Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2018] - Discussion and TOC Talk

The Promised Neverland : In World (paper + digital) : 5 000 000.

This is quite good. Most probably this includes Volume 9 as well but its great growth for the series. They put it on noitamina which is much more "mainstream" than your normal Tokyo MX and BS11 so they're going for that mainstream audience, as mainstream as possible anyway. However, noitamina series in general haven't been known to boost manga sales. Erased is about the only series that comes to mind. Even Silver Spoon barely got any boost as with the current Wotakoi. I think it'll get a big boost but it remains to be seen.

My Hero Academia Séries : 15 000 000.

The official twitter account said this was the "comic series total" so I don't know if the LNs are included but with this, its finally overtaken Soma, and lined up with OPM. This is still quite an increase as it was at 13 million back at Volume 17. I'd say this also includes Volume 19 in it but we'll see in July.

kimi wo shinryakuseyo feels like a saiki k replacement.

cant see this as a mainstream hit that breaks the 150K barrier.

In some ways it feels like that, but in other ways, it feels a bit different. I just looked through the 2nd chapter raws, and it can get more more lewd that I would've initially expected. It's not as funny as Saiki so far, but I still get some good laughs out of it. Part of what made Saiki so good was its recurring characters, so I hope Invade You gets some good side characters. I wasn't expecting them to introduce a dog in the second chapter, but it was really cute and funny.

Apparently the next chapter of MHA will be a huge turning point in the series

 

[Nemesis]

Unsurprisingly, another solid chapter. I wonder how many of these Jump Giga special chapters we are going to end up getting. Do the 4-koma strips at the end of each issue form a coherent story, or are they basically just small gags/jokes?

Yup, it's just small jokes.

Newbies review:

Invade You 2

Spoiler

Humor chapter about MC dog which is an alien which breaths fire and doe alien stuff. Girl a cute, and lewd panel with tentacle rape (dog's tongue to girl)

Momiji no Kisetsu 3 (still have to read Viz version)

Spoiler

New character introduced which seems has a crush to female MC. He and male MC are nervous about tournament, but later you see new character showing he's a genious beating with no effort another guy

Jujutsu Kaisen 12

Spoiler

MC is recovered, black-haired MC apologizes to the woman who was mother of one of dead guys from chapter 6, two villains killing easily people in a restaurant, mask guy looks is teaching something to MC

Ziga 10

Spoiler

Pteradonon transports Ziga to another place. Then in that place (floating stones?), a new character appears, who is in fact Pteradonon human form. He does some sort of friendly Talk no Jutsu, and MC looks beaten (apparently, there are 45 more people like them)

.

For the moment Jujutsu and Noah's Notes don't show any sign that could signal to possible axe. Same for Act-tage. Ziga in other hand is showing clear axe features.

The tweet is talking about chapter 184, the one that was leaked last week.

Act-age volume 3 has been scheduled for August 3rd. The official website hasn't updated this yet but its possible the series might be ending in the coming weeks as its releasing 2 volumes consecutively, in July and August.

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Uh oh... two consecutive months, that ain’t a good signal

GnS doesn't sell 800k per volume? I thought it was because of the adaptation. It seems that having "Hiromu Arakawa" on the cover is enough. XD

Silver spoon was huge before the anime. The anime started in Summer 2013. This was how it was doing up to that:

I was actually wrong about it barely getting a boost as it actually did get a boost, making it the second noitamina series to do so. It had its second season in Winter 2014.

However, most of its growth was from the various awards it got before the anime, especially the Manga Taisho back in 2012.

LOL.
Sorry but that 180 from happy to disappointment was funny as fuck. XD

 

[savethecat]

With Ziga and Act-Age looking like they’re about to be axed, fingers crossed for Ole Golazo, and/or Ultra Battle Satellite Guys to return

 

[De La Croissant]

Don't worry, the sequel, JAV-Age, starts in October, in the Business Jump.

Noah's Notes will survive. Right?

Sounds like good news for us Jujutsu fans. !

I am going to remain optimistic about both of these. That volume release doesn't look very good, but I'm just going to choose to blindly believe that it'll hit at least 4 volumes. Hopefully it'll still have that Ziga cushion, and Lycopene is already leaving, so there's a bit of leeway in the TOC right now, correct?

I'm surprised that no one did it for a seinen magazine. Not that I know because I would read it lol
