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

[RafaFedKilla]

14 new oneshots on Plus including new works from Bozebeats author (they are back already?) and Kurokuroku author (will people stop shitposting about his handball oneshot now?)

the rest seems to be rookies and treasures awards winners/honorable mentions

Come on brah, we know you liked Kenpa Trick.

I'd say the most underrated manga in Jump is still Jujutsu, but is also getting love.

I take an example according to what are you saying in last posts. Act-age is getting some talk after this batch, but Jujutsu chapter 18 was scanlated last Friday and was greatly ignored by internet.

Is this Yonkou’s fault too for not posting about it to the masses? Lol I’m joking even if I still never understood your thought process on that.

That is Black Clover stuff that we already talked (Yonkou giving free publicity of all major Jump titles except Black Clover hasn't helped Black Clover reception in internet at all). Dunno why talk about that now when we are talking now about reception of two Jump newest succesful titles lol (still, comparison with Dr.Stone or BokuBen in their 1st year is something interesting to compare).

If you want to talk underrated, then Haikyuu will be up near the top. Using that gauge of r/manga and whatnot, it barely gets close to OP, Heroaca, Neverland, etc. Of course that's simply one group of readers but even outside there it hardly gets much attention. I personally have still been holding off on reading it, debating of simply just watching it first and then going at it, but without a doubt its arguably the most underrated, or at least one of the most. Jujutsu in comparison is still starting out. There's plenty of time for it to take off and not many series take off from the beginning 20 chapters in the west anyway.

Yonkou has given Haikyuu a full "push" both on his twitter and on that Jump league thing. Despite that it still didn't take off much after that so him talking about a series will do hardly anything for a series. He simply talks about what he wants to talk about.

I think Haikyuu is the same case of Gintama: titles in which anime is way more popular than manga. When another anime season gets announced, I'm seeing Haikyuu popularity to skyrock again.

Heck, here people are mad because manga editorials don't want to license Haikyuu manga because Kuroko no Basket was a great failure in sales.

If you do decide to get into Haikyuu, I strongly recommend starting off with the anime first. It's definitely one of the best anime adaptations I've seen. OST is great and the animation is some of the best I've seen.

Always remember that Haikyuu is a sports series and they don't tend to be very popular overseas outside Captain Tsubasa. The manga also has considerably slow pacing with matches that can last to up to a year and the art can be incredibly off putting. Since you loved Zumou I highly recommend you pick up since it covers the same basis of friendship, effort and victory Jump is famous for and as @EmDee said it has one of the best anime adaptation of a Jump manga, probably the last time Production I.G. actually tried to outdo the source of material instead of lazily sticking close to it, with the composer of Heroaca producing the soundtrack. Haikyuu is good shit probably the best sports manga to ever run in Jump second to Slam Dunk.

Jump Force - Bleach Gameplay

 

[shoyoboyo]

Man I really don't like the gritty style that Jump Force has. It's almost off-putting.

 

[TyVip]

If you start with Haikyuu anime should stick with the anime tbh. The manga art gets worse and worse. I started at the end of season 2 (Before S3 comes out) and only get up to the Neko match after the Crow's match. You could say I got spoiled by the anime.

Act Age is interesting so far, I see that the author is jumping on the battle royale genre .

Jump Force still looks kinda boo boo.

 

[ChocoBar9]

Its very...Sonic '06-esque. Just very off-putting. It makes me wonder how they'll incorporate gag characters into it when its all gritty and realistic.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I still think next Jump Force title is going to be Hero Academia. I think we'll get next franchise next issue or following one. Maybe one franchise each three-four weeks?

No.

Oh that's obvious but eh hard to get excited given the state of the game isn't very promising. Hope its more of a robust roster than J-Stars which despite having oddities like Chinyūki had a fairly predictable line-up.

Yep. We already know is going to be only ''action-adventure'' titles mainly, weren't we?. I'm mainly curious if Hokuto no Ken and Kinnikuman are going to be there.

Also, no Switch version

We already knew everything but that color pic looks great.

 

[De La Croissant]

Slam Dunk on the list of best sellers. Anime Special for Yu Yu Hakusho. New Dragon Ball movie about Broly coming soon in theaters. Are we back in 1993?

I mean, WNL and Dr. Stone got no publicity from Yonkou and they got fairly popular in our community, for example. If we look at r/manga, Dr. Stone have high upvotes and WNL is one of the manga with more upvotes on the subreddit as well. The last chapter for example got more than 1k.

I’m probably in the minority, but I would like to see YYH get a continuation anime in the future.
Not something long running. Maybe just like a 13 or 25 episode season.

Never got why people want a remake though. The original still holds up and damn near perfectly adapted the manga
