Keyman 23-24.5

All those revelations holy shit. So many swerves in those chapters.

Franck is such a boss telling that he can destroy everyone easily.

Sally and Alex story of how they met was so good.

 

[wonzo]

would read a kago truck manga

 

[A Huge Battleship]

Aunt Tits 144

Inspired use of a reward to further his training. The color pages next chapter will also be inspiring.

I think that one transcended any language.

Not any language, but just any language.

 

[Shengar]

Guess I need to get monster hunter too. Viz also picked up one of the new series (elDLIVE, Judos, Hi-Fi Cluster, or Sporting Salt) as it says they are continuing one in the next issue. Hope its Hi-Fi.

All of this MH talk
Does Oda play MH too?

You think Oda has the time to play at all? Dude is apparently overworking himself to exhaustion.

I mean, that's the point! He need MH or something to relax himself. Dude's a complete opposite of Togashi in their work.

Unless he gets addicted to MH and it'll start becoming One Hiatus.

I don't think we have a mangaka addicted to MH yet, lol

 

[Usobuko]

From what I have read he hasn't made much money off of Naruto because he sold the rights away.

Is it? I feel for this guy.

The Naruto console/PC games sells like over a million each time and it came out almost annually.

The Breaker: New Waves 176

I'm surprised people don't recognize any of the mask people. They seem important enough in Murim to recognize them based on hair/body/etc.

Not really

Joining them in the top ten this year for the first time at 9th overall was Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto, who paid 112.7 million yen in taxes.

Yeah Kishi is rich as fuck. Otherwise he would have pulled a Ken Akamatsu.

I wonder how much money does Oda have.

I wonder how much money does Oda have.

The One Piece Podcast
Interesting program on TV attempted to break down Oda’s salary. They admit it’s NOT 100% concrete but they attempted to be as accurate as possible. They brought in three guests to help deal with the calculations, all of them big-time former... editors:

Nobuhiko Horie- Former editor of City Hunter and former editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen JUMP

Pak Chon-Hyong- Former editor of GTO @ Shonen Magazine

Ryunosuke Ito- Former editor of Psychometrer Eiji @ Young Magazine

First they looked at the fields authors get their money from:
(keep in mind these values are ROUGHLY in dollars)

-Original Work
They suggested a manga author typically can make $100 per page and can move up from there with experience. Two of the panel suggested Oda is currently paid $500 per page, the other suggested $300. They went with $500. and decided to calculate 500 by 20 pages by 48 chapters per year. This works out to roughly $480,000

(If I was doing it I probably would have calculated at 19 pages given Oda’s current work.)

-Printing Tax

This is the figure for tanks. Authors receive approximately 10% of sales. That roughly $4.20 times 32,340,000 tanks sold last year (!!!) times 10%. Roughly $13,582,800.

@_@

-Use of Properties

This is for the anime and movie(s) whenever they’re aired or shown. The author is estimated to get about $3,000 per episode $10,000 per movie. With 50 anime episodes per year and one film that’s $160,000

-Foreign Use

Basically what he gets from overseas sales. They estimate it at $2,000,000.

-Use of Characters

Essentially what he receives for the use of characters for merchandise and DVD sales. They estimated $15,000,000.

Add it all up?

$31,222,800

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I wonder how much money does Oda have.

Well, I read he makes about 2 billion yen ($25 million) a year

 

[AquaWateria]

I wonder what Oda spends with all that money.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I wonder what Oda spends with all that money.

Knowing Oda? Drawing supplies, cigarettes, and random family expenses

Oda is overworking? He seems to be active in the music concert scene.

 

[Shengar]

I wonder what Oda spends with all that money.

I guess Oda is a very modest man. Probably the money went to cigarette, family, and assistant expense. Drawing manga is his job and hobby at the same time, I can't imagine he dedicated to other hobby.

Spoiler

Unless if you count porn magazine collecting as a hobby

I recognized most of the works in the top 10 list except for this guy.

Fujio Akatsuka

He was like Osamu Tezuka to science fiction
Akatsuka is the father of gag manga with his Tensai Bakabon.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

World Trigger 79

love Miwa's outfit, it makes this panel (and page) feel even better than if he had standard trion body gear.

Also how strange for everyone to Trigger Off simultaneously, good strategy for all involved (yuma last chapter), osamu this time (Hyrein face and line at that moment, have fun being outwitted), and then angry miwa as usual. I hope it gets animated, I need to hear him evne more.

Kind of shocked thats all Mira has going for her, just warps and then wiped out. How can she teleport them back?

 

[Save 'N Quit]

The eternal argument retold.

Gotta give props to stalker girl.

Her Chun-li and Cammy cosplay were fiiiiine.

 

[Usobuko]

I can't imagine Oda getting only 10k for each movie. I think it's more, consider the recent ones like Z and Strong World has more of Oda involvement.

They are also quite successful in JPN box office too.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Kazuki Makes Love Happen?! at ALL-BOYS High School episode 10

The peeping through the newspaper was so low tech, lol. Surely she could see it too?!

Pokemon NPC design is getting more interesting that the main characters

Seriously, she is much better that those kiddies in Pokemon XY.

I think 10k is just base money for license. He could get more if he's involved directly, or the movie performed well. So we can say that $31 million is low estimate of Oda's wage per year.

 

[PK Gaming]

Kanamemo 1-34

Man, I remember watching the anime and not liking it very much, but the manga is much better. Like way, way, way better. The jokes are funnier, Kana's got characterization that goes beyond "timid, clumsy girl", Haruka is less annoying, there's barely any smut, and the individual chapters are more fun.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Eroge no Taiyou 8-9

That sure is a convenient explanation for the asshole president.

Almost makes it seem like he could be redeemed somehow....

NPC always had better design since gen1... hell i would say especially in gen1.

 

[Shengar]

You could said that, but recently the the difference become even bigger with both the NPC design become better and main character design become worse. Its kinda frustrate that a female character design with such determination flowing out of her eyes only ended up as generic NPC trainer ;__;

Eh dunno, to me the art direction becomes worse generation after generation... gen6 art to me is a mix of laughable and sad.

 

[Quasar]

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso 22 - The chapters are flowing fast now. Continue to really enjoy this. So maybe Kaori isn't dying of cancer or something after all.

Sankarea 55 - That end. Pretty much how I expected the story to end.

rip in piece any relationship progress over the next like 20 chapters.

Hajime no Ippo 1075

I think this is the realest this manga has ever gotten and it brings up a good point. Ippo has been fighting all this time to "get stronger" and somewhere along the way, he started to box to meet everyone's expectations. What do you do when realize that type of thinking is wrong when you are putting yourself into fights that could potentially damage you permanently? Kumi realizes Ippo is headed down a dangerous path and wants him to stop before it's too late. If Ippo is split into 3 Acts, I think we just entered Act 3. It all goes downhill to the end from here.

Part of me is expecting another loss soon and a timeskip, sort of having him follow in Date's footsteps. Ippo needs to remember why he's doing this in the first place.

Voynich Hotel Vol. 1

This is weird and crazy, but not as weird and crazy as Nickelodeon or Oddman 11

I'm liking it, though.
Is it called the Voynich Hotel because of the Voynich Manuscript?
Is the common link between the two that they are erratic and I can't decipher whats going on?

One Punch Man 37.6


More Genos please, not as good as his assault on the machine from the early part of the manga but just as good.

You cray DTL! You only like to see hot guy action without regard to the quality of the story. I couldn't get enough sensei personally. I thought his conversation with kind was more captivating than Genos' fight against the robot. It's insane I haven't gotten enough of sensei being a bad ass this far into the manga <3
