I feel the biggest problem with Shonen Jump and the new series they put out there is just how impatient they are. I get that they want new, popular series that'll bring in more and more people, but it feels like they're incapable of letting the newbies develop at their own pace. Believe it or not, a lot of stories don't have the most exciting of beginnings. Most take a while to lay out the rules of the world, the characters, and the type of story they want to tell.
no they've always been like that. you only say that now because of Jump + Being accessible and social media. TOC and sales are important being in the top 10 in the TOC for a series that is new is a huge deal and maintaining that spot is also huge.
I remember this conversation happening around the end of Bleach and Naruto. Reality is the next thing will be here before we know it. Feels like yesterday AoT, JJK and MHA were just coming out as the new kids in the block. Everything will be just fine.
AoT, JJK, and MHA are no where near the likes of the Big 3. AoT held its own but MHA and JJK both suffered from burn out and are pretty mid. If they are indication of the future of manga/anime theeen we're in for a future of mid.
@@jase276 I mean JJK has 90 million copies sold over 6 years with volume 26 releasing soon. For example Bleach at 26 volumes only had 39 million sold. I can't find numbers for Naruto which would be a better indicator though since it was way more popular than Bleach. One Piece averages 4.89 mil per volume so that would = 126 mil at 26 volumes and that's One Piece, the best selling manga ever. So idk I think the newer manga like JJK/MHA and the like are all fine and doing exceptionally well still. Manga sales in general have fallen in recent years so that also might explain it. I think you're just experiencing the online meme hate train that comes for every big series eventually. Because the numbers really say otherwise. Even if people say those series are "mid" it really seems like its just a vocal minority online stirring the pot and trying to be hipsters for hating on the current big series.
@@solodolo7161 I mean u are comparing sales back in the 90's and early 2000's to sales in current years where anime and manga are like 20x more popular. I know manga sales as a whole has decreased but yeah thats that. But yeah shounen jump will always have something to take up the torch. I mean OP is still going too. OP sales might be far below its prime days but its still like top 3 best selling every year and sells at around 10 mil every year. And that with only 1 volume coming out per year in these recent years.
Yeah, but most of the new lineup (JJK,Chainsaw Man, Kaiju No. 8, etc.) are too edgy for me. I like them, but I want a lighter, more classic shonens too.
That's why I don't enjoy a lot of newer Shonen Jump manga anymore, their format is good for catching attention but they don't allow the story to build themselves up properly. A lot of interesting looking manga with good potential got axed so quick back when I was still reading their new manga a decade ago.
@@op-bv7cs Funny how JJK and Demon Slayer were both almost got axed, changed their pacing to be more rapid and became one of the most popular works currently
After Dragon Ball ended Togashi was given a contract where he had to make a battle Shonen for the magazine but he had more creative freedom and was allowed more frequent hiatuses, that’s how HxH was born. With so many major titles ending in WSJ, I believe management is giving the author of Demon Slayer a similar deal and they’re making sure the series is extremely high quality which is why we haven’t heard anything yet.
@@shadownetwork YYH had been over for a while at that point, but WSJ didn’t have a sure fire hit up its sleeve after Dragon Ball, their biggest series at the time, ended. Now they’re in a similar situation where several of their most popular series are about to end, it would make sense if they gave Koyoharu Gotouge a similar contract to what Togashi got to ensure they have a hit in the magazine.
Hot take, Demon Slayer's manga was mid. It got some buzz, sure but no one really cared until ufotable did the anime. It's the ANIME that blew up not only in Japan but the entire world. And let me tell you, as we're getting down the wire in the anime, the shortcomings of the manga are surely easy to notice. So, banking on the author of Demon Slayer will not create another HxH effect. But, hey, i'd love to be proven wrong. I've been reading manga since the Big 3 and it looks like everyone, Shonen Jump included, wants their manga to be just as big and last just as long but a lot of these new mangaka obviously can't hang long enough and burn out.
This is wrong. Togashi after Yu Yu Hakusho, and after Dragon Ball ending, wrote Level E. From ending of 1995 to 1997. Hunter x Hunter was done 1 year after Level E. About the magazine after Dragon Ball. The biggest series was a Sport anime, Slam Dunk. That unfortunately ended 1 year later. After that the best series was Rurouni Kenshin(Samurai X). The biggest battle shonen after Dragon Ball, and right when One Piece started were: Rurouni Kenshin(Samurai X) Hareluya Boys II Jojo's Bizarre Adventure(Yes at this time the series was still running in Weekly shonen Jump) Rokudenashi Blues Dragon Quest Hell Teacher Nube Ninku Hoshin Engin Yu-Gi-Oh Bastard!!! So it was still full of famous Battle Shonen, still nothing as popular as Dragon Ball.
Sure but if you read the story and know that we're in the final saga my guess is 5 years tops like it's so easy to map out the end game at this point in my op.
@@Jonathan-tw4xmI say 5 years is perfect, given Oda's regular breaks every 3-4 chapters, about 150 to 200 chapters away from the end. We get maybe 5 more chapters of Egghead and then 20-30 chapters of Elbaf and then it's all the final arc.
As a mangaka striving to make series as inspirational as One Piece and as Heart pumping as Bleach/JJK, I’m crossing my fingers for some worthy competition in this new generation of Shonen 💪💪
I’ll say this, even if One piece ends, there won’t be another long running series like One Piece for a very long time. One piece is a unique series that happens to be on going for years because of a one of a kind author dedication to keep giving more stories to tell about this world he created. It’s rare to find another author like Oda, like catching lighting in a bottle. We might never get another long running and amazing series like One piece in our life time but Shonen Jump will keep going forward with new series. When Fist of the North Star end, Shonen Jump kept moving forward. When Dragon Ball end, Shonen Jump kept going forward. When Bleach and Naruto end, Shonen jump kept moving forward. Shonen jump will always learn to move on from popular series and focus on the future to keep investing on new original series. Whether those series are here for a short time or a very long time.
I don't think there will ever be another shonen like One Piece again. One Piece has been around for so long that other shonen that it inspired have started and ended or are wrapping up soon, the industry is changing. The large majority of recent manga and anime are more short form or don't have the same scope that Oda does with his series. It's not realistic to expect another series like One Piece because Oda is simply not human. I'm not saying series of the same quality will never come out again, but something with the same scope and lifespan as One Piece is something that only comes around once in a blue moon
I’ve still been enjoying a good handful of the series, but pretty soon Shonen Jump is gonna need some series to backfill those same series ending real soon. If they could stop swinging that ax so damn much, that’d be great.
@@murderman8578 I understand that, but the series could be given a bit more of a chance. Maybe not just the first volume sales, like the first two or three…
@NinthShinigami they've lowkey been a bit more resistant when it comes to axing manga. Some of the recent axed manga have hit 30+ chapters which is way better than a couple years ago so things are improving
I haven't read any MMA series but it def has some potential I think when it comes to sport series it isn't about the sport at all until later you really gotta build up the characters first!
