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

Why is Ichi taking up a bigger spot that WW lol.
Pretty standard to have one of the big series that doesn't have a color page advertised in that corner, almost always One Piece or Sakamoto, I guess Ichi is taking up the mantle with Sakamoto ending.

Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #51 Cover: Jan is in Danger!
Man, the author didn't even try to make the cover look interesting. Last week's promo art was more dynamic than this.

It probably gets better surveys unironically even if they're selling similarly.
If you believe the "8 weeks correction" theory, then Animal Signal's placement is in part from the feedback received during chapters 13-15 (I forgot exactly how you're supposed to count the chapters), when the gay dogs became recurrent characters.

If anything I’m glad that Sakamoto Days has lasted this long. If it wasn’t for this, I would have given up on Jump. This series saved the magazine for me.

Hal needs to add more gay men then.
You can't force fujo/homo bait, as readers will quickly detect your dishonest intentions and run away. That's why Embers and Harukaze Mound flopped despite belonging to the gayest genre in the world and why Animal Signal's TOC placement isn't reflected in its sales.

You can, as evidenced by kagurabachi. Which has the fakest fujo shit I've seen in recent jump. There have been failed series with better attempts.

Terasaka needs to take thr hint already that Fujoshi is the backbone, blood, heart and soul of every sports manga.

He should have taken thr hint from the actual F1 fandom where the yaoi is thriving lol (yes, real life people shipping)

And that's the problem. You either have the fujo audience or you don't, you can't force it. Fujoshit is something you found, not made.
*Pull up the Ponsuka chapter*
Or you have your fanbase push literal industry plant bland ass ships. Which is what the bachi fanbase did. That shit was inorganic af.

What? No I'm not mad, I'm literally referring to the western push to commission fujo art of the series during the initial few volumes. Like there was a concerted effort to artificially create a fujo fanbase lol. Which led to the ships being mediocre, as they were working with the little they had, and not actual quality material, lol.

Mr. Hizuki of the Ginza Backstreet Police Box is described as a Meiji action series!

"A action-packed police story set in the Meiji era! Officer Hizuki is captivated by the new civilization!"


That's a police version of Elusive Samurai (?? 👀 )
Historical Battle Manga 🤔

Btw the Meiji era (1868–1912) is such a great setting for a police story
The rapid westernization gives the police so many cool vintage gadgets to work with (gramophones, old cameras, etc...), plus it opens up tons of possibilities for actual investigative mystery arcs alongside the action

I don't read Kagurabachi, so I can't refute your accusations, but I imagine you at least have evidence to back them up.

western push
There's a big fujo fanbase in japan as well. You are trying too hard to discredit the series success. And inorganic?? You wish your favourite series had a random character with a NON FUJO APPEALED DESIGN like enji that fans latch on to.
