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

[Mankichi Togawa]

Now that Kenshin is in Jump Force there are only 2 big fighting franchises left (4 if you count MHA and Toriko) aka JoJo and Kinnikuman.

I see JoJo being 100% in and being the next announcement. Kinnikuman in other hand isn't so clear so is the one which is giving me more expectations.

JoJo Friday Jojo announcement pls

• Juju kaisen volume 3 will drop on Friday December 14th. I think it will get another CP on Issue 1 (Dec 3rd) or Issue 2 (Dec 14th). A cover would be even better but usually the first issue goes to one piece (2017,2016) or new series (2015,2014), or a group cover. Its last cover was on Aug (Issue #43). Either Act Age and/or JuJu might be in Manga Taisho or some awards starting next year.

Mild correction:Jujutsu Kaisen volume 3 will drop Tuesday, December 4th, along with volume 0, so I’d expect a colour page on issue 1, for sure.

I did some thinking, and I think there might be a good reason why MHA might not get a spot. It's because compared to the rest of the franchises shown, Deku hasn't yet reached the peak of his powers. All Might though.... We may get MHA in Jump Force if Deku is going to be packaged along with AM. Ironically, Deku might not even be the main billing in this pack. Instead, that goes to All Might who's reached OFA's peak.

• Kimetsu still gets no love

You're forgetting the CPs. As far as I remember, the series gets a lot of them.

Anyway, when it comes to the combo "Cover/Lead CP/CP", I don't think anyone will beat TPN this year.

Geez, ppl on twitter can be annoying.

The dude that was telling me that Dr.Stone was probably being animated by Production IG, wants me to acknowledge him for being right about a Dr.Stone anime being announced. As if it was exclusive knowledge that he had lol

Is it me or does seem like people on this thread don't really care about the toc placements anymore? Or even know what running right now in Jump?

I mean, that’s not really much to care about in the placements. The same series are always popular. The only time to really be interested in the TOC placements is when we get knew series and want to see if they’re catching on or not

The editor is playing mindgames with the ToC placement, only thing that is fact is that BLack Clover and Jujutsu is consistently popular, HeroAca is declining, and veteran series like Food Wars and Haikyuu!! are permanent pillars of JUMP and are impervious to rankings reflecting popularity.

The thing is that the TOC doesn’t mean what people used to think it does, so like beyond the absolute back of it there’s not much to worry or think about.

how many years did it last?

Lots of Japanese readers are laughing at the new HxH chapter.

Doesnt look like the most optimal content to show for a commercial to really inspire people to come back for the main anime.

 

[TxxT]

how many years did it last?

just finished its 1 year anniversary in July, hasn't had real content in months, Jumputi has been slowly killing it

cuz every time i see it it gives me a deja vu.

Nothing really exciting happening these days. The latest serialized series are two comedy one. At the very least i can still name 80% of the stuffs that are in Jump atm.

Maybe??

1. The new serializations are bunch of comedies that are usually neglected by west until it survives a 50 issues or so
2. With many series cut from WSJ recently, bottom dwellers like Soma and Yuragi will manage to survive.
3. Anime. Anime annoncements everywhere.
4. Everytime Black Clover is mentioned, the thread turns into warzone
5. Jump Force? Many topics to discuss like World Trigger, MHA's 15 pages, surge of HZ supporters, Jump Festa etc

On the other hand, i think Dr. Stone is the one need an anime effect. It's been pushed really hard since then,but profit-wise, it has no signs of becoming a potential Jump hit like everyone advertised so far. Now that Jujutsu and Act Age taking it's position while having a projection of higher sales and talk, the timeframe for Stone to shine is in danger. (The sales is pretty decent, but when you hogging the top spot of TOC for many issues, there should be a higher expectation)

Dr Stone doesn't have print number yet feelsbadman
