
