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

[TyVip]

If HZ failed to convince the other 2 million weekly readers/people that only purchase volumes from cool cover/word of mouth to go out and buy its manga for the last 4 years, it doesn't matter which studio it gets tbh. Shuiesha/Jump also had a fat campaign for it too (ToC placement, CPs).

It was nominated for top 15 manga you should read by the bookstore in 2015 (Zenkoku Shotenin ga Eranda Osusume Comic, series from this list usually get a nice boost), only thing it missed out on was Manga Taisho in 2015.

^ not talking about its quality, strictly popularity.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Yup, a better adaptation likely wouldn’t have helped it. Especially considering it seems to be getting largely positive responses from anime-only’s and they don’t even consider it bad, so there’s obviously something else stopping people from buying volumes. At the end of the day it just comes down to the series not appealing to people. Pair that with weak promotion for the anime and that’s that really.

Speaking of Dr. Stone studio

The part about pretty girls does sound a lot like Toei

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

According to 5ch, next Jump issue cover would be Promised Neverland. Again. Would need confirmation.

If true, Shueisha is showing Promised Neverland and Dr.Stone are the Torikos of this period. A lot of milking to both of them (Neverland is so good and selling well so is a surprise tho. Dr.Stone makes sense since is selling less than BokuBen if I recall well).

In other hand is surprising how Hero Academia manages to get so few covers (only 2 if I recall well, less than Black Clover, Haikyuu, Dr.Stone or Neverland). And since Hero Academia usually doesn't get any cover in autumn and winter, I'm not waiting any MHA cover until March at least.

With Kohei going with 13~16 pages schedule is it really that surprising?

 

[CuriousReborn]

Not like the quality of his art is bad, but even then assuming MHA got double the votes, that is a minimum of 70K, when was the last time a jump manga got a number this big? I do not see them releasing it without a cover and lead CP. But who knows they might delay it again till next month.

Speaking of next month we are getting two double issues right?

Right, but this year December has 5 Mondays, I have a feeling the 17 and 31 will be on break.

I do not understand why, what would prevent him from drawing color or cover? Oda does it.

Confirmed..

 

[MangAniMY]

I want to believe that TPN is just the lead color while the cover itself is a shared one, I think it is still It is just too soon for yet another TPN cover.

Eldive is finished now a guess, viz put up the last chapter. Do you think we'll ever see Amano return to the main magazine or will she keep to Jump+?

If she realized that she's a very very bad author but a good artist that can collaborate with another author, than I want her back in Jump.

 

[Neala897]

Because Oda now has his own private schedule where he does 3~4 chapters and just takes a break? Or maybe because his stamina as artist is just higher than Kohei`s? Who knows

 

[Franz]

I do not know that Horikoshi was hospitalized recently.

 

[DyanSon]

Neverland and MHA don't need a cover they should give to Black Clover or Jujutsu Kaisen and maybe give it to Act Age

 

[TxxT]

Black Clover just got one lol, and I would def like to see an Act Age cover before we get another Kaisen cover

 

[CuriousReborn]

Assuming next issue MHA gets nothing, then that would be 15 chapters with no color pages or covers. Even if a manga is that popular it still odd to not give it anything at this point. We dont have to full ToC yet so it could be 14 though :^)

Your logic is as sound as saying "What would prevent him from creating a series that sells 400 million copies? Oda does it".

clearly JUMP has interest in her in the full magazine, if they let her try out the HOT manga, which by the way, was in the magazine. Also was sure she did a previous one shot in WSJ as well in 2014 too.

Dont know why one would think she would never return to the main magazine.