I don't like betting on Shonen Jump dying, but I think it's just in a creative drought stage. Shonen Jump needs longform series more than anything else, and there's not a lot of people out there as dedicated as the likes of Eichiro Oda. Look at how many series have come and gone since One Piece started, it's their golden goose and nobody is coming close to the level of love and dedication he has for his work. Either Jump needs to change or another prodigy comes along, since I'm pretty sure the Japanese manga industry is gruelling. I'm never going to pretend that we're in a creative drought, people will always come out with great ideas that sell well. But the concepts people come up with might not be suited for longform series like the average Shonen manga anymore
I’ve started to make a manga that’s gonna be very long and has insane world building but since I’m not Japanese it probably won’t get any recognition when I try to publish it. Idk much about the magazine itself but Perhaps if shonen jump will add a foreign section of their magazine, they can market creators from other countries bc I’ve seen a lot of non Japanese people that are making really good looking manga and I think it would be really cool to see the cultures collide and work together to spread their love for manga
That’s interesting! I actually prefer that only Japanese manga are featured. I like that it’s their own thing, I don’t think I’d be nice if they added a foreign section. That’s weird, you can make a comic and if they like it they might adapt it like solo leveling which is originally a manhwa (Korean). Also, I suggest learning Japanese and you can then enter awards for manga and stuff and you might get recognized by shonen jump + you’ll get an editor and Tada! And it doesn’t have to be shonen jump, there are many other publishers!
people really shouldn't talk on topics they're not very informed on, Jump always goes through phases like this where really popular series end, and a majority of remaining series in the magazine aren't as well known simply because they don't have an anime yet. (Sakamoto Days, Witch Watch, Akanebanashi, etc) not to mention Kagurabachi which is already popular. Jump isn't "dying", and I'm tired of this same recycled debate. If there is one thing Shonen Jump is good at, it's producing megahits. That's why it's one of the most competitive manga magazines out there, they always axe series as a path for those mangaka to grow, try again with something better in the future, and to make room for another potential hit. Jump wasn't "dying" when megahits like Slam Dunk or Yu Yu Hakusho ended. Or when Naruto and Bleach ended. They've been doing this for decades. Nothing has changed, the only difference is that now the whole magazine is easily accessible to the western audience, making more people aware of all the lesser known titles that have always been in the magazine alongside the popular ones (this has always been the case) The only difference here is general awareness. Now more people actually know about all of these other smaller titles in the lineup, so you feel like the roster is lackluster. But there lies the main problem, you are placing too much value in popularity. If everyone waited for a series to get established as a popular hit first before jumping in to read it, then none of the manga would ever get the chance to become popular, because no one would be reading them. Just read the manga if it interests you. Being scared of getting attached to a series that might end prematurely is silly because there are tons of axed series that are still worth reading despite having shorter runs. Some axed manga are worth reading for the art alone or witnessing the growth of the mangaka when they return with another work. Everything in the magazine has potential for growth. Witch Watch for example has had extremely subtle long-term growth, has reached over a hundred chapters, and I can see it easily being the spiritual successor to Gintama. Just trust the process. Weekly Shonen Jump is the most popular manga magazine in the world for a reason.
HxH already left the WSJ so even if it comes back it couldn’t be the face of it. I love these kind of videos and they kinda motivate me to do videos like these too cause I’m really interested in the whole manga industry and am striving to become a part of it myself. Already had an interview at headquarters but I still need improve my drawings but I feel like I have to save the jump from dying so watch me maybe being the savior 🙏🏻
I'm one of the few anime enjoyers who didn't grow up with dragon ball. I didn't into anime until I was a sophomore in high school. The Earliest shows I remember watching were Witchblade, Trinity Blood, Black Blood Brothers, Gungrave, and Blassreiter.
Regarding bringing back older artist with successful older series: They already did, they just got axed like the others with no special treatment. Example in no particular order: Naruto -> Samurai 8 (axed) To-Love-Ru -> Ayakashi Triangle (Ended) Assasination Classroom -> Elusive Samurai (ongoing) Hell's Paradise -> Ayashimon (axed) Toriko -> Build King (axed) Hinomaru Sumo -> Martial Master Asumi (axed) Samon the Summoner (arguable if its successful but returning author)-> Super Psychic Policeman Chojo (ongoing) Beelzebub -> Hungry Marie (axed) Shokugeki no Soma -> Tenmaku Cinema (axed) Takopi Original Sin -> Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins (Ended) Sket Dance -> Witch Watch (ongoing) Nurarihyon -> Yui Kamiyo Let Loose (axed) There's also successful/failed author from Weekly Shonen Jump finding themselves on Jump+, so they aren't exactly squandering them. I'd imagine past long running author would rather pass off they work to the next illustrator like Dragon Ball and Naruto since I'd imagine their time with the job isn't exactly to be envied for with how much injury they got. It has since been better with author taking breaks and posting when they want. I'd say that the fix Shonen Jump is going for is with Jump+. They can serialize more series without taking printing spaces, authors have more leniency, they can experiment with weird ideas, and more importantly they are dipping their toes in international audience. There's even initiative with Manga Plus Creators where people worldwide can get a chance to post their work and get serialized in the magazine.
WSJ will probably be inconsistent for a year or two once their heavy hitters end but all of their side industries like Jump + and giga will keep them afloat until they're able to get back on their feet They just need time to cook (and maybe a way to make working in WSJ less taxing on mangaka)
i remember my first introduction to anime was Naruto, catching a peak of my brother watching one of the movies. it immediately caught my interest in a way very few of the western cartoon tv shows or animated moves ever did. i juts loved how the characters looked. after that it was a swift decline into bleach than fairy tail eventually one piece which i put off because of how long it was and spending hours reading manga online or scouring the school library for Shonen jump issues. and slowly as my obsession with anime and manga grew so did my love for art and story telling in general now i spend most of my days at my computer drawing and writing. (quality not withstanding)
I feel like putting more battle shonen in the magazine is a bad idea. blue box and ruri are very popular right now and they aren't battle shonens. WSJ has always thrived on variety and by adding more battle shonen they'll run the risk of isolating a significant chunk of their customers.
I'm happy this one's out and remember you talking about a video like this on the Flow pod. The next couple year's give or take a year or two with OP nearing it's real end it's gonna be something crazy and interesting to see how WSJ handles itself.
I was hyped for a manga called Martial Master Asumi(mma), only for it to get axed at 32 chapters right before what seemed to be a pretty big tournament arc It had its issues and revealed some things to quick, but it had good potential in my eyes. They just cut stories off to much before they let them grow and I don’t know how they’d even let any of them survive to help the magazine
@@Joshua_N-A depends. It got axed but he had to give it an ending. I suppose no if Shonen jump owns the copyright technically? But I’m not familiar with Japanese copyright law, although I’m sure if he could have he’d have put a to be continued at the end and not “the end”
@@Joshua_N-A No. Whenever a mangaka creates a manga for Shonen Jump, Jump legally owns the copyrights for the series and NOT the mangaka. So, unless the mangaka has a special contract like Togashi with Hunter X Hunter, they cannot take the series to another company.
I personally wanted Shonen Jump to give us an Assassination Classroom spinoff off of Nagisa being the teacher that his students want to kill but can't kill. I can't tell you how bad I wanted to see that be a show, but it is what is. Also, Black Clover doesn't have that standing... I wanna recommend that they work with Viz Media(since Shueisha owns them) to get American authors, fans of their manga & magazine, to make manga for them that can be licensed for Shonen Jump, so they have that front page look.
I swear a different youtuber makes this same video every 2 years with this doom posting about how shounen jump needs “saving” despite the top selling manga in Japan nearly all being shounen jump manga and current series like Sakamoto days, akane-babashi, kill blue, witch watch all with great sales. Akane-banashi blowing up especially. Nue’s Exorcist & Kagurabachi being brand new and selling well looking good for Those two. Blue Box another big series always being at the top of TOC. And ultimately the bigger fact to debunk your whole video “and all like this by similar UA-camrs ”. Jumps biggest competition, weekly shounen magazine’s series sales pale in comparison and not even hitting half of the sales numbers of jump. Jump is in no way in any trouble.
