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

[Mankichi Togawa]

I'm interested in 2 things right now:

-What spot will the new manga get? I think nothing will be axed for now, and is the HxH spot. I mean, axe usually happens in chapter 12 as minimum, and none of the 3 new mangas are still in that chapter. Yuuna-san? If David, I'll riot.

-What will be the theme of the new manga? Another manga which plot has interaction with demons?

What spot will the new manga get?

We would not need it since we are still at 18 series against the usual 20

19 if we really want to consider also Boruto.

Weird way to spell Higuma

You think Higuma goes before ne0?

I think this issue will tell us how many new series will there be.

Kind of hyped, but feels so early to cut Higuma or ne0 since WSJ usually waits till 12+ chap. Maybe David or Yuuna are going?

they need a new manga to replace Gintama as the face of GIGA

my guess is an old series will get the boot

This is an interesting theory. Won't be surprised if they move one of Hinomaru/Yuuna/Soma there.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Hinomaru and Soma don't quite feel close enough to ending for that, but Yuuna definitely feels like it's at a conclusion based off the last chapter, and could wrap up in a few longer chapters

I still strongly think Dr.Stone is the most pushed series by Shueisha since Toriko.

Just for comparison:
-Dr.Stone has anime upcoming, plus anniversary. Is normal to get a cover, but then in December it got two covers, and was the Jump manga with most covers in 2018, only after One Piece.
-Kimetsu has anime upcoming, plus anniversary. It also is doing well in ranking, like Dr.Stone. But it has almost no covers.

PD: In western forums, for people Dr.Stone has also became a major current manga, at the same heights of Neverland. Meanwhile in Japan it can't beat We Never Learn and is struggling against Jujutsu and Act-age. Is a curious situation.

PD2: I hope after the new batch we get Jujutsu 1st anniversary cover. For some reason Jujutsu is having very little promotion by Shueisha, even when is almost 50 chapters already.

Well, if Gintama really does end...

 

[Franz]

At the moment there are few series on Jump, so I think none will be replaced or canceled soon.

Kimetsu and Jujutsu are likely both in the line for cover after the batch. I doubt they would treat them differently than Act Age and Dr Stone (anniversary and anime celebration)

According to 5ch, we would be getting 2 new titles.
-First one is based in Journey to the West
-Second one is by Shibashi Hiroshi (Nurarihyon no Mago author)

 

[revo68]

We'll find out whether it's true or not once the TOC leaks. According to the person who leaked the Cover Page, apparently there will be 2 new series. The 1st new series is a journey to the west themed story while the 2nd new series is by Shiibashi Hiroshi.

Thoughts and prayers for Ne0;lation's and Higuma's continued presence in our beloved magazine.

 

[tirakai]

Haven't we been getting extra oneshots recently? They might only need to get rid of one series if it's a batch of two and one replaces the extra oneshots.

I hope Shibashi will be able to find success again. Nurarihyon was a fun read.

Also when was the last time Jump had a manga based on a novel in it? Houshin Engi?

 

[Jovan]

Are there any spoilers if something is ending or we have to wait for TOC?

Really glad Hiroshi is back. Loved Mago.

How well did JUMP FORCE do in JPN or is it too early to know the sales?

The linked post also says Samurai 8 starts at the end of April or early May, so that is the next batch likely
