The only issue I have with Iruma isn’t even with the manga. It’s that the anime didn’t immediately announce a fourth season after three straight bangers.
I wonder why another season hasn’t been announced yet… The closest I can think of is that Covid at the time really might have messed with the momentum of production…or the ratings too…
Weekly Shounen Sunday also has published most of Rumiko Takahashi s works. Besides Urusei Yatsura which I think you've mentioned there's Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha (which were both very popular in their time). Also Rin-ne and Mao
I appreciate you immediately dispensing with "which is the best" and instead focusing on what makes each magazine different. You really showed each magazine at its best, and, by the end, I had several new leads for manga I otherwise would have missed. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment!! Yep a big thing I wanted to focus on in this video was showing how cool each magazine was, while still keeping the rival moniker since its fun! Glad you found some interesting manga from it too!
Iruma kun is SO good. All the characters are amazing, even the side characters are so flash out. The character development is so good, you can really see their growth. The world building is pretty subtle, but you can really immerse yourself in it. The story and the characters strongly revolve around the theme and you can really feel it. The art style is amazing, the are so many panels that genuinely gives me goosebumb cause how amazing it is and the impact it gives for the story
I genuinely didn't realize iruma kun is an isekai even though I've followed it since early chapters, because it never sell it self as one and it doesn't heavily relly on overuse trope like so many other isekai manga
I think Jump taking the spotlight kind of creates the same issue that Marvel and DC taking the spotlight creates, where if it doesn't have the Jump name tied to it, very few people will take it seriously
Sometimes yeah, though the inverse is true too where people see "Shonen jump" and don't read it because its "all battle manga" Also unlike comics most people likely aren't familiar with any other magazines as they aren't really names that pop up in the west.
Sunday is actually gaining ground in recent years with a lot of their manga getting animated, for example komi, frieren and fly me the moon and their biggest series detective conan
I believe Shonen Sunday is my favorite Shonen anthology alongside Shonen Jump. They created created Magi, Keijo, Devilman, Kenichi, and many other manga I enjoyed.
As a first time watcher i have to say this was a great video! Very interesting topic, too. Its kinda funny how in japan the different shounen magazine are probabyl the topic of much debate for manga nerds but here in the west we barely know they exist. Woulr be really awesome to have a video like this discussing the other types of magazines there are (shoujo, seinen, josei)
that's cool to hear! Also I've checked out some other videos of yours and those have been really fun as well. Always a great thing when the algorithm delivers and shows me a new channel that's right up my alley
Ippo is definitely top 10 manga i've ever read. It has everything: Action, Comedy, Romance, Drama... The way that we see Ippo and friends get older is so cool, i can't even believe Ippo started off as a high-schooler. There has passed at least 5 years and no time skips, just 1400 chapters as we follow Ippo's life and growth. I'm honestly so invested in these characters i cry every ten chapters or so lol.
I'm binging your videos. You have no idea how happy I am that I found your channel. I'm going to be releasing a manga soon and I hope you get the chance to read the first chapter/oneshot. This is the 6th video in a row i watched so far of yours
I’ve been reading manga since 2004 and only recently I began collecting the manga magazines from Japan . So I’m super thrilled to see videos like this !
I think a company that rivals "Shonen" jump besides "Shonen" itself. Would probably "Afternoon" magazine published absolute classics like Land of the Lustrous, Blame, Parasyte and Vinland Saga.
Afternoon, Morning and Evening are all still Kodansha's and they are more geared towards seinen than shonen. If you want to compare Jump with any one of Kodansha's magazines, it is Weekly Shonen Magazine.
I used to think of Fairy Tail as much smaller than the Big Three and of Rave Master as it's even smaller predecessor. It kind of blew my mind when I found out that Rave Master was Weekly Shounen Magazine new hot thing during a time when Magazine was bigger than Jump. It really put into perspective how much of a titan of the manga industry Hiro Mashima is.
loved this video as iruma and frieren are both in my top 3 current shonens. in all honesty i need to read more jump someday as i dont really read much there( i do however watch alot of anime from there)
I don’t know if there’s any way to prove this idea, but when you mentioned Shonen Jump’s superior infrastructure, I was left wondering how much of the magazine’s international fame is due to better business planning. Not to say “it’s all marketing” or anything like that, just that Shonen Jump has always seemed to have a better international business plan in place compared to its competitors.
