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

I love HZ as much as the next guy but 2018 is going to be JJBA's year.

!
You what?! This guy tryna start some shit in here.

For reals though, can we finally be excited about a new series with Bozebeats? We havent had a truly exciting new serial since Neverland, so I’m worried. But leakers don’t usually comment on this stuff, yet they’re all saying how good it is. I do hope it is really that good, then I can see Golem Hearts lose it’s head without losing too much of my own along with it?

Golem Heart was average since the one shot.

 

[xAsum0x]

I confirm very good start for Bozebeats.

Generic look but the design isn't that much worse like some have been sayin

[TyVip]

Hopefully Act Age also interesting. Hopefully it will find success like Medaka Box or better than that.

 

[Mammo]

for what it's worth two people in Viz podcast praised Act-Age first chapter

I've created BOZEBEATS thread https://mangahelpers.com/forum/threads/bozebeats-by-ryoji-hirano.3009835/

This looks so dope

I want to understand how the color pages can look so good, but the preview design of the main character looked so bad.

 

[Scruffy8642]

It has been a long time since I've seen any opening colour pages that good. Getting excited!

I want to understand how the color pages can look so good, but the preview design of the main character looked so bad.

The original Boze one-shot had some pretty awesome looking color work put into it and that's something that got me excited for what this author would eventually bring to the table in the future. I don't know what happened with that character preview, but maybe the mangaka still isn't fully used to his new art style or something.

Holy shit those color pages look amazing though.

Let's see how good Bozebeat's position is in terms of survival chances, shall we?
Let's take a look at the number of more unstable slots in the magazine, shall we?

Gintama - Will end this year for sure, that means a guaranteed free extra spot in the magazine, which is huge.
Spring Weapon No. 1 - Very unstable, could finish at any moment, which would free up another spot.
Golem Hearts is already dead to me, so that would be another slot up for the grabs.
Full Drive is also dead to me, so another slot is available.
Cross Account and Shuudan both finished so Bozebeats and Actage will replace them, Actage in theory is another unstable spot until we further know more about it.

If Bozebeats really is good, then it really has good chances of surviving.

Actage in theory is another unstable spot until we further know more about it.

Someone did say on here that on the Shounen Jump podcast they said it was great. Now that's not saying much since they work for Jump but they didn't do that about Golem Hearts ir Fulldrive lol so hoping for the best

 

[cody]

I've been saying this for a while and I'm glad others feel the same way. SHAFT would be amazing.

I think we're pretty safe from Toei since they'll be focused on the other yokai series like Kitaro. Pierrot is still there but even then I think we're safe. I still don't want Madhouse/MAPPA to pick it up. It just feels right in Shaft's hands or in TOHO like someone mentioned.

I'll still take MAPPA or Madhouse over Toei or Pierrot though xD. Hopefully Kitaro is enough to keep us safe from Toei. what makes you think we're safe from Pierrot? Shaft would be nice, TOHO producing it would be amazing as well.

If Actage ends up being good as well, even better. There would still be 4 slots up for the grabs in theory with Spring Weapon, Gintama, Golem Hearts and Full Drive, the author of Bozebeats is getting a huge chance here as a rookie, he really has to capitalize on it and make a good manga.

[SharkBait]

I took the bait just because this isn't your average everyday shitposting, this is advanced shitposting

why are people so persistent that Stone is a battle manga btw?

The science kingdom batlle though...

 

[Ninjaz]

Not sure if this is important or not:

こよこよは編集長に体売ってるから打ち切られません！ (From 5ch)

Not exactly important.

 

[Doughboy]

Drmke wasn't lying, no matter how hard it is not to be you're hyped still cause it's a battle manga. If bozebeats is the future everything going forward Sharkbait says is officially prophecy. Maybe I should check out Stealth Symphony.

HxH is back after ActAge?

 

[ShenGao]

After looking at the korean scans for Kimetsu's 93rd chapter i went back and took a look at every ending for every chapter of the fight. From the start until chapter 92 there have been 8 times where the chapter ends with a character trying to cut off a demon's head, being successful with cutting off a demon's head or destroying a demon's head in some other way.

Spoiler

With chapter 93 it would be 9 times, as Tanjirou is again trying to cut off the brother demon's head.

Also, chapter 93 is once again pretty brutal.