I mean it's true modern shonen is obviously just a cashgrab now. When was the last time a story being told was actually good, with no animation carrying it
@@kiratwo4uthat’s a matter of personal taste. Just bc You personally don’t like modern shonen think that doesn’t mean the masses do. Financially and sells wise WSJ is killing its competition and most of their modern series are dominated japans top manga sales. Making this video completely moot
Wdym, Jump's dying? KaguraBachi is right there. Jokes aside the first arc of KB got me hooked. Sojo was a fucking fantastic villain for the first arc. If Hokazono Takeru continues to cook then I am sure Rakuzaichi arc will be peak too. Also what are your thoughts on KaguraBachi? Did you enjoy it?
I consider One Piece to be one of my favorite fantasy mangas of all time and I have only collected 63 volumes in these 21 omnibus books to catch up with the series. I have saw the first the first half of the anime in it’s original dub just just to get lousy 4kids dub obsession out of my head and the continued watching the second half in English dub, which I have to say is a lot more fun than the last, I do have say that Eric Vale does a really awesome job playing Vinsmoke Sanji.
I feel shonen jump needs to allow series more time before cutting them off. Many of the hot series they have now took time to get big. It wasn’t a hit out of the gates for all of them. Also they need to pick stories that a fresh, and have main characters that aren’t the same stereotypes. The promise never land is a incredible example as the manga did a unique spin on a story that’s been already told.
My first animes (that I didn't know were anime, nor that they were coming from Japan, because Polish television just got an italian dub and had someone speaking over it in Polish as a translation) were Teknoman and Yattaman, though they were more of a mecha/sf anime than shonen. Funnily enough, I am a rare case who didn't watch Dragon Ball until much later and my shonen journey started with Naruto, lol.
Shounen jump will be okay but i think future top selling manga for WSJ will be adventure stories like One Piece and HxH. Battle shounen from 2026-2036 will probably be at it's lowest at this time
Everyone thinks something bad is gonna happen to shonen jump as a company when 4 manga in one magazine out of many others end and that's stupid wsj alone always has more than 10 series. Answer me this did jump die when dbz ended did it die when bleach and naruto ended did it die when demon slayer ended or when csm part 1 ended and we waited 2 years for part 2 did some happen to jump so when I tell you when mha and jjk end even when op ends nothing is gonna happen to jump as a magazine and a publisher I guarantee you jump is NOT dying and will not die.
It didn't die FULLY but there was a grey area when Yu Yu Hakusho, Slam Dunk, and Dragon Ball ended it was a really dry period so yes it di d die down for a while until of course the big three came along. It didn't die when Bleach or Naruto cause it had MHA & BC & TPN & Gintama and Haikyuu like do I need to keep going? I see where you're coming from however we have nothing building up so I feel like if you watched the full vid you would understand that a bit lol.
@animeaugie yes it did have a dry period but that's cus people don't read enough of the magazine you mentioned 4 or 5 manga titles when jump offers double that of not more to read the problem is people not exploring and reading diffrent genres and Mangas.
Jump always find ways to release bangers after bangers so even after their biggest manga finishes, there will always be a new series that becomes a surprise hit so I don’t think the magazine will die anytime soon. I’m sure they will still be extremely relevant 30-40 years from now.
One thing I wanna note shonen isn’t a genre it’s a demographic. And while WSJ is know for their battle manga. I think if they allow new manga with different genres to actually thrive and not be axe than they should be fine and keep on thriving. Also I believe they shouldn’t do weekly for one chapter since that’s so bad for the manga artist mental health. Two weeks or even a month wouldn’t be a bad idea especially since people are making shorter series now and not 300+ chapters long running stories.
Maybe these series popular in the west, but if you see their japanese manga sales, while One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen sold over a million copies, but from these 3, only Dragon Ball Super sold over 100 thousand copies.
@@Vashisthart bro kagurabachi outsold in amazon and yahoo, and you think it didn't sold well, it sold almost how many copies are available, just check it on the internet it sold more than 24 000 copies and getting a reprint to sell even more , your logic is... I don't know what to say

I like the video a lot, but my main issue is that you didn’t bring up Nue’s exorcist. Regardless of how people feel about it in the west, it sells extremely well and Jump is clearly planning to make it a bigger part of the magazine. I say this because it consistently gets a color page once a month, and, if the leaks are to be believed, it is one of the two series planned to take My Hero Academia’s spot on their active series banner.
@@TheEndlessEgoist haven’t read eyeshield 21 yet but I agree nine ball had so much potential but hopefully down the line shueisha does another baseball manga
I was done with estimating One Piece's end after I graduated highschool when Oda and his editor said it was 65-70% done that was around the time Punk Hazard was going on in the Manga
[To any noobs reading this] You know, as someone who writes and draws fiction (not sure what kind yet, but I do) the best way to start a story is with narration. Regardless of what CinemaBin tells you, weaving an explanation into the story seamlessly with just dialogue, and without it becoming bloated exposition, takes serious creativity, so simple narration here and there allows for explanation of points that can't be shown properly with visuals. Of course, (and I don't have to tell you this if you write manga instead of novels) narration should be used in moderation. Over-explanation is boring. Just because some things are hard to convey without words, doesn't mean that _everything_ should be conveyed with words. If someone feels sad or angry, and they're not some emotionless robot, then show it on their face, or have them express it with body language. Don't tell us someone's mad unless they can't show it in any way. Imagination and free interpretation leads to readers making theories and discussion when done right, while forcefeeding your audience with a giant wall of text will scare them off. Attack names are actually exempt from this rule since giving similar or confusing attacks names helps to give the readers some idea of what the attacker is doing to the attackee(s), while differentiating between the moves that are different in execution or effect. A perfect example is the difference between Monkey D Luffy's various attacks, which at first glance are just him punching really fast and hard. To differentiate between different speeds and sizes of punches, kicks and such, Luffy uses specific tags for when he puts a twist or boost to his normal moveset. (Gear second attacks have the "Jet" tag added as they are significantly faster than his normal ones.) Note that you don't necessarily need attack names if your character isn't the type to yell their attacks with every swing. Having them move smoothly and silently through strings of attacks can still be enough if done right. It can also allow dialogue during battle without interruption if you want your characters to do that. Romance writers this section is for you. If you plan of them meeting first, then have the relationship build up and reach a satisfying conclusion. None of that cliffhanger bullshit. No sane person wants to read a 100+ chapter teasefest which ends exactly where it started. If you don't feel like MC and FeMC should get together at the end, then at least have them grow as characters so that the readers feel like something was accomplished instead of like they wasted their time on you. Now before I go, one more thing. 😊GANBARE! DO YOUR BEST!😊
There are faint beep sounds in the intro background music and it's really annoying if you can hear them. Especially the beep I hear in the right ear cup is very irritating.
Did this guy just completely forget about Chainsaw Man? I don't think there's been any talk of it going away anytime soon and the Reze movie is currently being produced so I think it still has a lot of growing potential to become the WSJ frontrunner once those other major series stop serialization. Though there definitely needs to be 1 or 2 others to rise to fame as well so help carry the magazine since it's historically never been 1 single series to carry and usually 2-3.
Gachikuta will most likely be the new Jjk or Demon Slayer most likely animated by Mappa or Ufotable and probably be as long as them as well.Thing is it’s not WSJ.
