Mag Talk Jump X (Shueisha)

[vinceled]

Actually, I think these "low" numbers for magazine circulation don't really have to do with popularity. To complete Bigivelfhq's post, I'd add that compared to all magazines by Shueisha, Jump X is the one that has the best quality as far as printing goes. It's pretty hard to tell as far as public raws are concerned but the printing quality is actually better than the printing quality of most tankoubons in Japan. Sunday GX is the same too, it has a fixed circulation of 19,000 units that almost never changes and has series that sell more than 100,000 units each time a volume gets out. I think this is most likely a choice since most Japanese people consume manga in tanks anyway...

Cover of July issue

November issue (10/10) will be the last.

I wonder to where will they move some of these series, 87 Clockers has been selling more and more lately.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

I'm not really surprise, the magazine never was a "success" and get even worse lately, I Just hope that Shaman King Flowers go to Jump Square, or even better, for Young Jump and turn a weekly manga, but i think that is more easy for Ultra Jump since that is where Jumbor is published.

I think this is what they'll do.

　集英社は、月刊青年漫画誌「ジャンプ改（かい）」を2014年10月10日(金）発売の11月号をもって休刊することといたしました。
　2012年4月創刊の「ジャンプ改」（毎月10日発売／2011年6月「週刊ヤングジャンプ」の増刊として刊行後、月刊化）は、従来の青年漫画誌とは一線を画す作家を起用し、新たな可能性を広げる作品を発信してまいりました。
　創刊以来、ヒット作品や読者の熱い支持をいただく作品が数多く生まれましたが、近年の青年漫画を取り巻く環境の変化の中で、休刊という結論に達しました。「ジャンプ改」に息づいた青年漫画の新たな可能性は、「週刊ヤングジャンプ」を中心に、人気作・話題作を輩出し続けている弊社の青年漫画誌グループに引き継ぎ、活かしていく所存です。

　これまでご愛読いただいた読者の皆様、意欲的な作品を発表してくださった漫画家の皆様、多大なご支援を賜りました書店様、関係者の皆様に心より深く感謝申し上げます。
　これからも挑戦し続ける集英社の青年漫画誌にご期待ください。

They're pretty much saying that the new opportunities for the manga that existed in the magazine would be in WYJ.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Soul Catcher(s) and Young Jump annouxning cancellations on the same day. Can't take this stress. Flowers, 87 Clockers, Winner's Circle, La Vie En Doll and others had some good stories left to tell.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

I can't imagine that they'd let 87 clockers and Shaman King Flowers go without a fight, so they're a safe bet to turn up elsewhere (unless either's close to an ending, I haven't read X in a while, most of this is just from like... observed success.)

 

[vinceled]

Well I think most of the series will turn up on YJ web afterwards, La Vie en Doll, I don't know. The series has 6 chapters, which represents the end of Part 1 and it hasn't been in the magazine for 6-7 months already.

 

[Heiji]

and it hasn't been in the magazine for 6-7 months already.

Resume in july.

 

[andysislands]

The one really good part about this news is how much advance notice we have. Normally it's like "last issue is next month, good luck!" We actually have 4 more issues left. For monthly series, that could be enough time for them to finish up their current storyarc and have a volume that could be published. I know that's how it's probably going to line up for Shaman King Flowers.

Shaman King Flowers isn't even close to being done. Winner's Circle and 87 Clockers might be able to find good stopping points. I kinda expect Winner's Circle to take the place of Liar Game next time that goes on hiatus. Flowers will be reborn in another magazine, that's for sure. Hiroyuki Takei's official Twitter actually tweeted about it very shortly after the announcement, so the artists probably had some advance notice on this. (Also, Takei's current editor was previously from Weekly Young Jump if I recall)

 

[andysislands]

In case anyone was wondering... Shaman King Flowers will be on the cover of the final Jump Kai issue releasing next month (10/10).

(There will also be a Shaman King Zero chapter as well.)

Wait, and Shaman King Flowers? Is it really going to end? Wow

Now 87 Clockers is weekly

Flowers ended in the last issue of X. 87Clockers is probably going to be a monthly series, but there's no knowing for sure.

 

[kewl0210]

Man. They're going all over the place. Young Jump, Miracle Jump, Tonari no Young Jump, Ultra Jump, Grand Jump Premium, Jump+, Shosetsu Subaru, Cookie, and Melody. One magazine dispersed into 9 different separate magazines. The whole Jump X family's breaking up. So sad.

 

[TXC]

87 Clockers got into a popular one, that's nice. Anime possibilities increased.

 

[vinceled]

This is pretty unexpected to see that some series will actually move to shojo / Josei magazine

 

[Silverblade]

Not at all? If I recall correctly, from its very launch Jack X was advertised as a mixed demographics magazine.

Yeah, they said that, but nearly everything in there ended up seinen, which is probably why nearly everything went to the actual seinen mags. Come to think of it, I think every single one got something other than Grand Jump. I wonder if they'll keep the XYJC publishing imiprint for the volumes.
