Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2021] - Discussion and ToC Talk

[yadayada]

Kaiju's start is fantastic. Not too surprising given how well it was doing on views and preorders (which have been super high the entire month since it was put up), but it's good to have confirmation. Another big hit for J+.

Phantom seer's start is bad. Well, again not too surprising I guess.

 

[Mammo]

all the talk of K8 made me not notice that GG isn't doing so well

Kaijuu8 and Ghost Girl first volumes are supposed to be out in December right? could this issue will leak the covers?
pretty sure K8 will sell better, I know it's been a while but Ghost Girl have the infamous Viz curse written all over it

Oh, there is a note at the bottom of shoseki:

※｢怪獣８号 1」の初版は約20万部!!（推測値）

200k first print for volume 1 for kaiju (estimated), crazy.

Jesus, at least it looks like they weren't wrong to do so, seems like it's going to pay off.

 

[Halloween]

Are we seeing another SxF situation here?

Jesus.

 

[Koni]

Number 6.
Kaiju is Number 6, day 1.
And a 200k first print, too? Man, I'm glad I'm paying more attention to Jump+. Some real interesting stuff is going on there and I'm excited to see.

I really need to catch up to the manga cause I loved what I read of it, so I'm glad it's doing well! This may very well become the next Spy x Family, it's grown to be popular in the East and the West, it seems.

Pochi Kuro chads

after all these years....we have won

on a serious note, Jump Plus was a really great idea
SxF saved Endou's career after Gekka Bijin & Tista
Blue Flag saved Kaito's career after Cross Manage and Buddy Strike
Saotome saved Yamamoto's career after E Robot and Love Rush
Summertime Render saved Tanaka's career after Catoblepas and Kagijin
Karada Sagashi saved Murase's career after Dois Sol and K.O. Sen

not only is it a great alternative for struggling artists, it also stop them from joining the competition publishers
and now Hirakata (Kiruko-san, Best Blue) and Tsuchida (Lock On, My Animal) are giving it a go too

That's really cool! Best of luck to those two!

The special annoucment is a Chainsaw Man Christmas Special anime.

The special annoucment is a Chainsaw Man Christmas Special anime.

I know that would never happen but that'd be genuinely hilarious.

I know that would never happen but that'd be genuinely hilarious.

The more I think about it the more I want it to happen.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

One Piece Super Stage will be on Dec 20th for 40 minutes, All Straw Hats VAs will present except Brook and Jinbe !

And the other Shonen Jump Super Stages? What is their length? Who are coming? You know, One Piece isn't the only Shonen Jump manga with a super stage and I'm more interested in My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen Super Stages.

 

[SiMidori]

It's great for Kaiju 8
and Honomieru shonen 1 79th...
I'll keep optimistic considering there is this big KNY JJK's wall

 

[Smilzyy]

#76 Honomieru Shounen 1

Great to see PS on 76. I think it will drop a lot soon because of the stock issues.

Don't forget to mention how Jump Plus exposes the greatness of Fujimoto.

According to his editor comment, Ryo Nakama, mangaka of High School Family has now switched editors: It’s only been three months, but thank you to Yoritomi-san! Hashimoto-san, welcome to the team!

Yoritomi was in charge of High School Family and Build King, meanwhile, Hashimoto had no series listed as far as we know.

 

[Ike79]

So it looks like Phantom Seer has a chance of joining the 10k club, huh? If this keeps happening Jump might become more competitive than it has been in the last few years. That could lead to a couple of untimely cancelations, even with all the extra space.

Anyway, I am excited to see how much Undead Unluck grows, and what sort of trend Ayakashi will have.

[KidaShikage]

Good start for Kaijuu! I expected it to sell, but not that much. The 200k first print is also awesome, and will be even more if it manages to sell all that in a month.
Even if its backlog didn't chart in Shoseki, was Undead Unluck's previous volume this high? It seems it grew.
Honomieru Shounen started... well, started. I want to be optimistic thinking it'd be higher if Kimetsu and Jujutsu's backlogs' weren't there. If the stock problem is real, it gives me some hope too.
I wasn't sure how it'd do, but Ghost Girl flopped hard on its first day.

Now we just have to wait 'til the weekly chart to have some numbers.
