 Inuyasha TV manga commercial   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Editor's note: This is just information that appeared in Shonen Sunday regarding information about an animated TV advert for the Inuyasha series as a while - sort of coinciding with the release of the first volume.
Shonen Sunday's serialised glamourus manga is squeezed and condenced into an animated 30 second film.
Because all of the staff who handle "Shonen Sunday's Commercial Theatre" worked just on this animation, this time it's no mistake that the glamour of "Inuyasha" will be proficiently brought to you thoroughly and without restriction.

 Shônen Manga article by P. Duffield
Since shonen manga anthologies tend to be a publisher's best-selling collection, the excess of advertising is understandable, especially when it comes to promoting the company's other publications.
With numerous comic veterans, a well-balanced selection, and complex plots, Shonen Sunday was the most polished and well-rounded anthology of the four.
Considering Shonen Magazine has been home to such manly sports classics as Ashita no Joe, Kyojin (long o) no Hoshi (Star of the Giants), and Offside, there is certainly a historic precedent for their current selection.

 COMICON.com: To the so-called "mainstream." Please read and take note:
Shonen Jump is boy's adventure--in Japan, it extends beyond pirates, ghosts, and ninjas to crime drama and boy's romance--and te same goes for Shonen Ace, Shonen Sunday, and the like.
Years ago, Shonen Jump polled schoolchildren to find out what values were most important to them; the answers were "hard work," "friendship," and "victory." After that, the editors required that every comic in SJ incorporate the themes of effort, friendship, and victory.
Yes, Shonen Jump is popular, and much(most) of that popularity can be traced to popular franchises, but that's not the BE-ALL of it.

 Inuyasha
Naturally, being in Shônen Sunday, they were preaching to the choir.
In spite of this obvious bias, Inuyasha happens to be an interesting manga, especially when it diverges from the typical formula that Takahashi-sensei has followed for her last 2 works in Shônen Sunday, Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2.
Unlike her previous 2 regular Shônen series, Inuyasha is a period fantasy set during the time when Japan was in the chaos of civil war, and at first glance, has a goal for which her intrepid characters to strive.

 SAVANT:: Start
As such, manga is one of the most profitable form of publishing in Japan; magazines such as Shonen Sunday and Shonen Jump cross lines of age and gender in their appeal, even though the majority of their content is geared towards young boys.
The economic requirements of the phonebook anthology, however, are less attractive to American audiences-- the issue of Shonen Sunday I have on my lap, from 1990, is printed in fl and white on extremely bad paper.
Flipping through my 10-year old copy of Shonen Sunday, there are definitely similarities in the ways eyes and faces are simplified and outlined, but the art styles are hardly identical, ranging from Rumiko Takahashi's cartoonishly simple work on Ranma to the bloody, vicious near-realism of a boxing manga.

 Modern Japan - Entertainment - Comics (Manga)
To many Westerners, one of the hardest things to understand about the Japanese is their voracious appetite for manga or comics (though the recent launch of an English version of Shonen Jump manga in the US was hugely succesful).
One of the pioneers of the fat shukan manga (weeklies), along with Shonen Sunday, Shonen Magazine debuted in 1959 and is still one of the most popular boy's manga (shonen means young boy).
In order to compete with the already successful Shonen Magazine and Shonen Sunday, Jump concentrated on hiring and hanging onto talented but as yet undiscovered cartoonists and keeping a close eye on what its readers wanted, through surveys and polls.

Therefore, the anthology format used in the Japanese weekly comics like Shonen Sunday and Shonen King were familiar to me even before they began to appear here in titles like Crossgen's Edge and Forge and even the Action Comics Weekly back in the late 80s.
Maybe this reader, who was only shelling out six bucks a week 'cause he could only afford to pick up two comics, will be willing to pay an extra couple of dollars more than usual to get three times the comics.
And if he's hooked, maybe he'll now buy both Shonen Bat-books each month, thus spending $30 a month, instead of the $24 a month that he was averaging with two books a week.

The life of a manga editor takes one to many strange places, but few were stranger than the trip to Tibet and India made by our senior editorial staff in Summer 1997.
Serialization, under the title Shitai ("Corpse"), began in March 1998 in the weekly Shonen Sunday Afternoon Jump.
Of course, some changes were made to make the story more palatable to boys' manga readers, such as setting the story in the modern day, pacing the narrative with scenes of violence, and satisfying Umezu's "fan service interests." A full recitation of Shitai's curiosities is unnecessary.
