The only thing that bugs me about this move is that DGM is sharing the same space as that Shin Prince of Tennis nonsense.

It felt so good to see DGM on the same list as the popular stuff like One Piece... Ah well.

Didn't it share space with Prince of Tennis in WSJ from 2004 - 2008 anyway? Claymore, Tegami Bachi, Rosario to Vampire, Kure Nai, Shiki, and Ao no Exorcist are pretty good company to keep.

Which reminds me, why is it on the WSJ website, then, anyway? Won't they just have to remove it after this?

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

I assume they will. The move hasn't been officially announced yet. I assume it won't be until Akamaru comes out on Monday. Until then DGM remains a WSJ series. Also, I somehow expect the SQ version to be treated as a separate entity. Just as PoT started over at volume 1 chapter 1, despite starting right where the original left off, DGM will probably relaunch in November. The Akamaru chapter will either be an unnumbered prelude or chapter 1. Volume 1 - 18 will remain in WSJ's listing. That's just speculation, I kind of have a feeling that's how they'll do it.

There are chapters that haven't been put into a volume, though, and I don't know if it'd be enough even with the Akamaru chapter. Wonder what they'd do about that.

Personally, I hope that's not the case - but then, I'm hoping the SQ thing is only temporary, so... =/ Not like my hopes are based on reality, unfortunately.

Yeah, I guess the others do kinda match up with DGM, but Shin PoT is just horrible. (I'm referring to the new version of PoT btw)

Jump SQ's series are darker than WSJ and usually more violent (except shin POT). It's the perfect home for D.Gray-man.

I think the move works out well for Hoshino. Hopefully she can keep a regular schedule with SQ and get the series back on pace.

It's not horrible, and it's not really much different than the old series (aside from the fact that there's only been 11 chapters so far, making it difficult to compare to the 42 volume original series)

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

The chapter in Akamaru is numbered 187 if you look at the CP. The reason for putting in Akamaru was probably so Hoshino could create enough material to fill up the current volume (I'm guessing). This gives credence to Kaiten's suggestion that the series in SQ will most likely be a relaunch...meaning it'll start from chapter one. There might even be a change to the title. If they did it I doubt it would be something as innocuous as "Shin D.Gray-man" though.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

I think it's for the best for D.Gray to make this move to JumpSQ. For once, someone who knows that they can't keep up with weekly manga has moved to someplace more to their suiting. It's not the first time it's happened (the slow movement of Bastard to seinen via Akamaru, Dogashi Kaiden more recently), but I think this is for the best for Hoshino and may stabilize the magazine a bit.

 

[Rejuvenation]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Many of us called the move to SQ. I feel the monthly chapters more or less even out if she needs to go on hiatus so much just to do a weekly series. Hopefully this will be easier on her health-wise. Look forward to the new chapters. I'm glad she realized that monthly would be best for her and ultimately best for the series as well.

And to whoever said Shin PoT is horrible, I agree with you. XD

Why do I feel like I know what mangaka your referring to? Why do I feel like moving to a monthly wouldn't help Dude seems like Hiramaru from Bakuman, any excuse not to draw.

But... D. Gray-man IS popular. It can outsell almost anything from any magazine other than Weekly Shonen Jump. Even by Jump standards, it was on the upper end of the second tier.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Hey, were there any news for Eyeshield 21 lately? Cause there was an article on wiki saying that, "A one chapter special has been announced for a December 2009 release, it will cover the back stories of characters Shin, Rikku and Gaoh among others."
So I was pretty curious.

All in all, a good week. The top 10 are filled by Jump comics, I'm especially glad about Mago and Toriko. Toriko already surpassed Tora, I think Mago will surpassed Tora in the next volume. Looks like it's still a long way for Psyren.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

I don't know how Kaiten does it every week with the rankings, I can't read a single word of Japanese and it took me an hour to do that ranking list with the help of google and amazon.jp. I thought I would give him a week off or something.

But if you consider that To Love also had out the special dvd bundle volume 15, then you gotta add the sales of that to the regular. Then To Love is still above Toriko this week. But I think it and Mago will pass it soon enough.

 

[Koshi_Inaba]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

I know, I just never consider the DVD bundle because it's bullshit for me. Both will surpassed it soon, Tora is a stagnant series, I don't think it sales will increase unlike Mago and Toriko which fanbase is widening.

 

[Drmke]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

And maybe when their sales do increase, Jump will no longer see a need for To Love and just end it
