Mag Talk Weekly Young Jump (2007 - 2021)

Well, you'd need people to do all the jobs. But it's a lot of work. I've had a bunch of stuff I've wanted to do but didn't have enough people to actually get it done.

Speaking of which, I have a new group I'll be doing 81 Diver with, and they seem like they'll do fine.

I notice nobody is Editing Nejimaki Kagyu why is that? I have raws.

I'd translate it if I weren't terrible at Japanese, and therefore need a furigana crutch. Right now it would take me a while to crawl through a chapter. I have all four volumes now myself, and may go on to get five.

Renjûrô Kindaichi will start a new serie in Young Jump #28 (07/06). Title is Arumi-chan no Gakushûchô.

The Hare Guu artist? Interesting. I wonder what this will be about?

 

[wintercry]

Living Dead-ish kind of theme. Zombie, perhaps? Whatever the case it seems interesting.

It is the right rating?

[Kaiten]

Looks like a table of contents, something I personally can't confirm. If it is do remember that Weekly Young Jump has no connection to Weekly Shounen Jump, other than having the same publisher. Young Jump is intended for an audience up to ten years older than Shounen Jump, there is not necessarily any connection between business practices. There is no guarantee that Young Jump orders there TOC based on fan poll rankings. They certainly do not cancel as many series as Shounen Jump, nor start as many new series per year. Even if the TOC is ranked by popularity, the ranking may not hold any meaning.

I do not know if Young Jump's TOC is a ranking but. I do not think it is, assuming the above list is the TOC. The most popular series in the magazine are clearly evenly spaced between the front, middle, and back. Usogui, Contach, and Kingdom are near the front. Zetman and Tough are near the middle. 81 Diver, REAL, and Rozen Maiden are near the back.

 

[kewl0210]

Yeah, I tended to notice that when I was subscribing to Young Jump from fujisan.com last year. A lot of popular or fairly popular series often end up in the back or the middle and some just shoot all over the place. Liar Game is often in the back, too. There's less of a stress about TOC position in YJ. That, or the people voting for the positions don't read the same things people buy. I mean, REAL sells a million copies a volume, so it should be fairly clear something is up.

 

[Kaiten]

It reminds me of Weekly Shounen Magazine, either the TOC is not based on fan polls or the manga the magazine readers vote for are different than what they buy. Looking at a few weeks worth of lists it seems that each series is always in the same part of the magazine, never moving more than a spot up or down. That's not even considering that some of the most popular YJ Comics are not weeklies. I'm sure WYJ collects fan polls, there may be manga magazines that do not, but I have never heard of one. I wouldn't be surprised if fan polls played some role in maintaining serialization, not as much as Shounen Jump, how magazines really does?

 

[Ikzer]

That isn't the actual ToC, only the series present on the magazine. I mean, they are not ordered, just listed. I couldn't find the real ToC, I'm looking for it yet.

It was kind of obvious. If you look carefully, that list is in Japanese alphabetical order.

Yeah. I know It, You know It. But not necessarily everyone here knows It, that's why I pointed It.

How is that obvious to anyone who can not read Japanese.

Btw Nakayama drew a parody of Gantz using characters of Nejimaki Kagyu for the Gantz Omnibus:

 

[Kaiten]

How I wish Gantz really looked like that

There are three WJY series [I know of] with permanent, irregular serialization:

• Rozen Maiden: monthly serialization
• REAL: bi-monthly
• Gantz: bi-weekly

To compensate for fewer chapters, Real has longer chapters, each between 35 - 40p long. As of chapter 37, Rozen Maiden chapters are usually around 30p, to compensate for having fewer chapters a year. Gantz chapters are usually 20p, sometimes a little longer.

Yes, I noticed that this is the usual list from which you can learn from how the series will be colored pages, or who have a break.
Maybe that's true ranking

• REAL: bi-monthly

To compensate for fewer chapters, Real has longer chapters, each between 35 - 40p long.

every two month and then only 40 chapters? feels like a eternity till it will finish.

 

[Ikzer]

Gantz is published once every two weeks and so it's Zetman, except recently because the anime.

 

[k-dom]

According to the japanese wikipedia page Ohanyu and Beshari are also permanent irregular series. Zetman is labelled as monthly so I don't know which one is true