It absolutely has! A part of that is because for a long time the manga has been labeled under Shonrn Jump whereas the other magazines rarely if ever get mentioned outside of Japan. Individual series have found success though for sure. It helps bigtime that there's been various international versions of Jump too, including the US one
People can hate it or call it "unfair" but the sink-or-swim approach Jump takes in it's series also really only allows the best of the best to thrive (well for the most part)
For me personally, Jump was the only magazine name I ever heard of, thanks to Bakuman. I feel like if you wanted to make an all encompassing sociological history of manga, the 3 that HAVE to be mentioned are Astro Boy, One Piece, and Bakuman. It's crazy how many people learned so much of their manga knowledge from Bakuman, even though it wasn't the highest selling or anything. Also, there are bunch of other series that name drop Jump (mainly thinking Roboco, I think Gintama did too, and even some serious stories) so even a clueless little nerdy brat pirating anime on the other side of the world can hear their name. Nowadays, yeah I would say it's the infrastructure. I read every new mangaplus series because it's so easy to, and I don't really have time to explore new stuff outside of Jump because of that. I feel a bit bad about it but probably won't change that habit any time soon.
Also, Jump+ has been amazing for supplementing the main magazine, with bangers like Dandadan and CSM Part 2 rivaling the popularity of Jump's A-tier sellers (think Haikyuu, Undead Unluck, or Sakamoto Days)
@@TrentinArt it could be something to explore when talking about monthly pubblications, as most of the Gangan magazines are sold either monthly or twice a month instead of weekly. The different pace has definitely an impact on those works.
Great video i knew about shonen sunday, ive read Inuyasha, Yashahime and Detective Conan, awesome look at the different popular shonen magazines in japan, Shonen Jump will always be my first love but its nice to view other manga from these magazines and get new perspectives, genres and more diverse storytelling, you have great content and youre doing a great job 😊
Thank you! I feel the exact same! I love Jump but there's tons of magazines out there filled with lots of other great stories which I also want to experience
weekly shonen champion just added like 10 new serializations in the past 4 weeks, two of them look very interesting, one is a delincuent manga like Tokyo Revengers but the twist is that the leaders of the gangs are descendants of ancient ninja clans and can do ninjutsus, the other one is a bodyguard/butler manga of a boy that makes a contract with a local goddess to protect her and take care of her
@@TrentinArt the names of the mangas I mentioned are Rappa Yankee Ninpuuchou and Iku-gyo no Ao or Blue of Anger, the first 3 chapters are free on their website as well as the antepenultimate chapter
I really appreciate these videos about the history of Shonen Jump and Manga as a print medium. I'm very sad that in North America we cant get a monthly Shonen Jump anymore, so this is giving me some nostalgia.
While not as many westerners are aware of WSM and WSS their series are definitely big with SJ fans in the west with stuff like Fairy Tail, Seven Deadly Sins, Inuyasha, and Ippo!! ✨
Interesting. Would be very interested in seeing a vid on Monthly shonen jump, haven’t read any manga from it yet but angel densetsu and claymore look really cool. I’m also gonna start reading bastard!! So I’m interested when you get to shonen jump 87 that’ll be an interesting year!
if you click with Angel Densetsu it might even be better than Gin Tama, at least that’s how I feel. Nothing does gag quite like it. I do mean gag in its western meaning here, situational and physical humor without dialogues.
@@manhwafanatic Kinda like lupin’s manga? Only thing close to gag I’ve read is excel saga and even then it’s way more different satirical then the anime adaptation and the serious moments hit.
Personally I'm just happy there's competition. It keeps shounen jump fresh as a company and keeps things going. The rivals have great stuff too so all in all, hopefully every one of them keep kicking ass.
@@TrentinArt honestly I was looking into 1970s manga yesterday and I'd seen some good titles based off your coverage alone so thank you! I also found some others on my own so now I can appreciate what came before.
