In which world is Haikyuu a manga that can stands besides Tsubasa, Kochikame or Dr. Slump. I mean i like Haikyuu but it will be forgotten in 10 years.

>>160349080
please don't be harem-shit again

>>160347870
Really like the color tone on this cover.

>>160347947
OP Covers have gotten boring at this point. They're always overloaded with characters. He needs to focus on specific things. The cover would be much better if it would be only Sanji and Pudding standing in front of each other.

>>160347922
This artist has really great potential. Hope he / she comes out with a better story next time.

>>160349080
All of them except for 8/7 looks generic as hell.

>>160347851
I miss Salmon.

>>160349080
Maybe they should have gotten Salmon and Sesuji.

>>160349080
Wait I recognize the third (31/8) one from a oneshot, iirc correctly it's about climbing/orienteering and exploring.

>>160351752
Ah, Saguri-san Tankentai. Author's the same, looks like he changed title to Saguri-chan Tankentai.

>>160351752
I thought that looked familiar. It was pretty good, so I have slightly more hope now.

>>160349080
>only girls as mcs

>>160352037
just by that fact alone All of them are destined for failure if they run in Shounen jump, but this is Jump+, so who knows

>>160349362
Being popular once a year is meaningless in the overall, Haikyuu is still a bigger seller overall

>>160352229
It's probably more due to the fact HxH will go into a hiatus 2months early if they ask Toga to scribble anything for the cover

>>160350044
Look you total retard, it's based on the era they are currently promoting with their exhibitions, look at the giant text at the bottom of both covers

The 50th anniversary is actually next year, there will still be special covers for the second exhibition and the third and then stuff for the 50th anniversary in general, the creators promoted on the covers are the ones who have been at the exhibition...Haikyuu and One Piece are just the two current best-sellers so that's why they are at the edges to show that Jump is still strong and not all legacy

>>160352006
I dunno. Boku no Pico is very huge right now. I see a fanart every 2 secnds.

>>160352229
Overall? What do you mean?
Haikyuu outsold hunter x hunter or even Slam dunk? When?

>>160352374
>Overall? What do you mean?
That Haikyuu has a competent mangaka who doesn't go on random hiatus'.

If you need a further sort of understanding of the cover, here is a clip from the actual current exhibition where the original creators of these huge manga from the 70's-80's draw some original drawing and then all draw their most famous character on the guy's shirt, all three of them are represented on this cover now, it's not a coincidence, it's a promotion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM2ns5rIHhg

>>160348823
Blue exorcist volumes sold around 800,000 copies during some years (even though now they sell a lot less). HeroAca volumes haven't still reached that level.

>>160352374
That year to year, One Piece and Haikyuu are overall Jump's best-sellers and supporters right now...even if Hunter x Hunter sold twice as much as One Piece, at the rate it comes out, it's not a pillar of Jump, it doesn't support the magazine in any way because it's not in the magazine most of the time and kids who read the magazine may not even know what it is because it just randomly pops in at Chapter 361 deep in the middle of a story

>>160352359
That's just because fujos love it and they draw more than normal people. In reality, the first four volumes of Neverland sold more than the first four of Boku. Fujos make things look very popular, but they buy very little, so it's all false popularity.

>>160352374
Not that dude, but it's obvious that Haikyuu is a bigger franchise for Jump than HxH in the 2010s. All the Haikyuu merchandise i saw last year everywhere in Japan is nuts.

>>160352567
And yet people at the same time blame fujos for many of the best-sellers in modern manga, make up your minds which one it is.

>>160352475
Noone is complaining about those three. Kochikame,Kinnikuman and the delinquint series are all iconic. Its the choice of Haikyuu and Dr.Slump that makes people upset. If they were going for current series HxH or Boruto would've been better and for slump they could have chosen Dragon ball or Slam Dunk.

HxH - Togashi is too lazy to do a cover
Gintama - Already has the live-action movie for promotion
SnS - Is getting a s3
Saiki - Is getting a s2
Everything else in the magazine is too young, on hiatus (WT) or Isobe.

