The usual Jump insider on 2ch has revealed that Mx0 will end soon in the coming issues. I don’t post about comics getting cut from Jump, but I liked Mx0 so I’m posting about it! Man I thought it would survive a little longer. Also getting cut from Jump are Poseidon and Hatsukoi gentei.

Additional note: Just in case anybody misreads, Mx0 is going to end in the next 3-4 chapters or so, it’s not going to end immediately in the next issue of Jump.

Kami nomi zo shiru sekai - The world only god knows, is a manga that has recently started in Shounen Sunday by author Wakaki Tamiki (who has no money). The manga is about 17 year old student Katsuragi Keima who is apparently the god of galge and has already conquered 10,000 girls in galge.

(more…)

The June issue of Dengeki Daioh which will be released on the 21st of April contains a mysterious ad depicting a baby feeling up Shana and a message saying that a brand new Dengeki Daioh will be revealed in June. Nothing else is known at this point, more will probably be revealed in the July issue.

The Dengeki Moeoh blog also reveals that a Sharin no kuni manga by Usami Wataru will start in the July issue of Dengeki Daioh. About time!

Japanese blog Ninniki nikki reports that the bakery Boulangerie Ken at Akatsuka have started selling bread that is made to look like the stone mask from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Pics are available on the blog.

Wakaki Tamiki, author of Sekesshou Albatross which ran on Shounen Sunday for a year and also has an upcoming new serialization to start in the next issue of Shounen Sunday. However, he writes on his blog that he’s extremely low on money now, with less than 10,000 yen (US$100) in his bank account.

He would have no money to pay the utilities bills, but he managed to get an advance from Shounen Sunday for the manga that’s starting serialization in the next issue.

He also mentions that they haven’t increased the amount he gets paid per page despite having been promised that he’ll get more, and that he has never gotten a raise in the amount he gets paid per page after having been around for 9 years.

He says that when he compares the amount that he gets per page as compared to his other friends that also draw manga in other magazines, they get several thousand more yen per page as compared to him.

Though, it should be noted that mangaka are seldomly able to live off the amount that they get from the magazine and they only really get a substantial amount from tankoubon sales. I always thought the guys that have had a reasonably long serialization in the top selling magazines don’t run into financial problems like this, I thought wrong.

Negima author Ken Akamatsu has announced on his blog that they’ll be releasing a Negima OVA with the limited edition versions of vol. 23 to 25 of the tankoubon. The anime will be by Shaft again and it’ll be based on the manga version of Negima this time.

Akamatsu has been dropping hints on his blog about this for like… six months now. They’re apparently leaving it to him to pick the portions of the story to animate and he has picked chapters 176 to 183 for the 3 episodes.

I was hoping they’d do the final parts of the mahora festival instead…

An anime version of the slice of life manga Hyakko was announced at the Tokyo International Anime Fair held today. Hyakko currently runs on the web magazine FlexComix Blood and is available for free reading on their site.

I liked the manga but I never expected Hyakko to get animated since it was such a… minor manga.

On the other hand the Yozakura Quartet anime was announced some days ago too but that wasn’t much of a surprise.

No info yet on actual title, the contents, or the frequency of the manga, but yeah. And TV drama of 81 diver.

Peach-Pit has made a surprise appearance in Young Jump in this week’s issue with a one-shot comic called Shoujo no tsukurikata (How to make a girl) about how Shinku was made. The original Rozen Maiden manga ended its run in Comic Birz abruptly last year amid problems.

It isn’t officially serialized in the magazine yet, but there is a note at the end of the comic that says that they will be having a big announcement in next week’s issue.

This week’s Shounen Sunday comes with a free card of Sakuya from Hayate no gotoku which can be used in the Hayate no gotoku TCG. In commemoration of the Sakuya card, a certain Sakuya fan has brought upon himself to buy 398 copies of the magazine.

He had to travel to 82 different branches of 7-Eleven buying several copies of Shounen Sunday from each branch to complete the task (leaving a few copies so others can get their own copy)

398 is a wordplay on the name “Sakuya”, which is why he bought 398 copies. And each copy of Shounen Sunday costs 250 yen (2.50 USD), so 398 copies comes up to 99,500 yen (995 USD).

…I wonder how he’s going to get rid of 398 copies of Sunday.