Shonen is doomed, Fire force gone Demon slayer gone Mha gone Jjk is ending this year Black clover ending this year That only leaves one piece, sakamoto days & kagura bachi Sakamoto days isn’t that popular, and the anime won’t dramatically change that Kagurabachi has a chance, Dandadan is trash Csm fell off For the sake of it let’s say kagurabachi & sakamoto days takes off That leaves op, KB & SD Those 2 series(KB & SD) cannot take up the hype/income of Only JJK, let alone adding in mha Shonen jump is 1000% going to lose money, and there’s nothing they can do about it, they honestly did this to themselves by trying to keep up that same bs formula (underdog mc with mid powers who relies on asspull power ups & power of friendship) also the antagonists having super op powers, and having them be defeated essentially the same way by the protagonists, that has bit shonen jump in the butt, why do you think the newer shonen titles have changed to be more like seinen(darker, more maturity, etc etc)
@@SamTheGumMan117 Idk, Boruto exists and Kishimoto isn't even the one continuing the series. I've heard the same about Super and Toriyama. They've been passed on to others. The creators aren't the ones continuing the franchises. Either way, spin-offs will continue the series all the same. It doesn't need to be a sequel for the companies involved. All that matters is if it will last for years to come. To keep the franchises going in some form.
@@Joshua_N-A I’ve heard conflicting things about whether he came back or not. If he’s really writing for the series or only over-seeing Boruto. A lot of fans have noted how different Boruto even in its current form is different to when Kishimoto was writing. I’ve also heard the book cover credits haven’t changed to reflect Kishimoto is writing again (supposedly). How much involvement does Kishimoto have and is this just a case of slapping his name on Boruto because the series was struggling without Kishimoto and apparently Kishimoto’s new works weren’t doing well either. So his plan to move on didn’t go as well. There are cases where a creator of a franchise or series will be credited, but have little to no involvement in a project. Sometimes creators will like a fanfic so much they’ll allow it to be published and then add their name because, technically, it is their franchise still, even if the work got to be officially published, but is written by someone else. There’s all sorts of ways for a creator to be credited, but have suspect involvement in a project. I do know Kishimoto wasn’t interested in continuing Naruto. That’s why Kodochi was writing Boruto in the beginning. I also read Kishimoto’s supposed return was more recent than that. Only since a year ago. Sometime in ‘22. At best, I’ve heard Kishimoto is in a supervisory role in Boruto currently. It also sounds like Kishimoto is more interested in a live action Naruto than anything related to Boruto.
I'm not too concerned about the wsj after One Piece, JJK, and MHA ending. A lot of long running series in the mag have ended, even ones we never heard of in the west and they kept on going. I think Kagurabachi has a high chance of being wsj's next big thing but we're gonna need to wait and see. It could also be Sakamoto Days, but i feel like its nearing its end. I thought Mashle would be it, but it ended last year. And Kaiju No. 8 is on in Jump+ so i dont know if it counts.
Have you seen what those weekly serials do to those poor mangaka? Pure stress, weekly performance reviews, contracted staff, limited artistic control, poor working conditions, all based on popularity and the ability for your fans to buy merchandise and individual volumes to boost your brand and significance worldwide.
Egghead island started in the last QTR of 2022 if I’m recalling correctly & it’s still not done 😅 tbh I don’t think One Piece is going to hit that 5 year prediction Oda previously mentioned
There is no problem. This is how jump has always been. One Piece, Naruto DBZ, Saiki K (yes he counts too) are all crazy exceptions that are able to run longer than 5 years. If you run longer than 5 years youre basically part of the hall of fame. And I think theres like less than 30mangas that achieved that in Weekly sjonen jump
Idk about Shonen Jump ending just cause one piece ends and there not being any long term series out. There’s still plenty of shorter series. I guarantee Frieren is going to start selling a lot more with how popular the show has been. It might last a long time, too. There’s so much they can do with that world. Chainsaw man is still going strong with being the 5th best selling manga series last year. Blue lock was the best selling last year and that’s still going. Shonen jump won’t end. It’s just the long series. And who knows, maybe someone will come out with a series soon that stays a long time.
The magazine has always axed stories. That's nothing new. I don't think anything will happen to the magazine. They'll find other series. Will they be as long as the big 3 or DB? Probably not, but those types of hits don't happen every day. Most battle franchises only go for about 100 episodes or however many chapters that is in manga form. Most franchises aren't going to go for as long as those heavy hitters did. 15 years of a franchise is a big ask. Most of them aren't going to be One Piece which I'm almost certain will still be running even when I'm an old lady. And if it does happen to end. I'm sure The One Piece will still be continuing the story.
I feel the biggest problem with Shonen Jump and the new series they put out there is just how impatient they are. I get that they want new, popular series that'll bring in more and more people, but it feels like they're incapable of letting the newbies develop at their own pace. Believe it or not, a lot of stories don't have the most exciting of beginnings. Most take a while to lay out the rules of the world, the characters, and the type of story they want to tell.
no they've always been like that. you only say that now because of Jump + Being accessible and social media.
TOC and sales are important being in the top 10 in the TOC for a series that is new is a huge deal and maintaining that spot is also huge.
they know what they are doing. the this system is good enough and been working well so far.
There will never be a new Big 3, Shonen Jump should get comfortable with that fact now.
Absolutely agree they need to let them cook
@@jase276 few years back then i believe this but Tbh,they always provide new hit for each generation
I remember this conversation happening around the end of Bleach and Naruto. Reality is the next thing will be here before we know it. Feels like yesterday AoT, JJK and MHA were just coming out as the new kids in the block. Everything will be just fine.
AoT, JJK, and MHA are no where near the likes of the Big 3. AoT held its own but MHA and JJK both suffered from burn out and are pretty mid. If they are indication of the future of manga/anime theeen we're in for a future of mid.
@@jase276 I mean JJK has 90 million copies sold over 6 years with volume 26 releasing soon. For example Bleach at 26 volumes only had 39 million sold. I can't find numbers for Naruto which would be a better indicator though since it was way more popular than Bleach. One Piece averages 4.89 mil per volume so that would = 126 mil at 26 volumes and that's One Piece, the best selling manga ever. So idk I think the newer manga like JJK/MHA and the like are all fine and doing exceptionally well still. Manga sales in general have fallen in recent years so that also might explain it.
I think you're just experiencing the online meme hate train that comes for every big series eventually. Because the numbers really say otherwise. Even if people say those series are "mid" it really seems like its just a vocal minority online stirring the pot and trying to be hipsters for hating on the current big series.
@@jase276 kagura bachi will save us out of joke
@@solodolo7161 I mean u are comparing sales back in the 90's and early 2000's to sales in current years where anime and manga are like 20x more popular. I know manga sales as a whole has decreased but yeah thats that. But yeah shounen jump will always have something to take up the torch. I mean OP is still going too. OP sales might be far below its prime days but its still like top 3 best selling every year and sells at around 10 mil every year. And that with only 1 volume coming out per year in these recent years.
Yeah, but most of the new lineup (JJK,Chainsaw Man, Kaiju No. 8, etc.) are too edgy for me. I like them, but I want a lighter, more classic shonens too.
The problem with newer Battle Shonen manga or newer manga is that they are trying to be eye catching quickly not building up the series
They 100% get axed nowadays if they try to be a slowburn
Yeah it's sad :(
@@tfraenckel shonen jump is very quick to axe series that aren't doing well. JJK was almost axed in its begining
That's why I don't enjoy a lot of newer Shonen Jump manga anymore, their format is good for catching attention but they don't allow the story to build themselves up properly. A lot of interesting looking manga with good potential got axed so quick back when I was still reading their new manga a decade ago.
@@op-bv7cs Funny how JJK and Demon Slayer were both almost got axed, changed their pacing to be more rapid and became one of the most popular works currently
"Shonen jump hall of fame" nah we need to all discuss this topic cuz that's a banger discussion here.
