Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 1

[BBB Banana]

I don't think a rock climbing manga would be suited for Jump... it is very limited in possibilities and that's why Kokou no Hito is more psychological because it adds more to the manga.
But it would be interesting seeing that although I'd have high expetations and would most likely be disapointed

 

[moonueki21]

Well, rock climbing manga could become a good sport since it's unique and novel... however, it could also be a boring sport since there's not much competition on the sport/ Although drama could be plenty.

don't understand why they don'T do a sports series like prince of tennis with sepcial moves or even more like eyeshield21, so that even shounen jump reader likes it. it would better work than these "realistic" works in my opinion.

Bleach is in the bottom 5!?! XDDDDD

 

[saladesu]

*counts repeatedly*

Am I seeing things? Is this TOC incorrect? Typo?

Bleach in bottom 5? I never thought that would happen, ever. Even if I can't say I'm particularly enjoying the series right now, and haven't in quite some time, I thought it still had its loyal fanbase supporting it no matter what. Well, I hope this finally serves as a wake-up call to Kubo that the fans don't want to see new characters and what not, we want a more coherent plot, and shinigami.

As for the rest of the bottom 5, I expect the bottom 3 - Hokenshitsu, Grimm and Sengoku - to be bowing out soon in any order.

Other than that, it's great to see Beelzebub as high as it is I know it's not ranked yet but Ikkyuu's been in the top half of the TOC for the entire 7 (?) weeks its been out, that has to be a good sign.

What is "Saiki ESP" ? A One-Shot or a series ? I never heard that Manga.

It's a one-shot =)

 

[TemplateR]

It's a one-shot =)

Thx and it should be tagged as a "one-shot", because I though it was a new series^^

Is gintama Ranked?

And wow to Bleach

 

[Samui]

Is gintama Ranked?

No, it's not ranked.

From Aohige:

According to T

Hokenshitsu no Shinigami -> End in #29
Sengoku Armors -> End soon (looks like already decided)

In other words, Bleach is, effectively, bottom THREE.

 

[saladesu]

Bottom 3? Whoaaaa that's pretty... I don't even know what word to use here

I wonder what T means when he says that Sengoku is ending soon? I mean, how would he know for sure? Not that I'm surprised or anything but just wondering.

Just noticed that Mago gets color pages 2 weeks in a row

Also, editing Oberon's post to add that Saiki was a one-shot and that Hokenshitsu is over.

 

[Divinenega]

Bleach in the bottom 5?! My prayers have at last been answered. Also helps that Medaka is sitting safe in the middle and Enigma has a color page, meaning the two series whose rankings I really care about are fine this week.

Although it looks like Magico might be going the way of Enigma, ranking really high the first few weeks before sitting somewhere in the middle of the rankings. Guess we'll have to see how the volume sales look before I can make that assumption though.

well, there could have been a note that next chapter is the final chapter....they do that sometimes.

 

[Kubukurin]

Magico is 7th on 14.

 

[come come paradise]

Just posting because there's history in the making and I want to show I was there xD

Nah seriously, I've never been one to care much about Bleach rankings - I like the series but I feel it's gotten plenty enough popularity as it is. But Bottom 5 is still a blow... Never expected that one. It's not like it's in danger or anything, but if it becomes a trend Bleach might become some new kind of Kochi-Kame without a fanbase. Not sure I'd like that.

Well, I've seen the last chapter's raws and it looks like that the final villain appeared. Maybe it's because of that. (just assumption)

 

[tarouch]

nurarihyon is a new saga ??, I think you've inverted the places

I think it's talking about the Anime season 2.... at least, that's what the little note at the end of last chapter said about the special treatment.
