Well, I doubt they would put something they're releasing exclusively as a graphic novel since that would majorly slow down the releases for that series. So it would have to be something they don't already have in their graphic novel line, and they don't have any licenses like that I'm aware of...

I don't think you'll see Detective Conan in Shonen Jump because in Japan it was Shonen Sunday published.

Shonen Jump is the American version of Weekly Jump (I believe). Either that or it was the same thing in Japan.

Anyhow, they probably won't be putting anything in the magazine that has already been released as in graphic novels. Certainly not Bleach which is in the early part of a long story arc.

If they add anything, it will be some new license that hasn't been released yet as a graphic novel.

I think they should add something to Shojo Beat rather than Shonen Jump, though. SJ is already pretty big but SB is relatively small.

Even among SB's line of titles, though, I think they're pretty self-sufficient. They already have plenty of high-profile stuff like Nana, Fullmoon, Absolute Boyfriend, etc. etc.

If anything, I'd like to see more Editor's Choice/Signature/whateverthehellitisnow from Viz. Just to get back to their roots.

ICK! You actually want them to put another series in the magazine. Sorry, but I don't want to get the Bleach GN's every 3-4 months. Their pace is horrible. One Piece and the rest are gonna take years and years to finish, at least twice as much longer than they should. Especially with One Piece(just passed the 40 volume mark), that won't come to an end here for many many eons.

Shonen Sunday and Shonen Jump aren't the same. Not only is there those two comic magazines but there's also Shonen Magazine, and Shonen Champion. From there I could go on forever, but people might get mad.....

I would actually like them to add a new series, just not one being released already as a GN. I happened to be collecting Bleach at the time of their poll regarding that, and if a manga is being serialized, I don't intend to have a second version on my shelf. Yu Yu Hakusho will complete first, but that still leaves a whole bunch of other long manga that I'll probably tire of sometime or another. What I'm most worried about is the issue size. Ever since DBZ was dropped (not that I'm complaining about that one), there have been less chapters of manga, excluding the chapter previews of new titles. Before it was about 15-16 chapters, and now it's about 12-13 chapters. At this rate, we'll never get anything done. It's still the same amount of chapters per series, but I was *hoping* maybe we could move a little faster now that DBZ was gone. If VIZ were to serialize something new, I hope it something short like a one-shot.

It probobly makes more sense from their view to just devote those extra pages to previews of titles that are trade paperback only. Kinda cheap, but that's buisness.

What I'd like to see is that they actually put out an anthology like PULP that not only runs adult oriented manga, but also has articles that makes it worth reading. Most people on the forum probobly don't remember PULP, but it had some amazing articles by a wide range of guest writers.

Wow, nostalgia! I remember PULP, though unfortunately for me I only got about a year's worth of reading it before it was discontinued. I was just re-reading Dance til Tomorrow recently too...

I think a good series they should do is Highschool! Kimengumi.

From what I hear, this thing is still popular in Japan.

They did....They added claymore and hikaru no go and might be adding Bleach at least I think so...but I'm for sure that they added a new series because I have last month's issue....and Claymore and Hikaru No Go are the newest ones.

They added Hikaru no Go two years ago, Claymore was just a preview of the first chapter, and if they put Bleach in the English Jump with the current release pattern of graphic novels, I will not be happy...

The newest volume of Bleach says volume 13 will be out in June, so it doesn't appear there are any magazine plans for the series right now, at least. I suppose that could always change, but hopefully it won't.
