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

[Negative Syndicate]

I'm not worried about Magico (yet) because it had gotten color on last issue. If Magico was doing bad, then there was no reason for the editors to give color to Magico.

Interesting week with KochiKame taking the cover and a reasonable top this time around. Enigma not making the bottom five is pretty good, Bleach being closer to death with the newer series protecting it is too. (though generally when a series gets to that point, it takes a while to really bottom out considering there are always going to be new series that bomb...Bleach won't end tomorrow but it could wear thin the longer it stays down there)

 

[kewl0210]

Yeah, don't worry about magico just because it had one low ranking. Only worry if it happens a lot consecutively. Toriko was in the bottom 5 a few times in its earlier chapters, too. So were a bunch of other ones.

Toriko's still in the top 3, even if it's not being Naruto this week. Or One Piece, which it has a couple times.
Good to see Enigma is hanging around in the "cult position", getting high enough to not get canceled at least.
And Bleach 2.0 isn't still failing. It kinda makes me wonder if maybe Kubo will end up making this arc really short and go back to more Shinigami-related stuff. Seeing as it's pretty clear it's not doing well.

Also, I find it kinda weird that HXH is coming back AND it has an anime announcement but it STILL doesn't get the cover. You'd think it would, given the explosion of promotion it's having. Well, maybe it will soon.

Ikkyuu, I am disappoint

It had potential, shame that it has been in the bottom five for two of the last three weeks. Hopefully St&rs will not share it's fate. I'll be really upset if St&rs is canceled early.

The ones ranked are the Don't Cross the Bridge/Mirror arcs which are not really that interesting so I'm not surprised that it's on the bottom now. Hopefully (crossing my fingers), it could get out of there during the Tengu arc.

don't think that it will improve. the only good one was chapter 1 so far. the conclusion was not so witty in my opinion. also the "arc" before mit the mirror took to long, something it could have done in 1 chapter. sometimes it seems that oneshots can't be series and ikkyuu is such a case.

st&rs is okay, don't know what he will do after the academy arc. fighting aganst aliens?

i find mirror world quite interesting, yeah it's ecchi but the mirror sharing if fun so far. not sure how long the mangaka will keep up with interesting ideas and plots, because it's seems very limited to me.

I doubt St&rs going to have fighting against aliens. I think it is mostly about their study in the space school.

 

[tarouch]

I'm so sad for Magico but all manga has been through this situation (Bleach also) so I don't worry about it

P.S : No One has the Cover ?

 

[7sun]

Ahh the comedy manga are one behind the other haha.
Is Toriko comedy too?
Sket Dance is number 5 this week, thats great.
And Enigma is out of bottom 5 I'm really happy with that.
I think magico is better next week.

 

[mrDovydas]

I'm glad to see Sket in the top 5 again this week. Enigma and Nurarihyon are out of bottom 5 and that's great too. I'm kind of glad to see Medaka Box in the bottom, because I don't really like this series. I don't read Reborn, so it's position doesn't matter to me. Bleach being low is kinda fun, I like it's position, because the last chapters were kinda lame and boring, but it should get up, because the last chapter was amazing. Magico had turned into a typical stupid battle manga, I don't like it anymore. And I've never understood Ikkyuu, so I won't be sad if it gets canceled.

 

[TheOddOne]

i think Bleach had a good twist , it should be higher this week , this way the japanese , are saiyng Get the fuck out Bleach , whatever you do it wont be enough ...

 

[Asgaroth]

i liked the recent chapter of bleach. nice plot twist, currently not sure whats really going on. after 20-30 chapters of setting it up, nothing unexpected to occur. witht he fights going on it should rise above the bottom five.

Magico will be getting vomic on next month.

It looks like there is a rumor that one of series from Shueisha's weekly magazine will be moved to Jump SQ; I don't think one of series from seinen magazine will be move to shonen magazine, so I think Shueisha's weekly magazine will be Shonen Jump. People are saying that Bleach, Reborn, and Nurarihyon are strong candidate for moving to Jump SQ.

 

[Divinenega]

My money;s on Nura. Reborn may not be as solid as it used to be but it can still crawl to the top half of the ToC at times, and as much as I;d welcome Bleach getting the boot to SQ, its fall is a bit too soon for that. So that leaves Nura which still sells, but has been raking poorly. Well I suppose I mught miss the weekly instalments, but a monthly read might actually make me feel a bit happier when I read it since there;s a wait.

 

[Jaymie]

What it should be: Hunter x Hunter

What it will probably end up being: Nura or possibly even Bleach

 

[Asarii]

Happy to see Sket Dance taking fifth place even though at a glance it seems to be in the middle position. I'm not expecting Mago to have high rankings in a while so I'll take what I get with this one; thank goodness it's staying afloat. It's amusing how KHR yo-yos from time to time.

I'm actually surprised that Bleach, Magico and (to an extent) Enigma are crashing this hard- most of my surprise is directed at Bleach though.

 

[TemplateR]

Bleach in Jump SQ ? I don´t think, that it will be moving there. Because of the fact, that a weekly-Version of Bleach is much more better as a monthly-version.
Also the fact, that "Bleach" is one of the most famous franchise besides One Piece and Naruto. And the fact, that the mangaka has not many hiatus-status or illnes.

Reborn or Nurarihyon ? Can be, but I also don´t think so, that they are moving to Jump SQ.

My Money is on Hunter X Hunter or better say, Hitaus X Hiatus

 

[ick]

It seems strange to announce the return of HxH on WSJ and then moving it on the SQ.
I think it'll be Nura (if the rumor is true, clearly), always semmed to me a "Square manga".

That's a pretty good point. Why not just have it return to SQ in the first place?

Moving Bleach doesn't really make sense from an editorial standpoint. There's a chance that it may improve the quality of the series, but moving it now only looks like Bleach is on life support and they'd rather movie it to SQ for the sake of keeping it alive than ending it. Maybe they would do something like that, but it's not like the series isn't popular anymore. This is a mixed reaction to one arc.

As far as Mago, Reborn, etc. if the rumor is true, it's reasonable to assume it could be any of the series in the magazine, save for a few obvious ones like OP, Naruto and Toriko. Gintama makes more sense as a weekly series. Maybe Shueisha realized after Mago got an anime that it's audience would be found better in SQ? Maybe they feel that way about Medaka Box? It is something to ponder.

Erm... Actually, I can totally see Liar Game moving to SQ... :P
