Excited for this new shonen jump batch,especially Madan no ichi. Iruma Kun is great and the act age artist deserved so much better. Also cool its a fantasy manga apparently. Been a while since one of those stick in jump. Other than one piece, Hunter x hunter goes on hiatus and black clover transferred out. They have tried a few like mamayuyu, red hood, ginka and gluna but all were axed. I think you are right this is Yu saitos first real batch. Im hoping its something with the tone of iruma, but also some witch hat atelier/ dungeon meshi /frieren sensibilities in there. It will probably be jumpified with more action but thats cool. All of those are also coincidentally written by women. I do wonder what the English name will be. I kinda hope they keep the original names for the three. Madan no ichi, Shinobikoto and hakutaku sound dope. Kinda like Kagurabachi or gachiakuta or jujutsu kaisen. In english they would be sorcery fights for JJK(lol), serious trash for gachiakuta(not bad) or umm...divine ritual dance bowl retribution(it would prob be divine retribution or dance of retribution im guessing) for kagurabachi. im still annoyed Yomi no Tsugai is called Daemons of the shadow realm lol.
Yomi no Tsugai = Daemons of the shadow realm is something i am INTENSELY mad about. especially after FMA went from Steel Alchemist(literal) to Full Metal Alchemist which is SICK. You'll notice if I mention it on the pod I almost always call it Yomi no Tsugai. I get that translation and localization are difficult and strange things, but Removing the TWIN focus of the whole story and inserting "Shadow realm" is just insanely bad. I don't know who was in charge of that but they deserve to be fired for it. Even just TWINS OF THE SHADOWREALM makes more sense, could be talking about Asa and Yoru, could be talking about the Yomi/Daemons. Maybe even Daemon Twins is good? Literally the whole pun of the Japanese is about the TWIN stuff and how there are PAIRS of daemons. I could complain about this until my lips fall off. I hate the English title so much and I think it will do HONEST damage to it's popularity when it comes to the west in anime form. TWINS OF SHADOW! SHADOW TWINS! DARK PAIR! So many better name I can come up with off the cuff, I hate it so much. I'm done now, but I'll be back.
@@weeklymangaPodcast Its truly baffling. Like, they could have gone the more literal route like you said and that would have been fine, or even be poetic and think backwards from the theme. Take Tsugai as varying between twin and “pair” and “connecting point”. Yomi as the name of the world of the dead described in Shinto mythology. if not literal Twins of the underworld, twins and demons and other realms, how about the concept of duality which is intrinsic to the series. Dark Duality. Dual Fates. Underworld Twins. Dual Shadow/ Shadow Duel you could even used words that mirror duality and capture the demons and shadow part. Also it being a connecting point or hinge. Shadowed Fates , Daemon Duality, Twin Shadow, Shadow Convergence Though truthfully i dont think it'll be an issue. It sells really well in japan and if it gets a good anime and is advertised as an arakawa thing, itll do well I think .
Appreciate your podcast.. thanks for all of the great info