I literally couldn't concentrate on what you were saying when the Judgement Instrumental was playing because my brain was automatically inserting in Kiryu's singing 💀 Very intresting and informative video though, as an English reader you don't always notice which manga is from what magazine as you are mostly either reading from online translations or volume releases.
Ahaha lol!! Yeahh it's interesting to put manga into perspective by lining up what magazines they might be in! Idk how many people will care all that much overall but I find it fun to look into at least
Tougen anki (can't remember the English name, you can find it online by now) is another really good one from shounen champion, Getting an anime soon too and its been selling really good. It is generic, But its super action packed. Great fights, power system, and characters. Everything about this series screams "next big series that isn't shounen jump" its not gonna be as big as beastars or blue lock, but it has potential. These other magazines don't have a stigma on what should be allowed or what needs to sell. So as long as you don't cross the line (which is relatively thin nowadays) almost anything can make it big. There can be series like beastars, common ones like baki or blue lock, or entirely different series. It's good seeing previous author's like the author of inuyasa move to these magazines. Even if its not as popular, your series is sure to blow up with the right audience and the fact that these magazines don't have a strict deadline or structure that picks and chooses as much and WSJ
Definitely will check out Tougen Anki eventually! Rumiko the author of Inuyasha has always been a Sunday mangaka, I don't think they moved there. And these magazines do operate similarly to Jump, just a bit less ruthless but they cut series that underperform to bring in new stuff all the time ... its just how magazines work. And while each of these features lots of different manga, so does Jump, I don't really appreciate the demonising of it.
huh, I never realized that so many of the mangas and animes that I saw in my early years where from champion. I know I always gavitated towards the weird ones, but just never connected the dots
I've read it up to part of the latest big battle I think? And I did try the anime but it felt iffy at points, I think i'll go back to it again someday though!
their manga plus app?? The Manga plus app just has Jump + titles on, i dont think its necessarily all edgier titles those are just the ones that get the most popular
@@TrentinArt I guess I meant Jump + focus and I would definitely say if you look it has built itself off some edgier titles but also that through the app currently is used for titles that usually wouldnt get a chance in main shonen jump.
I enjoy awerness of Iruma when he orients, that unoiled brains of his biological parents had any idea to sell him, and before that, he NEEDED to be more self-reliant if to live next days
Finally! I'm sick of people pretending like Shounen Jump is the only Manga magazine out there. That gives 'em a monopoly grip over the market, and that’s always bad. I'm not obligated to be loyal to Shounen Jump when they're putting out Manga that I don't like. Also they have a bad practice of canceling Manga that's too creative and not cliche enough, all the while hoarding the IP from the creator themselves; effectively killing series with potential.
Well it's the biggest because it's the most publicly available and easily accessible as well as a having a ton of popular series. It's not necessarily peoples fault that it's all they know. Thyere "bad practice of cancelling manga thats too creative and not cliche enough" also extends to these other magazines too, it's how they work. Jump might be a bit more aggressive with that strategy, but things that are popular and sell stay, things that don't go. Authors know what theyre signing up for when they get serialized. Could it improve, sure! But also i dont think you quite know what your talking about
hi sorry for this odd question but me being a beginner manga reader, what do you recommend i should i keep my eye out on more: manga magazines or manga publishers? 🤔
I think it's just a matter of what you find interesting tbh! The magazines are cool since they're a physical thing with their own brad snd history. There's dome cool nuances and you can predict and theorise on how it changes. I'm a lot less focused on publishers i think since they just publish stuff here overseas. But maybe supporting your favourite or reading most manga they publish would be interesting to someone! Hope that helps, overall though just enjoy!
