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

[cody]

I wonder why Shueisha doesn't care about Jujutsu. It would be nice for Jujutsu to get 1/10 part of the push Dr.Stone gets weekly.

On the other hand, since it looks Jujutsu won't get any cover until its anime announcement, I'm rooting for Act-age to get the cover of Issue 21.

I don't know why you think Shueisha doesn't care about Jujutsu, how can you even say that?
I also don't know why you came to the conclusion that there will be no new covers until an anime announcement, that could could be true but I don't know why you say it like it is a fact.

Supposedly the color page mentions the manga ending in x numbers of chapters

Shokugeki no Souma since it had a color page? Though it could be fake as was the first TOC (poor me for spending time to translate on a fake thing)

Also, regarding the real TOC, makes more sense. Shueisha giving David a CP after being a flat out disaster in Volume 2 sales would have been too much.
Yui Kamio is still unranked, but it being this low already may indicate it doesnt have a great initial reception.

Yeah for Souma, its not confirmed though so for all we know I got baited

You would have thought that kind of a big thing would leak out by now? Guess we will see in few days. Huge respect for the 6,5 years it survived and the sales it has, but it has to be put out of its misery.

Yeah, I think its bullshit so im gonna delete my post

Would make sense to me since even if we didnt get any countdown, we could assume there's probably like 5 or 6 chapters left? We got the final fight started and everything is pretty much done.

4chan post says

"Only 15 chapters remain for Shokugeki No Soma. The announcement comes from the color page this chapter"

I am not sure WSJ would announce that many chapters in advance but would signal it survives this axe round. Unlikely that this is any true.

Hi everyone,

I am new here, I hope to learn more about pre-publication and in manga in general and I wish we all have interesting conversations !

Since we have so many new users, let's discuss our biggest pet peeves when it comes to misconceptions about the magazine.

My big 3 are; people thinking shonen is a genre. In this context it's a magazine demographic.

People thinking the ToC is an exact ranking of 8 weeks prior. The send in postcards influence the placement however the TOC is not a ranking and is influenced by many factors.

People thinking Jump being cutthroat is a new thing.

Oh and of course "the big 3" being a thing. It was a western marketing gimmick. During Bleach's big years other series were just as popular such Death Note, Hikaru no Go, Eyeshield 21, Yugioh, Prince of Tennis, Shaman King, Reborn!, Gintama, and D. Gray Man.

iamverysmart implies a feigned expertise. I'm simply passionate yet jaded.

Does the image works?

On my side, for the misconception about the magazine that I believed for a long time :

Thanks to Bakuman, I thought the TOC was only based on the "popularity vote" that happened 8 weeks before, and worse than all I though every magazine were working that way.

Either way I realised soon enough that Shonen was not a genre (as shojo and seinen) but more about the targeted audience.

 

[SharkBait]

people thinking shonen is a genre.

this is the most annoying thing. Doesnt help that popular official sights even categorize action shows as such but leave shonen out of non action genres.

Also that shonen cant be romance series...

What are some good shonen romances btw? I've mostly only read shoujo romances and even those usually had mystical elements or were mainly slice-of-life. Harem and romance sideplots in action manga don't count. I seriously want to read some shounen romance.

Horimiya is a good starting point. Not really Jump related but whatever.

Weekly Shonen Magazine has had a lot.

Thx for the confirmation.
Last time I used the same website and for some reason it didnt work, anyways part two of Kubos project.

Thanks for these.
I miss Kubo's art. Also, as I was scrolling down I had no idea what these were but they just screamed "Tite Kubo art".
Some people often say his art is generic but his art is unique in a less obvious manner.

Agreed. I sorta get tilted every time people refer to shonen as a genre. So many sites out there which often have 1000s of people using mention shonen as a genre. It's sad that misinformation is being spread and no one seems affected by it.
It's like saying "PG 13" is a genre.

Oh and of course "the big 3" being a thing. It was a western marketing gimmick. During Bleach's big years other series were just as popular such Death Note, Hikaru no Go, Eyeshield 21, Yugioh, Prince of Tennis, Shaman King, Reborn!, Gintama, and D. Gray Man.

To be fair, when Bleach got popular aside from Death Note which was 2 years in length, none of the others sold as much as Bleach did. Prince of Tennis was already declining by then. But yeah, the term was a western gimmick based on the 3 series often showed on WSJ covers.

What is this? A oneshot?

Promotion for the characters Kubo designed for a game.

I like Bloom Into You, which is apparently shonen.
