I just finised reading the first volume which was great! I love it, One piece and Sandland were my favourite.
is it worth paying 20$ for a 12 volumes?
will they have new mangas every week or continue the series they started until they finish(one piece, yuyu hakusho and sand Land)?

It is well worth it. Instead of paying $5 for 12 months ($60) you can get a years worth for the price of 4 issues. I believe at first they are adding one manga a month. With Naruto starting next issue, then Shaman King the next. I have no idea if they will be rotating strips, or if some strips are larger in size in others and they will just be cut to fit in the new ones.

...and yes! I subscribed months ago to make sure I got the first issue. I got Naruto mangas and would love to see them translated. (Yes, I got translated pages off the net, but would love to have nice printed copies in front of me) I was pleasantly surprised by One Piece, and liked the Shaman King stuff from the preview. Besides they are doing DBZ when I loved it, with the Trunks saga.

Well worth it. I liked it better than Raijin.

I too subscribed to Jump when I saw it at this convention in NYC. I really liked the first issue but i really mad that they didnt have Naruto. I wanted to get Raijin but it was WAY to expensive for me.

I spoke to a Shonen Jump USA Employee a while back. I'm not gonna reveal his name or the department he works for so I'll just call him "Racer X". Before you say it, I'm not lying and have better things to do with my time than start faulty rumors. Since there's no way I can prove this, just ignore this post if you think I'm lying.

O.K. here's our conversation -

Sano: You work for Shonen Jump?
Racer X: Yes.
Sano: It's pretty good!
Racer X: Thank you.
Sano: Wish it had Rurouni Kenshin.
Racer X: Yea, I know.
Sano: Or JoJo's Bizarre Adventure...
Racer X: Well JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a little too violent for our book.
Sano: Yea, it's kind of violent.
Racer X: But Rurouni Kenshin...
Sano: It's not that violent.
Racer X: It's not. But the thing is that Suesha, the company that owns Shonen Jump in Japan told us what Mangas to run and we had no say in the matter. So I'm like, why Sandland? It's only one Volume long. It's basically there to keep Toriyama (Dragonball creator) happy. But when it ends, Rurouni Kenshin... we'll see.
(end)

That's all. Not that "we'll see" inspires me with a lot of confidence.

If Jump released Rurouni Kenshin, I'd explode of happiness.

Also, I'd rather see JoJo in something like Raijin. Now THAT would make me get a subscription.

How is Shonen Jump printed? Is it from right to left or do they flip it around.

First off, Magus, I love your sig. Hehe.

It seems to me that though Shonen Jump is geared for a younger market than JoJo might be suited for, that's not to say the stuff in it is perfectly suited for little kids. I was pretty surprised when the pirates started kicking all kinds of ass, including shooting people in the head, in the first volume of One Piece. Speaking of One Piece, I'm addicted to it, hehe.

Though, I had only heard of Raijin once before this thread. I heard it was like Shonen Jump, but weekly for the US. What kinda titles is this running? Is there an official site I could check out? It sounds interesting... that is, if the titles are good. Now, if only Shonen Jump would go weekly here...

Raijun Comics has Fist of the Blue Sky, (Fist of the North Star Prequel) Grappler Baki, Slam Dunk, Revenge of Mouflon, The First Presedent of Japan and more. And it's WAAAAAAAY better that Shonen Jump.
