Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Magazine News & Discussion (2014 - 2021)

I assumed Area would be ending soon. Gonna pick up the series when the final volume is released. Time for WSM to bring in the heavy hitters, like the brah from Battlefield No. 5

 

[1223122sdsx]

It is announced at the end of Kamisama no Iuutori' author's new series【zero】(Serialized on manga app)chapter 4 that this series is Mana's before story in Kamisama no Iuutori

Spoiler: spoilers

 

[Leoat12]

Hiro Mashima should advantage of all this ending and end Fairy Tail as well, what about it?

Daigo Tokusou's mangaka isn't a heavy hitter, he's like the opposite of a heavy hitter, a light hitter(?)

they need to bring back Kaitani, they messed up with Muteki no Hito, they should give him another shot

also Nakamuru should be back already, Gamaran ended 4 years ago

do we now where Clamp will serialize HiGH&LOW? I assume it's in this magazine

 

[Inumaru]

I hope they bring back the author of Again!!, her art style is perfect for a sports manga.

Kubo Mitsurou has drawn about 900 pages of storyboards for Yuri!!! on Ice, that would be enough for a five volume long serialization. But I do not expect her to return to manga any time soon. At least not until the inevitable sequel.

I didn't know she was working on Yuri on Ice. Now it makes total sense, Otabek's design really reminds me of some characters from Again!!.

NOOOO. Joking, but after the current arc it should be 2 major left. Hiro said in that recent France interview FT isn't ending but in its climax.

@Mammo that dude who catalogs the ToC, good looks for posting that. He said that WSM's placing is more of an idea of where it stands in the mag since they don't do rankings but he used the "8 week rule" which I didn't get since how can it be an 8 week rule for a magazine that doesn't get ranked for its popularity? Also what are the "reader's impressions" I've seen Hiro and Ohukbo tweet about before? What is it used for?

 

[Mammo]

he's projecting wsj's 8 weeks rule into wsm's ranking, that's all to it

while wsm rankings doesn't reflect popularity, they do have readers surveys, I think every magazine ever have a survey in some form or the other

so they know what's popular or not, jump share that info and other don't

Post #1031: Fairy Taill will not end soon
Post #1032: Fairy Tail is in its final arc.

I see that it is a """"""""""final"""""""""" arc. XD

 

[TyVip]

I think it is really impressive that Fairy Tail has ~25 million copies in print world wide

http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-ne...exhibition-to-be-held-in-tokyo-this-september

56-volume tankobons' total print run in Japan has reached 35 million copies.

Man I just don't know about this news... people are pointing out that ANN mistranslated the end sentence. Plus it just seems so dumb that it would get announced in the middle of Alvarez that this would be the last arc. Doesn't the magazine tell the readers before the last arc starts that'll be the last arc? I rather wait till WSM or Hiro confrims this.

I swear there was an announcement at the start of the arc. Ive been under the assumption this was the last for over a year now (basically since it began). Unless I just assumed all that, but I don't think I would have. It certainly feels like the final arc. Unless I'm crazy.

It was no such thing, this arc did feel like the final arc but it was just no indication or announcement that it is/was besides that feeling. If true I wish they gave us a heads up like how Bleach and Magi did.
