I just can't see how GGG can improve its ranking. The series' main appeal are deep characterisation and heartfelt interactions between people. And Jump's audience clearly doesn't really care about that.
Its a Girl (at least is what the sinopsis said):
Are you telling me that the tall goth assassin GF in Mukuteru Aoi was genderswapped into a dude? I'm gonna cry...
Can someone pick up the phone...Because I frickin' called it:
Now, excuse me while I dread the next few weeks as the next part of my prediction comes true.
That is a very masculine hand and broad shoulder for a girl wtf hahaha.
Okay, so it looks like they are going to try something different. But the one thing that really caught my attention is the fact that this will require masks and Venice, Italy. That is a theme that I always wanted to do and want to try to make a film or series out of. I guess the change might have come from a fan letter that I sent to Togo as both encouragement and notes they need to improve on. So let’s see if this will impress us in the next issue (and just to let you know the way I give fan letters is no different how I give my reviews here but more serious and less comedic and I don’t put the mangaka down. If anyone wants to see that letter I sent let me know, I have nothing to hide).
Damn, what a bottom 5. I really hope that MHA and JJK will end soon to give GGG a fighting chance. Otherwise it’s gone. Oh and with a lack of cushions, I guess Nue and Kagurabachi are really in the hot seat. As for Dear Anemone, we all should have seen this coming. But the one thing I hope for is a batch of 1 like we had back in 2021 when Candy Flurry got canned and was replaced with Pppppp.
Great cover, but will it be good.Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #21 ft. Kyokuto Necromance (New Series by Fusai Naba)
Great color pages. Really like the mystique.Kyokuto Necromance Lead Color Pages
HahahahahahahahahaIs someone giving information to Shueisha? I mean yes I send letters to the artists and Nakano, but I honestly never told him about this forum. And that’s the truth.
I resonate with Chojo. So I have no complaints here.
That is what I am hoping for with GGG. I definitely know that MHA and JJK are ending soon. That last chapter of MHA pretty much confirms we are now in the end game.
GGG was always in my top 5 when I vote here. Although when I went back to my old messages here I remembered when I said for one of my reviews for Tenmaku Cinema that the flashback for Tenmaku was “to good”. And I compared that with Oga’s flashback a couple of weeks back. I hope that isn’t the red flag that showcases the end. But one thing that is showcasing about GGG is that it isn’t rushing and the pacing is good. So it isn’t showing any signs of it rushing to an end.
Yozakura is high! And Chojo is also high! But to be honest, i'm not exactly taking Chojo placements at face value, remember, it's a gag manga, obviously being placed this high means good reception but who knows how much the volume will sell, Roboco with all the amount of promotion peaked at 27k in a month, but leaving vol copies aside, no doubt is at least safe for like 2 rounds.
Apparently getting multiple color pages do mean something now, specially when isn't Nue getting them
Series getting a extended life due to a older series finishing or simply editors starting only 1 or 2 series isn't uncommon
I was going to write a whole disseration on the futility of these Nue vs Kagurabachi debates, but you already hit the nail on the head in your og post. Both are probably gonna be pretty consistent in the bottom 5 for a while, fans of either may as well accept that fact now and save themselves the headache for the next few months.
This is not a reliable thing to count on at all. MMA looks like it's starting a new arc, then BOOM! OPEN END! Two On Ice looks like the author is chilling and taking their time and BOOM! END!
Exactly. I said the same thing many times before. And we are not in 2020 where we had 5 major hits, we are now at 15 where there are a lot of decent series and only 3 hits (OP, MHA, & JJK). So there is no more room to be good, you have to be exceptional in order to stay. It also doesn’t help that some of the years have a large batch of series (ex. 3 from 2020, 3 from 2021, and 4 from 2023).

No it started to show some signs of trouble during and after the Drop Out and it shows.
Don’t you feel like this is kinda adding fuel to the fire a bit though? The same fire you’re trying to put out in the very same post?Apparently getting multiple color pages do mean something now, specially when isn't Nue getting them
I'm not so sure about this, remember mha, jjk and maybe even uu and yozakura are all in nearing their finale. That means that only one piece is gonna remain as the heavy hitter in the magazine. I don't think that jump can afford to be so axe heavy right now.....
You had me at Nue hitting bottom 2
Don't worry about it. I think our mod gets that I'm not hotheaded enough to get heated over a little playful baiting. Nue will have to personally walk into my house, empty out my fridge, murder my entire family and sleep on my bed, and only then will I be angry enough to start barking.

I was expecting something more interesting in the magazine cover but the lead color page is pretty good, it's weird to say that the author "evolved" since Aliens Area because he always had good art but clearly had to cut corners with AA due to also working in a month series at the same time, but here it really looks like his art got more refined compared to AA chapter 1, but well, please be good too!Kyokuto Necromance Lead Color Pages
Standard 2nd chapter color page but nice.Astro Royale Color Page
Not really, i had to delete comments because Shark was directly provoking Stivie over the comedy vs serious stuff discussion, this is just me being sarcastic about how one manga getting cp non stop doesn't mean anything but it does when other series get kkkk

But it wasn't directed at you, i just quoted you because you were talking about it so i used to make a "in general" targeted comment kkkk
Yes it does. I went back to 2010 and it was so tight that the only sad casualty was Psyren. But that does ask the question. Did Jump push these series for so long that they became that way. I mean come on, why did Nisekoi have to be in year 2 for so long? But yes, the 2010’s looked like it was so competitive. I mean you had 2012 which was a solid year with Haikyu!!, Sakki K., Assassination Classroom, and Food Wars!. They were really stacked when you have 3-4 series from one year staying for so long (2015 had Black Clover, The Competitive Dance Club, Samon the Summoner). And then you go into the second Dark Age when Kochikame, Bleach, Toriko, Nisekoi, and Assassination Classroom came to an end. And World Trigger went on Hiatus. And then in 2017 with that batch of 6. Not only was the 2010’s more competitive, but a time of significant change to pass down to the next generation as the old guard left.
Actually if it goes ham into the over the top FujoBait genre it may survive.
I am aware about their endings. It is just that MHA and JJK are really close, like 5-6 months close. MYF and UU are in their ends, but not fully near their end ends. And yes OP will be that flagship that will hold until it ends. What I am referring is the whole new gen of hit series. And I agree that they can’t be as axe heavy as they were before. So that means things might be slow. I think now that we got rid of the cushions we are now seeing which series are worth keeping and which ones are of not high priority. Not easy after 4-5 years of recovery to find new hits. But then again, not everything can be like Mashle that knew how long it was but lasted for that short amount of time.
