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

[Halloween]

New poll is up.

 

[WyldViolet]

We do not know the reviews though. For all we know UU could have gotten lots of "hey, this is interesting" reviews in its first weeks, not necessarily with first placement but 2nd or 3rd so that the editorship knew there was a potential market for it in their readership. Deadpool already made a joke about it in 3rd chapter asking if the reviews for his first chapter were so bad they had to bring out the big guns already.
All we get to see is placement in TOC and sales, the "insides" with the editor talk about their future long-runners and how the reviewers see the line-up we get no real look into. Even if we use the TOC as a guidance, we don't really know how much of that was "popularity", "editor decision" or "normal procedure" as in trying to not have two series of the same genre right next to each other.

But yeah, the first series of an unknown mangaka is always shaky at best in their first couple weeks because you cannot predict where this might go. Except ofc it would blow up in sales and views right away like it did with SxF and Kaiju No.8. With a seasoned veteran you can make predictions, sort of, with a newbie it is a journey into the unknown with an editor's approval, based on their experience, knowledge about reader taste and general feeling about the mangaka and her/his product.

Kaiju no. 8 isn't from an unknown/rookie mangaka.

Kaiju no. 8 isn't from an unknown/rookie mangaka.

It’s now off topic to discuss Jump+ series in here. If you (or anyone else) wish to continue discussing this particular point, please do so in the Jump+ thread.

Thanks.

Even though Build King hasn't really appealed to me yet, I'd find it incredibly shocking if they don't give its first chapter a top 5 ranking in the TOC. They definitely hyped the author's return, so immediately giving it a lackluster ranking would catch me a bit off-guard. Even if it drops down gradually over time, I'm guessing the first few chapters will rank quite highly.

 

[Koni]

I say Top 5. Nak really likes bringing veteran talent back, and there’s really only like 5 established series currently running anyways. XD

 

[Tamil]

Top 5 for sure. Nakano was the editor for Toriko & even Takeshi. It's pretty obvious.

 

[CrOF]

Middle at worst, and it won't drop to the bottom unless its sales are abysmal.

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Given the recent track record, I’ll def say top 5 for its 1st chapter lol, after that it’s up in the air

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Top 5 but i wouldn't be surprised if is in the middle. Happy New Year for everyone!

 

[tirakai]

Almost everything seems to get top 5 or just out of it for its first chapter these days. Even Bone Collection was up there and it's a U19 series.

 

[101nemesis]

Middle at worst, yeah. It won't go to the bottom, not until we see Vol 1 sales.

Happy New Year ya'll

 

[TheRealTravisty]

Happy New Year, everybody!
I’m rooting for Gintama to knock off Kimetsu no Yaiba from first place in the box office at last...

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Gintama will over throw Kimetsu because all the Kimetsu fans will watch it to get those sweet Kimetsu drawings by gorilla-sensei

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

After Gotoge’s comments about Gintama I wouldn’t be surprised if most Kimetsu fans go support it, wouldn’t mind tho if it helps the movie, Gintama deserves it uwu

One Piece Color spreads of Chapter 999 and 1000.

Spoiler: Covers

And Shokugeki no Sanji CP.

Spoiler: CP

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Being cautious but is good to see Yozakura #6 being alongside Jujutsu Kaisen #14 the only January series out of stock on Amazon less than 2 days before release, hoping that is a actual good sign and not a site's problem

This guy said it was restocked but went out of stock again in 30 minutes LMAO

 

[4Eyes]

And Shokugeki no Sanji CP.

Spoiler: CP

Aldini Sanji is looking great.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Since Black Clover CP got leaked some days ago the only CP leak to appear is the Neverland oneshot. I know it isn't OP related and I'm a little tired of the Neverland Nak push, but I hope we get the CP appearing.

 

[James Rye]

I think BK will get 6th or 7th place, close but not quite in the Top 5.
