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

I know

Also because it would be a slight spoiler for those who have not yet read the manga

XD

 

[Mammo]

a reminder BC made the LN characters canon then pretended they were there all along

Tabata literally pulled a "buy the dlc for the finished game" in manga form

this is the lowest of the low, I can't think of a manga that did something worse than this

so why are you still surprised by anything he does?

 

[Obitooooo]

Please no... This again is boring...

I begin to think that you do it on purpose. For the last time, if you have any complaints you can do IN THE THREAD OF THE MANGA, since here there is a big risk spoilers.

So I will answer you there. If you want to counter we move here and do not clog the topic again please.

 

[Mammo]

i didn't say anything about the chapter

I'm talking about the mangaka and the bullshit he did

so please feel free to respond and defend it

that thing could inspire other to do the same and ruin the manga industry for the fans

yes I know it's been 3 years but I'm still angry

 

[Franz]

It was not related to you, but to Rica Patilin.

For the rest, if you believe that they are bullshit d discuss to another part and do not clog the topic.

so please feel free to respond and defend it

There's an entire section to talk about.

So Black Clover is lifting Sanctuary from Saint Seiya for its newest arc.

I mean, it's probably the manga that has lifted Saint Seiya the most closely since Bleach. Nobody else is playing the Gold Saint archetype so straight.

So Jujutsu is roughly the same on both sides, with slight preference for guys in their 10s-30s and for women in their 40s-60s. Act-Age is a lot more interesting. Seems really popular with girls in their teens!

 

[Jovan]

Act-Age should have been a shoujo manga and I think it would have done better, really. It does strike me as young female appealing manga.

Why? It's not like it's failing in Jump nor do Shoujo manga typically sell super well (with a few exceptions) so I doubt it would do much better if it ran in Margaret or Ribon

 

[cody]

Being in Jump is absolutely the best place where Act-Age can be, it is the most popular manga magazine in Japan and the readers like the manga. WSJ will give it more opportunities to grow and shine than any other magazine.

Well no, if Act Age's premise works better for the Shoujo audience, there are other magazines out there that cater to them way better than WSJ.

Tomorrow Anime Japan 2019 poll for the most wanted manga to anime adaptation starts

https://www.anime-japan.jp/main/ajranking/

there's 100 manga to vote for including multiple WSJ, Plus & SQ titles

I got an email saying my nominee BIRDMEN was accepted into the final 100, hopefully people vote for it

I know lot's of people will vote for the easy choice Act Age, but consider this, most WSJ manga receive anime anyway, it better to vote for something not from Jump

Please everyone vote in RobotxLaserbeam..

Maybe this way we will get the manga back.

Problem is, this is a shoujo manga serializing in a shounen magazine that is targeted towards young boys, not young girls. See the clash here. Sure, the readers like it, but I feel it could have been a big player for Shueisha in a Shoujo world, like one of the top. It is still largely overshadowed by most of the WSJ series both in sales and relative popularity in and outside Japan.

Same thing with Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai that is "seinen" only by the fact it serializes in WYJ, but otherwise is in fact a pure and simple shounen. I think Kaguya would have been MASSIVE had it moved from Miracle to WSJ, but sadly nope.

I do appreciate Jump being extremely bold and risky with Act-Age and it paid off.

 

[iceemperor]

I can see why Act-age seems like a shojo manga but personally, it reads closer to a sports manga than a shojo manga. This stage arc and specifically, the parts with Akira solidified that for me. His problems as an actor seem very similar to times in spokon where a player loses confidence in themselves. The climaxes are also quite heated like the climax of the Death Island arc.

But would it still get notice? Aside from Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura what shoujo have blown up? If you want to talk about western world it certainly wouldn't be simulpublished. Out of Shueisha's 3 shoujo manga magazines the only ongoing series that's even licensed is ChocoMimi which was from 2009 and I can't even find on Viz's site (might have missed something but I Googled all the ongoing series listed on their respective Wikipedia pages). As iceemperor pointed out it seems more like a sports series (just replace the sport with acting like how Soma did with cooking) than a shoujo.

Boys Over Flowers, Glass Mask, Fruits Basket, Kimi ni Todoke, Nana, Akatsuki no Yona, Chibi Maruko-chan, The Rose of Versailles

we've collectively named 10 that go back all the way to the 70s though. I don't get why they think it would do better in a shoujo magazine than it does in Jump

 

[TyVip]

lol if act age was in shojo no one would no about it.

Just let it go. The manga ain't coming back.

Im so confused. Shojo manga cant be sports manga?
