Wonder how many of them will end up failing though.

Love the enthusiasm

Love the enthusiasm

I'm just being realistic.
I personally think Shiibashi's new series will be one of the early cancellations. It just feels like it's way to soon for him to come up with a new good series able to last.
The romance and soccer series probably won't last long either in my opinion.
Stealth Symphony though I feel has a pretty decent chance at surviving based on the talent involved.

To be honest, I was kind of thinking the same thing. I'm not sure how a manga about a pawn shop would perform in the fast-paced environment of WSJ, not to mention how soon he's returned, which actually copies Kizuku Watanabe's period of inactivity exactly going from Grimm to Edison, fast forward one year. Also, just because a more competent mangaka has returned doesn't necessarily mean their new serial will be just a great as their last. Case and point: Yoshiyuki Nishi, from Muhyo and Roji's to Hachi. I really hope Shiibashi is well prepared.

If the history of romcom and soccer manga are any indication, I'd say the same thing too.

I wish I could get a background of Stealth Symphony, but there isn't much presence of the manga online.

 

[Netorare]

I'm excited for Stealth Symphony & the football manga

Your comparison is a bit inadequate, Kizuku Watanabe never had a popular manga and Shiibashi had much more success with Nuramago that Yoshiyuki with Muhyo, not to mention that Yoshiyuki already had a failure before Hachi

Shokugeki no Soma : 6 volumes : 2.400.000

 

[SharkBait]

Surprised at the doubt for stealth symphony, its seems the most promising on talent alone. The one from the nura writer, hopefully they can tell a story that wont lose steam once it gets going unlike nura did.

Issue #11 Info

Nisekois second colour since the anime has started, how many more in this period I wonder.

Koi no Cupid

================================================

These are the list of authors for upcoming new series.

- Illegal Rare by Shiibashi Hiroshi (author of Nurarihyon no Mago)
- Ai Shoujo by Takayama Toshinori
- Stealth Symphony by Narita Ryougo (author of Durarara!!) and Amano Youichi (author of Akaboshi)
- Soccer manga by Shimoyama Kento and Date Tsunehiro

Excited to see the new series by Shiibashi Hiroshi. People might say that it is too early, but it can be a good idea and good ideas don't choose time to appear, we have to wait to say if it will be cancelled early or not.
Actually, IIRC they said that Shiibashi Hiroshi was working in a new project already past year when NuraMago is still on going. I don't know if it was true or not, but I remember something like that.
Besides Illegal Rare, I want to see Stealth Symphony, since it is the series with more hype, apparently.

Hiroshi shiibashi and Yoichi amano back!!I'm so happy for this

Koi no cupid(END)

 

[Divinenega]

So did Cupid finish this week or not?

 

[Pietro]

On 2ch they say that the author in this number made his greetings

Oh no, I'm strictly not comparing Shiibashi with Watanabe at all in terms of performance. It's just that there have been many authors who rush to get second serials, only to blow it up entirely. Granted, they've all been incompetent, so it'd be interesting to see how Shiibashi does.

I will admit Muhyo isn't a perfect comparison, but it's the best I could find. And anyways, it already outlived Psyren while still avoiding an anime adaptation, so I wouldn't say it's too incomparable. Also, whether an author's 2nd, 3rd or Xth series fails wasn't my point. It can happen over a long period of time is what I'm saying, even if the author had prestige.

 

[Asgaroth]

I think all those series look promising with many "famous" creators. guess 1 or 2 of them could stick around which would make any competition harder from then on.

 

[neozero]

For Takayama Toshinori, I think it is most likely the serialization of this work (from Jump Next 2013 Spring Issue):

Oneshot Here (translation Thai)

JumpLive

[Kaizou 10]

I found this pretty interesting.

From Jump Live, they did the small program called Jigoku no Misawa no Manga Gyoukai no Koto Imaichi Mada Wakanain Desukedo. This program is basically about Jigoku no Misawa (author of Kakko Kawaii Sengen! (from Jump SQ.)) ask question to the Shounen Jump editor and Jump SQ. editors about the manga industry which Misawa still don't know about.

For its first episode, Misawa actually asked the question to the editors about the Shingeki no Kyojin incident which happened in Shounen Jump. I'm kind of surprised that the author has guts to ask this kind of question to the editors. Also, this part is actually released in online.

 

[vinceled]

Nice video, that part with the drawing really made me laugh "Bring me Jump, not manga". I guess this could be interpreted as authors wanted to get serialized in Shueisha having to bring manuscript about very particular things at the expense of disregarding what they like and instead bring something that respect the standards and can maybe be popular. While I think it's sad, it's pretty understandable, after all manga is a business and editors want to publish something that will sell. That might also explain why manga with the label "Jump Comics" usually have higher tank sales compared to manga by Kodansha or Shogakukan.

 

[Kaiten]

It's kind of exciting to see Narita serialize a manga. I wonder if this means Gatou will be next

Going from Yasuda to Amano is a pretty steep drop in artistic quality. Character design is almost guaranteed to be bland in comparison to Drrr. I suppose Yasuda is busy with his own, very good, long running shounen manga.

 

[Galactic Tomahawk]

I actually really like Amano's art so can't wait to see how this turns out.

Pretty hyped.

 

[xi0]

Yeah, I agree honestly. Amano's art was always his strongest selling-point (well, maybe his only one, tbh).

 

[Korean Kuroko]

Hm? He's the main selling point for me, honestly...

Yeah well the thing is I LIKE his stories but I also HATE them at the same time. This is strictly my opinion but the work I read from him( especifically Durarara!!! and Baccano) leave to feel he writes this way: The characters are so twisted that it becomes endearing. A guy that fell in love with his attempted murderer, twins that practice a demented form of incest, etc. Still that's his novel work so I wont hold it against him.

Also I am Super excited for the return of Toriko. Gourmet World here we go!!!
