Tbh it is great that AOT never get serialized in WSJ. The monthly pacing did it wonders
Attack on Titan live and dies depending on whoever came up with his 3D Maneuver Gear idea, either Isayama himself or his Shonen Magazine editor.
I thought his original giant killing oneshot was pretty generic without the spider-man shit.

And if it had been serialised in Jump, i think it would have been transferred to their monthly magazine there too.

Plus. Has anyone seen what Isayama's art looked like back then? It was very amateur looking, I don't think it would've lasted a single round.
Hell, even the art in the serialized version was so rough. With the weekly schedule it'd be looking like Gonron Egg real quick.

Now that I think about it, Kill Blue opening probably is based on how high school life looks in the eyes of an adult

amateur art isn't so much of a problem for WSJ newbie, beside, WSJ can always prepare assistant slot if the editor think the art a problem
The editor may have thought the style was straight up just unfit for WSJ, same to Wakui with his early art style

It's not so much the amateur art on its own, it's how he'd be able to handle a weekly schedule with art that was already very rough. I doubt he'd be able to given how Attack on Titan looked for a long time even as a monthly sries.

Now I am imagining an universe where Gonron has a monthly schedule and became big hit lol.

Nah, the story, characterization and dialogue was also a mess. This guy needs a writer or better editor

Idk, if we look at Tanizaki's one-shots, he's capable of some really good art with a strong identity to it. I also believe the story of Gonron Egg did have potential, he just had no idea how to properly tell it given he never had an actual series before alongside the rush of the weekly schedule. I could see Gonron being a much better series in a monthly mag tbh.
Agreed that a better editor would've helped him a lot though. Tanizaki seemed very unprepared.
I mean, I can't imagine how his editor didn't force him to axe the He-Man haircut lol.

As someone who read Gonron weekly, his problem runs so much deeper than just art quality lol. His dialogue and writing are just very dogshit. Not to mention lots and lots of very amateur mistakes that he should not have needed an editor to point it out.

Example is when the villain dies from a vertical slash wound but the panels are showing horizontal slash?? And a lot of the very unnatural and empty dialogues. Tell. Bland characters....

Hilariously i still enjoy it as a quick light 1 minute read weekly. It is like eating cotton candy. No subtance but enjoyable somehow

Gonron was progressing as if the editor gave up on it even before it got serialized

Ichi Cover + Shinobi Color Page & 10 new pages on the forum within 3 hours is my prediction (wish).

We all read Gonron weekly bro. But yes, the problems ran much deeper than art quality and I very clearly mentioned that. However, I think a lot of it came from not being able to handle the weekly schedule. That doesn't just affect your art, it affects your ability to plan, to write. Especially when you're an inexperienced mangaka.
The series was a mess, but I do think Tanizaki has potential, and his one-shots prove that.
I think with a different editor and a better schedule he could do very well with his next serialization, wherever that may be.

I guess the reason of no ToC is related with the One Piece leakers getting in legal trouble last week? There hasn't been an actual summary of the One Piece chapter yesterday

Since there's still time to predict, I'm going to say, if Nue even gets the cover at all (which I say is a 50/50 chance), it's either going to be

- Nue cover but with a regular colour page near the bottom, while Shinobigoto gets the Lead Colour
- or Nue cover and Lead Colour with Shinobigoto taking a break

so that Saito isn't forced to have Nue above Shinobigoto in the ToC.