Facts
After Dragon Ball ended Togashi was given a contract where he had to make a battle Shonen for the magazine but he had more creative freedom and was allowed more frequent hiatuses, that’s how HxH was born.
With so many major titles ending in WSJ, I believe management is giving the author of Demon Slayer a similar deal and they’re making sure the series is extremely high quality which is why we haven’t heard anything yet.
Did you mean yu yu hakusho or did Togashi actually illustrate for dragon ball?
@@shadownetwork YYH had been over for a while at that point, but WSJ didn’t have a sure fire hit up its sleeve after Dragon Ball, their biggest series at the time, ended.
Now they’re in a similar situation where several of their most popular series are about to end, it would make sense if they gave Koyoharu Gotouge a similar contract to what Togashi got to ensure they have a hit in the magazine.
Rip Toriyama
Hot take, Demon Slayer's manga was mid. It got some buzz, sure but no one really cared until ufotable did the anime. It's the ANIME that blew up not only in Japan but the entire world. And let me tell you, as we're getting down the wire in the anime, the shortcomings of the manga are surely easy to notice. So, banking on the author of Demon Slayer will not create another HxH effect. But, hey, i'd love to be proven wrong. I've been reading manga since the Big 3 and it looks like everyone, Shonen Jump included, wants their manga to be just as big and last just as long but a lot of these new mangaka obviously can't hang long enough and burn out.
This is wrong. Togashi after Yu Yu Hakusho, and after Dragon Ball ending, wrote Level E. From ending of 1995 to 1997.
Hunter x Hunter was done 1 year after Level E.
About the magazine after Dragon Ball. The biggest series was a Sport anime, Slam Dunk. That unfortunately ended 1 year later.
After that the best series was Rurouni Kenshin(Samurai X).
The biggest battle shonen after Dragon Ball, and right when One Piece started were:
Rurouni Kenshin(Samurai X)
Hareluya Boys II
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure(Yes at this time the series was still running in Weekly shonen Jump)
Rokudenashi Blues
Dragon Quest
Hell Teacher Nube
Ninku
Hoshin Engin
Yu-Gi-Oh
Bastard!!!
So it was still full of famous Battle Shonen, still nothing as popular as Dragon Ball.
oda has said one piece will end in a few years for like 10 years now, its a meme at this point
Sure but if you read the story and know that we're in the final saga my guess is 5 years tops like it's so easy to map out the end game at this point in my op.
@animeaugie 5 seems like to much maybe 2 or 3
@@animeaugie On top of that he is picking up the pace compared to others arcs
@@Jonathan-tw4xmI say 5 years is perfect, given Oda's regular breaks every 3-4 chapters, about 150 to 200 chapters away from the end. We get maybe 5 more chapters of Egghead and then 20-30 chapters of Elbaf and then it's all the final arc.
@@animeaugieNah
if sakamoto days get a anime adaptation with really high quality, it could blow up
Been thinking this same thing. So much potential . Kaiju number 8 looks interesting as well hopefully the adaptation is just as good as the manga
As a mangaka striving to make series as inspirational as One Piece and as Heart pumping as Bleach/JJK, I’m crossing my fingers for some worthy competition in this new generation of Shonen 💪💪
Good job mate Im also developing a story (about to learn how to draw manga) so let's be rivals
good luck, i hope you make a great series🙏
Good luck!!
Good luck to the both of you, I hope to see your stories sometime soon
@@GabrielAogo ayeee let’s go 🤝🤝 what’s your name (and possibly ur upcoming series) so I can remember you and cheer you on
I’ll say this, even if One piece ends, there won’t be another long running series like One Piece for a very long time. One piece is a unique series that happens to be on going for years because of a one of a kind author dedication to keep giving more stories to tell about this world he created. It’s rare to find another author like Oda, like catching lighting in a bottle. We might never get another long running and amazing series like One piece in our life time but Shonen Jump will keep going forward with new series. When Fist of the North Star end, Shonen Jump kept moving forward. When Dragon Ball end, Shonen Jump kept going forward. When Bleach and Naruto end, Shonen jump kept moving forward. Shonen jump will always learn to move on from popular series and focus on the future to keep investing on new original series. Whether those series are here for a short time or a very long time.
Very true
OP tho
Detective Conan ? Doraemon? And even more?
Sorry for you , but One Peice isn't the longest running manga out there.
I don't think there will ever be another shonen like One Piece again. One Piece has been around for so long that other shonen that it inspired have started and ended or are wrapping up soon, the industry is changing. The large majority of recent manga and anime are more short form or don't have the same scope that Oda does with his series. It's not realistic to expect another series like One Piece because Oda is simply not human. I'm not saying series of the same quality will never come out again, but something with the same scope and lifespan as One Piece is something that only comes around once in a blue moon
@@SraHjiej-dq7olI think he meant long running popular series.
I’ve still been enjoying a good handful of the series, but pretty soon Shonen Jump is gonna need some series to backfill those same series ending real soon. If they could stop swinging that ax so damn much, that’d be great.
The series need to sell to not be axed
@@murderman8578 I understand that, but the series could be given a bit more of a chance. Maybe not just the first volume sales, like the first two or three…
@NinthShinigami if sales are low there's a huge doubt that they will increase
@NinthShinigami they've lowkey been a bit more resistant when it comes to axing manga. Some of the recent axed manga have hit 30+ chapters which is way better than a couple years ago so things are improving
@@NinthShinigami tbh none of the series that have been axed have been interesting or they were rushed or too slow.
The production quality is so high! How is this channel not more popular??? Gteat video :D
MMA could've been a goated sport series if it sold better
I haven't read any MMA series but it def has some potential I think when it comes to sport series it isn't about the sport at all until later you really gotta build up the characters first!
I don't like betting on Shonen Jump dying, but I think it's just in a creative drought stage. Shonen Jump needs longform series more than anything else, and there's not a lot of people out there as dedicated as the likes of Eichiro Oda. Look at how many series have come and gone since One Piece started, it's their golden goose and nobody is coming close to the level of love and dedication he has for his work. Either Jump needs to change or another prodigy comes along, since I'm pretty sure the Japanese manga industry is gruelling. I'm never going to pretend that we're in a creative drought, people will always come out with great ideas that sell well. But the concepts people come up with might not be suited for longform series like the average Shonen manga anymore
I feel like jump plus is where the newgens are gonna develop. Csm sxf dandadan. All these series have that face of the magazine potential
I’ve started to make a manga that’s gonna be very long and has insane world building but since I’m not Japanese it probably won’t get any recognition when I try to publish it. Idk much about the magazine itself but Perhaps if shonen jump will add a foreign section of their magazine, they can market creators from other countries bc I’ve seen a lot of non Japanese people that are making really good looking manga and I think it would be really cool to see the cultures collide and work together to spread their love for manga
That’s interesting! I actually prefer that only Japanese manga are featured. I like that it’s their own thing, I don’t think I’d be nice if they added a foreign section. That’s weird, you can make a comic and if they like it they might adapt it like solo leveling which is originally a manhwa (Korean). Also, I suggest learning Japanese and you can then enter awards for manga and stuff and you might get recognized by shonen jump + you’ll get an editor and Tada! And it doesn’t have to be shonen jump, there are many other publishers!
people really shouldn't talk on topics they're not very informed on, Jump always goes through phases like this where really popular series end, and a majority of remaining series in the magazine aren't as well known simply because they don't have an anime yet. (Sakamoto Days, Witch Watch, Akanebanashi, etc) not to mention Kagurabachi which is already popular.
