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

[Konja9]

If saiyuki was simply released in the 2000's/ early 2010. It would easily survived as one of the greatest modern jump series. It shows how much the audience in jump has changed rather than manga itself, idk what's on the minds of Japanese people now but they should really put a bit more effort in Reading.

let's see how the next Shooters manga will break out in jump, I hope both of them survive. It's just cool having 2 gun mc's published on the same time, they really can make great collabs

You don't know if Saiyuki would survive in the past. Maybe it would be the same flop it is now.


I really dislike this line: "they should really put a bit more effort in Reading. ".

No, they shouldn't. Japanese people read what they want and put the effort they want (after all, they buy it). If the manga is not enjoyable for them, it is "fault" of the manga (not the readers).

Let's leave saiyuki aside, the manga has already been canceled.

Let's talk about the new manga of jump. What do you think about them having the same theme apparently. Sort of trying to follow the success of spy x Family or even going the way of spotless love or Code: breaker ?

I’d love a School Rumble type of romcom in WSJ. A huge cast filled with lovable characters and they equally share focus.

School Rumble was some real fun shit, man. I laughed so much at that I had tummyache. Harmia with his overreactions and his whole "I AM A MAN OF MANS!" behavior was one of the best things I've ever read. That and how "Alive" their class&school felt because you had so many distinctive characters in there who some had really engaging chapters about themselves. <3

It will probably never happen, but I want an actual Slice of Life/Romance that isn't a comedy (something like Koe no Katachi or Blue Flag).

The closest thing we have to jumping is act-age.

Double taisei looked as though it would go a more dramatic path but eventually introduced powers, and set it aside.

I'd love a horror/supernatural manga in Jump like Shiki or even Kiben Gakuha (Furuadate's previous work) or Gakkou no Kaidan. I know this style fits better and can be more developed in Seinen magazines, but something with horror in a school scenario would be amazing for me. Even some battle action with "halloween" theme like Soul Eater.

Novel for Sept

 

[Mammo]

Gunjou no Batolo was a fun read
I was joking about it being similar to Vinland Saga, surprised it's actually about vikings, however this is very shonenish

the art and the writing atmosphere is similar to Kimetsu no Yaiba, I'm willing to bet the author is one of crocodile-sensei assistants

Furudate doing a nekketsu like Soul Eater would be fun.
But it would depend how much left have Haikyuu.

- More series where the setting is either a place outside of Japan, or based on a none-Japanese culture. It’s a Japanese magazine, so obviously I expect most of the series to be in Japan. But I like when we’d get JoJo stories set America, and places you don’t usually see manga set in like Italy. Or Fullmetal Alchemist where it’s clearly a fictional version of Europe.

But most of the foreign places/culture we get from anime/manga series are from America/Europe and/or have a huge inspiration from that...Literally majority of JJBA is placed in a western setting. I know Europe is huge but I would rather much get a series placed in Korea or some other non-western country than some European country at this point.

I was just giving America and Europe as examples, since, like you said, most manga that take place outside of Japan are based in America or Europe. I’m just saying I’d like to see stories set in more countries in general

 

[therocomotion]

A sport in a fictional sci-fi/fantasy setting could be pretty fun if done right, to be honest. Give it high stakes, too.

I think it’s the only romcom I’ve read where the entire classroom of the protagonist is relevant to a degree. Everyone had their own troubles / friend circles / love interests just like how a normal school setting should be. And it was hilarious to boot. Bring back the delinquent main characters Nak!

 

[Halloween]

Remember the movie Real Steel?

That. I want that as a Jump manga.

Funny thing, I just got off watching the Yu-Gi-Oh: Dark side of Dimensions movie, and with this discussion, made me realize that series is the only shonen series' that's dabbled in Egyptian mythology. If a newbie comes around, I'm hoping they try this again, but more faithful to the original mythology.

 

[animeexpert]

It was focused on infodumping using characters from Saiyuuki. The demon fighting bit was minor.

Also we need a good journey manga, the other battle shounen running right now besides OP are all mission based rather than having a long term journey, it'd actually stand out a good deal more if something went on a proper adventure for a change. I feel like it's been a while since we even got a flop adventure series.

Drstone is more of a journey, so that's that

The new romance action manga in the coming issue may be ur interest, it looks edgy so ~

--- Double Post Merged, Aug 19, 2019 ---

After all these realistic sport manga. We have no other option but to have another superpower sport manga.

Do we have an image preview of the new series? If anyone posted it here sorry I didn't see it.

Yozakura is on the right, Mitama is on the left bottom, both with guns.
