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

[Tamil]

Are you sharkbait 2.0? At least he tries to be smart about it.

I at least prefer exploring the world to text dumps over generic images. And I expected in such a character centric story we could take the time to build emotions more slowly, that's all.

Now please go back to analyzing Evangelion and Hunter x Hunter, your intelligence is too high for me to comprehend

Read Toriko then, it's perfect at that. There's many ways to do world building, I prefer exploration much like you but also know there's other ways.

Never really had discussion. I find it kinda meh. It seems most readers agree as Spy x Family is probably going to break 100k with chapter 3 and Heart Gear is still 2nd last with barely 20k views.

I sense an axe for Heart Gear. Another case of beautiful art but nothing else to offer. Was pretty bored while reading Ch 2.

That being said, it had more discussion on r/manga than Curtain's Up I'm Off, Spotless Love and Dricam new chapters together so I guess it's a win? Lol

Curtains up is the best! I love it so much.

I imagine seeing "_ chapter 1" is more compelling to get new readers than even "_ chapter 6"

I don't think Chainsawman is a "simpler" story than Saiyuki. Saiyuki having infodumps doesn't mean it's more nuanced, in fact it's the opposite. Is Berserk "simpler" because some chapters have close to no text?

Also, show not tell is a good general rule unless you are good enough at info dumping or narration, and that's why I listed exploration or at least experiencing facets of the world (could be lore and rules of the world, not just locations) as better ways of world building than exposition.

by the way, its interesting how we always talk about modern series being unoriginal but in rurouni Kenshin in every single authors note he talks about all the places he ripped ideas from. Not that it's a bad thing, I just find it interesting how upfront he was about it all.

The showing not telling rule is dependant on the type of story you're going to tell. Not every story works when told the same way.

Not really. It depends on the skill of the writer/artist.

Vey nice

Jump Plus posted the first 4 chapters of Magico, seeing this gave me some nostalgia, 7 years and i'm still waiting for his new manga in Shonen Jump.

That's literally what I just said. Unless you were replying to Rica?

I'm saying it takes quite a bit of skill to do infodumps well, and I don't prefer the way worldbuilding info has been given in saiyuki. Those were my points. It's hard to discuss with you when you keep moving goalposts.

of course different stories are told differently, did you think that was some rare knowledge only you possessed?

 

[CuriousReborn]

Expected cover for double issue. Incoming shitposts on who will take the most space on the cover and "big" "Insert number here"

Samurai 8 may start serialization on May 13th at the earliest and there will be another new series which will symbolize a new era in Jump

Also One Piece is at 450 million copies
Edit: Updated and we don’t know if it’s coming on May 13th. The leaker only said that’s the earliest date for when it could start.

Just 2 new series and that late?? Not sure I follow the connection of the 2nd new series and the new era though.

New era is new four emperors of jump I suppose. It also marks end of "dark hero" era

So there's finally a date. I guess we're only getting two series in this serialization round. I assume the other manga is either going to be from a veteran or from a really talented rookie, maybe Shindou Masaoki is finally going to make his debut in Jump?

I wonder what manga series will be ending.

 

[Jovan]

Obviously ne0lation and Higuma are ending, with Souma and flopping gags untouched.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I hope we get more info about the other serializations soon. I wouldn't be surprised if Build King and Hot end being part of the new wave.
