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

He said that making romance mangas is easier, if it is not putting something over the other, I don't know what it is.
I'm ending here, it is not worth it. Despite all the hate, Nisekoi got a good run and was successful, "We Never Learn" can do the same.

Question for you guys --As someone who despises the romance genre but does like cute girls, are there manga that have the latter but not the former? Or is it a whole package sorta deal? I like the premise of WNL but I dislike that it's become rom-com, because I just feel nothing for fictional romances. (Manga/anime/live action.)

 

[tirakai]

There's a decent amount of battle shounen with cute girls and little no no romance.

Also the whole cute girl moe slice of life genre where guys pretty much don't even exist in the background.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Yup, seems like the "cute girls doing cute things" genre is what you're looking for. You won't find anything like that in WSJ.

This is not actually the place to ask such question, but I will answer anyway:
- Flying Witch
- Non Non Biyori
- Gendai Majou Shuushoku Jijou
- 三ツ星カラーズ
- ヤマノススメ
- The entire Idolmaster franchise (my avatar is a little taste. XD)

Just naming a few that I'm reading (read) recently.
There is a lot of them, the majority of the manga nowadays have cute girls, no matter the genre. I still think that romance makes use of them the best, but that's your choice.

Funimation's Website Lists Black Clover as 13 Episodes.....,,,????

I'm torn on this. On one hand, Pierriot might actually make BC into a quality anime. On the other hand, BC would also have benefitted from the long-running treatment. I think I lean slightly towards feeling happy. I am surprised that it's not at least 2 cours though.

 

[Avok]

The ideal would be 24, ending with a bang with the best fight in the series so far.

So if the anime adapts around 1.5 to 2 chapters an episode the season would end around chapter 22 right at the beginning of the Clover Kingdom Invasion Arc. Thats actually not a bad place to end a season one at and pick back up on with a season 2 that is considering it really is 13 episodes.

 

[Mammo]

I don't think we should take Funimation episodes count as a fact, they changed Saiki's episodes count multiple times when it aired

 

[shoyoboyo]

There's no way Black Clover will be any less than 2 cours. This is Pierrot and a WSJ manga we're talking about here.

What's the best fight? Water Temple?

 

[vampire killer]

Its for the best really. Long running show are dead. We should get new season every year now.

 

[Avok]

What's the best fight? Water Temple?

The Yami one.

 

[Koi Kage]

What's the best fight? Water Temple?

The Yami vs. Litch fight so the arc right before the water temple arc.

 

[savethecat]

So Funimation is listing Black Clover as being 1-Cour

Edit: sorry I'm late

Didn't Saiki air kind of weird compared to other series though. Like we're some episodes super short

 

[Nakura]

Yeah. It aired a short episode every weekday, and then a full 24min episode was aired on Sundays(I think), which was a compilation of the shorts that were released earlier that week.

Tabata commented on the anime Yami vs. Licht fight. There's no way it's only 13 episodes.

There's some like that in Young Jump and other Jump mags.
There are other magazines made for the kind of stuff (CGCDT) that you're looking for.
Like: https://mangahelpers.com/forum/threads/manga-time-kirara-family-houbunsha.3008904/ (4-koma but also normal format ones)
But if you're looking in WSJ, you're out of luck unfortunately.

 

[razerxs]

13 episodes seems about right to cover what we've seen in the PV: ~21 chapters for dungeon arc plus filler. It'd be the same as MHA's cour.

It's probably just a placeholder though.

Tabata commented on the anime Yami vs. Licht fight. There's no way it's only 13 episodes.

He might just be confident about more seasons. Yami vs Licht is pretty far into the series.
