What's the future direction for WSJ given its current stale state?
It's a transitionary period for the magazine, if you've followed it for more than a couple years, you know this is relatively normal.

>stale didn't they bring in double the revenue of last year, and last year was the most revenue they'd made in quite a while?
Connor Lopez
CSM was the last hit they have. BTW is seasonal so it doesn't count.
Mason Jenkins
>>More than half of the catalogue is 2020 series This is normal. The age of super long runners has poisened the well and distorted the view of what Jump, and manga in general, actually usually is.
>Not a single hit in the last 2 years Blatantly false.
>OP is declining So? It's still the #2. It's not like it's a bad thing for Shueisha either, given that the #1 came from the same stable.
>HxH is dead And has been a shambling corpse for more than a decade, closing in on two. It's not a new problem at all.
>The mediocre MHA and BC are the second and third oldest series Completely irrelevant. So what? MHA still makes them money and though it has plateaud, it hasn't declined yet.
Sebastian Gutierrez
He means they haven't debuted a new hit in the last two years. Which is almost always true by definition because it takes 2 years to get an anime minimum.
Alexander Clark
It's still the #2. No
Carter White
Yeah it is. Not in yearly sales, but in terms of actual per volume sales and merch it's obviously the strongest brand out of any ongoing manga.
Carson Allen
Jump doesn't make its money from selling its weeklies, and the money it gets from volume sales is probably tiny compared to the infusions it gets from Shueisha when it does something like produce the source material for one of the best selling movies in Japan's history it doesnt matter if you think KnY is shit, it doesn't negate the fact that it was a big win for everyone involved on the business side.

>Plateaud i dunno i was really bored during My Villain Academia but this war arc has been some good stuff
Jayden Brown
Agravity boys will be a mega hit when it gets an anime adaption.
James Davis
Long running shounen are a thing of past. New series should be 200-250 chapters at most. People do not have the attention span of following 700+ chapter series anymore.
Start releasing long running series again. Anime's the big business. Nobody wants to watch you cram what should have been 50 episodes into a 13 episode shit show.
Jack Cox
this mindset is how we got pierrotshit, user.
Thomas Parker
>and less than 10 months have passed in universe
Tyler Jones
It's still the No.1 Mangazine there is. It won't have another 1995 untill One Piece ends.
>6 years >Deku and the other students are still in their first year. Can't really blame Hori for milking MHA after his first couple of series, but jesus.
Alexander Taylor
>Not a single hit in the last 2 years Chainsaw man and as much as I hate to admit it burn the witch were both hugely sucuesful.
Christian Hughes
i think mashle has potential to be a pretty popular anime if it makes it to that point, best gag series in jump rn unless agravity boys got a lot better after i dropped it
Cooper Gutierrez
OP has been going for 23 years and only two years have passed in-universe. Why are nip authors so bad at pacing?
