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

No, Jump CP has the big logo in the center, like that poster. Only disapear with sentence over Sabo.

There's a clean version in Jump, but it's a little picture with some japanese texts cover up right side.

Yeah, the sentence over Sabo is the white text I meant. Guess it doesn't make that much of a difference.

I wonder if DBS might move to wsj to take the Boruto "slot". It sells much better already and having that name in the magazine would probably be a good thing. Dunno

Why? Is not like Jump need DBS.

Wondering if Mirio's back was a flub from the artist. Also, are we getting a new character designer? I'm pretty sure Umakoshi's still staying, but I can't help but think Nejire looks a bit different, but in a good way.

No, it won’t move to WSJ. Theyve never added an existing series to the regular lineup

You talking about the cape being tucked in? I think that's solely to show what his rear would look like.

 

[MangAniMY]

does the monthly shonen jump holdover count?

eh, I guess not since they are special chapters

Yeah, it's not like they NEED a monthly series running in WSJ. Boruto was probably only there to get the attention of Naruto readers to begin with. But that ship has sailed already, so they're probably gonna start to promote it less as 'the Naruto sequel' and more as 'the manga for that very popular TV show that all the kids watch'.

 

[SalesNerd69]

Which current wsj mangaka do you guys think has improved his/her art the most from when they started?

 

[tirakai]

Maybe Kimetsu no Yaiba? It had some frequent off-looking drawings early on but I don't ever notice that now. Or maybe I just got used to it, I dunno. Promised Neverland too.

On the other hand, I feel like certain artists have dropped in art quality rather than improved.

 

[Aeneas]

I don't read it, but has Hinomaru's improved? Or stayed pretty much the same?

But yeah, can sometimes be hard to improve (consistently) when you're on a weekly schedule.

 

[Brizzi]

Haikyuu The art was so pretty in the beginning.

As for current Jump mangas, aside of One Piece, there's no one other that I think the art has improved a lot. I think BnHA and Jujutsu Kaisen's art have improved but it was already good from the beginning, too.

 

[Stivie]

I think the art of Black clover is good, and the one of yuuna is also, despite being wasted with ecchi.

another who has a good art is the author of Kamio yui, although I do not like the manga, he has a good art.

WNL being one of them when it comes to character design choices.

 

[Jovan]

But yeah, can sometimes be hard to improve (consistently) when you're on a weekly schedule.

Currently, I would say Kimetsu no Yaiba as well. One of my favorite Jump (not WSJ which probably belongs to Bleach or Reborn) art improvements is probably this one which was a monthly series. Still missing Rosario to Vampire!

 

[RafGL]

If someone's wondering, Jigokuraku's Special Chapter from this week will be released in MANGA Plus. Guess since it's already a stablished series in the platform they care about it (not like every other Special Chapter stuff they never release, sadly )

 

[4Eyes]

Honestly, Luffy is the one Jump hero left who Jump can have do things like that. Everyone else feels too serious.

Well, Jump gotta pay for this dark hero thing its editors started, right? /Rant

 

[Xzone]

Actually, they have done it when Monthly Shonen Jump close and they put some series in the main magazine until they go to Jump SQ.But I doubt something like this will happen again.

Which current wsj mangaka do you guys think has improved his/her art the most from when they started?

Probably between Kimetsu and MHA.
Haikyuu character design wise is weird to look now but it have some great scenes lately(like the final moments of nekoma vs karasuno).

...You realize I didn't mean that as a negative, right? I just meant it as a comment. And it's not that all the modern heroes are "Dark Heroes", it's that they lack the intrinsically "silly" side that could justify putting them in a frog suit.
