Spring Weapon No.01 #6

Full Drive #2-3

The sad part is, I clicked on the link that @OfficialHxH posted above and I completely forgot what Full Drive even was, I was thinking: "Was this a Jump+ manga? It seems familiar to me, well, whatever."

Oh, I noticed they're using the red color for the font for Dr. Stone(which they did use for the initial promotion and color pages), this is something they really should've done from the start. You can also finally see the logo properly, it's like they were trying to make the name harder to read before.

And the cover of My Hero ?

 

[Ninjaz]

And the cover of My Hero ?

My Hero Academia, The Promised Neverland and Yuragi's covers will be dropping within the next couple days at worst. They don't always post all at once.

Jump knows that's what we wanna see the most smh

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Are we getting also Act-tage volume 1 cover, or still too soon?

PD: Today is Monday ergo today Noah's Notes chapter 3 by Viz. Hopefully, someone scanlates it after that. Hopefully, Viz picks Noah's Notes.

Isnt it like WAY too soon?

 

[ElJin]

Full Drive's covers are amazing, I wasn't expecting.

I'd say these subway ads are more for the 40 new series rather than simply just Jump. Jujutsu also has its own ad.

These ads must cost at least a few hundred thousand to million yen. That's not something any company can just shovel out for series especially when they've barely got any questionnaire data. I can expect this as a new, extreme type of push for new series but only if that series is getting positive feedback.

Where are these 40 new manga from? This is pretty weird.

Edit: It seems Jump+ is one of the banners, so I guess from every relevant Shueisha magazine.

"A whole slew of creators and editors''. So, Oda is starting this.

I want an interview with Tabata. Maybe he explains something about the craziness that's happening in Black Clover in these last chapters.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Eh they've been doing these interviews for a few years now. They normally never say anything, and they ask every author the same questions. Though in last years BC one the editor did reveal how large of a part he plays in making decisions for the series, so that was interesting at least.

 

[Heiji]

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

That reminds me: for Volume 2 of Jump 50th years exhibition we've already saw messages from Toriyama, Togashi and Inoue.

Were similar messages in Volume 1 exhibition? I'd be interested in see if Kurumada, Akimoto, Yudetamago, Toriyama again, Tsukasa Hojo, Takahashi, or even Hiroshi Motomiya left a message when that period was covered.

EDIT: Young Yami in Quartet Knights o_O

Full Drive #2-3

Why am I being reminded of early Bleach looking at Full Drive's art? Ever since I saw the series and the style it was going for, I'm automatically reminded of early Bleach. Aside from the single character covers for the volumes, there is something else. Maybe it's the perspectives being used.

 

[tirakai]

I remember being surprised at how little of a part the Black Clover editor plays. I remember him talking about generally only changing things if he felt the panel order was confusing or if he felt Asta was acting out of character (which usually came down to Asta not shouting enough).

The Shokugeki one was interesting too, with the writer feeling like he barely does anything and most of the decisions coming from Tosh (at least I think it was a viz jump interview, might have been somewhere else).

 

[SharkBait]

Tentacles and a cute lead male character ensnared by them...Ziga chapter 2 is appealing to me in every way. Awesome chapter.

 

[jagman1x3]

TMI man.
