Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Magazine - News and Discussion

[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

AT LEAST WSM EIC REMEMBERS MAYONAKA!

Finally checked out Kaijin Fugeki and thought it was pretty good. I'll be honest I haven't kept up with a series in Magazine since Ayumu ended so my knowledge of what's going on with the mag is pretty limited. Anything from the last couple of years a must read?

Must Read for me actually in this magazine:

1. Blue Lock
2. Mayonaka Heart Tune
3. Gachiakuta
4. Shangri-La Frontier
5. Amagami san Chi no Enmusubi
6. GALAXIAS

Can't find a magapoke thread so I'll ask here: what do you think about "Dead account"? It seems there is no hype around it...

I love Shizumu Watanabe previous works but not this. It's strange the sales are so bad even with initial hype when it first release (tweet about first chapter got 120k likes) and then it moved to magapoke then no one seem to care anymore.

Thanks. In your opinion, problem of structure, narration, or characters?

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 14, 2024, Original Post Date: Nov 14, 2024 ---

From what I gather from Japanese readers, they deem it having no originality (knock off of JJK in the structure/characters).

I think that kind of story doesn't work in the magazine, for me the Magazine works more in the Fantasy/Medieval genre.

Also it doesn't offer anything new, at least as far as I read.

Although I did love her previous story "Majou ni Sasagerou Trick" that was cancelled.

How Anime Adaptations Affect Manga Sales

Or more specifically how anime adaptations affected the sales for the recent Shonen Magazine / Magazine Pocket manga.

First, the series that got a huge boost in sales following the anime adaptation:

Spoiler: Toukyou Revengers

Spoiler: Go-Toubun no Hanayome

Spoiler: Blue Lock

Next, the ones that got a decent boost in sales:

Spoiler: Days

Spoiler: Kanojo, Okarishimasu

Spoiler: Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet

These series had significant drops in sales before anime adaptations, but still got a decent boost following anime adaptation. This is a relatively rare situation.

Spoiler: Enen no Shouboutai

Spoiler: Wind Breaker

The following ones didn't get substantial or lasting boosts in sales:

Spoiler: Fuuka

Spoiler: Aho Girl

Spoiler: Tsurezure Children

Spoiler: UQ Holder!

Spoiler: Domestic na Kanojo

Spoiler: Senryuu Shoujo

Spoiler: Runway de Waratte

Spoiler: Eden's Zero

Spoiler: Iji-ranaide, Nagatoro-san

Spoiler: Fumetsu no Anata e

Spoiler: Kanojo mo Kanojo

Spoiler: Kawaii Dake ja nai Shikimori-san

Spoiler: Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru

Spoiler: Megami no Café Terrace

Spoiler: Shangri-La Frontier

Spoiler: Sentai Daishikkaku

Note: For various reasons, I didn't include some titles; like "Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest", "Ahiru no Sora" and a few from Magazine Pocket. Mostly, because there is not enough data for proper display.
