Kagurabachi will get two consecutive color pages on Issue #22/23 & #24 for the volume 2 release

Let's not forget that some other series got hit with an axe even after multiple color pages or still got dumped into the bottom ranks after a series of color pages. It ain't safe till it nabs the LCP.

 

[SharkBait]

Well, rip Ruirui Seki

Seriously? Jump EiC has got to be kidding me. There was still more that could have been explored. Unbelievable.

Editorial saw all the fighting here and decided Nue and Kagurabachi could sit in the bottom five together.

Chojo ain't letting up.

 

[Tavnaria]

GGG and Dear Anemone are definitely getting axed next batch, unless the new series flop harder and save GGG.

Chojo is definitely the one who's 100% here to stay. I find it funny like 60% of the time, but the humor probably resonates more with Japanese audiences. But what really makes it functional as a mainstay is that it can just as easily be serious and heartfelt when it needs to be.

Also, I already saw some snippets of doujinshi stuff regarding the gorilla, so it's got all the competition beat on the only front that matters.

Hun hun hun

 

[Nemesis]

when was the last time a manga began with so many good positions as chojo?
also, nue and kagurabachi mainstay on bottom 5 lol

Everyone and their mother could see the axe coming. The series was flopping hard, people don't even bother talking about it, idk why you think it deserves much more. Blaming Jump EiC for this is funny.

Unless the next round isn’t for 15-20 more issues GGG is surely a goner. Or if MHA/JJK ends that could spare it in the next round, I suppose.

Unfortunately Dear Anemone will probably dodge the U19 since I doubt they will start the next round within 8 issues…

Everything else should definitely be safe for at least the next batch.

Love the look of this. Fingers crossed that this ends up being another banger. It's the one in this batch I was looking forward to most.

On another note, it looks like GGG will be axed in the next round. Too bad, I was really enjoying it but this is something you gotta accept when following Jump. I think it needed a stronger initial hook and to get to the competitions quicker

I don't see how JJK/MHA ending could have any influence on GGG if the series keeps on being bottom 3 every week. They will just axe it anyways, not like it makes any difference.

Kill Blue? Was Kill Blue also quite high early on?

 

[echo]

My problem with GGG is that its good but its not good enough to replace any of my favorites if I was actually sending in a top 3 survey. Like, GGG is always in the top 5-7 range for me.

If the next round is a round of 2 they could just end MHA/DA and it would give GGG more time to possibly outrank the series starting right now.

But realistically GGG is probably dead in the next round yeah.

Checking Jajanken it looks like TES and Blue Box had the most recent starts similar to Chojo right now.

Jump becomes more compétitive than 2 years
