Weekly Shonen Jump - ToCs and Discussion

[damnz]

And so I'm opening this thread hoping to gather a few Jump-fans/followers/tards and discuss the past, present and future of this awesome magazine that feeds us with great shonens weekly.

The Table of Contents of the Issue #35 (28/07)

Naruto (Cov & Color page)
One Piece
Bleach
Mago
Reborn
Gintama (CP)
Toriko
Bari Haken
To Love Ru
Yushagaku (END)
Eyeshield 21
Kochikame

Double Arts
Neuro
Psyren
Dogashi Kaden
Jaguar

Issue #36 (04/08)
Toriko (Cov & Color Page)
Naruto (CP)
Captain Tsubasa (One Shot)


I didn't expect Dogashikaden to fall to the last position (which means it's coming to the end soon...?), and Psyren and Doublearts almost the same. Quite sad to see Yushagaku ending so soon, I hope some scanlator gets out of the blue and brings Yusha's scans someday. Also, I'm pretty surprised to see "Fc Barcelone" in a manga's title, that's pretty lame in my opinion...

And wut, Toriko is getting another cover so soon. Jumps' editors got to love it


Past ToCs can be found here.

Hello =)

I think it will be interesting to know in advance what series are going to be in the week's issue. I will update this post weekly and add the series + the cover.

Note that the series are listed in the order in which they are in the Shonen Jump.
As we can see, Psyren and Bakuman are low in the list, and the top 3 is logical since OP isn't on this week^^

Notice that HxH is low as well...

And why is Toriko getting the cover of such an "special" issue? I hope Bakuman and Psyren get a better position next week.. japanese fans/Jump editors really have a weird taste. Does that mean that Mago or Sket-Dance volumes are selling better than Psyren's? :|

I guess the only (but still amazing) thing, is that Jaguar is not in the bottom :|

[KanzakiUrusei]

Well.. if you find it interesting, here is the list of the most sold manga this week in Japan.

1 - Hunter X Hunter Vol.26
2 - Worst Vol.21
3 - Bleach Vol.35
4 - To Loveru Vol.11
5 - Baki Son of Ogre Vol.15
6 - Soten no ken Vol.19 - Ken fist of the blue sky
7 - Vampire knight Vol.8
8 - Shinjuku Swan Vol.15
9 - Rosario + vampire Season II Vol.2
10 - D.C 2 - Da Kapo Vol.3

And Toriko is an EXELLENT manga, perhaps the next big thing in the WSJ ^^

[Perverted Pirate]

Toriko is an EXELLENT manga

Based on your awesome sig and sexy Av I'll take your word for it *begins reading*

Bakuman isn't that low...It's lower middle...Still it needs to do better T_T

Never read Psyren so that can die for all I care

200th issue...Wow I thought I'd been reading it for quite awhile, I stand corrected!

[fxu]

The thread should be renamed to Weekly Shounen Jump ToC or something like that.

Toriko blows... if it's as good as it shows week after week, then volume sales will reflect that in november/december.

If not, it's editor love. I'll be waiting.

Also, Inumaru... sigh. Here we are... another Maison Du Penguin... FUCK YOU JUMP. SERIOUSLY, FUCK YOU.

/thread merged with the previous Jump ToC thread.

Personally, I think Toriko is just up because the editors like it, not because of the fandom. I like it, but lower-ranked mangas in the Jump are actually way better. About Inumaru, yeah, I hope it doesn't stay long, as well as Asklepios and Chagecha, these new mangas don't seem to have too much potential.

[Jinoh]

Toriko is a cool manga though

[KanzakiUrusei]

I think the same about Asklepios. It didn't find it that interesting.. but beware.. Japanese taste is strange (Psyren get to the top ASAP!! ^^)

damnz, for all I know, the order in the WSJ is based on the readers votes.. so if Toriko is in the top 3, it's got to have a strong fanbase ^^

Toriko's mangaka is a sexual predator. Trying to lure 16 year old-girls... pfff... GO BACK TO JAIL AND GET OFF MY TOC
