Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2012] - Discussion and TOC Talk

[k-dom]

According to Kaiten, that's why it is subjective. He has said his preference for a while now
As for my post it is not subjective indeed. I don't speak about quality and one piece sales are greater than Naruto now, Glenat made huge announce about that when it happened. Now if you want to feed the troll and continue a meanless argument be my guest but please do that elsewhere.

As for jump things won't change, the system of the TOC will remain. The magazine may sell less but the trio tankobon will continue to give confortable revenue for a long time. Actually, it will be more interesting for this thread since currently the top of the TOC is rather uninteresting. But we have time to see that coming

Concerning Lacrosse, I think it is a canadian game isn't it ? How confidential is it, does someone know?

Fair enough. I suppose I'm just comparing anything in the magazine to One Piece ending, for which there isn't much of a comparison. Naruto would be the only one even close to it and even then it's almost accepted fact is that it will end before One Piece does. In which case the ending of OP would leave an even larger gap in the magazine.

Toriko is doing good enough work to fill in for either Naruto or Bleach, more so Naruto, in a massive way. Maybe it can catch up to Naruto in an overall view as a super popular long time ongoing jump series. Torko is still "young" when compared to chapters to Naruto though.

The scary thing is when One Piece ends indeed, I can compare it to the Dragon Ball manga ending. Maybe even greater.

It's a game invented by Native Americans and played mostly in the US and Canada. It's actually my state's official team sport and is quite a popular college sport.

Think Field Hockey but the ball is picked up and juggled with the stick instead of slapped around.

Toriko is not that young. It is already in an very advanced stage of the plot. Thanks god, Shima pace is much faster than those 3 and it won't end in a 600 chapters manga.

I imagine people said the same about Dragon Ball... well maybe that's not the best example. I've noticed the pace of arcs in Toriko.

But it's hard to be entirely confident of that being the case.

I dunno why people are so worried about the future of jump. Something replaced DBZ, another will replace One Piece, Naruto or Bleach. Whether its as successful depends on the circumstances such as a decline in readership or increase in readership.

I laughed really hard at what Kaiten posted 2 pages back. I haven't read that much fanboyism in a while. (no offense meant of course)

Not sure if it's worry. But this thread has always been a place to discuss hypotheticals, and 2/3 of the biggest manga in the last decade or two ending and the prospects of such a thing is fun to discuss.

Well it was his opinion of One Piece. I don't see many not singing it's praises so to call it fanboyism is a bit off. If you've read enough series you can appreciate something exceptional when you see it. When I think of fanboys I think of someone not as experienced in the medium singing the praises of something when there's nothing to compare it to *cough*Narutards*cough*

And I'm kidding about the the tard thing, but you see my point.

 

[Asgaroth]

Is the gag manga from the one who did the grim fairy tale one some time ago? the horse guy reminded me a bit of it.

a sports com is in my opinion more interesting as a only sports manga, because of the more opportunity it has in story development through the 2 genres. sometimes it can get really boring to see a tournament for 50+ chapters, so a bit rom/com is well appreciated.

just ignore it as many of us do already...

It's a different person.

I see that Cross Manage's author, Kaito, participated in the Golden Future Cup in 2007 with Anti Love Sentai Hayata Joe (casually, I read recently). He hasn't published anything else? In 5 years? Why? He's a good author, in my opinion.

 

[Lutzinho]

A gag and a sports rom-com doesn't seem to be bad, but I'd rather have Jump add a suspense manga like Enigma or Death Note.

 

[Silverblade]

Cross Manage was a fine slice of life one shot. I would like to see it in Jump, but can't help but wonder if it will fit the demographic here.

I don't speak about quality and one piece sales are greater than Naruto now, Glenat made huge announce about that when it happened.

Really? Great! I kind of missed this. Do you have a link, perhaps?

After all, the only market that can print and sell manga volumes in hundred thousands is France. USA, Germany, Finland and every other manga market deals in tens of thousands at best.

With this, the tired argument of "One Piece might be the most popular manga in Japan, but internationally it isn't" is pretty much officially dead.

 

[Jaiden82]

Still waiting for that thriller/horror manga that lives up to the standards of JUMP.

 

[MattC302]

I'm really excited for the Cross Menage serialization. I enjoyed the one shot immensely, so this will be the firs new Jump series I will start since ST&RS.

Not tempted by assassination classroom ? I'm a bit surprised :-)

...A Lacrosse manga?

A Lacrosse manga? Really? I made a joke a while back that I think Jump is seriously trying to cover all sports in the mag. I mean if they they think that the story is good to add it anyway.

 

[MattC302]

Not tempted by anything new in Jump actually. I've been burned too many times by cancellation. I actually didn't even know Cross Menage was a Jump one shot when I read it.

 

[Crude]

What we need is a rhythm gymnastics manga. Now!

Seriously though, a Lacrosse manga sounds pretty interesting. It'd be awesome if it had the same effect with Lacrosse in Japan that Slam Dunk had with Basketball and that Eyeshield 21 had with American Football.

 

[FrostyMouse]

Lacrosse isn't really even popular in America though. There is a "professional" league, but no one watches or anything.
