WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP THREAD RULES​

#1. No fights or personal insults.
#2. No bait or troll comments with the intention of being annoying or starting serious heated discussions, if i notice it's a continuous behavior, i will warn the user or delete the comment.
#3. No toxic attitude towards series, no one is obligated to enjoy any series and it's totally fine to criticize what you don't like, just avoid posting gratuitous hateful or toxic comments about X or Y series, if i notice this behavior, comments will be deleted.
#4. Don't bring politics or off-topic stuff to the thread, this is about Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and mangas, so keep any conversation about topics that aren't related about anime & manga outside the thread.
#5. Don't post news about series from other magazine or publishers in the WSJ thread, post in the series own thread, but it's fine if you're mentioning other series or magazine to express a opinion or reflection about Shonen Jump.
#6. Any tweet, specially japanese, about news, update or some interesting thing about the magazine or series has to come with a text of what that tweet means and also be on topic, if not it's going to be either deleted or i will edit the post.
#7. Refrain from self advertising or advertising Youtubers videos in the comments.
#8. Constant fanart posts just for the sake of praising a favorite series is prohibited, this rule doesn't apply for official art by Jump artists posted on social media, they're fine to post.
#9. Don't discuss or hype chapter spoilers before Sunday release, only comment if is related to a series surviving status and do it only inside the spoiler tag.
#10. Regarding rule #9, an exception will be made for when we have new series, in this case, spoilers will be allowed only for the first 3 chapters of a new series for the users who are interested in knowing informations and details about the new series, these spoilers will obviously be kept under tags to protect anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled, so don't worry about it.
~ Shinuki

I hope everyone reads the rules and use it as a guide to behave well in the thread, thanks! :kkthumbs

An interesting question for you guys: Has there ever been an author that failed, left the magazine, and then came back at another point?

Like, for example since we were just talking about them. Asahi Sakano (author of Guardian of the Witch) only failed once but they're publishing elsewhere. Has there ever been an author like them who published somewhere else and then in the future published a second series in WSJ?

At last, we are free of the Otr discourse...(tbhididntminditthatmuch)

I've only been able to be online for a long period of time and chat w people a little rarely this year, first time I get to chat w friends in vc, it leads to me confessing to my crush, and on the same day I find out Otr is axed, and a while later I check this forum and its already gone up to 100+ pages huh

I wonder if Himaten will get the Kill Blue treatment, unlikely though.

Hideo Shinkai: Finished Soul Catcher(S), published "Shunkan Tantei Hirameki Hayao" for 2 volumes on Saikyo Jump and returned to WSJ with Earthchild

Kenta Shinohara: Finished Sket Dance, published Astra Lost in Space on Jump Plus and returned to WSJ with Witch Watch

Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro: Finished Seikimatsu Leader-den Takeshi, published "Ring" on Super Jump for 3 volumes and returned to WSJ with Toriko

Kentaro Yabuki: Finished To Love-ru, published Mayoi Neko Overrun & To Love-ru Darkness on JumpSQ, published Darling in the FranXX on Jump Plus and returned to WSJ with Ayakashi Triangle

Takeshi Obata: Finished Bakuman, published All You Need Is Kill on Young Jump for 2 volumes and returned to WSJ with Gakkyu Houtei

Nisio Isin: Finished Medaka Box, published like 50 other series in other magazine/publishers and returned to WSJ with Cipher Academy

It may have few other examples from older authors but i don't really remember other cases, once you leave Jump is almost certain you will not return.

I wonder next week probably will be Gonrong egg time.
Maybe after all Harukaze will survive

And Kill Blue finish it's serialization run with a small increase making it the highest volume sales since vol 8:

Kill Blue #10 (14.850)
Kill Blue #11 (13.850)
Kill Blue #12 (13.762)
Kill Blue #13 (15.599)



Happy for it because it shows again how, in my opinion, it was a stupid decision by Saito, the series could still been running just fine, anime ready to broadcast in 3 months and the series naturally wrap it up together with the anime, who knows, it could even get some small increase seeing how the anime is looking quite good, but well, excited for the anime and hopefully Fujimaki comes back in the future! :^_^

Good to see that the series is still making it into the half year, but it is pretty clear, much like another user (I don't remember who exactly, either Penny or Krenkren I think) pointed out, it is in need of an anime.

For comparison, Volume 5 charted with 37k and volume 8 with 31k.

Granted, since Volume 10 charted HIGHER than 8 ranking wise shows that the general treshold has dropped significantly, so it's not like Nue's the only series in this position, but still, I hope they announce the adaptation soon enough...

There are a few saving graces besides the anime though: Volume 13 not being in a super large batch of volymes for a change (I don't actually know HOW much that will affect sales to be honest, but it is something) and, most importantly, the almost GUARANTEED popularity poll that will come with the 3rd anniversary.

Past 3rd Anniversaries:
Undead Unluck - Popularity Poll
Yozakura - Popularity Poll
Akane Banashi - Popularity Poll
Sakamoto - Contest
Blue Box - Contest
Mashle - Popularity Poll
Elusive Samurai - ... a rice bowl lottery (it got a poll for the 2nd and 4th anniversary)
Roboco - Popularity Poll
Witch Watch - Contest

And all the series that had contests already got polls for their 2nd anniversaries.

Therefore, Nue HAS to be getting a poll soon. If not, editorial has to be dismantled. But I AM very confident that it will get it.

Well, vol 5 was when the Nue was still pulling nearly 30k in a month:

Nue's Exorcist #5 (29.738)

While vol 8 was exactly the volume that had that pretty weird drop from 30k to 24k

Nue's Exorcist #8 (24.668)

I'm terrible at explaining this lol

Pick Boruto #5 on 65th

You subtract the placement number with 100: 65 - 100 = 35

Pick the number of copies at the bottom of the top 500 ranking in question: http://shosekiranking.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-5537.html

30位170850/50位130500/100位87200/200位54600/300位39800/400位31650/500位27300

Since the volume is at 65th, you pick the value from 50th (130.500) and subtract with the value of 100th (87.200): 130.500 - 87.200 = 43.300

Divide 43.300 with 50: 43.300 ÷ 50 = 866

Now multiply 866 with that number from the placement you got at first: 866 x 35 = 30.310

Now you add 30.310 to the value from the 100th: 30.310 + 87.200 = 117.510 Copies Sold

30位170850/50位130500/100位87200/200位54600/300位39800/400位31650/500位27300

Very important details:

-If a series its between 30th to 50th place, the placement subtraction is -50 not -100, for example, if the volume is on 40th, you will subtract 40 - 50 not 40 -100, from 50th place is subtracted by 100

-If a series it's between 30th to 50th place, the divide part explained above it's not divided by 100 but 20, if the series is placed between 50th to 100th, it's divided by 50, and from 100th to 500th its all divided by 100

These are very important to keep in mind because they directly influence the final number of copies, so a mistake will give you the wrong estimation.

With the explanation seems like a super confusing thing but i'm so used to it i do in seconds :grin