Haikyuu got the cover because it deserves promotion the most right now. It had its worst ranking of the year last week.

No need to overthink it.

>>160352643
>. It had its worst ranking of the year last week.
Do you really think they would decide on and make a cover only one week before release, autismo?

>>160352682
Rankings are from 7 weeks ago.

>>160352612
Are you actually implying Dr. Slump isn't iconic? You do realize it's the reason Dragon Ball is huge? Dragon Ball was already popular before a single chapter had been published because people were so hyped up on Toriyama. He was only allowed to end it on the condition he start a new series.

I suspect Dragon Ball will be represented on the cover they do for the 2nd exhibition since in modern times, it is generally thought of as more of a 90's manga than an 80's one. That is also where Slam Dunk will appear, the cover is for series up to the 80's, Slam Dunk started in the 90's.

Haikyu has already been explained.

>>160352475
>calling Kendo Kobayashi "guy"
get weeb or get out of here

>>160352567
That's bs. Fujos spent a lot more on shows they like than a male fan.
It's just that BNHA kinda failed as the next big shonen after Naruto, even though it had the best promotion you could get. The anime has one of the best times to air you could get nowadays but somehow the show isn't clicking with the japanese audience.
It seems like Japan is over the classic shonen battle manga. When was the last time a battle shonen manga succeeded? Blue Exorcist, Magi? But those are just popular because of the Fujos and not because of the general mainstream audience. BnHa will never be a million seller unfortunately.

>>160352525
>Blue exorcist volumes sold around 800,000 copies during some years
gonna need a sauce for that fampai

>>160352755
Oh so thats how they're doing it? I understand it a bit more now. I thought each series on the cover was supposed to represent a different era

I wanted to start a translation of this classic in honor of the upcoming 50th anniversary but unfortunately my Japanese is still way too weak, I hope these events make people more interested in translating the classics everyone's modern favorites were inspired by

>>160352612
Boruto sells less than several other series in WSJ and is monthly, meanwhile Haikyuu is the third biggest series in the magazin, if you only focus on sales.

>>160352567
Bnha 4 vol. 1.500.000 copies
TPN 4 vol. 1.100.000 copies

Bnha is no OP, but is far from being a forgettable small success.

>>160349080

8/7 mite b cool

>>160352755
What about FOTNS? That's an 80's manga but it was skipped over

>>160352612
Dr. Slump anime averaged higher ratings than DB anime. In fact, one episode (Can't remember which one) had a 35% tv rating and is third most watched anime episode of all time. You're underestimating the popularity of Dr. Slump.

>>160352843
Yes, if you look at the covers, that bottom text where it says 80'sレジェンド, it means 80's Legends

It's focused on a particular era, the reason Otoko is represented is because its by far the biggest series of that early era before 1976-1977 so they use it to represent the whole thing because Jump is just too big at this point to represent all eras properly without having like ten different covers or making the characters really small like they did for the 40th

>>160352567
>because fujos love it
Nah, I'm living in a fujo country, where 90% of titles published need to have some sort of fujobait, yet there is no BnHA in sight.

>>160349080
http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/saguri-san-tankentai-r20509

Saguri-san, is basically the new Dagashikashi, Golden Kamui, Hataraku Saibou...

dude hanging out with cute girl while dumping info about the premise meanwhile the mangaka teases "will they get together or won't they, every now and then"

I like this kind of manga

>>160353051
Yeah I got Otoko. I had no idea what the series even was until an anon from a week or two ago took the time out of their day to explain it but it does sound like a fascinating tale. It definitely deserves its spotlight.

>>160353181
>Golden Kamui
I think it's vastly different from Saguri and Dagashi.

