So, Viz will only have two Jump Starts... I bet the other one will be a hit! xD

By what we know Lady Justice is too hot for ESJ standards, so it is probably going to follow the following steps.
1) They say that it is too hot for ESJ.
2) It makes success.
3) They start to serialize it contradicting what they said earlier.

It was exactly what happened to Shokugeki no Soma.
Really, they should know that their public is perverted seeing things like Monster Musume making success.

1) They say that it is too hot for ESJ.

What about E-Robot? It got serealized!

 

[CallMeTsuyu]

Spoiler

"The Right Way To Make JUMP" chp 27-29 was included too, because the writer visited america.

That One Piece Tokyo Tower plug, though. Oda, you sly devil, you. It appears I have to pay this theme park a visit now. Your masterful power of marketing through your lively art pieces has absolutely swayed me. It would be remiss on my part not to go now XD

Since when VIZ follows any kind of logic? I'm just trying to predict what they will do based on previous behavior. It is not 100% guaranteed. Honestly, I have no idea why they put Lady Justice aside. Maybe because they have Boku no Hero Academia and Onepunch-man already.

I know, I said that in an ironic sense! xD

Also, I'm interested in that "The Right Way to Make Jump!", too bad it isn't scanlated...

They added E-Robot and Soma after changing their age rating for their magazine from T to T+.
Without a rating change first, it wouldn't have been put into ESJ.

Viz has said they may not do all new Jump serials in the Jump Start initiative.

The right way to make jump in english was pretty good, though artwise silly.

Always odd to see how people visiting america see america (being impressed over how we go all out with breakfest (that moment where the hashbrows were as tall as rocky mountains), or them saying 10$ for manga is "expensive", or that one moment of the panel with the mans head being a hamburger and the farmer lady in the style of that classic american painting, and saying under it the right way to make jump american edition). I was most surprised that there is a Parasyte fandom here when they were looking at manga in a bookstore in a train-station in san fransico and two american teens were browsing the manga and bought Parasyte instead of a Jump manga. Since when was Parasyte popular? Also both shonen jump offices are messy lol.

Just going by 100 yen for a dollar, manga is from around 500 to maybe 800 or so, and that's MSRP.

Out of curiosity, what are the ages represented by T and T+? Depending on the ages, many mangas were already inappropriate since not only sexual content is inappropriate.

Out of curiosity, what are the ages represented by T and T+? Depending on the ages, many mangas were already inappropriate since not only sexual content is inappropriate.

The Marvel Rating System assigns each comic book one of the following ratings:

ALL AGES - Appropriate for all ages.
T - Appropriate for most readers, but parents are advised that they might want to read before or with younger children.
T+ TEENS AND UP - Appropriate for teens 13 and above.
PARENTAL ADVISORY - Appropriate for older teens. Similar to T+, but featuring more mature themes and/or more graphic imagery. Recommended for teen and adult readers.
MAX: EXPLICIT CONTENT - 18+ years old Most Mature Readers books will fall under the MAX Comics banner, (created specifically for mature content titles) MAX and Mature-themed titles will continue to be designed to appear distinct from mainline Marvel titles, with the "MAX: Explicit Content" label very prominently displayed on the cover. MAX titles will not be sold on the newsstand, and they will not be sold to younger readers.

There. I'm assuming it's similar to that.

It's really hard to say. I'd say T is around 13, but T+ is around 15/16.

They let violence and gore slide sometimes though.

This is how VIZ at least used to arrange their ratings. They put it on the back on the volume. T+ was generally shuffled to the Shonen Jump ADVANCED label (except I think Rurouni Kenshin). T for Teens, T+ for Older Teens.

Though they could have adopted Marvel's standards, but my JoJo volume 1 says "T+ for Older Teens," so it might be safe to assume the same rating applies for the magazine.

As a subscriber, I can live with them not including Lady Justice in the Jump Start. It didn't interest me in the slightest.....

I didnt think it would have any appeal to the readers of Jump here in America.

Same here. Based on the one-shot, it was clearly unabashed fanservice with what I assume to be no sort of plot to truly speak of. I'm not really sure since I can't read kanji or any of the like, but a top heavy female trying to hide her [enter expletive here] because some idiotic pervert snagged her undergarments isn't necessarily something I would consider even at the base of literary competency. I have nothing against ecchi, by any means. Just not when it's the selling point of a series.

Out of curiosity, did you read the series?
Don't give me the excuse that you read the oneshot. Hungry Joker breaks your argument.

I'm not defending Lady of Justice since I haven't read the series either; I'm defeding reasonable arguments to say it.

Is your motto "the stranger, the merrier"?
Have you read the manga about a cute cockroach? I bet you had.

Well, I like to read strange series sometimes...
