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

[Konja9]

Yozakura to me feels like it's doing the thing where it throws in a bunch of different types of content as quickly as it can hoping one will stick, and it'll follow that genre from vol 2 onwards.

It does have way too many characters though, like do we even need that many siblings introduced right at the start if it's not starting out with a bunch of character-establishing chapters? Just say there's a few away on missions or something and gradually introduce them to the core cast as it goes on. Granted having all the siblings makes for nicer group shots but I forget how many there are even.

I have similar feelings about Yozakura.

It seems the siblings are there just to a group shot, since it is an exotic group. However, the characters are pretty relegated.

That said, I enjoyed most chapters.

Horikoshi or how to manage to get your dream become a reality.

Tite Kubo x Kohei Horikoshi Special Talk

Kubo advice on current Shonen Jump authors.
Kubo: We didn’t talk much about this, but my generation had to draw while bearing in mind that “everyone considers the era of Dragon Ball and Slam Dunk to be the golden age of manga.” We were constantly plagued by self-doubt. Even though everyone thinks their own manga is the best in the world as they’re working on it, we couldn’t shake off the fear that our series weren’t on par with the ones we had enjoyed as children. Today, Horikoshi-kun reassured me that “the most interesting Jump is the one you used to read.” That means the current youth considers whatever they’re reading now to be the most interesting.

So I guess Horikoshi has settled the discussion of whether the Big 3 was an actual thing or not once and for all.

So I guess Horikoshi has settled the discussion of whether the Big 3 was an actual thing or not once and for all.

I mean, Nakano the chief editor himself has stated the past era was run by three pillars aka OP, Naruto and Bleach. So if the magazine's editor says that, every other opinion is moot.

 

[Aeneas]

When the author comments being behind makes things kinda awkward.

 

[Jovan]

Wait, what is that Taisei ending....? Was that just a comedy gag or this manga is taking a turn?

 

[Thores]

Dr. Stone Reboot is being simulpublished on Manga+ and the Shonen Jump app, just FYI.

 

[Aeneas]

Wait, what is that Taisei ending....? Was that just a comedy gag or this manga is taking a turn?

I'm all in regardless.

Also, saved for when the axe comes:

Spoiler

 

[NeeNeen]

It's releasing on Friday again next week. This has been happening a lot.

 

[Jovan]

Yozakura somehow managed to get even more fast paced, what the hell? Not a huge fan of that. At least we finally had a family member focused cute chapter.

So much for Mitama having an arc lol.

 

[NeeNeen]

Beast Children managed to make the words "We've only just begun" feel like an ending.

I'm seriously expecting it to end next week or the week after that.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Yes, at least Yozakura started with the chapters/mini-arcs for the rest of the family members. Can't wait for gamer girl.

Unlike Beast Children, this chapter of Taisei hasn't given any sensation of ending, and has been another funny chapter.

My top-3 this week would be Haikyuu, Chainsawman and...Miitama. This Miitama chapter has been gold.

EDIT: About the Futari Taisei end of chapter:

inb4 the shadow is Haga

Horikoshi: Kubo-sensei, I’ll never forget the words you said to me long ago. We were taking a taxi together when I confessed to you that “I have no idea what my forte is.” You immediately replied, “Art, of course,” and I felt a path open up before me.

Not gonna lie. Kubo's response was inspirational.

Wait what? You can interpret it is an indirect insult lol.

Regarding Taisei, this chapter said that the MC has 1 match left at the end, so they could wrap it in 2 chapters I guess.

 

[Nemesis]

Huh, Summer Time Rendering had nipples today with the sensei. Pretty surprised as I don't remember any manga on mangaplus with it, which just makes me wish that Yunna was there and uncensored lol

 

[ShenGao]

I thought BNHA was supposed to be on a break next week? On Mangaplus it says it'll come out next week.

 

[101nemesis]

Wait what? You can interpret it is an indirect insult lol.

But Horikoshi's art is pretty fucking good. Also, fairly certain Kubo was talking as an artist to another artist. An artist's greatest strength is their art.

 

[Thores]

I thought BNHA was supposed to be on a break next week? On Mangaplus it says it'll come out next week.

Horikoshi says in the author's comments that he's going to take a break, so the Mangaplus thing is likely just a clerical error.

 

[NeeNeen]

According to M+, this is the first time in Jump history that a spin-off and the main series are running at the same time.

So yeah, special.

Maybe they'll just publish an illustration or something, like they do for the Jump+ series when there's no chapter.

Yeah, I think that was said before, but now confirmed. Dr. Stone is really the Toriko of the decade, but way less successful. XD
