Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru! - 06
The worst thing about the manga is the main guy's obsession with waifus, but outside of that, this is turning out to be a pretty nice read.
This is for Solune.

I know someone here knows the origin of this:

This buildup to the inevitable re-encounter with you know who is almost unbearable.

Yamada 73
So to dispel the seventh witches power, you have to give the person another power to take its place. Yamada's going to have to kiss the entire school and put the entire school under his spell. Should be interesting.

See the bolded above! I haven't actually read it yet, it's just been added to my backlog / list of stuff to check out along with about 1,000 other things.

That story sounds way to good to only be a oneshot. Editors must do everything in their power to facilitate a series. Get Urasawa twenty assistants.I wonder if Urasawa's 41 page Monster Kingdom one-shot is going to be published anywhere as a standalone volume. It's in the newest issue of Big Comics released during the weekend. It sounds pretty interesting. It's set in an alternate reality where Tokyo has been the victim of many monster attacks over the years, and they have developed ways to minimize the damage caused by such attacks. As a side effect though, Tokyo has also become a huge tourist attraction for monster fans from around the world. The main character is a French monster fan who travels to Tokyo for sightseeing, and he meets a woman who has lost family members to monster attacks. I wanna read...
Just to make sure Urasawa eventually fucks it up? ^^;

Miwaku Shikake - Amai Wana 2
This manga feels a bit different in someways, I guess making the people seem real but then the lead protagonist is kind of rude and disrespectful. Though his situation seems odd with that old man the company has to keep a contract with. I wonder how the writer will handle the situation to get him out of it without having to resort to sexual means, though I guess he has to do it with either hachidori or with that old company man (unless hachidori is just joking).

So true.
Idol A volume 1
Edition for this one is massive compared to the norm, which surprised me (and it also explains the 7 price, in a way).
The starting pages of the story were confusing me, until I caught up to the switch between the two characters. I really like the premise of the story, with the two exchanging roles like that but what I like most of all is how initially Azusa seems the genius and by the end of the volume it's clear Keita is even more amazing by the sheer fact he's so good at portraying Azusa.
The story is absurd, the characters are absurd in their own way but damn if it isn't fun.
Yup, and I was really disapointed to see that Idol A only have one volume, it could have evolved in some interesting ways.
I hope we also are gonna get Mix.
Yes, France gets everything, too, that what you wanted to hear?
It's not complete as far as I know but I guess it's questionable if there will be ever enough chapters to make a second volume.
Haha whoa, just imagine replacing this with the real one in the latest chapter. Nothing will change in everyone's behavior, but for completely different reasons!

I wonder what the surprise announcements will be for our engJump.
It's also what I though, but my recent search brought nothing, and as it's last chapter seems to be 5 year's old I doubt Adachi intend to make it continue.
I'm also kind of lost with Over Fence, it's also seems to be stopped but there again i'm really not sure.
They could still publish older series like Slow step ( i'm only reading chapter of it recently online ) and Itsumo Misora which never got to france.
I've been wondering this for a while; what is the history behind manga being released in the format it is(in magazines) instead of as single chapter books like American comics? As I've been reading more manga I realized that I don't have a very realistic view of how there comics are actually released. It seems like a much better business model to have while the Big Two companies over here are struggling to get people to buy expensive single issues. Do any comics come out in Japan in a different format such as digital or single issues? How many major magazines are there and do they specialize in certain genres?

Its just the one-shot, right? That one was weird as shit since like the bad guys were like armed robbers carrying automatic pistols.
Half Life 3 announcement confirmed.
Well magazines are all targetted to a specific demographic.
For instance, the Weekly Shounen Jump (with One Piece, Bleach...) is for male pre-teens/teenagers.
A magazine like Margaret is for female pre-teens/teenagers...
And there are some more specific magazine that really are about one genre like magazines featuring only Mahjong mangas...
I guess the major magazines would be the Shounen Jump, Shounen Magazine, Young Jump, Gekkan Shounen Magazine...
How expensive are these? I haven't bought a Jump in the US in ages but I think I remember them being around $10 per.
How big is the manga audience in Japan? Numbers wise, comparatively, a comic book here is maximum usually around 100k issues sold. And that's for the big books like Batman; most series are much lower.
Magazines are quite cheap, they're like 5 dollars I think. That's because the quality isn't that good, and people just leave them in public places (trains...) when they're done with it.
Manga volumes... Well depends on the series.
One Piece sells more than 2 million units in a week when a new volume is released.
Come here when weekly sales are posted (around Tuesday/Wednesday), numbers speak for themselves.

What happened to that quarterly chart of lots of the magazines.
Both have an irregular schedule so he can pop out a new chapter whenever he wants to, he did need 6 years for the 6 Idol A chapters for example. I can't say that he still intends to make more but at least there was a time when he wanted to because it clearly says "volume 1" on the cover.
Magazines are in a way just an advertising tool for the tank volumes, they are dirt cheap and the paper they are printed on is usually of very low quality. They are meant to be bought by many and tossed away afterwards, you'd then buy the tanks for the series you're interested in later on. With most of the mags specialize at a specific audience (there are some which focus solely on housewives for example), you can find a series which interest you much easier, the same for the publishers who can market specific content to a certain audience much easier.
