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

[Mankichi Togawa]

Now that I've noticed it, Ziga died in chapter 12. Truly a worthy member of U-19 Club.

 

[Xzone]

Im not really seeing where this is going unless it’s just one new series this time. They dont seem to be setting any of the remaining three series up to end this round rankings-wise. Though ending Act-age in a few weeks would coincide well with fulling up most of its third volume, and there’s that consecutive release thing. If it doesnt end this round, it’ll go onto its fourth volume, which is kinda odd. Noah’s Notes feels like it could last another round too.

They end Ziga before Age.
I think with this, we need to delay the discussion until we see the next volume sales.

 

[Mr.Fujimaster]

I am surprised to see Jujutsu Kaisen in a good position.
For me, Jujutsu is more likely to survive than Act-Age.
Bye, Ziga. I'm interested to know who will be next to leave the magazine.

 

[xAsum0x]

I keep forgetting that 2 new series just started last month LMAO

 

[ElJin]

Jujutsu Kaisen is looking like a new World Trigger

 

[SharkBait]

Jujutsu Redemption, ready for Viz to add it to English Jump any week now. Its so good to see a series that one championed become a winner in Real Time.

 

[TheEnhancedExe]

Tbh, I don't think any one of Act-Age, Jujutsu Kaisen or Noah's Notes will survive past chapter 100.

In the last few weeks, the tocs were looking really random tbh. Might be that the current EiC doesn't make the list based on the votings apart from when new series are doing really bad. Wouldn't really surprise me tbh.

The only constants in recent weeks were One Piece and Neverland (plus maybe one or two other series I'm forgetting) at the top and RxL+Ziga somewhere at the bottom. Other than that, all ranks were shuffled through. It really doesn't look like the ToC is an accurate way to predict what ends up getting cancelled next the way it is now.

RxL has been bottom for ages and it still survived so far. I don't think they'll cancel it soon. If they cancel it, they'll wait until shortly before chapter 100.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Come on Noah's Notes. If Jujutsu can, you also can. RISE UP, MY GYARU.

 

[PluemBNK48]

So , Japan loves chapter8 of jujutsu kaisen

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Go home ToC, you’re drunk

 

[SharkBait]

Tbh, I don't think any one of Act-Age, Jujutsu Kaisen or Noah's Notes will survive past chapter 100.

Jujutsu is carving its niche and establishing itself as a new foundation for new gen of jump. Of those three its the one with the most potential to reach the 2 year mark. If the quality stays steady then there is no way for it to not last.

Noah Note and Act-Age dont have plots that would imply they have the potential to last as long.

Oricon Ranking June 4 - June 10

**16328 **16328 Jigokuraku
**16301 **16301 One Piece Party

That's 812,603 for the Slam Dunk rerun.

More than 800k for a rerun is crazy. Guess I need to read more sport manga (actually I think I need to start reading sport manga. The only "sport" manga I ever read is Glass Mask but can it be called "sport"?)

Kimetsu cross 100k sales in the first week! I'm so glad for Crocodile!

 

[Belkac3m]

Well, I wish the next one to be axed will be Noah's Notes, then Act-Age

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Please Noah's Notes. Please, Momiji no Kisetsu (despite nobody remembers you exist). Avoid ending in this. Please ;_;

This meme gets 2 thumbs down for disrespecting Bamba the Man by mixing him up with the U19 nobody

 

[SharkBait]

Ziga isnt helping my record. First Bozebeats and now this, only Jujutsu is saving my record and reputation.

 

[MangAniMY]

Please Noah's Notes. Please, Momiji no Kisetsu (despite nobody remembers you exist). Avoid ending in this. Please ;_;

At this rate U19 (& maybe Ole Golazo) will be one of the most remembered Jump series of the late 2010s

forgotten in obscurity, or immortalised in a meme that represents failure...

JUMP SUPER FLOP

 

[Franz]

Therefore, comparing the current situation of Jump with the last six years:

From 2012 onwards have survived Haikyu and Soma, from 2013 only World Trigger (in hiatus perenne), from 2014 My Hero Academia and Hinomarou Zumo, from 2015 only Black Clover, from 2016 four series; Kimetsu, Neverland, Boruto, and Yuuna, and from 2017 to now We Never Learn, Dr. Stone and Robot x Lazerbeam.

How many of the series debuted this year can exceed the year, taking into account that of the five debuts so far two were axed? Will we have only one or more?

I wouldn't count Boruto in that as it is a monthly series. Aside from that I think realistically given the state of things currently in jump, not counting the longevity of Gintama and Soma not saying their ending any time soon but I'm going to leave them as filled slots, I'd say the possible debuts of this year at most I can see 2 surviving as of now anyway though this number is subject to change with time and if Hunter x Hunter returns this year.
