So I've been reading a kinda old-ish one. Diamond Delinquent/ Kongoh Banchou has been a pretty fun Fist of the North Star but in High School manga. Remembered a screen cap of someone wandering into a house holding either a car or motorcycle and so I went looking for it.

I guess someone went back and licensed it after Seven Deadly Sins got popular. Which is good! It's the better series anyway.

How the gently caress is ayashimon on the bottom, jump card responders must have poo poo taste

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:How the gently caress is ayashimon on the bottom, jump card responders must have poo poo taste Yeah, it's always near the bottom for some reason (along with Shugomaru, which has a clearer reason to be at the bottom as a one-joke gag manga - unless it's improved since I last read it, which I doubt). Fortunately the author of Ayashimon seems to be moving the story towards a natural conclusion; hopefully they'll let it finish instead of cancelling it. Maruo got a powerup, the protagonists took over the Todoroki Alliance, the Enma Syndicate took out the B-Star Host Club, and now the protagonists are fighting the Kori Hotel. That leaves just the fight against the Enma Syndicate after this. Silver2195 fucked around with this message at 03:13 on May 4, 2022 |

Hopefully Shugomaru is providing the other series with a cushion against cancellation, then. What really baffles me is that Blue Box, the series where nothing ever happens, still remains in the middle of the pack. I guess it's relatable to the target audience in a way that provides a contrast to the overt escapism of the other manga?

Blue Box is def a strong middle-of-the-pack style manga. it's unlike anything that's been in the lineup recently or since and offers a nice breather among everything else, plus there's not really any week where i've not found it pleasant. i guess it wouldn't surprise me if Ayashimon's rather flat start hurt it, and sometimes thems the breaks even if you start to hit interesting or funny beats like we have since Maruo put the Todoroki Alliance in line. toc tea leaves seem pointless to me though! the real exciting news is definitely Mashle heading towards a conclusion

oh, and Shugomaru would've gotten my full-throated support something like three weeks ago? but it has really been in a rut with this new secondary cast of horrible children. if having one or two laughs a chapter is enough to keep a gag manga going i think it can muddle through until it hits another hot streak.

Silver2195 posted:Hopefully Shugomaru is providing the other series with a cushion against cancellation, then. Blue Box has gorgeous art, likable characters, and astounding sales figures. It's the opposite of a mystery that it's doing well. And things are slowly happening. Hina's admitted that she likes Taiki, Taiki and Chinatsu have lost the big tournaments they were in, and Chinatsu is realizing that she is interested in Taiki, with their struggles to figure out how to express their feelings without making it awkward forming the center of the manga, step by step. It's low-key, but it's one of my favorites in Jump right now. (It also has the advantage of being very distinct from everything else in Jump. If you like action, you'll probably vote for MHA, Jujutsu, or Sakamoto, making it harder for Ayashimon to get on the card. Meanwhile, if you like romance and low-key interpersonal stories, then Blue Box is the only game in town.)

I guess more stuff has been happening in it lately; fair enough. But it definitely went through a phase where almost every chapter ended with either a cliffhanger that went nowhere or one of the protagonists losing a mostly-offscreen game.

HSF hasn't been doing much with its romances, the art is solidly serviceable, and its likeable characters are all turned up to 11 vs BB having pretty grounded normal teens

Remember the ToS isn't a ranking system. Sometimes they put stuff in different parts of the book for any number of various reasons.

I don't have anything against SEW but those videos tend to feed into several really dumb perceptions about SJ that crop up all the time even in this thread, like the ToC order being popularity rankings.

CodfishCartographer posted:Super Eyepatch Wolf's new State of Shonen Jump vid just dropped I still love that the same week Nine Dragons (finally) had a DRAMATIC BASEBALL SHOWDOWN, Me and Roboco also had a dramatic baseball showdown, that was much better at being a baseball manga, while also being a ridiculous barrage of gags. Just such a show of dominance. Gorilla Gachi is seldom so savage.

Is there some semi-official source for how the Shonen Jump ToC actually works? Because it seems to be conventional wisdom that it's basically popularity rankings, with some exceptions like manga with color pages not being ranked.

Bakuman tends to be the common basis for the assumptions. It has a lot about how other factors go into the TOC (different editors have different taste, you might want to close with a gag or keep the pervier stuff deep in the manga, one bad week isn't enough to move a winning title to the back) that people tend to minimize, but from interviews and past cancellations it seems that it's a decent metric for us to see behind the scenes, as far as it goes. Sure, you get exceptions, but in general, a title that's doing well in the TOC is doing well in reader surveys, and a title doing poorly in the TOC is doing poorly on reader surveys.

Supposedly MangaPlus views are taken into consideration for survival/anime adaptations/etc. Also who the gently caress is Oda kidding? Being at the back of the magazine as anything but a gag manga is death. We've seen it over and over and over.

People seem to really love Blue Box, but I just get stuck on the fact that it's about middle school-aged kids, not in like a weird way but in a "struggling to take the romantic emotions of children seriously" way. How do you get past that wall? CAN you get past it?

Yeah Blue box works as like a semi realistic take on it, like people have mostly human realistic reactions to poo poo.

Taiki is too much of a dweeb for it to be very serious imo. i wouldn't say i'm invested in the romance and its progress so much as i'm invested in seeing the characters bounce around and finding them entertaining

Any perception Jump puts out is on them for being the most inexplicable comic editoral this side of Marvel. And to be fair to SWE he used a far more solid metric this time. That of GN sales. The only problem with that is that numbers only come out several weeks after the first TOCs. ConanThe3rd fucked around with this message at 08:25 on May 8, 2022 |

usually the best metric is volume sales, though sometimes something weird goes on behind the scenes and a manga that sells well still gets canned.

chiasaur11 posted:They're high-schoolers, not middle schoolers. I mean if we really want to be realistic with it, most high school relationships don't last amyways so the point still stands  Really my main gripe with the romance is it me wr goes anywhere. I get that romance series kind of need that to happen, they're often build on the will-they-won't-they thing. But it's just so old and tires that I can't really get invested despite liking the characters. Every time the series tries to build tension with the romance, I just don't care cus I know it's not going to pay it off. Granted I haven't read the last 5 or 6 chapters, maybe something has developed in that time?
