The "Shueisha" Thread

Jacko, I might be wrong but Psyren 126 is not out yet so how can it end in the bottom 5?

These are the bottom 5 for next weeks issue.

And Kuroko's being pushed so hard because the editors REEEEEEALLY want a sports manga in the magazine. Too bad nobody outside editorial fucking likes it.

I happen to like Kuroko >_< It's better than some of the other bullshit. But Metallica and Shikku are definitely gone, it's just a matter of time. I hope Sket Dance goes back up. Maybe Psyren at least to get a few more chapters, since it's falling off a bit now anyway.

[Dark Lord Zenigame]

Sket Dance has been in the same situation as Psyren, yo-yoing in the charts. I'm not too worried about it, but this is Jump.

I thought Mx0 was safe too back in the day, but then it got killed out of nowhere.

Even if you've had support, a few weeks consistently at the bottom for a known series is doom for it. Mx0 was just unfortunate with what happened, combined with all that was happening in '08 anyway that just pushed it out. (remember: '07 was pretty much a DOA year so it was able to last a bit before the '08 series stormed it out of town)

Metalika is generic shit shonen adventure at it's worst, it certainly deserves it's cancellation.

Kinda liked Shonen Shikku, though. Ah well.

[No Maam]

I would say give it a little more time , to see if anything actualy interesting shows up during the exam .

I mean the person behind it had to get some ideas first and had to present them to get this greenlighted to.....I stil have hope .

It's no Eyeshield 21.

I also hope that MinerXMiner gets cancelled as soon as possible.

TOC for the week:

Oumagadoki Doubutsuen (Lead Color and Cover)
One Piece
Naruto
Bakuman
Reborn
SWOT (Color Page)
Gintama
Nurarihyon no mago
Bleach (Color Page)
Toriko
Belzeebub
Inumaru dashi
Hokenshitsu no Shinigami
Kochikame (Color Page)
Medaka Box
Sket Dance
Psyren
Metallica Metalluca
Kuroko no Basket
Shonen Shikku
Jaguar (can't forget that)

There really does seem to be a lot of organization this week between "top of magazine" and "bottom"...which is a shame but unfortunately it happens. Bakuman taking third is surprising though.

[Gokuyuske]

I wanted Toriko to beat Bleach...maybe next time.

[Sakonosolo]

Why did OP stop doing color pages? Besides the spreads.

[Silverblade]

When did One Piece have ones? Chapter 1 and chapter 300? It was never a habit. Besides, colourspreads are fun as it is.

[No Maam]

On the other hand colour pages could help prevent the anime fucking up colour schemes on some characters , that is , unless they finaly have the bright idea to ASK ODA FIRST .

And I stil have hope for Metallica , I realy hope 8 is gonna be where it starts showing some new stuff .

[Adamant]

Why did OP stop doing color pages? Besides the spreads.

"Color pages" means "spread" unless it's the very first chapter, where the first story page is colored as well. It's not One Piece that stopped doing notable amounts of color pages, it's the magazine as a whole.

[No Maam]

But OP hasn't gotten one in nearly 300 chapters , whereas Bleach just had one , so......

[Adamant]

Haven't seen that particular chapter yet, so can't say FOR SURE, but I guess that "color page" Bleach had was the title page. One Piece had color pages/a spread in issue 28.

[maxterdexter]

But OP hasn't gotten one in nearly 300 chapters , whereas Bleach just had one , so......

Aizen's skin having color in an otherwise completely white page...

I don't like the jump color pages that aren't color spreads, they seem silly and out of tone from the rest of the magazine.

[Dark Lord Zenigame]

As nice as Kubo's random fashion pose colorspreads can be, I like it a lot more when it's actually pages of the actual chapters that just happen to be in color.

It just looks really fucking nice, too bad it's VERY rarely done.

Same goes for the last time it was done in Naruto, Kishimoto's art actually looked nice for the two or so pages that the color lasted for.

[GEPPETTOSMONSTER]

I like color pages and spreads.

[GaaraofTheDesert]

Whats SWOT ?
Edit never mind I found it in Mangafox.

[Keo2309]

Psyren, bottom 5 again... no surprise. Although, I do want Sket Dance to rise up again, it's really quite hilarious. Good to see Bleach dropping though. My hopes of it finally ending may come to fruition. New series will probably suck... I see MineaXMinea (it fits so well...) and Shonen ending soon. Medaka will probably be on it's way out soon too, Kuroko as well. Yay, One Piece is basically the top, minus the new series. Besides that, nothing major.