@@TrentinArt true, plus those publishers aren't necessarily just tailored to manga, they also publish other stuff as well i'm sure. also maybe a bit off-topic but i remember reading somewhere that the publishers are usually the ones who announce/decide if a manga gets an anime adaptation (not sure for live action). btw do you have any other sources besides myanimelist, animeplanet, anilist, kitsu or baka updates on manga magazines? 🤔
@@ginnydragon I use a range of resources, Comic Vine usually has most covers for the bigger manga magazines, Jajanken has a database of Table of Contents and chapter lists for weekly shonen jump titles. Japanese wikipedia and websites are useful jumping off points too as well as various japanese forums
Oh wow I havent had a comment like that for a long time. I think the audio for the last batch of videos I recorded was a bit lower than usual but its still really loud for me when its at max volume so I thought it would be fine. Should be something that I fix in future uploads. If your on PC you can set your volume mixer higher if it isnt maxed out already
I was excited for the Viz Oneshot program, and thought the manga they would pick could really create an American Shonen Jump, but the oneshots look more like academy award winners, than commercial manga you would see in Japan, maybe since Shueisha is a co -owner of Viz, they don't want to pick anything that could compete with Shonen Jump...truly sad and a wasted opportunity
@@TrentinArt those artist at sat. am are good, most of them have left, and are the majority of the winners on manga plus creators, they hate management at satam
Never expected to get a boobie jumpscare from this channel. Kinda shocked that these are shonen covers though considering that jump only does these gravure shots for their seinen line like young jump.
Monthly afternoon is more good. They published Parasyte and blue period yeah I know it’s not shonen And I mention monthly garo . This magazine had edgy independent artist But how shame it’s end to publish
Preach please it's damming how little the North American West know how to navigate the magazine setup from Japan countries from France to Thailand have better understanding and selection and its really troubling.
It's interesting and I don't know how many are interested in really delving deep. It doesn't help that the only one we have lots of access to is shonen Jump. But I'm hoping that changes over time! ☺️
I think the comment about blue lock being super gay is hilarious, it's the whole reason I don't watch or read any male sport manga/anime they all have super obvious gay undertones, it's so weird and a turn off when trying to get in to a series. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against gay people but it's not something I want to read about or watch
It really isn't that big a part of it, I drastically make it way more gayer than it is because I think its fun, and undertone-wise a lot of sports series are just guys being physically close, if that bothers you I'm sorry but that might be some baggage you have to work through.
@@TrentinArt 🤣🤣🤣 maybe idk though I played plenty of team sports growing up bro, I don't remember it being as sus as some these anime/manga make it out to be, but maybe that's just my perspective and a bit of anime exaggeration.
Those stories are made more for women who love men being gay with each other. I don’t see it as a problem imo; at least it’s not cringe like Swim or Black Clover lite like how Haikyaku is.
The only issue I have with Iruma isn’t even with the manga. It’s that the anime didn’t immediately announce a fourth season after three straight bangers.
I started reading the manga after waiting so long for the new season😂
I wonder why another season hasn’t been announced yet… The closest I can think of is that Covid at the time really might have messed with the momentum of production…or the ratings too…
@@kaylemathewcomendador6964season 3 aired during Fall 2022 to Spring 2023 , so Covid has zero effects on production
@@BlueBlazeKing I’m guessing Covid affected production of the potential next season.
God I wanna see a certain scene animated in season 4. It’ll go sooooo hard.
Iruma kun is one my favorite modern Shonen series.
Love seeing the Iruma Love!
@@TrentinArt Waiting for 4th Season!
Same!
Happy to see more Iruma-kun acknowledgement!
It was really cool learning about those different shonen magazines :D
I'm glad you enjoyed learning a bit about them!!
Weekly Shounen Sunday also has published most of Rumiko Takahashi s works. Besides Urusei Yatsura which I think you've mentioned there's Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha (which were both very popular in their time). Also Rin-ne and Mao
Yup I'm aware, I just didn't want the video to be 2million years long.
Stuff like that will be reserved for videos on individual magazines!
Came for the Iruma, stayed for the Iruma
Iruma is truly the best 😌
I appreciate you immediately dispensing with "which is the best" and instead focusing on what makes each magazine different. You really showed each magazine at its best, and, by the end, I had several new leads for manga I otherwise would have missed. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment!! Yep a big thing I wanted to focus on in this video was showing how cool each magazine was, while still keeping the rival moniker since its fun! Glad you found some interesting manga from it too!