>>160353031
That one also confuses me, if the next cover will be "Golden Age", Hokuto no Ken is generally considered to have kicked off that era, but it never made it to the 90's (unlike most of the other big ones) so it would sort of be a loophole if they represented it there

The only thing that really makes that weird is just that Saint Seiya is represented on this cover instead of Ring ni Kakero, because if it was Ring ni Kakero, then all of the six series on here would be huge classics that started BEFORE Hokuto no Ken and then the next one could all be ones that started after the Golden Age began but I suspect if they do six series again for the next one it'll include Hokuto no Ken, Slam Dunk, Dragon Ball, Rokudenashi Blues and City Hunter

>>160347801
I thought by this time the seniors in Haikyuu would have graduated. Glad to see best boy is still around.

>>160353257
Yeah that makes sense. Wonder if it just had something to do with the rights on why they chose Sieya instead of Kakero

>>160353308
Maybe, but I would have thought it would be the reverse, it's the same author and Ring ni Kakero and Ring ni Kakero 2 were both published at Shueisha but all of Saint Seiya's sequels including ones that are still ongoing are at other publishers like Akita Shoten

>>160347611
I wish Arale were drawn with those proportions more often. I really dislike her DB crossover design.

>>160353292
What are you talking about? It's a sports manga, it will end when they graduate. They are still having the most boring match of the series and aren't even facing any titans of the Nationals yet, though the next match will be the one with their rivals so technically the series could end with that match or the one after or it could do the unprecedented and have it skip to the next year but I doubt Furudate even wants to work that hard

>>160353250
I know, I was just breaking down the formula and simplifying it my dude

now that I think about it, Dr. Stone fits in the category too

>>160353428
I imagine Haikyuu has around two more years at least to go. I really doubt the editors want it to end when its so popular. At least until robot lazer takes off I can't see it ending

>>160352824
Not really. S1 was really slow, only 13 episodes and nichigo was at the end. Just look how S2 was more praised. More fights, more characters, good tv rankings (top 10 last week) and even had a little manga boost (someting very rare in second seasons).

>>160353464
Well, sure, but at this rate you could stretch out two years in real time to just finish the Nationals (if you want them to win it) and if the matches are going to be as dry as this one, I don't see how the series would maintain popularity

>>160352567
Boku is cartunish. If the fujos really love the series it would be already selling millions. Why do you think Haikyuu is so big? Cute skinny boys. In Boku we have frogs, muscle old mans and creepy teens.

>>160347851
I hope Numa comes back with another manga. He didn't do too bad with Salmon.

>>160349928
Don't fucking remind me.

>>160347870
This cover is pretty good.

>>160354210
I agree, it's just sad that it wasn't Aniki

>>160354264
He'll get the 8th for sure.

>>160356660
If you had to choose between two 80's WSJ properties by Toriyama, would you pick the one that was totally published in the 80's or the one that ran half of its run and was most popular in the 90's

Who do you think will be in the next covers?

>>160356660
but mexicans love arale

>>160352567
>the first four volumes of Neverland sold more than the first four of Boku
Thank Oda, Akimoto, two color pages per week and a television show (the same that made Kingdom switch from 300k per volume to 600k per volume).

Before that, Neverland's sales were growing, but slowly. The first volume of Boku no Pico sold out (and it was from an author with two failures), the first from Neverland don't.

>>160353428
>>160353464
I just finished the anime and will soon start the manga. What's the consensus? Do people think they'll win nationals or get eliminated at some point?

>>160354786
So all of it is shitty retarded romantic dog shit?

>>160357303
I think the story should have stopped already. The tension was gone.

>>160352824
>>160352525
Is there someone who sells 1 million now? I mean, like Nana, Naruto and FMA did, in the first weeks and not after months. I can only think of 3: OP, SnK and HxH.

Haikyuu, OPM, TG, AssClass, none of them could do that. It's time for people to understand that the million sellers era it's over. Physical volumes are no longer a trend. Manga is no longer the best source of entertainment for the Japanese.

>>160351459
that looks pretty cool

>>160352374
>even Slam dunk
I don't know what you implying here but Slam Dunk sold much more volumes than HxH.

