Wow, Japaneses sure like Onedera...the Onedera-centric chapters took Niseoki in 2nd place again! Impressive.

Upcoming oneshots

Sweet! So Miki Yuu (who did Kaizou Ningen Rogii) is back, huh... he won the JUMP Treasure Award back in 2010 and his story later got published in a printed issue of WSJ (#8/2011). That oneshot was really flashy and had some nice designs.

His story is the one in the middle, called Jugon Kitan Miyaura-san.

And while I'm at it, last one is: Rokkou Tokka (by Gotou Ippei)

Nice TOC, glad to see Nisekoi in second. And I'm still surprised by PSI's success, from what I know it's "just" a gag manga so I wonder what makes it rate so high lately.

Takamagahara and Koisome probably are as good as done now, they've stayed in the same position for weeks so I can't see a way for them to survive for much longer.

why couldn't it rank well. Gintama has also good ranks most of the time, though not that much lately

You misunderstood me. What I meant with "I wonder what makes it rate so high" is that I'm curious to see if the gag(s)/story is as good as the rating implies. And while it may not be anything special for a gag series (mixed with some drama/fighting) to have a good ranking sometimes it do is surprising that it rates that well for a lot of consecutive weeks.

I think the supporting cast and how Saiki interacts with them is a huge selling point for the series. The fact that it's basically an "I'm surrounded by idiots"-sort of scenario, along with Saiki's incredibly dry wit as a narrator, makes the humor that much more entertaining. Well, it's not for everyone, but it's certainly one of the best gag-based series I've read.

Well, the cover for the upcoming Jump NEXT issue just got released here.

Here's another screenshot of the cover uploaded elsewhere online, though it's really small.

I don't even read Gintama but this is one of the most amazing posters I've ever seen in my entire life. So funny.