Iruma kun is SO good. All the characters are amazing, even the side characters are so flash out. The character development is so good, you can really see their growth. The world building is pretty subtle, but you can really immerse yourself in it. The story and the characters strongly revolve around the theme and you can really feel it. The art style is amazing, the are so many panels that genuinely gives me goosebumb cause how amazing it is and the impact it gives for the story
iruma kun is a fan pleaser. One of the best isekai hands down.
I genuinely didn't realize iruma kun is an isekai even though I've followed it since early chapters, because it never sell it self as one and it doesn't heavily relly on overuse trope like so many other isekai manga
@@theramazing4615that is because it is more if old fashioned isekai like inuyasha before it became more focused on the video game references.
I think Jump taking the spotlight kind of creates the same issue that Marvel and DC taking the spotlight creates, where if it doesn't have the Jump name tied to it, very few people will take it seriously
Sometimes yeah, though the inverse is true too where people see "Shonen jump" and don't read it because its "all battle manga"
Also unlike comics most people likely aren't familiar with any other magazines as they aren't really names that pop up in the west.
Shounen Weekly and Shounen Jump are the DC and Marvel of comics in Japan though
Sunday is actually gaining ground in recent years with a lot of their manga getting animated,
for example komi, frieren and fly me the moon
and their biggest series detective conan
Welcome to Demon Iruma Kun is so underrated. It gives me early 2000s anime vibes that I grew up watching. 😢
Keep on grinding man. You're going to truly going to be one of be one of the bigger anime/manga UA-camrs sooner than later.

Educational video. Thanks. And I love Frieren too.
Glad you found it educational!!
First tuber I've seen bringing up the long run of hajima no Ippo
Really? It's ridiculously long though, I guess not enough people read or think about it
It's quite popular. The lesser talked about ones are Ace of diamond, baby steps, and ashita no joe from the same magazine
Shonen Sunday is my favourite of the 3 with a lot of dope stories from that magazine that I loved over the years

Welcome to demon school is so good. Best anime to watch Saturday morning
It's great right!! I love Iruma a ton
We need more awareness of this jajanken and manganetto are a thing but very limited.
This was great. God bless :)
Thank you!
Also Orion Board has been getting reprints for vol 1 so it's sticking around
I heard, and recent chapters have been great!! I wrote the script a bit ago but im happy its doing well
Great Video!! You got a sub man :))
Thank you! Glad you enjoyedbthe Video!
W Saturday AM mention
i also love gon, jolyne...yusuke....
yup, there's lots of JUMP bias here for me too
Controversial take: Iruma is a better version of My Hero Academia
Ohh I agree tbh!
That’s just the standard take, at this point.
It’s also the correct take.
I’m using this take to bring my freshly brewed tea to room temp. Welcome to Demon School knows just how to balance school life, drama, and action
Anything is better than mha
@@Killerqueen2000So Rent-A-Girlfriend is better then?
Great video.
Thank you!!!

Gundam Otaku Magazine.
Corocoro Comics is also considered one of Jump’s rivals.
A lot of magazines could be, tho I don't think coro coro fits in the kind of context I was going for
i recently binged hajime no ippo anime and manga to chapter 1460. easily one of the greatest out of the 200 or so ive read.
Great to hear! I'm going to enjoy it when it get to it for sure!
Finally here!
Enjoy!!
huh, I never realized that so many of the mangas and animes that I saw in my early years where from champion.
I know I always gavitated towards the weird ones, but just never connected the dots
It's fun to go through each magazines library and do that tbh!
can you do one on pre shonen jump mags, shoujo,kodomo and seinen ones too at a later time.
Id love to cover all sorts of manga magazines in the future! It's only a matter of time really!
Well, when would you ever do a video on a comprehensive long video on showasha's other magazines like yong jump and V jump
Maybe one day! Id like to cover these 3 first
was about to yell "Shonen Ace" but that one is a monthly title
Maybe I'll do monthly ones at some point too!
Well thank you for give deep dive in shonen industry. And give us idea how does shonen published and it rivals.❤🎉
17:44 I love Ranger Reject! But sadly, the first season of the anime feels so rushed and I would recommend reading the manga instead.