>>160357686
The manga industry has greatly receded and you can see that even in things like how much less magazines there are and how much less the magazines sell. But we still need a few more years to know if digital will allow the industry to grow again.

>>160352548
>>160352591
Look, I know Haikyuu sells a lot, but unlike Slam Dunk or OP, I can not see the series as a "pillar". I think Haikyuu is much more popular in the volumes and anime than in the magazine. SD was in the top 3 always, Haikyuu is in the top 5 and sometimes even leaves, as it was last week. Before the anime used to be in 7th or 8th place.

>>160359005
The thing is, for the double cover they were going for, they had to pick two current series, it's not hard to therefore understand the choice of Haikyuu

The 40th anniversary cover was cool because it was a five-part cover on a single issue that showed different eras on each one when you flipped it and they were able to show current series for the current era's cover...but for this one, they were doing a two-part cover across two issues, it would be not just pessimistic but counterproductive to have one of those two covers feature only series that were long over, it would be like saying Jump has nothing to offer now...that's the ONLY reason Haikyuu is there...in retrospect, it's very possible multiple other titles in the magazine right now will be seen as bigger pillars than Haikyuu but right now it is the only one that could be No. 2

From this cover (representing the first decade, the only one they took was Otoko, this cover shows him as he actually looked in Jump whereas the modern one is just how the series author draws his seinen manga nowadays)

>>160359474
And then this one, is where Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk and so forth were shown, this is the cover of series that will be better represented in a few months when they are promoting Exhibition 2 (note Kochikame was on all 5 parts of the cover since it was in all four decades and still ongoing at the time)

It's not in WSJ, it's a final chapter in Giga, it's very common for series that get cancelled from Jump to get a final epilogue chapter in another magazine, happened to stuff like Enigma, Beelzebub, Nuarihyon no Mago, Midori no Makibao, Video Girl, etc.

That's pretty cool desho

>>160359229
(not him) but I think you guys are thinking too much about this. Yes, Haikyuu is a big fish, but I don't think that was necessarily the only reason for the choice, especially considering that there will be other anniversary covers. Haikyuu will be with a volume in stores next week, so they gave lead cover to advertise, and also took the opportunity to put the protagonist on the cover. If being the second best seller was the only thing that mattered, the one who would be dividing the cover with Luffy in the last double issue would be Hinata, instead of Deku.

always cool to see kinnikuman

>>160360134
Is it still running? Translations never.

>>160360094
Fair enough, I'm mostly just thinking about it as a counter to people who are so upset by it, it does have the best reason to be up there of any current series

>>160360239
Yep, should still be running, a new volume comes out every couple months

Numa, I will be waiting for you. Pull another Hori and try until you success.

>>160360258
No, I agree, the reason is totally valid. I just dont think it's the only one because, like I said, there will be more covers. And I think they will follow the same pattern: Luffy and Goku / Kenshiro + X and Yusuke / JoJo...

>>160360470
I want Numa and the Ole Golazo guy to come back with new stories. And maybe the U19 guy too, since by the final chapters he seemed to have realized that he shouldn't have taken the idea seriously and should have done it way over the top and campy from the start.

>>160360759
I wouldn't mind the guy from Poro coming back if he did actually turn his one-shot into a series
urban-fantasy doctor for fantastic creatures sounds really good

>>160360860
Yeah, that would be good. The oneshot was pretty interesting, if a bit fujobaity, but he shat the bed hard with Poro.

>Pull another Hori
Is this actually considered a Hori thing? To fail in Jump and then succeed? Plenty of others have done it. Takahashi (the Yu-Gi-Oh! guy) failed so hard he just disappeared for like five years before coming back, the Boruto guy had a seventeen year gap between his last appearance and the beginning of Boruto

>>160361058
People buy volumes to have a collection.
>>160361242
Hori failed twice in a row, in the second he did not even get past the 20 chapters. The authors usually fail the first and hit the second (Kubo, Furudate, Takei, Inoue, Komi). The third attempt is usually the last, Hori tried and got a hit. This is very rare.

