Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2017] - Discussion and TOC Talk

Really hope to see the Poro author come back in a year or 2. I think his art style cool and cute. Poro may not have been very funny, despite being a comedy, but I still enjoyed what I read from it. Not enough for me to care about it getting axed, but I look forward to seeing the creator improve

I honestly think being is cute what got Poro cancelled (im presuming its cancelled, but come on...). The focus was too much on that, he really needs something else in his stories. It a magazine aimed towards boys, and while there are female readers, the boys wont want to read something cute... Toteku was wacky and good fun if a bit cliche. I hope he can eventually find success, but hell probably need another cancelled series before he gets there.

It's already been posted.

MHA is out of the Top 10 TV Animation Ranking this week.
Episode 4 went down by around 0.6% at least from its 3.9% rating last week from Ep. 3.

It'll be nice to finally see a second Kimetsu cover, I wonder if it'll just be Tanjirou and his sister on it or if he'll include other characters as well.

Also a bit late but personally I hope we don't get another yagi tomohiro series, he's had two chances and both of them were terrible with him learning nothing from the first ones failure.

Okay regarding Yagi's previous works. What could've been done to improve the story? Pacing was one of the biggest issues I've had with his work. Second issue being characterization which may be related to the first issue.

Iron Knight and Red Sprite started off with a lot of exposition from characters who got more screen time than the supposed star. Then they would just get killed off to motivate the hero before he's finally stumbling around in chapter 2.

It's bizarre how many of those pages you can just skip altogether.

Do you think is a myth that Jump only gives you 3 series to prove you can be a good mangaka for them, and if you fail the 3 series, you won't get published there anymore? I think it is, because who would lse a potential talent because of that stupid rule?

And also, which are the future volume releases for May in Jump?

I think there is some truth to the myth that being said I think the whole having 3 series fail and not getting published there anymore would depend on how long the series ran for before they got cancelled, if they all got cancelled not to long after the first volume is released then yeah it's likely WSJ won't except future work from them.

It would be a very odd rule. It's not common for an artist to appear three times without some success (a multi-year run). I checked for duplicates in the last 25 years on the wiki and I couldn't spot anyone with three strikes in a row. Plenty of people who've failed twice though.

 

[tirakai]

One thing that makes me wonder is what their standards are for bringing cancelled creators back, most failed creators seem to have a couple years or so before their next serialisation but Ichigo 100% started less than a year after Lilim Kiss ended.

 

[savethecat]

I'd imagine that artist just go to less competitive magazines, like Jump+, on their own decision after so many Jump failures. I mean, idk how payment in jump works, but I'd think that's they'd like to go somewhere they could have a decent run and have a steady pay.

Someone did, Giga is available on every raw site now

I think it's true

I don't think it's "we won't publish you anymore" situation and more like "we will publish you, just not in the main magazine"