Jump isn't "dying", and I'm tired of this same recycled debate. If there is one thing Shonen Jump is good at, it's producing megahits. That's why it's one of the most competitive manga magazines out there, they always axe series as a path for those mangaka to grow, try again with something better in the future, and to make room for another potential hit. Jump wasn't "dying" when megahits like Slam Dunk or Yu Yu Hakusho ended. Or when Naruto and Bleach ended.
They've been doing this for decades. Nothing has changed, the only difference is that now the whole magazine is easily accessible to the western audience, making more people aware of all the lesser known titles that have always been in the magazine alongside the popular ones (this has always been the case)
The only difference here is general awareness. Now more people actually know about all of these other smaller titles in the lineup, so you feel like the roster is lackluster.
But there lies the main problem, you are placing too much value in popularity. If everyone waited for a series to get established as a popular hit first before jumping in to read it, then none of the manga would ever get the chance to become popular, because no one would be reading them. Just read the manga if it interests you. Being scared of getting attached to a series that might end prematurely is silly because there are tons of axed series that are still worth reading despite having shorter runs. Some axed manga are worth reading for the art alone or witnessing the growth of the mangaka when they return with another work. Everything in the magazine has potential for growth. Witch Watch for example has had extremely subtle long-term growth, has reached over a hundred chapters, and I can see it easily being the spiritual successor to Gintama.
Just trust the process. Weekly Shonen Jump is the most popular manga magazine in the world for a reason.
Shonen series run so fast you can't keep up with the story. But One Piece will always be all over the place
@udayjoshi1642I hope it stays slow,all other shonen in comparison to one piece are considered to be rushed.
@udayjoshi1642depends on whether you're watching or reading it really

My brain is struggling to understand what you mean.
HxH already left the WSJ so even if it comes back it couldn’t be the face of it.

Much love
Thanks for the great explanation and I really love your name ends in ie !
Woah! Thank you for the donation (I didn't even know you could get a donation on a video lol) And thanks for the support!
Been scrolling through your stuff and its great
I remember when I was a kid, the whole family including my grandma used to watch DBZ when it's on the local channels.
Those were the days.
sakamoto days so underrated
I'm one of the few anime enjoyers who didn't grow up with dragon ball. I didn't into anime until I was a sophomore in high school. The Earliest shows I remember watching were Witchblade, Trinity Blood, Black Blood Brothers, Gungrave, and Blassreiter.
Regarding bringing back older artist with successful older series: They already did, they just got axed like the others with no special treatment. Example in no particular order:
Naruto -> Samurai 8 (axed)
To-Love-Ru -> Ayakashi Triangle (Ended)
Assasination Classroom -> Elusive Samurai (ongoing)
Hell's Paradise -> Ayashimon (axed)
Toriko -> Build King (axed)
Hinomaru Sumo -> Martial Master Asumi (axed)
Samon the Summoner (arguable if its successful but returning author)-> Super Psychic Policeman Chojo (ongoing)
Beelzebub -> Hungry Marie (axed)
Shokugeki no Soma -> Tenmaku Cinema (axed)
Takopi Original Sin -> Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins (Ended)
Sket Dance -> Witch Watch (ongoing)
Nurarihyon -> Yui Kamiyo Let Loose (axed)
There's also successful/failed author from Weekly Shonen Jump finding themselves on Jump+, so they aren't exactly squandering them. I'd imagine past long running author would rather pass off they work to the next illustrator like Dragon Ball and Naruto since I'd imagine their time with the job isn't exactly to be envied for with how much injury they got. It has since been better with author taking breaks and posting when they want. I'd say that the fix Shonen Jump is going for is with Jump+.
They can serialize more series without taking printing spaces, authors have more leniency, they can experiment with weird ideas, and more importantly they are dipping their toes in international audience. There's even initiative with Manga Plus Creators where people worldwide can get a chance to post their work and get serialized in the magazine.
WSJ will probably be inconsistent for a year or two once their heavy hitters end but all of their side industries like Jump + and giga will keep them afloat until they're able to get back on their feet
They just need time to cook (and maybe a way to make working in WSJ less taxing on mangaka)
i remember my first introduction to anime was Naruto, catching a peak of my brother watching one of the movies. it immediately caught my interest in a way very few of the western cartoon tv shows or animated moves ever did. i juts loved how the characters looked. after that it was a swift decline into bleach than fairy tail eventually one piece which i put off because of how long it was and spending hours reading manga online or scouring the school library for Shonen jump issues. and slowly as my obsession with anime and manga grew so did my love for art and story telling in general now i spend most of my days at my computer drawing and writing. (quality not withstanding)
I feel like putting more battle shonen in the magazine is a bad idea. blue box and ruri are very popular right now and they aren't battle shonens. WSJ has always thrived on variety and by adding more battle shonen they'll run the risk of isolating a significant chunk of their customers.
I'm happy this one's out and remember you talking about a video like this on the Flow pod. The next couple year's give or take a year or two with OP nearing it's real end it's gonna be something crazy and interesting to see how WSJ handles itself.
One Piece still got 5-8 years bro
Sam a real one
I was hyped for a manga called Martial Master Asumi(mma), only for it to get axed at 32 chapters right before what seemed to be a pretty big tournament arc
It had its issues and revealed some things to quick, but it had good potential in my eyes. They just cut stories off to much before they let them grow and I don’t know how they’d even let any of them survive to help the magazine
Couldn't the author just bring the IP to another company so it can continue?
@@Joshua_N-A depends. It got axed but he had to give it an ending. I suppose no if Shonen jump owns the copyright technically? But I’m not familiar with Japanese copyright law, although I’m sure if he could have he’d have put a to be continued at the end and not “the end”
@@Joshua_N-A No. Whenever a mangaka creates a manga for Shonen Jump, Jump legally owns the copyrights for the series and NOT the mangaka.
So, unless the mangaka has a special contract like Togashi with Hunter X Hunter, they cannot take the series to another company.
@@TheBlueBlur100literally every mangaka co own their manga
Blue box, akane banashi, and sakamoto days all go crazy hard. I hopethey all get proper length runs.
Bleach is awesome
Agreed, phenomenal as far as I go, forever my favorite manga
pretty good
@@NinthShinigami yeah my favourite anime of all time they had so much extra content in the anime its amazing I love kon
Good beverage
Yes.
I personally wanted Shonen Jump to give us an Assassination Classroom spinoff off of Nagisa being the teacher that his students want to kill but can't kill. I can't tell you how bad I wanted to see that be a show, but it is what is. Also, Black Clover doesn't have that standing...
I wanna recommend that they work with Viz Media(since Shueisha owns them) to get American authors, fans of their manga & magazine, to make manga for them that can be licensed for Shonen Jump, so they have that front page look.
Ruri Dragon just returned!!!!!!
This video is very high quality, underrated video
Appreciate you :)
I swear a different youtuber makes this same video every 2 years with this doom posting about how shounen jump needs “saving” despite the top selling manga in Japan nearly all being shounen jump manga and current series like Sakamoto days, akane-babashi, kill blue, witch watch all with great sales. Akane-banashi blowing up especially. Nue’s Exorcist & Kagurabachi being brand new and selling well looking good for Those two. Blue Box another big series always being at the top of TOC.
And ultimately the bigger fact to debunk your whole video “and all like this by similar UA-camrs ”. Jumps biggest competition, weekly shounen magazine’s series sales pale in comparison and not even hitting half of the sales numbers of jump. Jump is in no way in any trouble.