I've read it up to part of the latest big battle I think? And I did try the anime but it felt iffy at points, I think i'll go back to it again someday though!
watch out !
i love luffy, zatch, legoshi.............
...i don't know anything from Magazine currently, oops
IRUMA KUN MY BELOVED
Loving that guilty gear XX music
Awesome, love sneaking it in when I can!
Although I Love Jump and its my favorite Manga Magazine
My Top 1 Shounen isnt even from Jump its from Weekly Shounen Magazine
(Fairy Tail Btw)
I love Blue Lock and Iruma-kun!!
I'd also be curious what you think of their Manga Plus app and how it serves for more experimental or edgier shonen titles.
their manga plus app?? The Manga plus app just has Jump + titles on, i dont think its necessarily all edgier titles those are just the ones that get the most popular
@@TrentinArt I guess I meant Jump + focus and I would definitely say if you look it has built itself off some edgier titles but also that through the app currently is used for titles that usually wouldnt get a chance in main shonen jump.
I love Jump but I been a fan of Shonen Magazine for almost 20 years.
Nice!
mairimashita-kun is something i live for
shonen Sunday has been a jump rival for almost 2 decades, even oda (one piece) tells gosho(detective conan) shonen sunday is a rival lmao.
did i say otherwise?
The shonin champion exercises one. How do you spell it, please? If you want to read it, it looks like fun
Haiiro no Onmyouji is the name!
@@TrentinArt thank you
@TrentinArt I tried earlier but obviously I didn't works so thanks again
I enjoy awerness of Iruma when he orients, that unoiled brains of his biological parents had any idea to sell him, and before that, he NEEDED to be more self-reliant if to live next days
Bro i saw blue lock and iruma and clicked🔥
Bruh, for a second at the end of the video i thought you we're going to say whichever one gets voted the highest will get a history series.
Oh noooo, Jump will take a long while to finish, that's my priority. Just going to make 1 video
@@TrentinArt Oh I 100% understand, just wishful thinking on my end. It would of been ridiculous too juggle more than 1.
@@projectmessiah Yeahhh, someday though I think that'd be really fun!
Dear anemone axe files when????
Someday!! It's too new for now though, I'd like to wait until the authors made something new
Finally!
I'm sick of people pretending like Shounen Jump is the only Manga magazine out there. That gives 'em a monopoly grip over the market, and that’s always bad.
I'm not obligated to be loyal to Shounen Jump when they're putting out Manga that I don't like. Also they have a bad practice of canceling Manga that's too creative and not cliche enough, all the while hoarding the IP from the creator themselves; effectively killing series with potential.
Well it's the biggest because it's the most publicly available and easily accessible as well as a having a ton of popular series. It's not necessarily peoples fault that it's all they know.
Thyere "bad practice of cancelling manga thats too creative and not cliche enough" also extends to these other magazines too, it's how they work. Jump might be a bit more aggressive with that strategy, but things that are popular and sell stay, things that don't go. Authors know what theyre signing up for when they get serialized. Could it improve, sure! But also i dont think you quite know what your talking about
read Brave Bell from weekly shone magazine
I have!
iruma kun is amazing
hi sorry for this odd question but me being a beginner manga reader, what do you recommend i should i keep my eye out on more: manga magazines or manga publishers? 🤔
I think it's just a matter of what you find interesting tbh! The magazines are cool since they're a physical thing with their own brad snd history. There's dome cool nuances and you can predict and theorise on how it changes.
I'm a lot less focused on publishers i think since they just publish stuff here overseas. But maybe supporting your favourite or reading most manga they publish would be interesting to someone!
Hope that helps, overall though just enjoy!
