cisneros posted:Does Shonen Jump own cancelled mangas? I've heard of some mangas changing magazines, but never Shonen Jump ones. I'm sure it's less that (though I could totally see Shueisha's contract pretty much demanding the surrendering of all rights through time immemorial) and more "if you ever want to work for the grand mighty JUMP ever again, you'll loving well not sell your comic to any other publisher for continuation".

So a new Jump Manga pop'd up. Hime Doll: a comedy about a Media High School (?) the main character being a hairdresser in the making who's coerced into helping the local Yankee Queen in her dream of becoming an Idol against her father (Who's some sort of Ex-Yakuza Gym Meathead) wishes. It looks interesting and might do something with the formula but I'm just dreading the moment it gets Medaka'd because it can only have battles as a secondary concern Because, goddamnit, if the police girl manga can get shitcanned (albeit with a reinstation) what is safe these days?.

Yep, that was some fine Akamatsu related shenanigans there. Was sort of wondering if it'd turn out that Touya was a werewolf or something but no this works too. And, yeah, I suppose if the person fixing Chachamaru is long gone, she was probably not much longer for the world either though I would be more than happy to be proven wrong by that.

Ytlaya posted:Seven Sins is a really high quality shounen series. It probably won't be considered a classic or anything, but it just has much better art/action/setting than you usually see in battle shounen manga. Whilst AoT has clout as the big number attraction I really hope Crunchyroll put Sins as their second/third (given UQ) big hitter for the manga service. The fact it's one of the few series with all it's chapters up helps a load.

Ytlaya posted:Good god, that is incredibly violent for a children's series (which it is, since it won some Kodansha award in the children's category). Bones sticking out of severed limbs and entrails being torn out of folks left and right. As a frame of reference. Animal Land runs in the same anthology as Attack on Titan (and XXX-Holic Rei so you can't win them all), Best Shounen, following Raiku's little bust up with Shougakugan involving his poo poo somehow getting lost in transit from artist table to printing press. Kodansha itself got itself involved in that song and dance with Takeouchi with one of her post Sailor Moon series and is part and parcel why she faffs the whole affair off and just manages Sailor Moon as an IP and not getting her lazy slob of a husband to either poo poo or get off pot as far as Hunter x Hunter is concerned. This might be part of why Animal Land and Sailor Moon are not available digitally in spite of Kodansha's gun-ho attitude on the matter which is a massive pain in the balls and gives scanlators/pirates an out to keep on keeping on.

First chapter of elDLIVE (Reborn Mangaka's new work) is up and it's clear why it took so long to get it translated; It's in full color. Looks good but drat if this doesn't feel rushed in spite of being over 50 pages.

Oh don't get me wrong, I get the field of Japanese Comic writing is deplorable as is with it's 2 hour sleep work schedules (That number is probably not accurate) but Togashi's own work ethic is outright disgusting and the fact that that he continues to have a free ride makes WSJ a joke.

Allarion posted:Well he does do some work as an editor for other manga, so he's not completely just wasting time presumably. Togashii's lenient contract only came about due to Yuu Yuu Hakusho's rushed ending, and probably came up again once he was basically submitting scribbles for the weekly magazine. It's possible he's basically using his lenient time to do batches. Course, if you're feeling pessimistic about it, he could also be just resting on his and his wife's laurels since all their manga series were super successful. Regardless the fact remains if anyone else did that (which is to say submit chicken scratchings, then constantly go on hiatus) they would be fired on the spot (as is right and proper) and it's distressing seeing good manga cut in their prime (Double Arts, MxO, the one about the Zoo that fought other zoos I can't mind the name of) whilst Togashi gets a free ride and the person who did Double Arts is now 100+ chapters into a half baked Orange Road rip-off (-psychics, pretend to + Mobsters but not really) that, by all rights, shouldn't have mustered 50.

But from the things he wrote in his author's notes back during YYH it really does come across like he was at a breaking point and Jump forced him to go over that.

Well, this is a lot like if you mashed together Pacific Rim with the human-transformation thing from Attack on Titan, and put it through a Shonen Jump wringer of sparkles and boyish optimism: Kiriwo Terrible.

