don't know why Shinohara closed his twitter

Of course, the objection to this argument is always that these female Jump fans are ‘women who like manga for boys.’ Such was the argument that Astra Lost in Space and SKET Dance author Kenta Shinohara used when he commented on the situation – an argument that provoked such a backlash that he has now retired his account. But would employing female editors to work on Jump really so radically change the character of the magazine’s series?

Assuming we get a cancelation for every new series, which are the other contenders

This batch is done, with OBO dying we'll be back to 20 series.

And apparently Katayama did not launch Yozakura. Isaka did before he left (he also launched Gondaira's previous series).

Not to insult Isaka, but it actually makes sense now, thinking of how Yozakura was messy at the beginning of the series. We're talking about the dude that launched E-Robot, Devily Man, Love Rush!, Amalgam, Poro, RxL, Invade You!, Double Taisei and Beast Children. Luckiest thing ever for Gondaira was to switch to Azuma, and it shows in the quality of the series. He just needed a proper editor, and Katayama is more than decent to have early Yozakura on his work list.

 

[Ike79]

can you give an example of famous manga with such plot?

Bleach and Buso Renkin, off the top of my head. Tokyo Ghoul also fits the archetype, with some subversion.
By "magical girl", I mean "girl with extraordinary power", not necessarily a maho shojo.

Uwa, Ashibi is gonna have a series in Jump, freaking cool. It's been nearly 30 years since a mangaka moved from Sunday to Jump - Kiriyama Kouji author of Ninku was the last one I believe. Hard to judge if a baseball series have a chance in Jump but we will see. Looking at Jump line-up right now everything is possible I guess.

Don't remember a time when I was genuinely interested in the new Jump serialisation round this much. Matsui and Shinohara new series should be fun.

Well that list helps explain how someone approved Double Taisei's crazy first few chapters. Since both of his series were with this subpar editor, I still hope he comes back for a third shot (or in Jump+) since his artwork is actually quite nice. I wonder if Invade You's author will do better under a different editor since the E-Robot/Love Rush author seems to be doing much better than before.

Yeah delighted for him too bro. It’s been 10 years since he first started back in Gessan. Let’s see if this new spokon can bring him some good success after how far he’s come.

 

[tirakai]

I didn't realise the Baseball manga's artist is coming from another publisher.

Do we know anything about its writer? I think the last time we didn't have any newbie artists in a batch was Zipman/Agravity Boys.

Wouldn't it be the Mashle/UxU/Guardian of the Witch batch?

 

[Rukasu]

Since some people were interested in it some weeks ago, here are all the Jump 2021 spines until now

 

[Rheine]

Huh, I never knew about the Shinohara Twitter fiasco.

Anyway, my favorite chapters from this week were One Piece, Roboco, and Undead Unluck. Overall, everything was pretty good. Dunno how the author will wrap OBO up, but I'm rather glad it's ending.

And of course, hype for the new round of serialization. I've been reading along Assassination Classroom on the Manga Plus app and I'm continuously reminded by Matsui's excellent skill and talent at getting the right amount of drama, levity, and wholesomeness. (Though I dropped Neuro)

I wonder why they use "in" for every language. Do they think that's a universal word or something?

 

[Mammo]

YYH

Nak would be the dumbest person on the planet to cancel Phantom Seer.

welp, RIP Phantom Seer

oh, I never even heard of this
this isn't even that spicy of a take
I hope he comes back, I think the online reception Astra received after its run was more important to the series than any promo the series got during its run
and I think having an active twitter shilling the new series would help it too

Taiyo next to say a line?

 

[Radagast92]

There is an error in the italian spine. It should be "di vivere", not "de vivere".

 

[susanoo13]

I thought all three were newbies. what was their previous serialization?

 

[101nemesis]

Nevermind, my bad. I misinterpreted his statement.

 

[Halloween]

So, question for everyone. What prominent veterans that haven’t already returned are you expecting?

My man Kawada
For artists, I'll like Ohkubo, Murata and Akatsuki (the Medaka Box artist)