I mean it's true modern shonen is obviously just a cashgrab now. When was the last time a story being told was actually good, with no animation carrying it
@@kiratwo4uthat’s a matter of personal taste. Just bc You personally don’t like modern shonen think that doesn’t mean the masses do. Financially and sells wise WSJ is killing its competition and most of their modern series are dominated japans top manga sales. Making this video completely moot
Wdym, Jump's dying? KaguraBachi is right there.
Jokes aside the first arc of KB got me hooked. Sojo was a fucking fantastic villain for the first arc.
If Hokazono Takeru continues to cook then I am sure Rakuzaichi arc will be peak too.
Also what are your thoughts on KaguraBachi? Did you enjoy it?
I’m letting chapters build up atm I read the first few but have also seen art throughout the series so far and it looks fire
Just listening about One Piece 's end coming near feels kinda depressing
I consider One Piece to be one of my favorite fantasy mangas of all time and I have only collected 63 volumes in these 21 omnibus books to catch up with the series. I have saw the first the first half of the anime in it’s original dub just just to get lousy 4kids dub obsession out of my head and the continued watching the second half in English dub, which I have to say is a lot more fun than the last, I do have say that Eric Vale does a really awesome job playing Vinsmoke Sanji.
Dragon ball will never be forgotten
Never
Kagurabachi is here to save it don’t worry
The fact that you used multiple jjk ost's, shows how elite the music is. Great video tho🔥
I feel shonen jump needs to allow series more time before cutting them off. Many of the hot series they have now took time to get big. It wasn’t a hit out of the gates for all of them. Also they need to pick stories that a fresh, and have main characters that aren’t the same stereotypes. The promise never land is a incredible example as the manga did a unique spin on a story that’s been already told.
100% agree
W video Augie
Also the outro with you say run was amazing !!!
The series i like are around 2000 upto 2015 thats all. 😊
I love your editing style in your videos bro
Editing wasn't me this time but all flowers to the man in the description!
My first animes (that I didn't know were anime, nor that they were coming from Japan, because Polish television just got an italian dub and had someone speaking over it in Polish as a translation) were Teknoman and Yattaman, though they were more of a mecha/sf anime than shonen. Funnily enough, I am a rare case who didn't watch Dragon Ball until much later and my shonen journey started with Naruto, lol.
Ruridragon just came back with a weekly schedule, so I'm really happy to read something on One Piece's off weeks
Shounen jump will be okay but i think future top selling manga for WSJ will be adventure stories like One Piece and HxH. Battle shounen from 2026-2036 will probably be at it's lowest at this time
Great video :D
Thank you :D
Who am fooling who am I kidding when they say "what's shonen jump?" And I say chilling.
Everyone thinks something bad is gonna happen to shonen jump as a company when 4 manga in one magazine out of many others end and that's stupid wsj alone always has more than 10 series. Answer me this did jump die when dbz ended did it die when bleach and naruto ended did it die when demon slayer ended or when csm part 1 ended and we waited 2 years for part 2 did some happen to jump so when I tell you when mha and jjk end even when op ends nothing is gonna happen to jump as a magazine and a publisher I guarantee you jump is NOT dying and will not die.
Fr
It didn't die FULLY but there was a grey area when Yu Yu Hakusho, Slam Dunk, and Dragon Ball ended it was a really dry period so yes it di d die down for a while until of course the big three came along. It didn't die when Bleach or Naruto cause it had MHA & BC & TPN & Gintama and Haikyuu like do I need to keep going? I see where you're coming from however we have nothing building up so I feel like if you watched the full vid you would understand that a bit lol.
@animeaugie yes it did have a dry period but that's cus people don't read enough of the magazine you mentioned 4 or 5 manga titles when jump offers double that of not more to read the problem is people not exploring and reading diffrent genres and Mangas.
Jump always find ways to release bangers after bangers so even after their biggest manga finishes, there will always be a new series that becomes a surprise hit so I don’t think the magazine will die anytime soon. I’m sure they will still be extremely relevant 30-40 years from now.
One thing I wanna note shonen isn’t a genre it’s a demographic. And while WSJ is know for their battle manga. I think if they allow new manga with different genres to actually thrive and not be axe than they should be fine and keep on thriving. Also I believe they shouldn’t do weekly for one chapter since that’s so bad for the manga artist mental health. Two weeks or even a month wouldn’t be a bad idea especially since people are making shorter series now and not 300+ chapters long running stories.
great video, editor was CRAAAZY

I stopped reading manga after Black Clover's writer kept getting sick. I will catch up on Kaiju 8 eventually though.
Get back on bc
Black clover is much better than kaiju 8
I'm not sure if he got sick but he switched to Jump Giga which releases like D.Gray-Man every few months or so.
Enough time has passed. Kagurabachi solos DBZ super universe without using a sword
the death of long running manga( 400+chapters)
I mean World trigger has shown that it's sticking around, unfortunately it's not a weekly jump series, it's a monthly jump
The moment I heard 6:34 , which is from an OST from Gintama, I recently subscribed to your channel!
I like the video a lot, but my main issue is that you didn’t bring up Nue’s exorcist. Regardless of how people feel about it in the west, it sells extremely well and Jump is clearly planning to make it a bigger part of the magazine. I say this because it consistently gets a color page once a month, and, if the leaks are to be believed, it is one of the two series planned to take My Hero Academia’s spot on their active series banner.
Love for the Gintama OST
I love shueisha but they always break my heart by canceling the series i love like Kowloon nine ball parade, ice head gill, PPPPP, and phantom seer😢😢
They didn't sell enough
@@murderman8578 it sold enough copies in my heart though 🥲
@ElusiveRonin I just finished Nine Ball Parade and man I wish it wasn't rushed, it had potential to be baseball Eyeshield 21 lite
@@TheEndlessEgoist haven’t read eyeshield 21 yet but I agree nine ball had so much potential but hopefully down the line shueisha does another baseball manga
I will never forgive for Phantom Seer man smh.
I was done with estimating One Piece's end after I graduated highschool when Oda and his editor said it was 65-70% done that was around the time Punk Hazard was going on in the Manga
I really enjoy mission yozakura

You know, as someone who writes and draws fiction (not sure what kind yet, but I do) the best way to start a story is with narration. Regardless of what CinemaBin tells you, weaving an explanation into the story seamlessly with just dialogue, and without it becoming bloated exposition, takes serious creativity, so simple narration here and there allows for explanation of points that can't be shown properly with visuals. Of course, (and I don't have to tell you this if you write manga instead of novels) narration should be used in moderation. Over-explanation is boring. Just because some things are hard to convey without words, doesn't mean that _everything_ should be conveyed with words. If someone feels sad or angry, and they're not some emotionless robot, then show it on their face, or have them express it with body language. Don't tell us someone's mad unless they can't show it in any way. Imagination and free interpretation leads to readers making theories and discussion when done right, while forcefeeding your audience with a giant wall of text will scare them off. Attack names are actually exempt from this rule since giving similar or confusing attacks names helps to give the readers some idea of what the attacker is doing to the attackee(s), while differentiating between the moves that are different in execution or effect. A perfect example is the difference between Monkey D Luffy's various attacks, which at first glance are just him punching really fast and hard. To differentiate between different speeds and sizes of punches, kicks and such, Luffy uses specific tags for when he puts a twist or boost to his normal moveset. (Gear second attacks have the "Jet" tag added as they are significantly faster than his normal ones.) Note that you don't necessarily need attack names if your character isn't the type to yell their attacks with every swing. Having them move smoothly and silently through strings of attacks can still be enough if done right. It can also allow dialogue during battle without interruption if you want your characters to do that.
