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

[Pietro]

Red Hood and Neru will probably end around Issue #1. It seems like a new batch of three will start then, too.

On the other hand, I think you're definitely underestimating how long Dr.STONE has left. Treasure Island was ~40 chapters, and this arc has a lot more than that one to resolve than as the final climax. I still maintain my estimate that it will end late 2022.

Then Riichiro can focus on his true magnum opus, Trillion Game.

So do you think another series will end along them?
My bet are on HSFM... I don't see it will be a long serie

No, we just have an extra slot from a few months ago.

Jump #43:

Great:
One Piece - Let's go! Lit action, epic stuffs
Sakamoto Days - Some badass Shin action. That stuff was foreshadowed by the Triad guy
Jujutsu Kaisen - Wow, what a double page and the art as a whole was impressive! So the theory is now confirmed, the hype is real
Blue Box - Beautiful mix of sport and romance sparkles. I guess we saw Taikis rival from Sajikawa.

Good:
Dr. Stone - So we are heading straight to the final act? Since the longest arc till now is 38 chapters, I don't expect any less than that before the end.
Neru - The new character is very likeable and cool. Seems like Neru can learn a lot of stuffs from him.
The Elusive Samurai - Terrific introduction of the bad guys. This arc is looking pretty interesting.
Witch Watch - That Ogre Qigong tenet sure sucks. That normal side of Moi is such a hilarious one.

Fine:
PPPPPP - A fine 2nd chapter. The development with his mother was an expecting one. Let's see how he'll improve his skills.
Red Hood - Lol, the author kinda talked about his manga situation through Velou at the end. Bonkers backstory wasn't bad btw.

[OtterBrigade]

Viz released Bone Collection Volumes 1&2, Magu-chan God of Destruction Volume 1, and Mission Yozakura Family Volume 4 digitally today

 

[SharkBait]

Yozakura Family trapped in digital only is a crime against humanity.

I can see arguments for magu chan to be digital only though.

once again i wonder
why would you partner a writer with a below-average artist? and for a series that relays heavily on action scenes to carry it too

The artist did start to shine towards the end. Still nothing amazing, but worthy of the writing quality for sure.

By and large, new writers are going to have a hard time finding above-average artists. And below-average artists are going to have a hard time finding veteran writers to take them on. Everyone has to get experience somewhere.

If your artist can't draw heavy action scenes, you shouldn't be relying on them to carry your story in the first place. Even then, however, by no means was action the artist's weakest area.

Well, that was a fast...

 

[redon]

Well, that was a fast...

Probably becouse Eiichiro Oda drew last special poster a few months ago (I think he did in the first months of 2021) and now he had time to work in a new illustration.

And I'm pretty sure too that One Piece will have another Jump cover and color pages in November, to celebrate Anime episode 1,000. And another one in December to celebrate Volume 101 and the beginning of One Piece 25th Anniversary (in 20th Anniversary, One Piece had Jump cover and color pages in issue 01/2017).

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Yeah, is probably going to get another one for episode 1000, well, now hoping for a Black Clover on #46...

15k in 17 hours, nice, he don't post much and almost never posted drawings in 3 years, so is understandable his twitter is totally under the radar but he became quite vocal in the last 24 hours, wonder if the Vomic is a sign he's finally going to make the long awaited debut

Standard ToC, Magu-chan color page placed really high. Bottom 5 being pretty much the same for the last 3 issues, things going to be quite boring until Shonen Jump shake the magazine a bit with more new series

Excited for Yozakura cover and lead color page!

 

[KagamiKuroko]

Witch Watch has consistently been doing bottom 5 or 6 in TOC for a while and yet the volume sales showed increase so i have no idea how to read into that

 

[tirakai]

Witch Watch having it's second bottom 3 placement in a row (plus a 4th last before that), I guess the recent serious arc must not have been too popular in Japan.

Normal ToC otherwise with the newbies dead at the bottom, Ayakashi Triangle and HSF on the edge of the bottom, and core stuff at the top. I get the feeling we won't be seeing much of note happening with the ToC until PPPPPP is ranked.
