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

[Mankichi Togawa]

Sooooo, I guess we are having 2 more newcomers coming in January, in issues 8 and 9.

 

[Stivie]

The 3rd volume of Beast Children & Tokyo Shinobi Squad are announced as the last ones. The series will end in December in the magazine.

Now I don't understand. Will they cancel 4 manga to debut only 2?

Does not make sense.

 

[Heiji]

Is there any reason why Gon would appear next to Jujutsu kaisen in the middle of the issue?

For start :

Shiritori - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

(しりとり) is a Japanese word game in which the players are required to say a word which begins with the final kana of the previous word. No distinction is made between hiragana, katakana or kanji. "Shiritori" literally means "taking the end" or "taking the rear".[1]

A player who plays a word ending in the mora N (ん) loses the game, as no Japanese word begins with that character.

And so this year, since 1st issue of 2019, we find on the edge of each issue a character name from the Shônen Jump series. And so, for the 50th issue we had Tokitou Muitarou, for the 51st issue, we had Uraraka Kacchako. And so for the 52nd (and last) number we find Gon. And like Gon, ends with an n, and the 52nd number is the last, that means the end of the game.

Maybe the other two new series will start in January and so he will announce them in December.

Does not make sense.

Along with these two Byakuya will end, so expect new serializations along those first two we'll have.

 

[westabyss]

Interestingly enough, Young Jump seems to have female staff members.

 

[SharkBait]

The 3rd volume of Beast Children & Tokyo Shinobi Squad are announced as the last ones. The series will end in December in the magazine.

Say it ain't so. I'm crying.

 

[Brizzi]

The 3rd volume of Beast Children & Tokyo Shinobi Squad are announced as the last ones. The series will end in December in the magazine.

Thank God. I don't usually get happy by early cancelations, but apart from Double Taisei, which was entertaining each week, the other ones were all boring (for me, of course) and it wasn't so early anymore. It was hard to follow.

I always get hyped up when new series start, it's always a breath of fresh air. Hope some of them turn out to be good, as I'm really liking Yozakura and Mitama's batch.

 

[Jovan]

They will probably end Beast in the next issue and TSS in #2. Then a new 3 series batch after the double issues/Byakuya end.

 

[tirakai]

I'm guessing that means probably Beast Children ending next issue and TSS the week after that then, maybe an issue gap in-between them or something.

I can't imagine they'll announce "oh actually it was 3 new series", so I guess we're just going to have 2 spots open for oneshots and special chapters with another batch in January after Dr Stone Reboot ends? Maybe even 3 gaps for an issue or two. Sure they're all mostly just padding out the bottom but still, it's going to feel slightly empty for a few weeks.

 

[Jovan]

Exactly as I guessed it: 2 free spots for oneshots and Jump+ special chapters promotion. After all, December volumes will be out soon.
Shueisha already started with Boukyaku Battery.

I am guessing we are getting Dosanko Gyaru is Mega Cute to promote Vol 1 and Jigokuraku for Vol 8, maybe Koisuru One Piece for Vol 4 or Ao no Flag for Vol 8 (would be nice to see Kaito in Jump temporarily like with Summer Time managaka).

There is also Shijinso no Satsujin for Vol 1, but I don't think it's popular to warrant any special treatment.

 

[101nemesis]

Kimetsu's current pace actually seems to be parallel to Bleach's rise as well. Might give an insight on what KNY could do if it was longer in length.

BLEACH
1 - 16 .......16 million
1 - 17 .......18 million
1 - 18 .......20 million
1 - 19 .......23 million
1 - 19 .......24 million
1 - 22 .......30 million
1 - 22 .......31.3 million

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

So they probably gonna start another batch on #8 after the double issues and this time we will get the magic school manga, hope for more 3 new series, space is what Jump most have now

Told you guys, Kimetsu could be one of Jump biggest sellers, if the trend doesn't dies... I don't think it will.

Also the circumstances of its and BLEACH's rise are pretty similar. A good anime adaptation that covered the material fast (at the time it was first speculated that BLEACH's anime would only cover the Soul Society arc, and it did it rather fast covering 23 volumes in like 60 anime episodes)

@Tamil could you tell me your source for the Dr.Slump jump in print copies? Not calling you a liar or anything just genuinely curious.

Sure. It was posted in the WSJ/Shueisha thread on MAL (dead thread but good information about copies in print info and the person who posted is credible person I would say & a certified Toei shill )

Weekly Shonen Jump & Shueisha Thread!

Strangely there is no thread in this site where people can discuss Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine, its publisher and its mangas. Until Now! So here I am beginning with this thread asking for a healthy discussion of the most popular Manga Magazine of Japan! To keep the thread fresh I will try to...

Everyone, please do not share tweets that are opinion pieces. Tweets should be shared that are factual, and related directly to the magazine itself, like sales, etc.

 

[perroloco]

@Tamil thanks for the info, that's a very, very valuable post xD I wish there was an option to save posts here (Is it?)
Also, I'm not a native speaker, so when you said a Toei Shill... Is the person like a Toei employee (Like an insider)? Or a Toei supporter (Like someone who got paid to promote a good image for Toei on the internet)?

 

[supercow297]

I've noticed this forum rule is broken a lot on here, so I'd like to highlight it for everyone to see.

So no more chainsawman sales gif reactions?

I actually did get permission from my superiors to do that, however, I stopped doing it several weeks back, specifically because people would think it's okay to do similar things on their end. The main reason I highlighted that rule was for the one word, one-liner portion specifically, though.

Well, that's a reasonable response and I'm glad you took my prodding in a lighthearted manner.
