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

[redon]

I can't choose only one becouse I love this illustration cover from Weekly Shonen Jump issues #34 and #35

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Regarding Jujutsu cover of this week, I'd say the other Jujutsu cover was better.

Wondering if Jujutsu is still trending topic in Japan.

 

[OniluapL]

Mitama was really fun this week. I really love those ghosts, I actually hope the series gets to survive.

I'm actually falling off Yozakura a little more each passing chapter. I mean, it's fine, it's inoffensive, and definitely better than the previous 4 debuts, imo, but the start had a lot of potential for interesting scenarios and fun character interactions (the designs were pretty cool! the premise was great!) that it's just... not delivering. I think the writing is just not strong enough to make the chapters really stand-out.

But, as I said, it's still ok, I don't mind reading it, and it can always get better, It's just not reeeeally doing it for me.

I can't really pick between these 4. All four are my favourite covers from this year.

The MHA 5th year anniversary cover

The Black Clover one with Asta holding his demon destroyer sword along with the devil and litch at the front.

The Demon Slayer cover with Tanjirou, Kanao and Upper Moon 2

And finally the second Chainsaw man cover

 

[Stivie]

yozakura slowed down after chapter 9. The author made some chapters with the characters interacting, introducing other family members, and worked on the couple's relationship.
So the manga should be in a more comfortable situation.

 

[Rain Spectre]

I mean, per Jump's own advertising, Yozakura got a CP based on popularity, which is indicative that someone is reading the manga if nothing else.

It's a good thing too, because, with Yui, Taisei, Beast and Shinobi all being axed, along with TPN, WNL and KNY all entering their endgames, Jump is, at max, going to be able to cancel just four new serializations this year. Accounting for things like the likelihood of Yuuna ending this year and the possibility of Yozakura and/or Mitama being canceled, and we could be looking at a year where Jump is able to cancel literally none of its new series this year. Let's...let's hope that doesn't happen, least we suffer an even worse example of the Taibei Squad.

Actually, I thought of a game. Since this year is done, and we still have yet to know what the 9 other new serializations will be by, name three cancelled authors and one established veteran you'd like to see return in 2020

Your comment got too confusing with "this year" and "this year" everywhere, i think you mean 2020 when you're talking about Yuuna and others right?

Also, Jump will just cancel whatever they need to cancel for not working, it's literally impossible to Shonen Jump go a entire year without cancelling 0 new series

Yes, I am talking 2020.

That Beast Children sold under 1K yet ran for over half a year by virtue of them hitting the 11 new series cap proves that latter point is very much untrue. Something can easily skirt by simply because Jump doesn't have anything scheduled to replace it.

How Beast Children running for 20 something chapter proves anything? Shonen Jump is already cancelling it in December and possibly starting another 2 series after the double issues, there's literally no year where Shonen Jump didn't cancel a new flop, the fact that they're probably gonna lose mangas like Neverland, Yaiba, Yuuna and WNL next year will just make them cancel things even faster when they're not working at all lol

 

[El Jacco]

Mitama has been fun and its nice to see that the author can be able to give so much personality to characters like the spirits that they don't even have appealing designs. This week chapter is a great example of it.
Kinda hope'd that we still got the January V1 release to see how has been the early reception of it. Jump needed a gag manga and personally, I think Mitama can fit the shoes on that spot perfectly.

 

[Ebrietas-]

There is no such thing as a 11 new series cap and there are other stuff like HxH, GFC and mini series like Dr Stone reboot that can fill empty spots.

Apparently this is shueshia's internal numbers in circulation copies.

"Shueisha's internal statistics: 2019 KnY 10.8 million copies, OP 12.7 million copies"

I'm not fully clear of what this means. If someone can check this I would appreciate it.

If says circulation numbers it makes sense since One Piece had 4 volumes released on 2019 fiscal year and if i'm not mistaken, they're still printing 3 million for each volume which means 4 volumes = 12 million copies printed, and the 700k must be older volumes getting reprints

"It was made public on November 25th that the popular manga "One Piece" by Oda Eiichirou currently serialized in "Weekly Shounen Jump" (Shueisha) recorded estimated cumulative sales of 12,700,000 (from November 19th 2018 until November 17th 2019). It is 2019's #1 manga domestically. This manga has greatly achieved an unprecedented first print of 3 million copies for 10 continuous years and it shows no signs of slowing down. In "Jump", there's one more work, a manga that has made a steady advance. That's Gotouge Koyoharu-san's "Kimetsu no Yaiba". It recorded estimated cumulative sales of 10.800.000 copies (same time period) and came in #2 after "One Piece"."

Left the last part out. I though it would be only first print too since we've followed the numbers closely but "売り上げ" is sales, I'm a bit confused.

 

[Rain Spectre]

I seriously hope the history making award of Kimetsu beating OP doesn't vanish because of Shueisha overprinting the latter. That would suck balls.

The title of the article said it : One Piece: The manga that sold the most this year.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

No way One Piece sold almost 13 million of copies in 2019, there's something wrong here

Jujutsu Kaisen Serie : Volume 0-7 + Novel 1 (+ digital) : 2 500 000

Its from 18/11/2018 to 17/11/2019. And maybe he's counting digital sales too. What Oricon does not do.
