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

[Shinuki no Reborn]

OK I mean that WW will be in danger after Kowloon and ITC get axed.

Nah, don't need to be worried, it's popular and is already selling better than Sakamoto despite being out of stock in many places, is safe.

I think both new series will struggle. Though the martial arts road one may benefit from The Elusive Samurai pre conditioning current jump readers for the time period.

Excited for both but i also think the probability of them struggling is high, unless they're just really that good.

by one chapter. Looking over this TOC it gives me way more hope in the magazine's future than I had even at the start of 2021. With series like Blue Box, The Elusive Samurai, and Sakamoto Days performing well from the beginning while all feeling very different is nice to see + we've got Mashle and its growing popularity while others continue to do their thing (Mission: Yozakura Family, Ayakashi Triangle, Undead Unluck) even if I'm not a fan of all of them. It does mean however that there are fewer available spots in the magazine, so seeing two new serialisations I'm hopeful for right now is going to be tough.

Forgot Witch Watch that is already outperforming SD

I think I will do something I very rarely do, read a manga from the get go, Martial arts road -Neru- picked my interest because apparently it was published online before? (Was this published in Jump + or where online was it published?) Anyway, since it already has a fanbase from its digital serialization (Like others have pointed out, similarly to JJK) I think that will benefit its chances of success.

Also the fact that the mangaka, Hiraga Minya, loves Hoshin Engi (One of my personal favorites too) just kind of gives me hopes I will like the manga.

It was a exclusive serialization in the digital version of WSJ.

Spread color page and now popularity contest, i guess this is a confirmation Magu-chan is safe, at least for a while.

[animeexpert]

one of best new gen cover in jump. lmao

 

[tirakai]

That's a fun cover. It's always nice to get cover pages that aren't just the main character looking at you.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

The art of Red Hood there looks better than in the oneshot

 

[Magister Xehanort]

Talking about popularity poll, did Mashle ever have a popularity poll? Has any been announced or has not had any news about it? It's taking a while

omg

that means a cover and anime announcement have got to be next. guessing end of summer! hype

 

[tirakai]

I wonder if we'll see a Roboco poll announced too when it gets its anniversary colour pages.

I can't imagine Magu-chan getting its own cover, but I could see Jump possibly doing a duo cover with both it and Roboco together at some point.

The art of Red Hood there looks better than in the oneshot

It resembles Horikoshi's artstyle

 

[Pietro]

It resembles Horikoshi's artstyle

It's horikoshi's assistant indeed

[Rukasu]

Cell War has to be one of the worst character names I've ever seen in any manga lol. But the cover itself is fire

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Good to see that seems like the same content from the one shot, if they did the same with Bokura no Ketsumei, things could have been a lot different.
