Real shame about Mononofu, it's a really quality series...

Hey, does anybody know how the rankings of HxH are determined after a hiatus? I observe the ToC for quite some time now but this question has always eluded me.

i'm guessing it's getting the same treatment the new series get before their 8th chapter

1 year of hiatus is 1 year of not rank

Anyone that says they know doesnt really know. Im 1000% sure the editors are just placing it where they see fit in the magazine.

Unless people are under the belief that it wouldnt appear in the table of contents...

Hunter x Hunter ranking? Why, it's right where they printed it.

It's yours if you can find it. But you will have to search the whole magazine!

So what happened to the color pages for Toriko's anniversary? Did jump forget?

It got one last year.

Ana no Mujina on Jump+ is changing from biweekly to an "irregular serialization." At least it's not being canceled, but that does kinda suck.

From the school of JoJo everyone!

I'm really hoping Mononofu can rise, hope this week was just a blip. Really glad World Trigger is getting cover next week!

Anyone else think Hunter x Hunter has gotten really stale lately? Especially with the latest chapter where nothing significant happens? It really feels like Togashi is just dragging it out for some reason.

Nah son, it's been all fan service since it came back, and goddammit the fans have earned it. I'm sure he'll have the current developments go somewhere but for now I'm content.

Hero Academia is honestly not doing rather well currently in Japan. The latest reports from Tsutaya and 2ch are that the game seems to be a flop. Whether that is true remains to be seen this week but the overall opinion there is that its a flop in every way. Its tankobon sales are the weakest so far for the nichigo slot, its ratings are the lowest, disc sales are not hot at all and now game sales are also not doing well. I honestly believe it might have been due to the slow start. Most shows end on a gripping not but BnHA decided to split its first chapter and ended on a very low note.

 

[Avok]

That's the impression I'm getting too.
I expected the sales to skyrocket but so far the boost hasn't been that big, like the ones of Tokyo Ghoul, Taizai or AssClass.

I don't know why the decided to go so slow (and it doesn't help that it'll be 13 episodes). With the amount of chapters that are out they could have easily made a 24 episode season covering 60-70 chapters.

Is it because the production started so early? (Horikoshi said it was around volume 3 and Bones said it was right after the first volume got published).
At the pace they're going they could make seasons 2 through 4 right away.

To be honest, Ansatsu was huge before the anime, but the biggest boost in recent years was probably Taizai. I honestly feel that with these 13 episodes, Shueisha may have just wanted to put its foot in the door for the nichigo slot. That timeslot is a mess right now with two series airing in 1 cour.

Horikoshi was told by his editor around volume 3 but Bones' president said it was around volume 1's release, meaning that its possible that they start anime pre-production around that time and depending on its sales, they may give it the go.
