again colour for magico and sket dance? is a colour page such a boost that is wasted to give one of it to Nurarihyon no Mago? it not like a anticipate it, its just kinda unfair and somehow unlogical. i mean why should they boost one piece, its not like that there isn't someone out there who doesn't know about it.

Well, recent ranking for Nurariyhon isn't very good, so that's why it doesn't get color page. For Magico, maybe its ranking is very good, that's why the editors give another color to it.

Well, for SKET DANCE it's (again) thanks to the anime. For magico it's thanks to the popularity it's got (but did enigma have this much color pages after only 10 chapter?), Nura will get a color page when they think it deserves it As for One Piece...I think it's just great for the fans to have color pages of it since they're always funny and unique. At some point I also think it's quite unfair, but not unlogical.

 

[k-dom]

They need color pages for one piece to sell the color walk... Plus i'm afraid Oda makes some of the best color spread of jump but that is a matter of taste

Last year Mago had 12 or 13 color pages and 3 or 4 covers.

and last year they were hyping it up for the anime, I could be over generalizing though. Has it gotten any colour pages in the interim time between season 1 and the upcoming season 2?

Also would it be too hopeful to believe that they'll give mago colour pages since season 2 is about to start running again?

IMO, the editors view color pages as an award. If a new series does well, BAM, a crapload of color pages (Magico and Enigma). If a series gets an Anime, BAM, even more color pages (Sket Dance).

I don't see like an award. IMO, it's more like business.
"Oh, this serie is doing pretty good in rankings, so let's put it in a spot where everyone who didn't read yet will see it. That way, the serie gets a lot more popular and will be a great source of money."

The same works with animes.

Enigma had 4 color pages by chapter 11. Magico has accomplished this by chapter 10.

 

[Kaiten]

Mago was polling better last year. Getting an anime didn't hurt either.

Magico is getting color because it has been polling relatively well earlier on. Putting it in the middle of the magazine is a nice bump to buoy early success.

 

[Asarii]

SKET DANCE doesn't have as many covers as the others so I'm glad it's having a colour page regardless of the anime. It never hurts to promote a series that deserves it.

I read Godland's Company a while ago and found it enjoyable. The humor was a nice touch, and the characters were well-established for a one-shot. Hopefully it'll get a good reception from the readers! I've been waiting for Iwashiro-sensei's new work for a while.

from Sasaki's twitter:

Cover of issue #23

 

[Googlez_kun]

This face looks kinda odd on the cover,but the art should be great judging from the one-shot(even though it still reminds me of Naruto>_>)
I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Teeba]

Aww, I remember this oneshot! I thought it was really cute. I'm looking forward to reading it!

And while the art does remind me of present-Naruto, I think the story will be different. This is more focused on puns and, well, it would be really odd if it had a genre shift into a fighting manga. =/

 

[StrangerAtaru]

(joking) OK, who decided to give Naruto and Piccolo their own manga? (end joke)

We'll see considering how full the magazine is. Obviously with as many successful series in it now, it does feel really top heavy (even with some of the more successful bottom dwellers that are trying to hang on like Shinigami and Medaka and Mago) so it will be interesting to see how things play out the next couple months.

When new series released, it usually writes "New Series Part 1" or something similar on cover. But Ikkyuu's cover didn't say about being part 1 of new series line-up. Is that means there only one new series?

Considering what strangerataru said, it would at least make sense. The magazine does seem rather full doesn't it? The only series I can see ending would technically have to be the new series coming in, enigma seems to have established itself, magico is looking good so far and it doesn't look like sengoku armors is doing bad either, dois sol seems to be the next one to go since it's the only relative new thing to be ranking poorly right now.

 

[Finestela]

Enigma had 4 color pages by chapter 11. Magico has accomplished this by chapter 10.

1 chapter earlier isn't that big of a deal... As much as I like the development so far, I'm still worried >_<"

*laugh* just like what everybody had said, the art really reminds me of Naruto.
When the preview was loading, i thought: "Oh hey, why does Naruto look weird this week?" then "hmm... hey why there is a smaller Naruto besides the weird-looking one??"

 

[Jaymie]

I love how Naruto doesn't look out of place at all on the cover.
