Cover and LCP for Guardian of the Witch

Oh my, these ones look so pretty.
I’m really looking forward to this series

 

[El Jacco]

Personally, I want for Agravity to succed as I have liked the majority of it chapters and having atleast 2 gag series running once again doesnt hurt the magazine.
They are obviously trying to find them and Im happy about it because gag series are one of my favorite genres so Im not against the constant introduction of gags.

 

[RafGL]

Seems we got some GFC people for the two new digital exclusive series.

 

[Thundercat27]

Tons since Cross Manage. Usually by vets.
Yui Kamui, Robot x Lazerbeam, Hungry Marie, Spring Weapon #1 (not by a vet, second chance rookie), Kagamigami, Illegal Rare, Soul Catcher(S) (not by a vet, second chance rookie).
There might be a couple others.
All the ones I mentioned except for RxL and SW#1 got cancelled around the same amount of chapters Samurai 8 is right now. Maybe like 10 more for Kagamigami I think, Soul Catcher(S) iirc actually made it a year.

I recalled Spring Weapon doing pretty decent in the TOC. Not sure if it's axed or ended naturally.

Seems we got some GFC people for the two new digital exclusive series.

So, looking at this, it seems Jump is trying a new experiment as they start the new decade.

Basically, what Jump is trying here is setting up a digital incentive of putting in mini-series akin to their GIGA runs to give greater spotlight to up and coming creators without the issue of being in an infrequent bonus publication people might no necessarily read. It's just continuing the shit away from the physical mag, more or less.

 

[supercow297]

It's the magazine's empty hype as usual. Don't take it too seriously. I'll say this as much: Yoshioka (GB's artist) new series clearly has heavy influences from his time with Inoue. It's nowhere near GB's level, but I find myself respecting his effort more, if only because it's clear he's just trying to apply what he's learned from his experience. But I'll stop now and leave it at that.

Wait can you elaborate on what you mean?

 

[tirakai]

I see Agravity Boys like Grand Blue but a lot less obnoxious and annoying. It has some pretty good gags, great build up to certain ones, and the setting is interesting even if they're yet to really explore much (though we have seen a couple cool alien plant stuff).

 

[Mammo]

What event would you be most excited for?

Other (Please specify)
new series from Riku Sanjo or Kazuki Takahashi
I'm memeing this into reality and there's nothing you can do to stop me

One Piece's Live-Action looking good.

Yuusha Yoshihiko is the shitpost that keeps on giving

Friendship ended with Zipman. Now Witch Guardian is my best friend.

Et tu, Rafa?
Shibata needs our energy more than ever

[OniluapL]

I don't really like Agravity Boys as a whole, but my feelings on the series are a little odd. I think they did two very funny chapters which I enjoyed and four really bad ones that thought to myself "why the fuck is this being published". A 1/3 success rate isn't terrible for a gag episodic manga, I guess, but...

Isn't Beet the Vandel Buster still ongoing currently though? It returned from hiatus to finish an arc, went on break, then came back for the next arc.

 

[Mammo]

yup, but he's only the writer for that, he can work on multiple projects at once and he have a very successful career in TV

also he have worked with other artists than Inada before

currently he's working with Masaki Satou on Fuuto Tantei

and worked with Shiibashi on a oneshot which they could go back to now that Kamio Yui is gone

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Extra pages for my boys! Agravity Boys is quickly becoming maybe my favorite of the current newbies so that makes me very happy. Would love to see a CP in a few issues.

 

[Radagast92]

Other:
I hope to see a new series by Kenta Shinohara.

Hype for Guardian of the Witch, let's see if it is good. I'm curious about the next round of new series/drops. Also, TPN, Kimetsu, WNL and Yuuna could end in the same period, it would be a strange transformation for WSJ.

Agrevity boys is Grand Blue except grand blue is good and Agravity is not. The end

 

[Thaed]

Agravity Boys is great imo. I also love Grand Blue. Both are great, let's just enjoy them both. The end

 

[animeexpert]

The art should bode well to catching the attention of new readers.

Please be good and a hit, I’m on my knees.

Oeh the color page is one of the best from the previous newbys. It smells like succes but we will see

 

[tirakai]

Looking at how previous series compared to how people judged them by their covers, I'm fully expecting Witch's Guardian to be incredibly offensive in some way.

 

[RafGL]

Okay, the circulation number doc is done. I have checked as many sources as I could, added dates and any relevant information so it's as clear as possible. There may still be some mistakes or maybe some old number that needs update, and in that case I ask you to provide me with whatever number should be changed and the source for it (hoping it's reliable enough). There's a total of 110 series, and remember, everything's circulation, I have tried to not mix any sales/estimation numbers (reason why series like PSYREN or Hinomaru Zumo are not in).

 

[yadayada]

Speaking of sales, is Oricon late today?

 

[Neala897]

I bet shueisha hacked them so they wouldnt show that kimetsu won individual volume race too