AnonSpore posted:Why do people keep saying Jump didn't recognize Attack on Titan's potential or whatever? They said it was a good series when Isayama brought it to them, but they turned it down because it didn't fit with Jump's themes. Which is completely correct. Jump's motto is Friendship, Effort, Victory; you can argue that Death Note didn't fit that motto and was still a big hit anyway, but it was a massive gamble even with an established artist assisting a writer who had at least done one work before, whereas Attack on Titan is Isayama's first work period. Hands in the air, I Mistook the phrase "Put through a Shoenen Jump Wringer" to mean it's being run in Jump as opposed to Sunday so yeah, that was my bad. And you say that about AoT not fitting Jump and what have you but I'm pretty sure that's of little solace to the family of the dood who had final say on AoT running in Jump.

Literally The Worst posted:But One Piece and Toriko are in WSJ, poo poo is worth 25 cents a week right there. I'd be happy to have Seraph of the End and Blue Exorcist but that drip's done and we're back to a monthly schedule for those and it does not feel nice to pay money (as little as it is) for chapter after chapter of Naruto and Bleach refusing to die (their spot on the Knacker cart having been long booked) Nisekoi being what I can only call a grudge-gently caress (you don't go from Double Arts to Nisekoi accidently) and World Trigger just putzing around with a war that's gone on since the start of the year when there's parallel worlds just there open to be be explored whilst I'm here waiting for Seraph and Exorcist. And just so I knowledge it, YuGiOh is post original run YuGiOh so who cares and HxH. I dunno if that speaks to the quality of Monthlies over Weeklies (One Piece and Non Jump Weeklies such as UQ Holder suggest otherwise) or to the quality of Jump's output but I'm paying good cash here and I'm wondering if it's better to just get CR's offerings even though they're ultimately more immaterial in terms of back issue retention.

Allarion posted:It's nice to see that Narita keeps up his usual trend of having a morally grey cast in Stealth Symphony, even if it did start off pretty standard shonen at the beginning. That assassin was as good as his word. Wish the manga had more time to build up its cast more, since I always liked Baccano and Durarara for building up a fairly varied cast of characters, but it seems Stealth Symphony is rushing towards its ending. What a waste of a good comic. I'm beginning to think my £2 is better spent elsewhere. ConanThe3rd fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Jul 8, 2014 |

So, in no particular order; the Kenshin chapter told us Shishio is a prick (in other news water is wet), World Trigger is doing nothing, Hunter X Hunter and Nisekoi exist and Stealth Symphony just ends with a wet, chunky, underwear destroying, yet somehow unrelieving shart. Yeah, I'm done with Jump alpha. It's been a wild year but that's a 8 pack of Irn Bru a month and, unlike Jump, Irn Bru gets you through.

Serious Frolicking posted:I think that stealth symphony could have been something special if it had had time to subtly introduce Sieg's steadily decaying sanity instead of dumping everything together at once. Oh well, time for more shinsengumi wankery. The problem is completely in what magazine it was published in. The same comic rag whose "greatest" line this week was, paraphrased, "You stink of semen". If Stealth Symphony ran in any other anthology, it would still be running. Also, I'll guarantee you now that the superhero one is next.

Allarion posted:It wouldn't be too surprising given his last few series didn't last long either. Course then again, he could strike gold and have Nisekoi-levels of success. It's just a nature of the business that unpopular or unmarketable things tend to get shafted unless they're a favorite of the higher ups. This is true of Western media as well. But you are right that Jump is stricter than other Japanese magazines so Stealth Symphony probably could have done better in another magazine. Jump just puts up this image to me that anything that's remotely interesting and not a battle manga (Souma being the noted exception and OP beging the one battle manga I don't mind) is doomed to the two volume gently caress you treatment regardless where everything sits at the end of the day. Just to point one example that's not HxH (for once) Bleach has been farting in the lower half of the rankings for years now and the cartoon's done so the gently caress is it being allowed to spend years writing up it's finalé? More to the point why wasn't it's cheap rip off of the Chapter Black story arc not it's finale? ConanThe3rd fucked around with this message at 10:22 on Jul 15, 2014 |
