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

[TyVip]

In my opinion I feel like japanese lost their taste... poor things they like just horror, dark manga. Look the success of Kny, Aot, Tokyo ghoul and now jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsawman and phantom...
It seems they lost the interest in good battle shonen like bleach, reborn, d.gray man or toriko. It's so sad seeing these new titles selling so much. I like them, but I wouldn't spend much of my money on them.
The only jump series I would buy would be Undead, black clover and Dr. Stone at the moment

is this bait?

Early Bleach is Hollow of the Week + Little bit of Detective (Who is the Hollow?, and Soul Society Arc doesn't starts until chapter 51
that's like a year into its serialization.
The first 61 chapters of Early Reborn has similar antic to Yozakura Family, which is also a year into its serialization
There is a Toriko but with Building serialized right now

I don't understand why you mention D Grayman in the second paragraph and Kimetsu in the first while it literally has Black Order (Hashira), Millenium Earl and the Akuma (Michael Jackson and his Demon). Akumas are literally human in the past

and again with Bleach in the 2nd paragraph and Jujutsu in the first
Hollow is deceased human souls with despair and regret, cursed energy spawn from negative human emotions

All four have ugly monsters that can fit the horror element

Reeks of bait but the japanese folks can like and dislike whatever they want and because of that doesn't mean they "lost their taste".

15M in circulation for Jujutsu

Amazing Jump from the last circulation number and amazing cover. Jujutsu Kaisen domination (with Kimetsu no Yaiba) in 2021 is coming.

Stop Hibari-kun, a gag manga from 1980, ended on the writer having a character openly rant about how Shonen manga was dying due to too many romance series, all because of a revolt against Jump's editors.

 

[101nemesis]

Jujutsu Kaisen #14

Quite easily my favorite artist right now in WSJ. Jesus!
His art when colored is God-tier.

 

[Jorden Rivera]

Jujutsu Kaisen #14

This might be in my Top 3 JJK Volume covers behind 11 & 9. Idk I feel like I prefer volume covers with only one or two people rather than like an ensemble cast. It just feels more personalized and it makes it more memorable IMO. Like Bleach used to do this a lot with its covers. For contrast, One Piece covers, even though I generally enjoy them, don't give me this same feeling.

[Griff]

At this point I think it's fair to say that One Piece , Dragon Ball and Kimetsu no Yaiba are the three biggest manga of all-time.

1. One Piece because it have the world record for number of sales, but also have many more volumes than #2 and #3 and we could argue that #2 and
#3 with the same amount of volumes would have more sales

2. Dragon Ball because of it's impact in the whole world

3. Kimetsu no Yaiba for how big it became in such a small time breaking every yearly record including in other medias (movie) + will most likely break the record for sales per volume.

Well...Eguchi was pretty much the OG Togashi in terms of hiatuses in old Jump (never got too bad but there was quite a few hiatuses for Hibari-kun's run), so much so that Eguchi blames himself for Togashi's hiatuses (don't have a link with me but it's out there). Having the last chapter end on such a sudden way made it to be one of my personal favorite....."endings" for any manga.
Also It would seem that the influx of romcoms in Jump druing that time was due to Urusei Yatsura's popularity. Romcoms really only started to appear in Jump from the 80's and onwards.

 

[Tamil]

Ugh.
Just give me an anime remake.

That would be a waste to remake something that was already fantastic to begin with. The anime added so much to the manga and it's one of the best adaptations in this magazine tbh.

So they're both doing both the writing and art, or not known yet? Not too surprising with Tsukuda since he had a series by himself back in 2010, but I don't think Shirai has ever done both. Makes sense he would wanna try, though.

Whilst agree it’s one of best adaptations of Jump, i don’t think it would hurt to have a remake with more modern animation.

I would however have want to keep the overall quality of life improvements the original anime made such as fleshing things out

So it´s the magazine´s main characters together with a One Piece character, reminiscent of the 50th anniversary cover.

Tsutsui drew Hancock and Shimabu drew Gaimon. Both of those are very in character.
