Mag Talk Bessatsu Shonen Magazine

[Kaiten]

I was wondering, how much did Kyojin has affected the magazine's circulation over the years?

Sales of the May issue rose "about 30%" compared to previous issues. Before the anime, SnK's success had little noticeable effect on circulation.

I was wondering, how much did Kyojin has affected the magazine's circulation over the years?

Also, is it possible that by changing the magazines each time, Arakawa wishes to improve the circulation of different manga magazines and perhaps try to help them catch up to say, Jump's success?

It's all about the benjamins. More likely than not these publishers saw what FMA did for Square Enix, and paid (probably hefty sums) Arakawa to join them. I don't really think she's as altruistic to go to different publishers just to help them screw Shuiesha over. Though judging from interviews and the like, I can imagine Arakawa just likes drawing manga and doesn't really care who she does it for.

I'm quite surprised we haven't even had a single toc here yet, not even the line-up.
Maybe some people are interested so I will post the current line-up and copypaste to the first post of the thread.

Aku no Hana
Arslan Senki
Baby Worldend
Capriccio
Chaos Wizard to Akuma no Shimobe
Coulomb Fille
Daidai wa, Hantoumei ni Nidonesuru
Daisuki Imura-san!
Diabolo no Soup
Doubutsu no Kuni
Flying Witch
Fujimi Lovers
Gekitetsu no Kokuwan - Walpurgisnacht
Gringo 2061
Half & Half
Houkago Sword Club
Ixion Saga
Joshiraku
Macmillian Koukou Joshi Koushiki Yakyuubu
Mujuuryoku Communication
Nemuri no Fuchi
Pochi (ASAKURA Maru)
Sankarea
Seisen Cerberus - Mou Hitori no Eiyuu
Shin Sekai yori
Shingeki no Kyojin
Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou
Shougi no Watanabe-kun
Slime-san to Yuusha Kenkyuubu
Sonna Mirai wa Uso de Aru

There probably are some faults in there, if anyone knows better feel free to add your knowledge It would be much appreciated

So far I really enjoyed every series I picked up from this magazine so I guess I should check out some again. From the synopsis and the availability I will probably pick Doubutsu no Kuni and Half & Half.

So far I really enjoyed every series I picked up from this magazine so I guess I should check out some again. From the synopsis and the availability I will probably pick Doubutsu no Kuni and Half & Half.

I'm shocked at how criminally overlooked Doubutsu no Kuni is both in Japan and the U.S.(and Edited Mangas). Volumes in Japan barely sell over 30,000 copies. I would think Makoto Raiku's Zatch Bell fame would at least bring in some curious onlookers. And while I can't say for sure how it sells in America, I hardly see any blogging or reviewing of new volumes. Maybe it's just me, but I think it is way better than a lot of the currently running shonen.

It did win the Kodansha Manga Award this year, so maybe that will bring it some attention for volume 12.

Sankarea, Aku no Hana, and Shingeki no Kyojin got anime adaptations, so I'm hoping Doubutsu no Kuni is next. I don't think Sankarea or Aku no Hana benefited much from their animes, but Doubutsu no Kuni has an action element in it that I think could better benefit from animation. We all see how well Shingeki no Kyojin is doing with an anime(though it was already a hit before that), so maybe Doubutsu no Kuni can gain some fans too.

Just so you know, I'm Editing Doubutsu no Kuni and we're almost done. We're gonna release the whole series at once. The whole rest of it, we released V1 and V2. It's just taking a while. We just need to get 2 more volumes typset. Then I might finalize everything and just do V12 because it's coming out this week.

That's great but doesn't help much when you don't understand japanese

Awesome, guess I will start reading then. Wasn't sure yet because there isn't a lot of material yet but that sounds promising

And did me and Matt just made you reveal something you planned to hide until the release?

I do not speak either but mangaupdate database works with japanese titles too.

It looks like Owari Monogatari (new Monogatari series) going to release on October Issue, before releasing as a volume. Also, this is a light novel, not a manga.

It is confirmed that Sugii Hikaru (a light novelist; author of Kamisama no Memo-chou) going to write a story for upcoming new series (drawn by Shinya Nobutaka) which going to start on November Issue. Is it just me or is many light novelist begin to wrote a story for manga?

Baby Worldend is ending next issue.

I'm finding it very hard not to make the obvious pun.