>>160360759
Yes, the U19 and Golazo guys are the ones I'm most excited for

>>160361685
I see, well Numa hasn't failed twice (arguably not even once) so to want him to pull a Hori would therefore imply you want him to fail again first?

>>160361796
I'm not that anon, but I hope not. It would be too cruel (Hori tried one last time just because of the editor's insistence and said that if it did not work, he would give up). Samon was very charismatic.

>>160361685
>>160361796
Also just to be pedantic (or informative), Araki failed twice before Jojo and Hori will never have the level of success he did

Takeshi Obata failed three, arguably four, times before Hikaru no Go (and multiple times after Death Note)

Haruto Umezawa failed twice before BØY (though Hareluya was mostly just a prototype for BØY)

And basically, I think the only thing that holds a creator back is not Jump but the creator's spirit, like I'm concerned the Golazo guy is now a broken man and that makes me upset...but like, I could totally see (and hope to see) the Amalgam guy come back and succeed even though he's had two failures

>>160357287
Boku no Pico only sells because Naruto ended and Kishimoto promoted it so what the fuck is your point?

It's the same when Dragon Ball ended and One Piece started, they take from other series fanbase

>>160362622
The One Piece/Dragon Ball thing is a huge delusion on your part, the Slam Dunk/Dragon Ball audience had already fled by the millions one to two years before One Piece started and then it had to work to rebuild the magazine's audience, it's not like people just switched over

>Ah that, I almost forgot about it. Don't remember anything weird about her DB design.
She looks really stumpy. Technically that design was used in the later chapters of the Dr.Slump manga itself too though.

Here's a comparison. Left is Arale in late Dr.Slump and the DB crossovers, right is Arale in the beginning of the Dr.Slump manga.

>>160362092
You're right about Araki, but let's remember that the competitiveness was much smaller compared to today, the restrictions were smaller (JoJo and all its weirdness would never be published in the current Jump). Plus:
>Takeshi Obata failed three, arguably four, times before Hikaru no Go (and multiple times after Death Note)
He failed once with Cyborg, in the others he was just doing the art, so it was not necessarily his fault.

>Saint Seiya
I thought Kurumada was angry at Sueisha. Isn't that why Lost Canvas and Next Dimension went to Shōnen Champion?

>>160362998
I don't know the specifics but he was still publishing Ring ni Kakero 2 at Shueisha when Next Dimension started, so he was working with both publishers simultaneously for a few years

>>160362622
>>160362731
Bullshit, Boku was already popular in the magazine and its first volume sold out before Naruto ended. People seem to forget that. And when Horikoshi and Kishimoto did an interview, the manga was already with 1 million copies printed.

Black Clover is a better example of this kind of promotion you are talking about.

>>160362916
WSJ in the past was definitely far more daring and open to courting controversy but that's because it was trying to establish myself, in some ways, I suspect it was more competitive

If you look at the manga Jojo was competing with when it started, you have plenty of the biggest manga of all time like Dragon Ball, Hokuto no Ken, Captain Tsubasa, Saint Seiya, Kinnikuman, Sakigake!! Otokojuku, City Hunter, Kochikame, etc.

It was almost guaranteed to fail.

Nowadays, series can last quite a while just sort've existing because nothing is competing with them (like Straighten Up, Samon, Spring Weapon, Beelzebub)...like if you look at the longest Jump series of all time, they are almost all from the current century because there was so much less competition.

>>160363505
I said competitive because now with the internet it is much easier for the reader to know several titles. He finds a new title every click. Then the author must be different enough to hook you. But how to do this in a magazine that cancels titles every week and that forces the author to follow formulas and restrictions? It's complicated.

In the 80's the magazine was more open and the biggest competition was against video games.

You can bet that the next work of the author of Samon will be more formulaic.

>>160364269
>You can bet that the next work of the author of Samon will be more formulaic.
Samon was already formulaic. Supernatural comedies set in high school are a dime a dozen.

