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

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Yuuna's identity has been given, but her regrets haven't. You know, the actual thing binding her to the Earth.

And it doesn't need to be the end of the series, Miura can create any excuse to keep Yuuna on earth even after that and continue with the series, Yuragi-sou advanced so much into the harem territory that it was even brought by Oboro as a serious option to all the girls and Yuuna was kinda okay with the ideia, you have the war stuff going on but the final goal it's pretty much "harem or just one girl?", i can see Miura using a serious arc to end the manga on Shonen Jump since it can't just be forever in the magazine selling even less than Dr. Stone, but i bet that will be a open end to the possibility of getting a sequel in other magazine, unless Kogarashi chooses one girl but that would be a big turn off for the fans after creating such a great harem.

What's a good day, when we have 2-3 pages discussing lewd contents right after some PTA cosplayers complaint about them.

Also, @animeexpert, you should change your username. You doesn't sound like an expert at all.

Such is irony.

What are some famous big editorial changes that affected popular mangas?

For example I know Kishi wanted Chuunin exams to go on as normal with Shikamaru winning but the editor pushed for Orochimaru twist, Toriyama in the android/cell arc just kept changing villains/designs cause of editor influence.

What are some other ones you guys know about?

Dunno if that had a big effect on HxH but I'll share it.

I might be mistaken but I read somewhere that Togashi wanted to kill Gon after what happened with pitou, but the editor didn't let him do it (?)

I thought Kingdom would be a bit higher still nice numbers

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Didn't knew that a new Yu-Gi-Oh! manga would start in V Jump this month, the author from the 5D's manga started "Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Structures", i think this is the first Yu-Gi-Oh manga that it's not just part of the marketing for a new anime season, it would be nice if Manga Plus could translate but probably will not happen.

 

[Kouzai]

Are you crazy or you dont really know what's going on with jump? It's in an way better place than in the 2010 were only a couple were an hit Outside of Japan. Now almost everyone know which manga are in jump, DO YOU KNOW.. how much TPN sells?, I can say it sells more than mha and it's an massive hit

Jump for me is really in transitional stage. The 3rd oldest series is Haikyuu and there are few established hit series this is reflected through jump circulation being all time low dropping below 2 million. There are also hit manga from pre MHA time like Assassination Classroom, Kuroko and Soma.

...You realize that circulation drop is because of digital, right?

...You realize that circulation drop is because of digital, right?

From 2.7 million(2014) to 1.7 million(2018). 2014 to 2018 was the time when a lot of jump established series ended. Even if we account digital a drop of 1 million in circulation is huge.

Pretty interested in this. Please Mangaplus, pick this.

Also, rip Vrains manga.

Like Rito having to marry Lala and turn into the next "king" or the whole "Harem plan" from Darkness that ended up in nothing? This is just something presented in the beginning of the story to be a "main goal" for the main character but in the end is never the "end of all" in the story since the manga is faaar from being about just Yuuna, you have a entire cast of important characters with backgrounds and developments during arcs.

Also, wrong comparison, WNL it's a romcom centered more in the romance aspect while Yuuna is about daily life ecchi situations with some romantic developments but much more focused in the ecchi and harem aspect



Yes but the thing is, Miura has to draw thinking about Jump limitations while drawing for a more mature magazine, he will not need to do that, he can be way more creative and free with the fanservice like Hasemi/Yabuki in Darkness.

I have to agree. While WNL, Nisekoi, To Love Ru and Yunna are all romcom harem, they're also different on their focus. Nisekoi and WNL have a "light ecchi" and are more comedy focused in general, with arcs here and there focusing on the characters. With Yunna and TLR, both focus really heavily on the ecchi aspect and it's the main appeal of the series, with the rest coming later on. Yunna is more plot focused than TLR by a big amount but still have the main aspect on the ecchi.

Btw, I saw this on twitter and thought that it was really interesting how the majority of the mangaka on WSJ are now on their 20s and 30s. Shiro (artist on Act-Age) from what I remember have 22 years and she's probably the younger now. It's interesting because the magazine is renovating it's authors and artists all the time so it's nice to see so many younger people having success out there.

Damn, didn't know Boichi was that old.

wow, 5toubun in 12th place, that's very impressive

 

[MangAniMY]

welp I guess viz not doing le dessert is confirmed then... eh

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I don't remember a WSM manga becoming a big hit so fast as 5toubun. Not even Fairy Tail or Nanatsu.

I wonder in what place of the yearly franchise sales chart is Black Clover. You can see half of Jump there (One Piece, Hero Academia, Haikyuu, Neverland, Kimetsu...), but Black Clover is missing.
