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

Very nice !!!

That's a pretty cool cover. Also, I'm intrigued by how involved Kubo still seems to be with WSJ and just art stuff in general. Interesting to see what the interview will be about.

Funny thing is Oda directly criticized Shonen Jump in the authors comment at the time because they didn't gave the magazine cover for Naruto last chapter, like you gave two chapters, one full color but still not the damn cover?

I'm still triggered about it. I dont care what for other problem lies for naruto but getting a cover, just give the goat a cover for his LAST chapter that carried your magazine. Zzzz

You'd think that would be a strong enough reason, right? But then you think about how WSJ hit its peak circulation because of DBZ and how DBZ became the strong starting point for WSJ (and for the manga and Anime industry) in becoming popular outside Japan and yet they didn't give it a cover. So I don't really know.

Pff, I dont know anymore.. how do covers even work, if simple thinks like these dont get covers

I read that before but I could never find the author comment where Oda said that.

I remember hearing somewhere around the time that Naruto was ending that Kishimoto wasn’t drawing the series (unofficially), but instead it was an assistant. Did anyone else hear anything about this or was this complete bull?

It's just a theory based on how the art changed and looked similar to Boruto which Ikemoto did. Also I think in an interview Kishimoto said Akira Okubo helped him create the manga due to the workload. I'm sure he was still drawing but so where his assistants, which makes sense especially considering how long Naruto went.

Speaking of Naruto, this was recorded from the Area 51 raid that was set for today.

 

[Mammo]

please like my brat

However, Boruto sells discreetly to be a sequel-spin off, and had its franchise.

A bit like Dr Stone, I read that here they diminish it a lot, but he had a boost

What's even more incredible is that this is currently the top story on Google.

 

[Franz]

Dr Stone's sales actually increased, it's not as bad as a boost (it's not like everyone has to duplicate / triple sales).

In my opinion, Stone is penalized in part by the fact that it is not just a series for everyone, but it seems that in the homeland it especially appeals to the female public and this can still have a certain value for the Jump.

44 Preview

I love the theme on the preview page is that everyone is eating because of the appetite due to autumn’s arrival

That's a positive way to see things but not even reaching 100k with 3 months of the anime airing after all the pushing, marketing and hype building isn't really good, not that i think anything will happen with the manga at all but i think Shonen Jump should start to treat Dr. Stone more like what it is, a average success.

For all we know, it could be like early Hinomaru, very popular with the magazine readers but doesn't correlate with people who buy volumes.

 

[Aeneas]

Taisei on a streak of great chapters.

Well, if the axe is coming, at least he’s going out strong.

 

[Jovan]

I really hope Act-Age decides to actually explore the pit bottom of mental health when all is said and done. That is all.

Though I guess it would be in Weekly Young Jump if that was ever to happen.

 

[RafGL]

I guess we can talk about chapters already. Haven't even read whole magazine yet, but I'm shaking already with Act-Age's chapter. I don't even need to read more to affirm it has been the BEST of the whole magazine this week.