@@TrentinArt
true, plus those publishers aren't necessarily just tailored to manga, they also publish other stuff as well i'm sure.
also maybe a bit off-topic but i remember reading somewhere that the publishers are usually the ones who announce/decide if a manga gets an anime adaptation (not sure for live action).
btw do you have any other sources besides myanimelist, animeplanet, anilist, kitsu or baka updates on manga magazines? 🤔
@@ginnydragon I use a range of resources, Comic Vine usually has most covers for the bigger manga magazines, Jajanken has a database of Table of Contents and chapter lists for weekly shonen jump titles. Japanese wikipedia and websites are useful jumping off points too as well as various japanese forums
@@TrentinArt thank you!! 😊
it doesn't matter, just read series that you like
This seems very interesting
But I have to say, the audio is pretty low. Could you raise the volume overall?
Oh wow I havent had a comment like that for a long time. I think the audio for the last batch of videos I recorded was a bit lower than usual but its still really loud for me when its at max volume so I thought it would be fine. Should be something that I fix in future uploads.
If your on PC you can set your volume mixer higher if it isnt maxed out already
Thank you for your knowledge
No problem! 😊
There's a lot of Kodansha/Shonen Magazine stuff i want to read but K Manga is...uh....um....yeah.....
Yeahhhh I feel that for sure, K Manga is rough

My Dress up Darling haha
What is the Coro Coro magazine?
children magazine, Doraemon and pokemon published in there
you can't talk about shounen magazine without mentioning Fairy Tail
Will definitely mention it in the eventual WSM video!
I was excited for the Viz Oneshot program, and thought the manga they would pick could really create an American Shonen Jump, but the oneshots look more like academy award winners, than commercial manga you would see in Japan, maybe since Shueisha is a co -owner of Viz, they don't want to pick anything that could compete with Shonen Jump...truly sad and a wasted opportunity
I'm not too knowledgeable about that but it seems kind of interesting so I might look into it at some point
I'm here for Saturday AM Manga haha. They basically are the American Shonen Jump :)
I've read some and was going to make a video at some point and still maybe will, but I didnt find too many series engaging from them
@@TrentinArt those artist at sat. am are good, most of them have left, and are the majority of the winners on manga plus creators, they hate management at satam
Why does Shonen Magazine just have pinups man that's wild
To appeal to younger men I guess, sex sells
@@TrentinArt true... question was rhetorical to be fair but hey if it works it works
I hear guilty gear theme w
Big Guilty Gear fan!! love using the music when I can!
Never expected to get a boobie jumpscare from this channel. Kinda shocked that these are shonen covers though considering that jump only does these gravure shots for their seinen line like young jump.
Haha I think u did the same thing in my first video. And yeah it still wows me that Jump is the only one out of the 4 which says away from it.

Monthly afternoon is more good.
They published Parasyte and blue period
yeah I know it’s not shonen
And I mention monthly garo . This magazine had edgy independent artist
But how shame it’s end to publish

Yeahhh theyre so goofy I love them!
Preach please it's damming how little the North American West know how to navigate the magazine setup from Japan countries from France to Thailand have better understanding and selection and its really troubling.
It's interesting and I don't know how many are interested in really delving deep. It doesn't help that the only one we have lots of access to is shonen Jump. But I'm hoping that changes over time! ☺️
The bgm is too overpowering
Oh well, I usually do my best to keep them level, cant do much about it now sorry
@@TrentinArtI though it was great! It didn’t disturb me and even liked the songs you chose along with the video
I think the comment about blue lock being super gay is hilarious, it's the whole reason I don't watch or read any male sport manga/anime they all have super obvious gay undertones, it's so weird and a turn off when trying to get in to a series.
Don't get me wrong I have nothing against gay people but it's not something I want to read about or watch
It really isn't that big a part of it, I drastically make it way more gayer than it is because I think its fun, and undertone-wise a lot of sports series are just guys being physically close, if that bothers you I'm sorry but that might be some baggage you have to work through.
@@TrentinArt 🤣🤣🤣 maybe idk though I played plenty of team sports growing up bro, I don't remember it being as sus as some these anime/manga make it out to be, but maybe that's just my perspective and a bit of anime exaggeration.
Those stories are made more for women who love men being gay with each other. I don’t see it as a problem imo; at least it’s not cringe like Swim or Black Clover lite like how Haikyaku is.
Heresy
😌Gotta do some recon on the other magazines
