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

[Silverblade]

Haikyuu!! is second. Man, this series is great, I am so happy for Furudate. And Komi. Both of them finally got the recognition they deserved this year. I could say I wish Nisekoi to be something else, but for now I am content with the way things are.

Really, an almost perfect ToC if not for another failure of Horikoshi.

 

[Darjaille]

Wow, what Naruto chapter was that?

I think the fans did not appreciate Itachi leaving this world, again.

 

[MangaPage]

Wow, HQ is second and Naruto is so low... That's some change. Bottom 5 was quite predictable, except... it was Takama's first chapter?! I really don't like it and the first chapter was horrible, but this low... I don't remember ever seeing a series first chap so low in Jump. Kurogane is back at the bottom 5, I guess it still won't survive.

Assassination Classroom went down, but it was obvious it couldn't stay on the top that much. Well, it seems free from cancellation risk . Beelzebub deserves to be higher. My guess for the next series to be cancelled is first Takama and then Koisome. New series now seem either to rank really bad or really good. I'm glad for HQ, AC and Nisekoi, they sure are refreshing series.

I'm curious about the lacrosse manga, I didn't read the oneshot so I have no idea if I will like it or not.

 

[ClangClang]

I personally despise ecchi (no offense for fans out there), so I am okay with sport manga with girls as main characters as long as it's not an ecchi. I know girls as main characters in shonen manga has very low chance of not being an ecchi, but Nisekoi doesn't show any ecchi scenes (even if there's one, it's not explicit like To-Love-Ru for example) even though being a romance manga in shonen magazine. So, it's okay for me to hope for it, right?

Which place Reborn! is ranked this week specifically?

 

[meeedoooz]

I think the fans did not appreciate Itachi leaving this world, again.

it's either 591 with dan and sh*#t or 592 reading the scroll ( had nothing important )

 

[Darjaille]

The first one had Itachi departing, both had Madara being quite epic. So in my opinion it's either because of Itachi, or because people are fed up with Madara (somehow I doubt that, who knows), or people weren't satisfied with some ETs being released before they really did anything, or they don't like Sasuke softing up.

I think it's more because people are still hyped for the new series though. They probably stole many votes from Naruto (and Bleach for that matter, maybe).

 

[meeedoooz]

i hope it doesn't pull a bleach on us and never recover even if the chapters are EPIC ( like 598 )

 

[K H Reborn]

I highly doubt that, Naruto’s recent chapters were really good . It’s just what darj said the new series stole the top ranks I mean its been a while since 3 new series were this popular in jump .

[Zeromcd]

Haikyuu!! received extra pages this week as a thanks for the super popularity.

 

[Jaiden82]

Hooray for Hq. That is a much deserved 2nd place. Yes, Naruto's rank is low just be happy it didn't hit 10th or it ended up in the bottom. First Pajama and now Bulge. New series in Jump aren't lasting all that much these days.

 

[MangaPage]

Wow, what Naruto chapter was that?

It was 591. The one in which all the Edo Tensei leave except Madara. It was quite a nice chapter, so it's a surprise it's so low.

 

[Teeba]

Ohhh, so that explains why there's been a surge of HQ yaoi fanart all over the internet. xD Glad to see it doing well!

I'm happy Assassination Classroom is doing well. Third place for its first ranking, now fifth for its second. I hope it can keep up!

Well, saying that after the succes of new series HQ,Nisekoi, AC and PSI just doesn't sound right to me...

 

[MangaPage]

i hope it doesn't pull a bleach on us and never recover even if the chapters are EPIC ( like 598 )

With Tobi's identity probably being revealed in the next chapter(s), I think the fans will get more excited so for the moment I don't think it will happen.

Pretty interesting TOC, from what I recall this is the first time that much relatively new series are at the top. HQ, Nisekoi and AC are good series which totally deserve a good ranking. Sometimes I really wonder about some series ranks but I totally agree with the japanese Jump readers this time. This trend shall continue

Naruto's ranking is surprising and made me think of Bleach instantly but I doubt it will suffer the same fate - As long as it stays in the single digits everything is okay with me. Seriously, new series ranking that high is an awesome trend. Naruto, One Piece and Toriko don't always being at the top would make everything a lot more interesting.

Hooray for Hq. That is a much deserved 2nd place. Yes, Naruto's rank is low just be happy it didn't hit 10th or it ended up in the bottom. First Pajama and now Bulge. New series in Jump aren't lasting all that much these days.

Depends on what you mean with these days. The last serialization row was rather bad, only Koisome is still hanging in there. The one before was a total hit though: Nisekoi, Hq and PSI are doing exceptionally well. AC seems to be doing well too. Let's see how things will go from here but I'm certainly looking forward to that Lacrosse manga

While that's true for some new series, there have been surprising successes. So like I already said new series seem either to rank very badly or very well.

 

[k-dom]

Using a 8 weeks average TOC rank ( without color page ), Toriko, Naruto, Nisekoi and AssClass are really clos this issue (5, 5, 5.4, 5.6) the next serie after them Psi is quite behind with "only" 7.2

 

[Zeromcd]

I think Naruto's ranking drop will just be a 1 week thing.

Unlike Bleach which was having serious decline in sales, the past 2 volumes of Naruto have been the best and fastest selling in the entire series.
