#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.

#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.

Hmm, aren't you guys getting a bit too ahead of yourselves by just seeing a magazine cover? the only thing i'm confused is about the girl having modern & regular school clothes while the mc has typical magician clothes and the series is supposed to be fantasy lol

Feels like y'all were just going to be negative regardless the cover illustration :grin
Listen man, Kento Amamiya would be untouchable if he banked all in on an ecchi series. This doesn't seem like it.

But more than that, the schoolgirl tells me he's doing another modern-fantasy battle shonen when he already made one of the worst ones in Shadow Eliminators. I don't want a Shadow Eliminators 2.0.

Not really. I just critiquing the cover page, it kinda felt like it copy and paste the cover when psyche house debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #24 of 2024.

That alone kinda make me a tad bit skeptical. No offense.

Also considering he made one of the worst debuts in weekly shonen jump in 2023 that still carries weight. So am being reasonable here, I could have been a lot worse.

Hmm, you're not seeing that girl with big breasts behind the mc? i'm banking on her being the one getting a massage/treatment by the mc :grin

I'm pretty sure this will not be anything like Psych House, is a fantasy & magic series and the art will obviously be leagues above lol

lol now i started to think, what if the series is about the mc being isekai'd from the fantasy world to the human world and he starts to work as a chiropractor/massagist using his magic? :grin

That's probably it. I also think it's going to be an ecchi series like his newest oneshot.

Doubt they would do that. Hima-ten having some light fanservice basically banished it to the shadow realm of the magazine with no promotion at all, I'm not expecting anything with an ecchi focus back. Also this looks more like one of these fantasy web novels more focused on a mix of slice of life and a few battles.

Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #10 Cover: Kaigeki no Kinato



Yeah, Amemiya Kento ain't escaping the "Midoriya" allegations :XD
What is this doing in jump bruh

I have read plenty of the trash isekai/fantasy of the past decade and this just fits in.

We still haven't read the chapter so I can't be too sure but I would bet that this is gonna suck.


Modulo color pages are amazing as always.

To me, it looks like it's going to compete with Nue than Himaten.

School uniform and generic magic circles? The isekai fear is back once again

People going way too hard on a cover that's just kind of average 😪
I have enough experience in Light Novel titles and JAV to understand that you CAN judge a book by its cover!

The dynamic between both dudes was terrible, forced and it felt like made by someone who never read or watched works like this, I bet he never watched Free!
It being forced isn't even an issue lol, Tougen Anki and Tokyo Aliens both exist and are extremely popular with fujos despite the dynamics in there being extremely forced (some of the blatant fujobait in Aliens made me laugh, a girl is confessing to the mc but the mc is only thinking of how the black haired senpai should swoop in and save him). There just needs to be an effort, Shadow Eliminators guy just put two generic looking black haired guys together and called it a day. You can tell the Tougen Anki and Tokyo Aliens creators are passionate about their hot men, Amamiya just isn't. To get a fujo base, you either need to try really hard or not try at all (Sakamoto Days and Mashle are popular with fujos after all), you can't be wishy washy.

I swear, if this guy goes from writing a generic exorcist series to a generic isekai series, that'll be the funniest thing ever.

I dont want to be negative, but the cover itself should be interesting, the first thing we look is the cover, if the cover isn’t that good we already start with the wrong foot towards a new series. The magazine cover should draw our attention

not saying this one is bad, is just pretty basic… his last one was way better

And not saying that series with great magazine covers survive… we just saw that with Otr of the Flame

Can you imagine if it's an isekai AND it does well?

Wow, I really don't fit the general consensus here. The only criticism I can agree with is that it is literally the same pose lol

But criticisms:
- Yeah, anybody expecting an ecchi series in modern jump might be holding out for thin hope. It might have fanservice moments like Hima, but it's been 6 years since Miura left Jump and not a serialization attempt yet.
- It seemed like the forum loved JK being LN and Isekai-esque AND it's set in modern day lol. Idk why y'all suddenly are flipped the next round over. Not saying it's like that but I remember that being the assumption before launch since she had a school outfit on and he was...well a demon
- The protag is very natural to me. Obviously the pub itself doesn't but I thought the Under Doctor MC looked a lot younger and like Deku on the cover too.
- Also, yeah, I would say there's a 2% chance this is anything like Psych House. That's a pretty generic pose, I'm sure if you scavenged old Jump covers you'd find something similar.
- I actually think it'll be the girl isekai'd. The other dude looks fantasy style'd and the background has dragons and such.
- I really don't personally get how y'all got hyped from Under Doctor being a dude smiling with a scalpal and this is a dude smiling with a magic circle and y'all hate it lol. Like Shinuki said, it just feels like you guys had low expectations from SE (fair) and were expecting something drastic from a cover alone
- Finally, it's a cover. Did y'all think Someone Hertz was a 100k seller from it's initial cover? Let's wait for at LEAST the LCP