Romance writers this section is for you. If you plan of them meeting first, then have the relationship build up and reach a satisfying conclusion. None of that cliffhanger bullshit. No sane person wants to read a 100+ chapter teasefest which ends exactly where it started. If you don't feel like MC and FeMC should get together at the end, then at least have them grow as characters so that the readers feel like something was accomplished instead of like they wasted their time on you.
Now before I go, one more thing.
😊GANBARE! DO YOUR BEST!😊
Inuyasha was what got me into anima
Dragon ball Z was what got me to stay
Why hi hey and hello there and greetings to you I Am A Number One Fan
There are faint beep sounds in the intro background music and it's really annoying if you can hear them. Especially the beep I hear in the right ear cup is very irritating.
Did this guy just completely forget about Chainsaw Man? I don't think there's been any talk of it going away anytime soon and the Reze movie is currently being produced so I think it still has a lot of growing potential to become the WSJ frontrunner once those other major series stop serialization. Though there definitely needs to be 1 or 2 others to rise to fame as well so help carry the magazine since it's historically never been 1 single series to carry and usually 2-3.
Did you forget that chainsaw man switched magazines 🤯🤯
But I agree chainsaw man isn’t going nowhere although it definitely has decreased in popularity since being published in wsj
Great Video 🔥🔥🔥
If the haikyuu creators made a battle Shonen with a good power system I'd be so down
SAME honestly I just really love their character building and designs so I'm down for anything tbh.
Jump will be fine. Non issue.
I think gachiakuta has potential for being long, and its already good so i wont say thats a bad thing at all.
that's not a SJ manga pretty sure it a shonen magazine manga
Fair enough, im not really sure what the difference is@@playername9391
but its from kodansha?
I agree I think Gachiakuta will be like the next Demon Slayer or JJK
Gachikuta will most likely be the new Jjk or Demon Slayer most likely animated by Mappa or Ufotable and probably be as long as them as well.Thing is it’s not WSJ.
Everyone thought it was doomed when dragonball z was going to end. The Naruto, Bleach, and One piece came in clutch.
Shonen is doomed,
Fire force gone
Demon slayer gone
Mha gone
Jjk is ending this year
Black clover ending this year
That only leaves one piece, sakamoto days & kagura bachi
Sakamoto days isn’t that popular, and the anime won’t dramatically change that
Kagurabachi has a chance,
Dandadan is trash
Csm fell off
For the sake of it let’s say kagurabachi & sakamoto days takes off
That leaves op, KB & SD
Those 2 series(KB & SD) cannot take up the hype/income of Only JJK, let alone adding in mha
Shonen jump is 1000% going to lose money, and there’s nothing they can do about it, they honestly did this to themselves by trying to keep up that same bs formula (underdog mc with mid powers who relies on asspull power ups & power of friendship) also the antagonists having super op powers, and having them be defeated essentially the same way by the protagonists, that has bit shonen jump in the butt, why do you think the newer shonen titles have changed to be more like seinen(darker, more maturity, etc etc)
would wsj let go off op just like that? idk if oda will agree but i hope they dont force a sequel series for it
When it eventually end ends I can see spin-offs for characters and other stuff from OP, but an actual sequel series not so much
@@SamTheGumMan117 Idk, Boruto exists and Kishimoto isn't even the one continuing the series. I've heard the same about Super and Toriyama. They've been passed on to others. The creators aren't the ones continuing the franchises. Either way, spin-offs will continue the series all the same. It doesn't need to be a sequel for the companies involved. All that matters is if it will last for years to come. To keep the franchises going in some form.
After One Piece that man is gonna travel the world and RELAX but I'm sure they will milk One Piece somehow
@@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr didn't Kishimoto replaced Kodachi back in 2020?
@@Joshua_N-A I’ve heard conflicting things about whether he came back or not. If he’s really writing for the series or only over-seeing Boruto. A lot of fans have noted how different Boruto even in its current form is different to when Kishimoto was writing. I’ve also heard the book cover credits haven’t changed to reflect Kishimoto is writing again (supposedly). How much involvement does Kishimoto have and is this just a case of slapping his name on Boruto because the series was struggling without Kishimoto and apparently Kishimoto’s new works weren’t doing well either. So his plan to move on didn’t go as well. There are cases where a creator of a franchise or series will be credited, but have little to no involvement in a project. Sometimes creators will like a fanfic so much they’ll allow it to be published and then add their name because, technically, it is their franchise still, even if the work got to be officially published, but is written by someone else. There’s all sorts of ways for a creator to be credited, but have suspect involvement in a project. I do know Kishimoto wasn’t interested in continuing Naruto. That’s why Kodochi was writing Boruto in the beginning. I also read Kishimoto’s supposed return was more recent than that. Only since a year ago. Sometime in ‘22. At best, I’ve heard Kishimoto is in a supervisory role in Boruto currently. It also sounds like Kishimoto is more interested in a live action Naruto than anything related to Boruto.
yooo can you tell me where that 00:36 to 00:50 part is from?? that shit is awesome

@@animeaugie Thanks
I'm not too concerned about the wsj after One Piece, JJK, and MHA ending. A lot of long running series in the mag have ended, even ones we never heard of in the west and they kept on going. I think Kagurabachi has a high chance of being wsj's next big thing but we're gonna need to wait and see. It could also be Sakamoto Days, but i feel like its nearing its end. I thought Mashle would be it, but it ended last year. And Kaiju No. 8 is on in Jump+ so i dont know if it counts.
Have you seen what those weekly serials do to those poor mangaka? Pure stress, weekly performance reviews, contracted staff, limited artistic control, poor working conditions, all based on popularity and the ability for your fans to buy merchandise and individual volumes to boost your brand and significance worldwide.
Bro is snubbing witch watch every chance he gets lol.
Egghead island started in the last QTR of 2022 if I’m recalling correctly & it’s still not done 😅 tbh I don’t think One Piece is going to hit that 5 year prediction Oda previously mentioned
There is no problem. This is how jump has always been. One Piece, Naruto DBZ, Saiki K (yes he counts too) are all crazy exceptions that are able to run longer than 5 years.
If you run longer than 5 years youre basically part of the hall of fame. And I think theres like less than 30mangas that achieved that in Weekly sjonen jump
If Shonen Jump needs a that mangaka to its saviour, I'VE BE HELL DYING TO BE!
(Haha, if you're with the same page as me, let's race towards it, HAHA)
Bro weekly chapters are killing mangakas health
Hunter hunter is a masterpeice but due to togashi's health it is not consistent 😢
MHA isn't ending this year. Been hearing this for years
Maybe they should recruited from foreign counties different theme and culture it just western and East Asian culture
Idk about Shonen Jump ending just cause one piece ends and there not being any long term series out. There’s still plenty of shorter series. I guarantee Frieren is going to start selling a lot more with how popular the show has been. It might last a long time, too. There’s so much they can do with that world. Chainsaw man is still going strong with being the 5th best selling manga series last year. Blue lock was the best selling last year and that’s still going. Shonen jump won’t end. It’s just the long series. And who knows, maybe someone will come out with a series soon that stays a long time.
Undead Unluck is Perfect !
The magazine has always axed stories. That's nothing new. I don't think anything will happen to the magazine. They'll find other series. Will they be as long as the big 3 or DB? Probably not, but those types of hits don't happen every day. Most battle franchises only go for about 100 episodes or however many chapters that is in manga form. Most franchises aren't going to go for as long as those heavy hitters did. 15 years of a franchise is a big ask. Most of them aren't going to be One Piece which I'm almost certain will still be running even when I'm an old lady. And if it does happen to end. I'm sure The One Piece will still be continuing the story.
It might
