Damn, I forgot there was a new EoC! I'm not in denial that japs just might not fuck with the Red Riot chapters but even all of us are saying the ToC just looks odd the last two weeks, not even just MHA's placing. How many issues has it been since the new one took over?
Nakano(EiC) said in a recent interview that his two favourite manga in Jump(aside from One Piece assumingly) are MHA and BC. Obviously, I don't think this is actually true, and was likely an answer to further push those series(one having an ongoing anime, and the other's anime about to begin). I don't think he's trying to mess with MHA, so I wouldn't worry on that front.

Yeah I wouldn't go into conspiracy theories that would fuel the ghost of GIA, they're trying to monopolize with as many series at the end of the day. I'll be fair, the high rankings for Stone are deserved since everything from Chapter 16 is what rekindled my interest for the series. I'll just chalk it up as those specific Stone chapters to be more exciting than those flashbacks chapters, as well as getting pushed.

Pretty sure anybody would be pissed off if one series got a push over the other because it had more marketing potential it would have saved us a lot of time and energy straggling about when all it needed was a bit more advertisement. And now I worry for the fate of Zumo because that series mainly survived by the ediotrial department liking it and now that its changed there isn't much of a reason to keep it alive if its sales doesn't improve.

Yes yes we already know you don't care about anything but WNL.
Nah, Kimetsu no Yaiba wouldn't get the same effect even with the same amount of advertisement. G_I_A veneration for veterans sounds ridiculous the way he puts it, but it is half true, Dr. Stone has Boichi and Inagaki behind it and RxL has Tadatoshi and Kuroko no Basket, they really just need a little push to make success because the authors have a name for themselves. Kimetsu no Yaiba author on the other hand, is a no named with any particular achievement so if Jump pushed it it would be strange, even more than Dr.Stone and RxL. I know you understand why they are advertising them more, I also understand why you are sore, but it can't be helped.

I do care about other series as you may know, but, you know, We Never Learn is the youngest child, it needs more attention, much like when I stared to the TOC every week when Nisekoi was starting because the first year is crucial.

The reason why that kind of reasoning is bunkus is because you're both ignoring that plethora of veterans who came back to Jump and didn't get another hit you're also ignoring Tamura who is current series Hungry Marie is bombing hard you're also ignoring the fact that Neverland is a huge success and its being done by newbies so no I don't believe more adverts wouldn't have helped Kimetsu (because that's exactly what happened) Dr. Stone and Robot are experiencing an editorial push that's not like the previous rounds hence why its doing well the authors being veterans has nothing to do with anything especially Tadatoshi who's just using Kuroko's popularity to as a leverage to Robot. In any other era I doubt either Dr. Stone or Robot would have done well.

I'm not reading, but this BnHA flashback you're talking about must be pretty bad and different from the other chapters to have fallen so much.
But, anyway, Haikyuu also fell, so I was imagining that maybe it was a keikaku of the editors to help the new series. XD

Dr. Stone is fun, but I think the art is responsible for 90% of this, the plot is too fast to catch me.
Kimetsu has improved a lot. I am enjoying it.
About TPN, I liked the first phase more. The second is too much talking, too little stakes. Even so, it is taking several first positions. Good for them.
Robot I dropped after 10 chapters. Golf is not my thing.

It was only 13 pages hence the drop the chapter itself was fine but he really shouldn't have split it up into two short chapters

As most people stated HQ rankings tend to be all over the place despite its popularity, I mean Hinata was chosen to be apart of Jump Legends next to Luffy, Suguru, etc., so its TOC ranking is irrelevant though this current arc has been dragging a bit.

They brought 6 series from veterans together to make some successes from them, they came with this intention and they will not let them go without a fight, that's why it is different from the other veterans that came back. Veterans were always more privileged, take Tamura himself, only the fact that he is still serializing is a push, the series was terrible and if were a newbie, it would be canceled in 10 chapters flat.

Over half a million views and only 1 like/disklike vote. Is Shueisha now using bots?

Just like every youtube video? Just because someone views it doesn't mean they have to click like or dislike remember that

Also if they would using bots you would think they would be more likes than dislikes

With over 500.000 views, 0 comments and less than 10 like/disklike votes it's obvious something isn't right.

Check out their recent videos before this. Some haven't reach 1k views. Heck, even the one that mentions One Piece has 1k~2k views. OP 20th anniversary video has 250k views with 4k likes/58 dislikes They only have 37k subs

now check most popular. The two most "recent" half a million views was the Assassination Classroom video from 2 years ago, or the Gintama live action a months ago.

Jeez, couldn't Fujimaki be a little more original with his CP composition? That looks like 80% similar to KnB's CPs.
