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

[OtterBrigade]

psycho pass had 22 episodes, so we cant rule out more than 11 as an impossibility.

that also aired in 2013. Their last 2 cour show was Your Lie in April in fall 2014 and now Banana Fish next season. They are super rare and I doubt there would be two back to back like Banana Fish and TPN would be.

This leads me to believe that Neverland getting on the block was a last minute decision since they're well known for prescheduling all their lineup for the year and with BF running until December it leaves very little leeway for anything else.

At the end of the day none of us really know how any of these works, or what these companies are planning in their offices.

No sense in predicting what will “probably” happen and what most likely won’t happen

 

[xAsum0x]

This week's chapters were great

 

[Tamil]

How does HxH's Ametalk special compare with Kingdom's? I know it's too early to tell but I mean like first impression/reactions on twitter & what not.

When can HZ get its Ametalk special?

 

[SharkBait]

hxh increase would be less notable than kingdoms since hxh was already much higher selling, no way could hxh quadruple its sells from like 1+ mln some volumes, like how kingdom went from like 200K to now 750+ k.

Ametalk did cause a major uptick in hxh arts ^_^ so many cute KilGon watching tv and people actually remembered Leorio is an hxh character again.

Volume 35 came back up on Bunkyodo, though around 30-40th place and Vol 33 and 34 also appeared for a few hours. The biggest surge I've seen is on Aamzon with the kindle versions. We'll have to wait until POS comes out this weekend to see the full effect but I don't expect anything like Kingdom.

Hinomaru Sumou can get one if it lasts another 15 volumes and the anime does a decent job. For all the series featured there, each had a certain amount of popularity. Even Kingdom was close to 300k before going on there.

 

[Tanzo]

Yuragi anime direct coming June 3rd , featuring Yuuna/Chisaki/Sagiri VAs and new anime information and maybe a PV with voice-acting this time

 

[SharkBait]

Everytime i see the yuuragi lead i really want to watch it, agh this is like me and #HaremKing all over again, why put hot guys in these. I swore off of them after Hagure Yuusha no Estetica.

 

[Aipom626]

So with Lycopene moving to Jump+ after this issue, I'm starting to think that Invade You is going to be the new end-of-magazine series. So is Soma looking like it's still going to continue on for the foreseeable future?

 

[Nemesis]

The Jump volumes of this month sure are late

So with Lycopene moving to Jump+ after this issue, I'm starting to think that Invade You is going to be the new end-of-magazine series. So is Soma looking like it's still going to continue on for the foreseeable future?

Is that already confirmed?

 

[OtterBrigade]

Is that already confirmed?

wasn't the same guy who said that the one who said TPN was going to be on Nointmina? Unless they had insane prediction skills or just had some real info and decided to lie I don't see why it wouldn't be the case.

 

[Heiji]

Is that already confirmed?

I confirm. Back in july on Shônen Jump Plus.

 

[Tamil]

So is Soma looking like it's still going to continue on for the foreseeable future?

I doubt it. The manga sales have dropped so hard at this point

The anime isnt doing well at all so this could be SnS's final season and what's bothering me is that fans are delusional enough to think the series can last another 100-200+ chapters just because it's still in the top selling rankings, as if they never learned anything from Bleach, Reborn, Toriko, etc.

I still believe it'll end some time in 2019 especially if other new titles start to sell well like Kimetsu with their anime release. It wouldn't shock me if it's going to start rushing really hard than it already is during the end of the year or something.


There's also this SnS interview comment I posted in the 2017 ToC thread....

APA: Who can we expect to be on the 92nd Generation of the Elite Ten Council?

Tsukuda: Soma. But at this point, we still haven’t quite decided just how long we’ll take this story for. We’ve talked about maybe writing through Soma’s graduation from Totsuki Academy. Another idea that’s been tossed around was wrapping up the story before he enters his second year. We’ll probably do an epilogue of some sort, regardless. We still need to discuss how Soma will be depicted once he’s in the Elite Ten.

 

[Nemesis]

I confirm. Back in july on Shônen Jump Plus.

Oh, ok then.

 

[Franz]

what's bothering me is that fans are delusional enough to think the series can last another 100-200+ chapters just because it's still in the top selling rankings, as if they never learned anything from Bleach, Reborn, Toriko, etc...

Toriko and Reborn lasted 8 years and Bleach after the collapse of popularity has gone on another 4.

As long as I do not see the official announcement, I doubt that Soma ends like this from one day to the next.

 

[Inumaru]

So with Lycopene moving to Jump+ after this issue, I'm starting to think that Invade You is going to be the new end-of-magazine series. So is Soma looking like it's still going to continue on for the foreseeable future?

Since it's by a newbie, I think first it will have to prove to be successful, like happened to Isobee, who was published for more than a year before being chosen to be placed in the permanent last place of the TOC and also managed to sold more than 50k with the first volume.

That could be true, but Lycopene's last chapter will be in the same issue as Invade You's third chapter. I believe Lycopene spent its first 3 chapters mixed around in the TOC with the rest of the series before settling in the bottom for its fourth. I guess we'll just have to wait and see since I didn't realize this guy was a newbie.

Does Lycopene's departure mean that there will be an open slot in the TOC?

That certainly is a noticeable decline. I thought from those spoilers earlier in the week that Soma could end in the next few chapters, but from seeing the chapter, it looks like it'll continue on a bit longer than that at the very least.

 

[WyldViolet]

The second year time skip could easily just be the start of a few chapter epilogue.

As already mentioned, they usually make announcements when they are close to closing.
