Well said. Could it be Murata needs Inagaki?

 

[[Cross]]

Well, if that's the case, then it doesn't bode well for Murata's potential to get a solo reputation. This new one-shot would probably be another chance to prove himself, if it doesn't do well, then it won't do well for his chances of getting serialized in the near future.

Well said. Could it be Murata needs Inagaki?

Well Obata tried it with blue dragon and failed. Maybe the same goes for murata. Some artist can draw good but they can't tell a story. They just need a storyteller ^^ Look at bakuman

 

[StrangerAtaru]

Murata probably could just become an "artist for hire" like Obata and a few others, but I guess he just wants to break out of Inagaki's shadow with ES21 so close to over. Considering how much Jump has confidence in him, I guess that's why he feels this way.

Obata didn't write Blue Dragon. o______o

The only manga Obata wrote was Cyborg Jii-chan.

He was refering to the fact that Obata tried to "break away" from Ohba and the result was a flop.

Of course, the series which is the biggest success of all those he's worked on was written by Hotta. It's not that he needs Ohba, he just needs a writer who can produce something that's actually good.

 

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

Hikaru no Go was bigger than Death Note? I didn't know that. I was aware that it started a huge Go phase in Asia though...


ps. I just looked at Madofuki park. I did not like it, but I don't see how it qualifys as action (especially when dealing with a magazine like Jump).

Though, it can't really be Obata's fault, I mean it was the story not the art that flopped.

 

[The Adamant Dragon]

Glad we'll get 2 Chapters for One-Piece in the double issue before Golden Week. But I was wondering if other Mangas aside OP have been comfirmed to release 2 chapters, 'cause last year some Mangas didn't release 2 chapters for GW even if they were expected to. (My main interest is to know about D.Gray-Man and Naruto )

Ps: Sorry if the question has already been Answered.

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

2 chapters of OP in one issue? where did you get that from? interesting.

Double issue doesn't mean two chapters at the same time so you can probably forget about Naruto.

Thank you deidara, I was referring as you said: he tried to "break away", etc

Sorry to say so: but Obata has been succesfull with Ohba twice now with Death Note and Bakuman. I won't judge Obata since his art is very good (to awesome) but he's definitely the guy who needs a storyteller

Hmm, After giving this week's WJS Preview to a translator here at MH, aside beelzbub who gets 25 pages, + color pages it seems it says nothing special, but it was stated in a comfirmed spoiler at NF, though. So I'm not sure anymore.

As for Naruto:

Spoiler: Spoilers ahead

Yeah, I know. And kishi is lazy anyway, but one can only hope right?

It'll sure be agonizing to wait 2 weeks to see how Nagato will go down... and I'm eager to know Naruto's answer. I hate Golden Week...

 

[xi0]

A Double Issue doesn't equal two chapters. Anthologies are always within a certain size range (pages) and if every series...or even half for that matter, put out double the the amount it would be a huge problem.

 

[Sexy Randal 105]

I really hope Naoshi comes back with something this round.

#25 (18/05) :
New series Amano Yoichi/Suikoden

 

[[Cross]]

Woah, so there we have it, the end of Bokke. But there's a new series the week after that, and then another after that, should we assume that Hoop Men is sorta safe considering the space created by Bokke and Neuro for two new series, or is there a possibility for a third new series. But man, Hoop didn't just bomb, it straight out tanked. And Bleach as well as Kuroko get more colour pages, cheers. Even moreso, cheers for Medaka Box getting serialized, I might scanlate the oneshot, since it's gotten my interest now.

 

[Kaiten]

Medaka Box gets serialized!! Cool. I've wanted to read the one shot for a long time, looks really good. Amano Yoichi sounds really familiar, I feel like theirs a one shot I'm forgetting <_<

 

[¬Bol]

Hey but, when the hell is HxH supposed to come back?
I'm sure Suikoden will be a great series because of the author's surname (lol), but I'd really like to read 10 chapters of HxH...

However I'm happy Bokke ending, I couldn't stand that manga.
