I wonder when MHA will get a new editor. It's the same since 2014. Usually the change happens every 3 years.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Actage chapter 1 was so...different. Can't see how it can become a ''movie Shokugeki version''.

BTW, question after finishing the chapter:

Spoiler

Did director cut with the agency after rejecting MC again?

 

[De La Croissant]

I'm asking this as a general question, is it typically a bad thing when an editor changes? I feel like you guys would know more since you've been following these things for a longer time.

That depends. In the case of Dragon Ball, made the series change from success to big hit. In the case of Souma, made the series fall.

I may have enjoyed Act Age more than Bozebeats. Both having good starts

From what I recall from an interview a while back, Tabata's editor pretty much wrote the story for him. Or at least had a major hand in the story.

I believe Tabata said that he "fleshed out" his ideas for him. He was definitely a major force in the manga.

Bozebeats two was hilarious and awesome, also the cute filter going on in the final page, nice. Also Tamaki acting like a dog at moments...reminds me of early Super Lovers.

Awesome mix of exorcism and machinery/guns cool concept that is working swimmingly well. I cant wait to preorder volume one here someday.

According to the editor in the double interview, the foundations of the manga are from Tabata, and he said that the editor gave him a hand to organize everything better.

Actage (art), Neverland (art), Kimetsu, Bozebeats,

Spoiler

Haikyuu

. Is this the highest concentration of female creators in Jump? I know that there have been female creators, such as Amano or Hoshino or Kawashita, before; but is this the first there are this many at the same time? It's cool.

Wait, Kimetsu author is a woman? What? I didn't know about this.

And the same is true for Actage, Haikyuu and Bozebeats lol

 

[SharkBait]

Quite sure they are joking about Haikyuu!! as there are lots of images and videos of him

 

[nonowa]

I have to admit that Bozebeats and Haikyuu artists being women is mostly detective work from 5ch and Japanese fans; but Kimetsu's Gotouge had a public appearance at Jump Festa once and Act-Age's never hid her gender.

Only of their hands.

I mean the 12 minute mark, in the studio.

That's not Furuudate, either. Furuudate's name is 古舘春一.

 

[ruggia]

Bozebeats mangaka is a guy based on his tweets.

 

[TyVip]

The artist for Act Age is the youngest mangaka right now in Jump. She's 20 years old o.O

Boze still interesting and I like Act Age.

 

[savethecat]

I liked the first chapter of Act Age a lot.

 

[Halloween]

So, is this award a big deal?