Currently, just the ones that you said sell that.
I think Nodame Cantabile sold a million in few weeks too.
But I think that even in the past few series achieved that. Oricon is showing the volume sales only since 2008, so it's hard to know what the series sold, perhaps the best way are the data of the number of copies of the first print of a series.

They won't win nationals unless the manga is ending when the 3rd years graduate. They might win against the seeded team that is the pick to win it all, which they are currently playing. They might win against Nekoma. But I have a hard time seeing them win against the other big rivals that have been set up.

Defeating Shiratorizawa and making it to Nationals with such a fledgling team is pushing the bounds of realism that people praise haikyuu for so much.

that would be too good for that shit series.

>>160371215
The hilarious part is that even that the ones that come somewhat close still don't sell nearly as much merch as Bleach used to before JUMP stopped ordering.

I checked the mobage yesterday and it was one of the top earners too.

>>160359474
Hokuto no Ken is right there though.

>>160353428
Wait, I thought the Miya brothers' school is top seed even in the nationals?

>>160363505

Well, Jojo was the weakest of all of those.

>>160348823
at least hero academia starts pretty well

>>160372623
I think they made it to the final match but lost to Itachiyama the previous year. So Itachiyama are the previous champions, but Kiryu's school is also top tier. Then there is Fukurodani and Hoshiumi's school are supposed to be pretty good too.

>>160374317
Yonkoproud said they lost their source-guy, so they don't get scans as soon as others anymore.

>>160362092
>Araki failed twice before Jojo and Hori will never have the level of success he did
Araki got lucky since the franchise didn't become the international success and genre defying spectacle people know until Part 3 so he got by 10 volumes of lukewarm reception until he actually hit it big all by ripping off X-Men

>>160374112
Actually being able to draw was always secondary to selling well anyway.

>>160374783

Wasn't City Hunter huge back in the day?

>>160371215

We need to be realistic as well. Times have changed. Bleach also did not sell what Dragon Ball, Yuyu, Kenshin and Slam Dunk sold. Stop living in the past. It's 2017, not 2007.

>>160374880
Yes, but so was stuff like Kinnikuman. And, well, Yudetamago definitely didn't get by on their drawing ability.

Have WSJ ever had any manga about mechas?

>>160363505
>Nowadays, series can last quite a while just sort've existing because nothing is competing with them (like Straighten Up, Samon, Spring Weapon, Beelzebub)
Straighten Up and Samon held on as long as they did because they did the bare minimum and Jump did give them a chance to improve but they never did. Kimetsu would have winded up in the same position if sales didn't increase

Spring Weapon is a niche its survival is more of an editorial mandate than anything else, think of what Saiki was before it found its audience or hell what Kochikame became once they saw how long it avoided the axe.

Beelzebub was a moderate success selling over 100k per volume its cancellation is a shock to me even with its poor rankings

>>160375005
Sales don't matter as much as potential sales growth. Beelzebub had its anime and it didn't increase sales much at all. Jump had run out of options in growing Beelzebub, so they had to make a decision, would the opportunity cost of keeping it at its 200k sales outweigh a new series taking its place and possibly becoming a huge hit? They decided it wasn't worth it.

None. Bleach at that point had stagnated and wasn't producing the same revenue as it did years prior, its anime got canned and its rankings suffered and the only people that was still buying it was its deluded fanbase. Gintama in comparison makes a shit load off merchandise allow and managed to sustain its popularity up until now with the success of teh live action movie.

The best thing about Dr. Stone is the drawings. Characterization and plot are rather shallow. They scream and run and that's it. The author needs to slow down a little.

>>160375537
No. 4 new series the round Beelzebub got cancelled were Illegal Rare, iShojo, Stealth Symphony, and Tokyo Wonder Boys. All flops, even though iShojo did last until this year.

But Jump is always taking these risks and gambles, the failure rate is high but they think it's worth it if they get something like Neverland which gets a lot more hype and attention than any new offerings in the Sunday or Magazine.
