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

^Which is ironic when they're serializing Detective Conan one of the most popular and well-celebrated manga and anime in Japan which enjoys popularity with adults who read it from the beginning as much as kids reading it now and then right next to it is Syn's latest trainwreck where he frequently tries to push the bar in taste with how skimpy he can draw an outfit on a girl until she's practically naked.

Okay... Seems we have to cancel a couple more rookies for you guys to start venerating veterans.

 

[ChocoBar9]

^What veteran would you like to come back then? Seems like most of them would rather stick to a monthly schedule than go back to weekly though

Only one of the 3 veterans is in a safe position

I mentioned already... Iwamoto.

And all rookies are doomed =)

Just read chapter 9 to 14 of Spring Weapon N1 (not in English). It is still funny.

It reminds me of Sket Dance. Right now all chapters are episodic. It doesn't use lots of Japanese puns. It needs some sale to secure a place in WSJ but I want to read more of it in the future.

 

[Nakura]

Yeah, from what I've read of it, I genuinely find it pretty funny. Of course, it's still not as funny as Saiki, but it does a good job.

I enjoyed Spring Weapon's 1st 3 chapters a lot. I wish it got translated

I wonder how much longer Isobe will last for, I remember people before thinking that Jump maybe hopes Spring Weapon can be a new back of the magazine kind of thing (I feel like those tend to have rather quirky art-styles though).

I'm a big late of the magazine comparison I really wonder how Champion's sales these days compare to the other three, I don't think it was all that far behind Sunday back around 2010 and it still has somewhat of an actual image to it compared to Sunday being a bit of a bland jack of all trades these days. I wonder if it's dropped off slow enough to pull ahead of Sunday.

Have you ever thought that One Piece might never happen if Jump was not as open to newbies as it is? Should I refresh your memories that One Piece is Oda first serialization?
Renovation is always good, a author who had a good series doesn't guarantee another good series right after that. It is not a case for veneration by any means.

Oda is Oda.

Magazine is over 1 million there, the 509k one is the monthly one.

 

[Scruffy8642]

How many Veterens with past success have come back to the magazine for a second success lately? Recently Assassination Classroom in 2012, Toriko in 2008, and Bakuman in the same year... And how many have failed in comparison? That's 3 vs the 10-15+ who have made successful new series in that time, some of which are now carrying the magazine.

 

[Leoat12]

We know that his argument doesn't make sense, so let's just forget it. Don't want to see a recap of the last new series round discussion.

 

[G_I_A]

Remember to check the comment about WCS next big thing in 4th and then... Not so much... =)

 

[Leoat12]

People talk about Jump printing numbers decreasing, but they forget to say that part of the reason is that people are moving to digital release. Jump had how much of decrease? Some thousands? I think it's reasonable to say that it was absorbed by digital sales.

I predicted KnY hitting that 80k mark, now let's hit 100k.

Boichi is doing another weekly series alongside Dr. Stone. Also, the series has a real life scientist consulting for it.

Question in all seriousness: what does this have to do with Dr. Stone being a meh story or not? I don't see where the correlation is just because Boichi is a hard and dedicated worker with two ongoing serializations.
