Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2019] - Discussion and TOC Talk

[Tamil]

I wouldn't be surprised if Shokugeki ends this Spring. I mean, after this chapter:

Spoiler

Tsukasa and the 3 Noir random guys are already KO in just 1 chapter, so only guys left are Souma, Erina, Megumi, Takumi (who seems is going to be out next chapter), Asashi, the Noir with glasses in kimono, the old masked Noir, and Escanor Noir. Not only there are few people left, Tsukusa is also going faster than previous arcs (except Souma vs Surge which lasted 3 chapters)

In other hand I think Yuuna-san isn't going to end soon. No signals about possible end (unlike Kimetsu or Neverland which are already in final arc).

Hinomaru however could end soon, depending of current arc pace and if there is going to be stuff after this arc.

I havent read Yuuna in a long time now lol. Didnt the anime also sell pretty well for an ecchi title? If so S2 is likely.

Honestly Soma needs to bite the dust first. Fans are starting to realize how bad it's gotten but I'm not sure if the Japanese feel the same way. The sales are declining. Soma is the new bleach.

Japan knows how bad it's gotten, too.

Yuuna is now dead, that is, he has the luck that there are not many series in the magazine and most of them are new ... otherwise it would have already been axed.

 

[TyVip]

Yuuna is safe till the Summer imo. That's still ~24 chapters to wrap any thing up/final arc. So 2 rounds safe(?)
I won't read Jump for 2 weeks if Soma actually end in 4 chapters, a nice and fat 300th

Time to start resuming Black Clover and Kimetsu i guess. Viz Vault god.

 

[SharkBait]

When has literary quality caused a series to end? I honestly dont see it ending because some fans think it's bad writing(tm).

Most 12 chapters series get axed because they are bad and unpopular

A series had to be somewhat good if it got serialized in the first place though. It's why I doubt a series is cancelled because its badly written.

 

[Jovan]

People forget Yuuna doesn't neccessarily have to end in WSJ, but in Shonen Jump Plus... of course that depends on lots of things including HZ, David, Ne0, Chainsaw and Higuma. Judging by Shueisha giving both Yuuna and HZ CPs recently, they want to save them.

Souma will be a milk cow with it's sales until it crumbles completely. Bleach 2.0 I see it as safe for now. It was in the bottom 3 since the beginning of 2018 and nothing changed since then. Nothing will now. Will be cancelled around the end of 2019.

 

[tirakai]

Speaking of series ending, Gintama ch 700 is out and if it's supposedly ending for real this time this should be the second last chapter.

I feel like there's a good chance of it pulling another fakeout on us though and actually ending after 3 more chapters in Summer's Jump GIGA (or whenever the next one is). Would be funny if Yuuna manages to end before it.

One Piece ep #870 is legendary. The sakuga in that fight, It was animated beautifully and better than the manga for sure. One of the best One Piece episodes, especially compared to the post-TS episodes. I'm happy since Luffy vs Katakuri is my fav fight post-TS. Please go watch the episode.

You must be joking if you think no badly written series has been serialized.

Hinomaru thriving for years at the sub 50k a vol level (80k, digital sales assumed) .

LOL. Don't even start. We both know you couldn't provide answers with any logical conclusion to questions I asked you . So like we ALL decided many pages ago, stop bringing fantasized numbers in.

I doubt that happens especially with Season 4 coming up, and if Sumo is still running in WSJ after all these years I doubt HQ would end prematurely if it's sales and popularity declined

But that's like saying why did they rush Toriko or Reborn to end when it was still selling the WSJ average towards the end. A number most newcomers don't hit until they get an anime. It's because they became just shells of their peak popularity.
Again, my assumption is IF HQ declines so much that it becomes a shell of its past. 400k a volume is the number I'd give for that. So we will see.
If trends are anything to go by, HQ would need another 2-3 years before it reaches that low, assuming it consistently declines.

Well to be fair that was under a different head editor, in a different time - Nak the hack has his own mindset.

On the 3 new serializations - I must have hit my head in my sleep because my ranking for them completely reversed this week. Chainsaw Man's chapter was predictable. Still good, but we kinda knew it'd be setting up a battle plus a bit of backstory. The cat backstory was way too bare bones imo. Meanwhile Higuma stays consistently pretty good, with "cool fights", "design style" and "morally just MC" being the main attractions. Most of all, the conclusion of the arc in Neo;lation was actually dope AF. Turning the whole "controlling people" paradigm onto the villain was dope, and the punch was glorious. (Even if the crying girls were... weird.)

For Toriko, I think that Shima no longer wanted to work, already in the volumes he began to say that he was tired of the rhythms of Jump and then the manga began to accelerate immediately after the grief he had suffered in the family, I do not think a coincidence.

In the end he likes to make one more humorous shots, but I hope that once his time is near, he will do some other long work.

 

[Jovan]

This is weird for me, but I feel like ne0lation had the strongest chapter this week out of the newbie trio lol. Chainsaw Man had the best ending of course along with shock factor.

Gokutei Higuma is a certain axe prediction for me. No stakes with an OP MC who does everything without a struggle so far making the power progression poor (ne0 has this issue as well but even he had to fight a bit with the hacker last arc ), unclear goal and plan for the plot development unlike CMan and Ne0, 3 chapters spent on a fodder villain and his backstory. Shame, I love the art. Higuma's powers and the design but the plot purely sucks. Nothing to make it stand against the other demon manga in WSJ.

 

[SharkBait]

Wow just 6 chapters in and I must say we haven't seen such strong writing in a manga since Stealth Symphony. ne0;lation has so much going for it that Im litrally gripping my armrests just reading it. This whole arc that concluded at the 6th chapter is just plain mindblowing. Everything comes together so well and just wow. all I can do is pull a Hinata and speak in sound effects and wingdings. just, whoa. Honestly.

I need that physical release yesterday.

That's two of us that like ne0 most this week. I mean it's natural too, the ending/climax of a mini-arc is bound to raise ratings (a la Bakuman). Paging SharkBait, how was this week's chapter for you? Oops you just posted 2 seconds before me ahhaha. Looks like that makes there of us.

I wonder what's next for ne0. They've done AI, maybe next is Big Data? Databases? HTML? LOL

Shueisha Launches Free Global MANGA Plus App

Shueisha launched a new online manga site and app named MANGA Plus in English on Monday worldwide, except in Japan, China, and South Korea. (These countries already have their own services.) A Spanish version of the service is planned for launch sometime between February and March.

The service will have a total of 50 titles, with 13 completed series (additional titles will be added gradually). The service will publish new chapters of currently serialized manga from Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump, Jump Square, and Shonen Jump+ at the same time they are released in Japan. While the service is free to download and use, users can also purchase compiled book volumes for specific manga. The first chapter and the latest chapter of currently serialized manga will also be free. A portion of the revenue from advertisements on the website will go directly to the manga authors.

Viz recently launched its Shonen Jump website in December, which similarly offers simultaneous publishing of serialized manga, as well as catalog manga. In an interview with ANN, Shonen Jump+ editor Shuhei Hosono stated the difference between the two services: worldwide availability (Viz Media's service is only available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, the Philippines, Singapore, and India), the availability of titles outside of the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, and the addition of some titles that have never had an English release.

The launch lineup for the service is as follows:
