They spelt Tanaka's mangaka's name wrong. Its Amatsuka Keiji. Also, both Alice and Tanaka are from the same Editorial group, the Honda group.

So it seems this happened.

>Editor: sensei, what's your favorite manga from the current line of the magazine?
>Toriyama: I havn't read much these days (laughs) but I really liked what I saw in Black Clover, the author has a great sense of impact and the protagonist is very charismatic.

This shameless shilling...

An interesting thing mentioned by Torishima in the special is that a series that has conflicting opinions from the editors in the meeting regarding its success has a higher chance of becoming a hit than one that everyone agrees is good. OP was split in whether it would take off with Torishima on the no side but it took off like a rocket. In contrast, Noah's notes was a unanimous "Go" from everyone as mentioned on the wraparound

I think there's a lot of sense in that. If a series is split between editor's thinking it'll work or not chances are it's doing something new or different, taking a bit of a risk. That makes it harder to predict for the editors but in turn something new and unpredictable could feel very cool and fresh to the readers (it can go the other way too of course, U19 was a pretty risk-taking series for jump with it's heavy politics).

If a series that gets the yes from every editor however it means they find it a safe and predictable series, but if the editors think it's safe and predictable the fans might as well. Or another possibility is that it's casting a net wide enough to appeal to everyone (hence everyone agrees it's good enough) but perhaps not capturing any one demographic strongly enough for them to vote for it much.

This actually makes me wonder about MHA's serialization process. It feels like the type of series that would get an unanimous yes, but now I'm actually wondering if there were people against it. But I'd chalk that up to Horikoshi's track record with them. I could definitely see some being hesitant because of that.

ZIP just did a special on Heroaca's AX premiere and mentioned a series total of 1 million in America.

Given how severely understock it was it probably had a lot of naysayers.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Hero Academia still hasn't reached 200 chapters, but the treatment it receives gives me the very same impression of the treatment both Naruto and Bleach did in their golden years. Which is good.

Seems Hero Academia is already seen as one of legends of Shonen Jump. Which makes me happy. Yes, I know is maybe soon, but is already giving me these vibes.

 

[ChocoBar9]

Who knows?

What is considered a Jump legend anyways? Feels like nothing is going to do as well as the yesteryears with One Piece as a constant reminder of a peak that can never be reached by the current generation.

It is interesting how Heroaca wasn't explicitly shown as a hit series in the TV special. They did a slideshow of hit series for each time period and for the 2010s, the put AssClass of course and for the others they showed Haikyuu, Soma, Trigger, BC and Neverland. They skipped over Heroaca. Naruto, HxH, Bleach, etc got their own special callout as series that followed the success of OP.
