Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Magazine - News and Discussion

[natsu x777]

It really calls my attention how WSM has skipped any color page to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of their franchise manga.

It's fun and sad how Blue Lock hasn't gotten anything for its Fall anime while Amagami, Four Knights of the Apocalypse and Shangri-La Frontier have. And let's see what happens to Ao no Miburo and issue 46

I suppose that for Issue #46 will have the Magazine Cover for anime start, Suddenly they want to give a big boost to Shangri la Frontier, Blue Lock already has it

And for Issue #47 will have Ao no Miburo Lead Color Pages

Shangri-La Frontier S2 OP & ED


I like the ED more and we're so back.

So, who's going to buy the first volume of Galaxias (print or digital)?

I wanna go order the physical one but I realized I'd be better off just buying it when I go to Japan next year.

It depends. Do you REALLY like the series? Would you be sad if it were cancelled? Because it doesn't look really good with the lack of enthusiasm of Japanese readers as for now...

I think they were expecting something else from the title, as far as I can see... I don't know...

Kuroiwa Medaka ni Watashi no Kawaii ga Tsujinai has 1´700.000 Copies Sold until Volume 16

--- Double Post Merged, Oct 17, 2024 ---

- This was one of the few times that all series publish their weekly chapter (I think it's the third time this year).

- It's incredible that they didn't give Blue Lock a magazine cover, I don't know what the magazine is thinking by not giving relevance to the best-selling series in the magazine and Japan in 2023.

- It's possible that in the little that remains of this fiscal year, we'll have a cover for Shangri-La Frontier for its 200th chapter and Hajime no Ippo for its 1500th chapter.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I want to complain about the lack of LCP Mayonaka Heart Tune is having. The manga is doing pretty well, but Amagami or Medaka had more LCPs already by the amount of chapters Mayonaka has already

 

[pennycryman]

1. Blue Lock 31
6. Goddess Cafe Terrace 17
7. Rent-a-Girlfriend 38
8. Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister 17
11. Kuroiwa Medaka is Impervious to my Charms 16
16. Yowayowa sensei 9
23. Sentai Daishikkaku 16
34. Irozuku Monochrome 1
60. Galaxias 1

Ok start for Irozuku, meh start for Galaxias. I wouldn't panic yet, Akabane and Orion used to debut around here, and there could be stock. Weekly Shoseki should be interesting in any case.

 

[ThisIsIt]

Disappoints number of Galaxias tbh it could be axe or transfer to another platform if it doesn't improve. But I think it will.


Irozuku is on another hand. It doing almost as good as Mayonaka Heart Tune and Kaijin Fugeki and better Tthan Orion Board despite author is not exactly veteran like those three. He never had successful series before this so veteran card probably don't work here

--- Double Post Merged, Oct 18, 2024, Original Post Date: Oct 18, 2024 ---

If Irozuku doing this good then I think Yumene Connect probably will doing even better. Engagement on official account is doing far better so far. And from my point of view who only read first few chapters for both. Yumene look more interesting

Ok start for Irozuku, meh start for Galaxias. I wouldn't panic yet, Akabane and Orion used to debut around here, and there could be stock. Weekly Shoseki should be interesting in any case.

I think that GALAXIAS was really hurt by the 4 weeks of absence.

At least it didn't have such a catastrophic start as Love Forty.

 

[pennycryman]

Kind of funny how Ao no Miburo is getting a better boost than Amagami, especially with the difference in editorial treatment.
243. Ao no Miburo 1
