lol, they really like their scalpers....

Oh yeah! But people put all their info on the internet by themselves anyway... And they can buy the digital Jump by already giving their name, address and others (credit card info too). People already have their data collected, it's the way of doing it and how it is handled that is important...

One Jump mag/person/store. The cashier scans the ID of the buyer. People can buy up to 3/person in total, one in 3 different stores. Even if the buyer goes to another store after that, he can't buy more. Of course, they can ask their friend or whatever to go to the store too, but they won't be...

To come back to the scalpers situation, it would be interesting to track if paper Jump sells more or less after that, because I see numerous posts of Japanese people saying they were buyers of paper Jump, like, every week for 20 or 30 years, but they won't buy it from now anymore because they...

No problem, we all have different opinions. BTW, there are some BLs in all male (by tradition) mags now. Like "10 dance"? It's in Young Jump or Young Mag, I don't remember. There are some ovnis likes these. So, they'll come to WSJ and WSM someday, maybe. I heard no enraged outcries from the...

Fujoshi/fudanshi's fantasies are very welcomed. lol And I agree for the percentage of gay people in a classroom. I would welcome a gay Jump hero without problem, but BL is very specific and I don't think it fits Jump editorial line. I understand what you're saying. But I think Jump has its...

Because Jump is a shonen mag. There are sports series, even Detective ones in Jump, but not BL. I'm not against it. I'm just wondering why BL should fit in a mag that's aimed at young males. Because a lot of the readers are now females? That's just a genuine question. It's like asking fluffy...

There are already TONS of BL manga elsewhere. Why do you want them in Jump? Why jump specifically? What's the point?

Just to say that, after Kadokawa was dissed on for infringing the rights of their freelancers and Kodansha was burnt to ashes (PRtly speaking) for a lot of reasons that happened with the author of Hataraku Saibo, a lot of mangaka wrote on twitter that Hakusensha was really great to work with. A...

Because producers want IPs, but cheap ones, but they want those that have some name value attached to it at the same time? It's like Dandelion and the others. The axed ones. Jump has name value. "Gaijin will buy Jump stuff. Let's sell to gaijin!" type of mindset? There are directives to...

eh... Yes? That's the point. We're not talking about tourists but foreign residents doing (for a lot of them illegal) business on the side. The tourists, they just take some in their luggage, but I personnally don't think they are the earnest scalpers here.

The Japanese media are saying gaijin. Some Japanese twitter accounts (bookshops keepers) are saying "Japanese too". And they get mad if they don't get the cards they want...

But they think they can resell them and make easy money with them, that's why. All the media are saying that the gaijin are making money with them, so it must be true, right? :teehee Don't worry, they'll stop when they see they're doing stupid things... Or maybe they'll continue? Sunk cost...

I would say it's because the Japanese media talked about it aka "bad foreign scalpers making money" and a lot of Japanese people are doing it now (saw a lot of twitter posts saying that a lot of these scalpers are Japanese). AND. The prices of food and utilities in Japan are exploding...

Apparently she did all the calculations by herself. She gathered the all the lists of titles by AI though. You mean they ARE RECYCLING ONESHOTS??? You mean they DON'T HAVE ORIGINAL MATERIAL FOR JUMP ANYMORE??? Nah, that's not the first time they're recycling... Everything is great.
