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

Usually when manga gets recommendations from famous authors survive.

Didn't work out for Futaribocchi Sensou.

We should do a Samurai 8 first 2 week sales poll once it's closer to release.

<10k
10-20k
20-50k
50-100k
100k<

I'm definitely going to do a poll for it once the volumes are closer to release. I assumed everyone wanted it to be first month sales, but perhaps two weeks is better. Less waiting.

Remembers when Posuka gave David recommendation for the last volume

david kun doesn't tell why pozuka's recommendation came late. The manga had already been canceled.

Iirc didn’t Oda recommend Ne0;Lation? That’s probably one of the biggest recommendations you can receive.

I personally don’t think the recommendations are shills, or forced. I think the famous manga artist giving this recommendations probably legitimately like the manga they’re recommending, and want to see it survive themselves.
And it’s still probably still a huge deal.

Didn't work out for Futaribocchi Sensou.

I know that recommendations may not help. But most of the time I go along, they have contributed a lot to the manga's survival.
It is not an absolute certainty, but it is already something.

Futaribocchi Sensou didn't even know it existed, but I searched Google and I liked what I saw, too bad it was canceled.

Either way seems to be late for TSS, it has been dwelling in the bottom for so long

Guys, I have a poll idea, but I need some assistance with the poll choices. The question will be "Which two ongoing Jump series would you like to see do a crossover chapter the most?"

Now, I don't read every series in Jump, so I need crossover suggestions for the series I don't read.

Chainsawman and Jujutsu Kaisen is an obvious one right off the bat. But yeah, suggestions please.

It's not that late since the recommendation will be in the first volume of the manga. Maybe I can still save, even though I spent a long time at the botton.

Haikyu!! x MHA
Yuuna x We Never Learn
TPN x KnY
MHA x BC
Beast Children x WSJ Axe

 

[Halloween]

I don't really get the MHA x Haikyuu suggestion, but the others work. I'm going to exclude the flops, though.

 

[101nemesis]

Chainsaw Man x Act Age - Just because I wanna see Act Age's world burn.

 

[Koni]

I don't really get the MHA x Haikyuu suggestion, but the others work. I'm going to exclude the flops, though.

Ironically, it's somewhat happened before, as a promotion for an exhibition. Apparently Bakugou and Nishinoya share the same voice actor:

I'm also sure they share their fujoshi fanbases as well, though that's just from what I've seen on Twitter and Reddit.

 

[Halloween]

Alright, so I excluded One Piece, Act-Age and Haikyuu, because nothing felt right in regards to a crossover with them, in my opinion. Haikyuu is like the only sports series that's not a flop currently. And in regards to Sam8 and Dr. Stone, they're both heavily science based, so it made sense to me. Act-Age is so unique I really can't think of a reasonable crossover, etc.

 

[hisoga]

HxH and Jujutsu Kaisen. They have quite similar artstyle.

You know, I totally forgot about HxH, lol. Although, the poll is more meant for weekly ongoing, but I did leave the other option for a reason, for anything I missed.

 

[Nemesis]

About that poll, Yunna and WNL already got a crossover, no? If that lead color page with them counts lol

Act-Age is about acting and all that jazz. I'm sure they can just play everything off as if characters from another world are on set acting out their roles. Would be a cute idea, though I suppose it could also break immersion for fans of a respective series. Personally I think it would be fun.

Yeah, I meant a full chapter crossover.

Act-Age is about acting and all that jazz. I'm sure they can just play everything off as if characters from another world are on set acting out their roles. Would be a cute idea, though I suppose it could also break immersion for fans of a respective series. Personally I think it would be fun.

That is an interesting idea, admittedly.

 

[tirakai]

Beast Children did reference Act-age in it's first chapter. It's a pretty easy series to crossover with.

Honestly I kind of want that to be a running magazine gag, where every series with a modern setting has the characters go to watch Death Island or Galactic Railroad or something. With Gintama gone and no other gag series ongoing there's nothing that references other WSJ series any more.

 

[SadaH]

I would love to see an Act-Age x Dr Stone crossover.
Mainly because it's 2 of my favorites series, but also because it could be pretty cool to read imo.

I imagine it like this : Senku & co revive Yonagi, Chiyoko, Kuroyama, ect in order to bring back cinema in the world/enjoy a nice movie. To do so, Senku and his team would have to make some cinema/theater tools (light, costume, maybe a movie camera).
Yonagi's team would have some acting challenges, they have to adapt to a «stone world audience» (and I want to see some interactions between Dr Stone characters and Act-Age characters).

It could be fun and unexpected.

 

[Thores]

Would Samurai 8 x Boruto count?

It'd probably be kind of silly, but it's also probably inevitable if Samurai 8 lasts for at least a year.

 

[Halloween]

Guys, I'd like to inform everyone about the cosplay thread in this section. I just revived it with an image of Power from Chainsawman.

I encourage everyone, if they choose, to post WSJ cosplay there.

Discussion - The Cosplay Thread

Hey guys! It seems like there's at least a few of us out there who have an interest in cosplay, so why don't we discuss? Let's set down some rules first though: -Larger images must be put as a link and not directly posted (mostly because there are some cosplays out there that scare the...
