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

[Jovan]

It’s been one the entire time, but people seem to be ignoring that because it’s a “gag“ manga.

Thanks for the explanation since I never read David Kun (yet).

P.S. I have yet to start reading We Never Learn (will do soon), but I saw on Reddit mangaka has tweaked MC's design drastically from the Chapter 1 to now. Meh, not seeing to point in doing this to the male MC in a harem manga just to be more "cute". One of the rare art style changes I disliked in a manga.

So does anyone have a link to next week’s new artist old One Shots or series?

Well, it's already "this week's" for us. Korean scans should be out by Friday. But it's Mutou Black's author.

There is also a miniseries he did for Shonen Jump+ Ikimono Seitai Kansatsu Variety, which can be found here https://shonenjumpplus.com/episode/10833497643049549890

Geez, when you describe it like that, you make it sound worse than it actually is.

lol, I didn't even realize what I typed until you point it out
just to be clear, I meant it as "have to deal with", I don't think these oneshots were shit...well not all of them at least

Chainsaw Man Official Fanart Contest

This is fucking cool, it might be a good sign. Chainsaw Man is still my favorite out of the dark hero trio, so I hope it sticks around. I've slowly lost interest in Higuma and stopped caring about ne0;lation completely. I think Higuma's mangaka can make something really interesting, I don't know if it's going to be Higuma later on or something new. ne0 has some nice art but I really don't care about the story, I don't think this writer-artist duo is a good match-up.

The two new series could be fun, I'm more interested in the second one, I really hope it's an action manga, the two characters look good.

It seems it is done as a celebration of Volume 1 release in more than a week. Still so odd Chainsaw Man gets to sell now, but ne0 and Higuma not.

I feel Higuma is a gigantic wasted potential so far, but the last chapter was really nice. ne0 is a forgettable "entertainment" manga that was never going to do well.

It's weird to suddenly see this contest, it's not exactly common to do that for a new manga. Chainsaw Man seems to have a decent amount of fan art already so this might be a direct response to that.

Contest before its moved to jump+

Nah, I knew what you were getting at. I just wanted to point out your amusingly unfortunate choice of words .

I remember how much people hated what Bakuman's character art became from when it first started.

 

[SharkBait]

Probably had to change to make it faster to draw.

Bruh who's cutting onion in my ghost manga

Bakuman One of the rare manga in WSJ that actually depicted a good male buddy relationship. Mostly it is "YOU ARE MY RIVAL" lol.

Bruh who's cutting onion in my ghost manga

Pages 15-17 of this new chapter (on Mangadex) made probably one of the top moments of Yuragi sou no Yuuna san. I hope she wins, truly. She won't but still.

 

[therocomotion]

Thing against Kamio Yui being a romcom is that there is no guy in the promotional image. There might be a guy deuteragonist in the actual manga, but I think it would be more like Medaka or Burn the Witch.

 

[SharkBait]

Would be funny, if they arent the actual lead characters.Wonder if thats ever happened before.

Didn't BokuBen first pic ever from a preview feature only Fumino and Rizu?

Nope, it had Nariyuki alongside them:

Seeing these six again feels weird. In a way I wish we'd have another one of these bigger serialization rounds even if this one kinda failed.

I think the April-May round may be a super sized one if the newbies crater, really.

Oh back in the days when WNL male MC was presented as a generic edgy nerd character by design. I have to think the Jump editors forced a design change for him.

 

[therocomotion]

Nah. Kishimoto will be given space, I don't expect more than 1 series debuting alongside his.
