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

[Jovan]

So what are your predictions, how many out of Yui, Taisei, Beast and Tokyo will end for the next batch?
I feel like Shueisha has to throw the dead weight and go big with 5 series serialization (4+1 spot is currently taken by oneshots/GFC soon).

I feel Jujutsu and Act-age are ignored by the Shueisha editorial compared with other titles. Both of them are already consolidated, so is unfair they still get poor treatment.

Hero Academia situation here is very very odd. Haikyuu has 7 colors, while Hero Academia 0. Black Clover also only has 2 colors. I guess main reason is Hori health (same reason a lot of MHA chapters this year were only 13 pages).

EDIT: In short term I am seeing Hero Academia and We Never Learn getting Jump cover issues soon because anime new seasons.

Poor Yuuna. The fact it hasn't gotten a single proper cover for itself since July 2018 to promote the anime (made by now defunct Xebec).

It seems Horikoshi is like Oda now, he only does LCPs, except far less. The last 3 were the 4th anniversary, the results of the 4th popularity poll, and the 5th anniversary. And next one is probably gonna be the results of the 5th poll timed with the start of the new season of the anime.

Food Wars final chapter is on Viz and Manga+ (I think the last two went up a day late on Manga+ for some reason)

Lemme grab some popcorn to read the comments mess on MangaPlus and Reddit.

 

[Halloween]

New poll is up.

 

[Jovan]

New poll is up.

Can there be a 4th option, "I don't prefer any age specifically" or something like that added? As long as manga appeals to me, MCs age can never bring me in or push out of reading.

I'd vote for this option as well

 

[Tamil]

Lmao I saw the spoilers and heard that some disgusting ship happened between a certain man & his legal guardian? Is that true?

Anyway I see fans are displeased with this ending for Food Wars.

I think KnY has HQ best already at this point. It also looks like it’s making a beeline towards MHA. I can see it make Top 5 if things keep up at this rate.

HQ has had no anime for a very long time so its to be expected. HQ will overtake Kimetsu easily once the anime airs in Winter 2020.

Jujutsu Kaisen got hella color pages this year, they definitely give it love

Ditto for Act-Age. This data seems somewhat skewed, especially considering that the LCP is generally reserved for events (anniversaries, anime announcements, promotional events...).

--- Double Post Merged, Aug 29, 2019, Original Post Date: Aug 29, 2019 ---

So, it's confirmed that, indeed, there's a "three strikes, you're out" system for Jump. Guess we can expect to never see Ikezawa in the main magazine ever again.

 

[Tamil]

From reading the comments people agree that Soma's run in GIGA was a waste. Meanwhile HZ couldn't even get an epilogue on GIGA, it better get an epilogue for its final volume...

I... don't really know about that three strikes thing. Like if it came straight from them, I guess it's believable, but. Ichigo 100%'s author, I forget her name, had three or four flops in WSJ, didn't she?

She had 3 short series in WSJ. One of them (Hatsukoi Limited) had an anime though, so I don't know if it counts as a flop.

I mean, Jujutsu is 2nd and Act Age is 5th so I don't really think so. lol

The tweet isn't appearing here (I think it was deleted?) but what was there?

Jimoto also got one but people consider it a failure haha

From what I know, there's a fair bit of debate if Hatsukoi was canceled or just ended after a short run. Still, it came from after Strawberry 100% ended, so it's a moot point.

 

[lgrmjauffre]

I'm seeing that she had four short lived series, one before Ichigo and three after, so even if getting an anime constitutes not being a flop(I'm From Japan is the literal definition of a flop and it got an anime), that still leaves her with three series under 5 volumes, none of which were likely intended to be, at least not that I can imagine.

I only see Hatsukoi and AneDoki as her WSJ series after Ichigo. Or does Jump SQ count too?
